Let me help you then.

Indien-Asien: rather "Indo-Asien"
Gran Kolumbien: If that's supposed to mean "Great Columbia", rather "Groß-Kolumbien"
Texas Republik: the "Republik" always comes first, just as in "Bundesrepublik Zentralamerika"
Kalifornien Republik: same
Das Ackerland: seems awkward, what's the original?
Balkanien: simply "Balkan" would suffice

A map of Europe around 15 years after a Central Powers victory (Germany adopted a Russia-first strategy and avoided USW). The Ottoman Empire imploded in the 1920s; most of the Middle East is under the control of the Hashemites (with German and British backing) while a national-communist Turkey is an international pariah rump state.

>>
>>3260441
Pay attention to geography and historical borders (and when it comes down to it, simple aesthetics). Straight borders should be restricted to colonies and even then, they are not present everywhere. If you want to make north-south aligned straight borders, take into account the projection.
Also, the first step is to make borders one pixel thick (as opposed to the borders in >>3260312 where single strokes are clearly seen). In general, steer clear of those continuous lines and do not make wavy lines simply as the opposite of straight lines - borders often follow certain landmarks (rivers,
mountain ranges,...).

Can someone please make a map of their predicted Europe 50 years after it would have lost 95% of its population to the Black Death?

How would the Ottomans, Moors and Mongols have capitalized on this? Would there have been much Islamic conquest/colonisation?

As a general disclaimed, none of the maps I posted here are mine (I've been working on my own for years but I have to admit I haven't finished any). It all comes down to choosing a point of divergence, then doing research for anything from the time period you're not familiar with and creating a timeline (either in your head or by writing it down). There's base maps available out there so you choose one that you like and fill it in, keeping plausability in mind (although at the end of the day, the most important matter is the aesthetic side).

Thanks for the help.

Although I appreciate Kim Stanley Robinson's writing, his novel goes too far in time for my taste.

I'm mainly interested in the possible geography of early Islamic conquests/colonisation of the now remote Europe. Would it for example be a stretch to over time have the Ottomans expand from the Carpithians to the Rhine?

Also the possibility of new native European states emerging fascinates me, especially in regions historically unaffected by the Plague, e.g. the Polish swath around Krakow, the Basque region, remote parts of the Low Countries and to a lesser extent the Duchy of Milan.

>>3271664
I know I'm stretching the "alternative timeline" part here and am moving towards fantasy.
