I wondered the same thing. The Soviet allies were taken from this map, perhaps there was threat of a socialist revolution under Pinochet. Basically I was just using the best/ worst case scenarios for the soviets and NATO allies to give them as much territory as possible.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Empire#/media/File:Communist_block.svg
Would the Philippines not be a member of the NATO Treaty as the have a large christian majority, also why is Kenya a member of the Islamic Union, i would think that they are also a member of the NATO Treaty due Kenya being a former British colony. Good calls. This is the updated map, though a lot of it is just random. I tried to keep territories fairly defined, as though it was the result of a global land and sea war.
Do you think it's worth a write up? I'm not the best writer, I'm not every patient but I can give a rough outline if anyone wants to collab on this.

A map for a TL I'm working that's based on an unlikely source of all things: a video game series called Metal Slug:  |

Well then you just did, though I should note that the games themselves are quite ASB to the max; heck much of the map here was pure guesswork given how little the backstory was in the games. |

To be fair I did use the wiki and from the various manuals and some of my imagination to help me out (as well as some historical precedents); though it doesn't help that the mythos seems to be conflicting with itself in the wiki given the origins of the Rebellion faction. |

Well the map you made looks good. Well thanks and I'm quite proud of it; though my only regret is not having a lot of people commenting about it since it is a high concept that's basically uncharted territory. That and as I'm working on the TL, it will be subject to retcons but hopefully none too compromising. |

Question did you place the number 34 in France because it was to small to be place in former Belgium or am i looking at that wrong. |

It's more like the former for the reasons you given, it needs to be seen afterall. |

I would think Belgium was divided between the Netherlands and France instead of becoming two independent countries. |

I never thought about that, I just assumed that Belgium would split up if it's facing economic issues. |
