Im doing an alternate history scenario with a friend and this is my map for 1980. I wanted some fresh eyes to look at this and give some history changes.
the only relavent alteration of history i have here is that I changed the result of the Ecuadorian elections which made it less dependent on the USA.
i think you should show the (NAM) non aligned movement members as independents or just nonaligned instead, since all of africa were members some countries of different sides were also members and Mexico was just an observer.
Since you used the Comecon as the soviet faction, instead of west you could use the OECD since by 1980 its made up by most of the countries of the west plus Japan
I was thinking that, but a co-creator definitely put it as a priority to highlight, so yeah i may just put it into perspective as 'Independent' or 'non-aligned' countries. I tried to make the section also reflect that, since its for countries that are split between east and west, or are truly more independent.
I admit i was blind to the existence of the OECD but god its perfect! the international community is perfectly outlined, and the puppets of empire as well. I will recommend these changes.
thank you for your recommendations
