As I have said in the introduction, the Europeans are no longer humans. Chaulk it up to magic bullshit that they are no longer humans, like when Twilight travelled through the mirror and she switched species. Just don't look too deep into it, aight?






Predominantly Ponies





 Spain

 Portugal

 Southern Italy

 Acquitaine (Southern France)

 Poland (Huh? Where'd they go?)

 Slovak

 Hungary

 Greece

 India (Their entire continent is gone, but those hired by the British came with them. This includes slaves indentured servants 'labourers' and soldiers)

 Wales




Predominantly Griffons:






 Norway

 Danmark

 Sweden

 Finland (Part of Russia during 1888)

 Iceland

 Germany 

 Austrian parts of Austria-Hungary

 Normandy (Northern France)

 Scotland




Mix between Griffons and Ponies





 France (As a whole)

 Great Britain

 Northern Italy

 Ireland

 Scotland

 Russia 

 Czech

 Netherland

 Northern France Southern Netherland Roadbump Belgium




Predominantly Kirins





 Balkans (oh yea yea) I consider Hungarians Balkan. I am not sorry.




Predominantly Zebras





 Algerians (French Foreign Legionaries)

 Tunisians (Read above)

 Morrocans (Read)





Predominantly Dragons





 Switzerland (I know their banking sector hasn't boomed to its full extent yet and their reputation for money-hoarding will be established during WW2 and beyond, but come on, let me have some fun.)

 Nepal (I want dragon Gurkhas. Sue me.)



If you think any of the choices are racist, take it up with Hasbros.





Don't think too hard about these choices.

Also, a tidbit, basically every European nation is gonna be broke at the start since their trade is gone, there are no colonies to exploit and stocks tend to devalue when everyone's species changes overnight. Also since their common economic model of mercantilism went down the shitter. 

Finally, not all griffons are gonna be the same. The Nord will be mostly comprised of eagle-lions and the griffons outside the region will have their bird parts mellow out into more peaceable kinds like a dove or a pigeon depending on distance. 

Here's the map again if you didn't bother to click the one of the intro page:


I'm probably wrong on the scaling but whatever. Look at the map with a grain of salt. Preferably in the eyehole.

Interestingly, since the Europeans came into their new planet inverted, their sense of directions will be inverted too. This means that they will draw their maps in a way that makes their lands look 'familiar,' eventually meaning everyone's west would mean the European's east, and vice versa.




Battles depicted within the story will usually be accompanied by a strategic map. (unless I'm lazy) so it can supplement my shitty writing skills in immersing you into the scene. Here's a key for such maps:







Here is an example of how I'll be illustrating my battles:



Pretty self-explanatory right? Also, if you think the amount of rocket artillery in the above battle is an overkill, I'll spit on you. (Also it seems like I made a mistake, but I won't admit where. Also, I'm too lazy to fix it.)
