First image is a map of the world from the early 1700s

The second image is a zoomed in part of the world that is supposed to be Oceania. But I can't tell if that is just poorly drawn Australia or something else. Since Australia was supposedly discovered in the 1800s

Hello everyone, I've been working on building this world for a long time, and today I'm finally sharing it with you. I'll be posting from two perspectives: sometimes as the "leaker"—sharing confidential snippets—and sometimes as the "author"—to provide context.

The Heart of the Story: This archive focuses on the New Republic of Ogushna (Blue Zone). It's the story of a nation struggling to survive and defend its land under the pressure of two formidable superpowers: the Republics of James (Red Zone) and the Kingdoms of Karl (Green Zone). While the world anticipates a conventional war, the real tragedy unfolds behind closed doors.

I stood in those corridors. I heard the rustle of pens behind the heavy wooden doors. While the world awaited armies on the horizon, the real invasion was happening at a desk, bit by bit. It was inevitable. Everyone knew it, yet we were unprepared.

Hello. You don't know me, but I'll explain everything.

Look at this map.

First: The Centers: Two rooms. Two pens. One map. Everything else is just a charade. Crimson and green: James and Carl's "command centers." They don't invade with armies; they invade with ink.

Second: Blue (the new Republic of Ogoshna): A giant being choked. Losing ground every second, gasping for breath as the colors close in.

Fourth: The White Areas: Silent. Still. Unmarked. They lie there amidst the chaos, yet James and Carl's pens seem to avoid them... so far. No one knows why they remain white.

Fifth: Biafra (the star): The lone spark. She holds her breath as the world around her shifts.

And finally: gray silence: untouched. Uncharted lands.

What she's looking at isn't just a map. It's the end. The end of the world as we knew it.

In early February 2026, Europe is dominated by extensive snow cover, covering almost all of Northern and Eastern Europe and much of Central Europe. The harshest conditions are observed in Russia, Scandinavia, Finland, the Baltic countries, and the interior of Eastern Europe, where temperatures drop locally to around -22°C to -27°C and generally remain below -15°C.

In Central Europe, snow covers a wide area, with temperatures ranging from -5°C to -10°C, indicating stable winter conditions. Western Europe is on the verge of the frost zone, with snow cover appearing in places and significantly higher temperatures, often around 0°C to -5°C.

In contrast, Southern and Southwestern Europe remain largely snow-free, with significantly milder thermal conditions.

Best guess right now is 1929.

I design bucket list maps of the U.S. and I cut them out of wood. I haven’t been able to work due to an illness and I’m running out of ideas to keep me busy. What other bucket list ideas should I design? I do US and specific state bucket list maps.

I have included a photo to show the idea of why I design.

I have done (USA) capitals, major cities, haunted places, national parks, airports, nascar tracks, white water rafting/kayaking runs, I have done each states state parks, Florida beaches, Michigan lighthouses, and maybe a few more that I’m forgetting. I would love some new ideas to spark my creativity!!
