This is my concept of what Earth looks like politically in the world of Shadowrun, anno 2074. I've added a bunch of countries in Africa, South-East Asia and the Balkans and split up Arabia, those places were awfully ill defined if not outright ignored in the source material. I thought it was unfair to these places, what with their diverse cultures and rich histories, and it was also boring. So more countries, for everybody!This map took quite some time to make, but it was a lot of fun. Had to do quite a bit of research on various ethnic groups, the borders of old empires, obscure historical flags, local cultures etc. Learnt a whole lot thanks to that, so now I'm a lot better versed in West African ethnic demographics. Also, I got to design a bunch of new flags and not just based off of existing image files, but sometimes also from mere textual descriptions, and other times I just had to my imagination, construing probable designs based on either pan-African symbols or local folk art patterns, sometimes both. Tons of fun, but also tons of work.Anyway, enjoy! And feel free to use it for your own campaigns, if you like.Credits go to lokii from the Shadowhelix wiki (shadowhelix.de) for creating the base map (available here: danvolodar.ru/files/SR/German/ ). This wouldn't have been possible without him. Vielen Dank!
