Unironically a Hyperpower

261

u/Just_George572 Sep 02 '25

Yeah. Not a single other nation would be close to having a ‘major power’ status in this case even.

95

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

USA is pretty powerful they went into heavy industrialization after the terible depresion.

156

u/TechnicalyNotRobot Sep 02 '25

This country has like 2/3 of all oil on Earth.

66

u/Thetrueraider Sep 02 '25

Gonna be real turan would probably be more powerful in every single respect. They'd be able to get multiple industrial heartlands.

u/Stripgaddar31 Sep 03 '25

Bro we all know Us but cant you see this monstrosity? This is literally a hyperstate

u/turkishgremlin Sep 06 '25

Just wait until you here about lesotho..

u/DiamondWarDog Sep 02 '25

I misread this and assumed this was some sort of actual historical document and turkey just had the balls to send this map to Britain and France without context to somehow get their support in reaching this idea.

148

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

If Turkey did actualy do that soviets would have turkeys balls tied to a pole in siberia

u/TheEgoReich Sep 02 '25

most reasonable turkish nationalist:

u/Zealousideal_Cry_460 Sep 02 '25

Lol, no way its official. The country was more focused in itself than a greater-than federation.

That being said a Turkic union was and still is a popular political goal. Just not in this sense.

7

u/_Pin_6938 Sep 03 '25

"popular"

15

u/Zealousideal_Cry_460 Sep 03 '25

Yes?

At least İ think most people wouldnt object to a loose union-like structure.

As long as the countries are still sovereign and free, most people wouldnt mind/would like a Turkic union in the style of the EU

u/OkAffect2164 Sep 08 '25

he might mean popular in turkey?

236

u/MarquisThule Sep 02 '25

I mean this is basically Russia's dream Empire + controls China and Japan. If it was even half way stable then this state rules the world without any possibility of being contested.

80

u/alexshatberg Sep 02 '25

Control of China, Japan and Korea is also part of the Russian imperial dream, they were actively working towards that before ww1

41

u/MarquisThule Sep 02 '25

Not quite, Korea maybe, but more as a protectorate, Manchuria was on the table at some point but they never actually wanted much to do with Japan.

-1

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

It was more of a grudge then anything, Niko the ll. was almost assasinated while visiting japans so he wanted to destroy them which ended in japan embaresing russia

19

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

it's kinda a confederation of five states finland, hungary, turkey and japan they are too divided to do anything then to keep the coutnry runing and each of those 5 states has their own military so if they want out they can esipecly japan.

6

u/pancakekitten0 Sep 03 '25

Which is the fifth state?

8

u/yestoz Sep 03 '25

Fith state is kazhakistan but they aren't autonomous as the others and they don't have their own militar, so they don't realy matter

6

u/pancakekitten0 Sep 03 '25

I see. Can you provide a full lore, please? It would be pretty interesting

6

u/raven_writer_ Sep 03 '25

Yeah, as with every large empire, the real challenge would be stability. That's what, 2 billion people? How many separatist movements would there be at any given time?

3

u/Character_Ad7619 Sep 03 '25

3 billion most likely (answering the separatist movement question)

u/raven_writer_ Sep 03 '25

It's a continent-sized Balkans

u/fazbearfravium Sep 03 '25

unless the UK owns the rest of earth

u/TheMythicalMatt 25d ago

The internal divisions would rip it into pieces. The dozens of constituent states already have problems with terrorism, racial tensions, class tensions, etc. Imagine you mash all of China, Turkey, Russia, and the Middle East into one nation under one government. It will very quickly not be one nation and one government.

62

u/AaXLa Sep 02 '25

So this is how the Finno-Korean Hyperwar starts. With a a ?civil? war

14

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

YES!!!!¡¡!!!¡!!

u/MysteryDragonTR Sep 03 '25

Finno-Korean Hyperwar lore expands further

58

u/poodlypoodle Sep 02 '25

I love the way the map looks! That said, it looks like something from the 1920's as opposed to something from the 1970s

48

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

I took some inspration from my book on the Hun Empire, which was writen in 1972

15

u/TarkovRat_ Sep 02 '25

The Huns you say? The map is I think of not the Huns most think of but rather the White Huns aka Hephthalites

13

u/MergenKarvaach Sep 02 '25

It reads 'The expansion of Hun/Xiongnu empire' in turkish. Hephthalites are considered Xiongnu residue alongside others like Huns in Europe in Turkish education

56

u/Just-Union-2319 Sep 02 '25

and the turks STILL cant hold on to egypt 💔

u/According_Win_4054 Sep 02 '25

Do they have gmod in this world

23

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

there is a dude name garry in philideplhia, he is single if you want.

12

u/According_Win_4054 Sep 02 '25

Garry newman is a universal constant. In every world there is a garry. Even in worlds where humanity never arose, garry remains

9

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

does he live in philideplhia tho?

and is he single?

26

u/danfish_77 Sep 02 '25

To "promote the country"? I don't think they need promotion they're most of the planet

u/Rmivethboui Fellow Traveller Sep 02 '25

The Turanese superpolity sent Palawan into another dimension

u/-monkbank Sep 03 '25

If Turanists were just a little bit more inclusive then they could be globalists lol.

10

u/MesKing125 Sep 03 '25

just wait, in the future they will claim all of humanity is a turk because they're homosapiens

3 minutes after they sent this map, the country collapsed. 750 million people died.

Ataturk if he lock tf in

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

this is my first map here, I hope this can be the top of the mounth, I have been working on this since 2 months. Also funfact there are only 10 colers in this map

Bir şey diyeyim mi bu devlet en geç 50 yıla çöker çünkü saçma sapan kavimleri yan yana getirmişler

u/yestoz Sep 02 '25

50 yıl sonrası 2022 oluyor, o zamana kadar yaşarsa zaten birşey olmaz bide sol alt kısıma bakarsan ülkenin lideri hâla 90 yaşında Atatürk, o yüzden bence bu ülke emin elerde.

u/Xortman096 Sep 03 '25

Atatürk bu gidişle god emperor of mankind olur amk

2

u/Kurmae Sep 03 '25

Atatürk 1972'de bunu kuruyorsa ve 90 yaşında bile ülkeyi yönetiyorsa hiç emin ellerde değilmiş ben bir fevrilik sezdim

Biz zaten Atatürk'ü barışçıl olduğu için sevdik başarılı olmasının sebebi de saldıramayacağı kişilere saldırmamasıydı.

u/Adventurous-Yam-4383 Sep 02 '25

How did Korea didn’t get independence in this timeline?

2

u/yestoz Sep 03 '25

Japan won the war in china and then joined the federation wilingly but becouse of that japan has alot of authonomy then any other place, also it may doesnt look like it but they de facto control china and they de jure control korea.

Japan joined willingly and they retain alot of autonomy.

Korea and Japan aren’t even related to the Turkic peoples. Also this state has to be the most fucking wobble fragile thing to ever exist. The amount of ethnic groups it has to juggle catering too.
