I imagine a second Cold War to take place between the US and China, nearly identical to the original one with the Soviet Union. America takes over Cuba to prevent the spread of communism, and Afganistan is too unstable to govern itself, so the United States has set up a temporary government, until a more permanent one can be installed. China already officially owns Taiwan and has made a military alliance with Russia, which also allows China to officially control Mongolia, but gives Russia a significant influence on it. Quebec’s borders, missing land from Australia and Jeju Island are just mistakes.

If America hasnt invaded Cuba in the 50 plus years of Castro or latin ameirca with the Chavez pink tide recently why would it suddenly do so ? Even at the height of the cold war with Cuban troops in other countries to US did nothing like that.
1. I messed up on the borders.
2. I thought it was part of Alaska, so I accidentally colored it in.
3. To prevent the spread of communism from China
4/6. Again, another mistake
5. Israel does not officially own Lebanon, but after a recent war, they control it
7. In an attempt to please the democratic West, Kim Jong-un tries to somewhat demilitarize North Korea. Because of this period of weakness, the US and South Korea push the border farther up north.
8. More land and power
9. Where's that?
10. Mistake
11. That’s not actually the same blue as America. I had that as part of the British Commonwealth on an older map, but because the color looked too close to America, I changed it. I eventually did away with the Commonwealth color altogether, but I guess I forgot about that one.
12. Nearly identical constitutions and languages, shared history and culture, plus it takes less money to maintain two countries than it does for one.
Point 8 doesnt really work - if Mongolia was valuable as land it wouldnt exist today as a country - the fact it isnt one of the reasons why it continues to exist between two great powers.
Does nobody else take issue with this mystical "middle east" which stretches from the Western Sahara to Pakistan? It seems that Superman just thought "meh, they're all muslim" and filled in all the countries without even bothering to erase or recolour the borders.
Then, of course, there is that enclave in the Netherlands.

That and Congress illegalized the possible annexation of Cuba before the end of the Spanish-American War.
They're not supposed to represent one country, just a bunch that act like one. And the enclave was already on the base map I used. I don't know what it is, I just thought it was supposed to be there.
err what?
You obviously know nothing about Spain or Portugal...
Their constitutions are nothing alike since one is a monarchy and one is a republic.
Also about the languages, Spain has like 8 languages...only one is even remotely like Portuguese.
Yes like Iran, Jordan, UAE and Morocco act all the same because they're EVOL MUSLIMS!!!!!1! (Minus Bangladesh, central asia, Malaysia, Bosnia and Indonesia because they aren't in the middle east so they aren't Evol muslims yeh brah?)
So, why not fix the borders? Especially if you're going to post that and ask "is this better"?
This is why we always check before we colour in.
That makes no sense either presently, or in the past 50 years.
And you didn't bother to correct that before posting the map and asking if it was "better"?
Again, why would Israel want that problem? The Palestinian territories are enough of a headache/point of contention for Israel; why would they want to stretch themselves trying to control an already independent, conflict-ridden, sectarian, and populous state that is being influenced by Syria and by extension, Iran?
This makes no sense for three really obvious reasons:
1. The North Korean regime would never do something like that.
2. The DMZ is the most heavily fortified and guarded border in the world. It is full of mines, traps, and military infrastructure. That is not going to change any time soon.
3. North Korea would never let them push the border at all without coming to full-scale war, which would bring about the fall of North Korea, which they would not want. yet, they could not simply let the US and South Korea push the border. Assuming that is mindboggling.
That makes no sense. Mongolia isn't land and power; it's several million more mouths to feed, more borders to patrol, more infrastructure to be invested in, and would only worsen the Inner Mongolia independence/ethnic tension problem; something China doesn't need more of. Also, the international community would strongly condemn such a move. There's nothing worth China's trouble and time in Mongolia.
Reference a map and find out.
And you didn't think to fix it?
Friendly advice: if two nations share a colour that is too close together, it's probably a good idea to change that colour.
Yeah, no. Not at all the case.
Besides, if that's your logic, why not just have America and Canada join together.

So Iran is best buddies with Iraq (where they've promoted sectarian conflict), the Gulf Monarchies (Sunni government, Shi'a people), Saudi Arabia (pretty much a cold war between them atm), and Egypt (other major power they don't get along with), Syria's kissed and made up with Iraq and Jordan, Egypt's accepted the Sudanese border as true and then joined hands with them, and Algeria, Morocco and Western Sahara are dancing through the flower fields despite the fact that Western Sahara sees Morocco as an occupying power, Morocco views the Western Saharan government as illegal and Algeria provides refuge for the Western Sharans because they've got other disputes with Morocco futher North?
Despite what the American media might imply, the Middle East is about as full of complicated political divisions as Africa.
u frogot albania and turkey (lol chicken!). they r good moslims because nato to fite against russia and putin!!!!11
Not but seriously, that's one of the worst maps I have ever seen.
Fixed up the map from New York, New York.
The world in 2012. The major world economic powers are the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, Japan, Korea, the German Empire, New York, and California. The major alliances are the Grand Alliance (UK, Germany, Italy, New York, New England, California, Texas, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), the Communist International (Soviet Union, Mongolia, Manchuria, People's Republic of China, Korea, East Turkestan, Tuvan People's Republic, Afghanistan, South Yemen, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and Cuba). The United States, France, Spain, Austria, Japan, Mexico, Republic of China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, India all form the International Alliance of Democratic Nations (IADN), a third way alliance that is somewhat nationalist, and of the three major alliances in the world are the most controversial.

I would highly recommend increasing your geographical knowledge of the world before making a world map.
Is it ? Blimey.
Mind you in the modern era nobody actually needs to invade to secure that

And that is why China doesn't. They simply buy them all out. Mongolia benefits from it.
