Isn't it about time for a Commonwealth of Nations map?

Post by Evil DIMwit »

The proposal has come up a while ago but hasn't gotten anywhere, and y'know, that's a shame. Yes, sure, these countries are already represented in dozens of maps separately, and in a few maps together with the rest of the world. But it's the Commonwealth, man! Two billion people headed by a little old lady -- it's ripe for conquest! Plus, if you ask me, the Commonwealth of Nations is the perfect shape for a Conquer Club map. Look how it fits in this neat square:

The British Empire was once the dominant power of the Atlantarctindian Channel.

Well, you might have to cheat a bit with the size of countries to get them all to show up but it'd still be generally accurate.


P.S. Come to think of it, there are tons of foundry people who are actually from the Commonwealth and probably can do it better justice than I can... If someone feels like cooperating, or like remorselessly taking the idea over, I'm for it.

That map is... weird looking. I say skip the common wealth and go straight to the British Empire circa 1900. There's more territories that way.
