A project I have been working on these past few days, Czechosudetia is based off information from an alternate history book I got for Christmas (the information is actually OTL). There were several suggestions for the regional division of Czechoslovakia, one of them gave autonomous regions to the Germans. In the end, this was discarded for dividing the country by historical lands. Czechia, Moravia-Silesia, Slovakia and Ruthenia. Meanwhile you had two major raging problems. The Germans suddenly became a minority which, after centuries of being the major nationality did not sit well with their mindset and they regretted not being a, as we call it "státotvorný národ", nationality which formed the core of the new country like the Czechs and Slovaks. Meanwhile, the Slovaks were dissatisfied by the slow progress of decentralizing powers from Prague and while the Hlinka's Party (which later collaborated with the Nazis) was for more autonomy, there were two more sides. There was a part of the populace which believed that Slovakia should rejoin Hungary in a federal union while a part opted for integration into Poland. In OTL, Hlinka's party recieved almost 50% of the votes at one point . . . but what if?What if the regional division of Czechoslovakia, that was chosen in the end, was the nationality-based division? The Czech lands would be divided in such a way that the Germans would have a greater say in the running of the state. Naturally the Slovaks would feel more threatened, loosing their position as the major nationality of the state and falling to third place, and would see this as the Czechs going back on their word of a Czechoslovak state. The Hilnka's Party wins the Slovak elections in a landslide victory and after a few years, Slovakia officially secedes from Czechoslovakia. But what then? The Hungarian-oriented citizens clash in elections with the Polish-oriented side with the Hilnka-backers laying about to both sides resulting in a bloody Slovak civil war or the War in the Tatras. The state splits into three with the northeastern lands joining Poland, Subcarpathian Ruthenian and the Hungarian southalnds joining Hungary and a hardcore-nationalistic rump Slovak state centered around the southwestern lowlands and running up along the border with Czechia to Zilina.Meanwhile in Czechia, as the Germans rise to second place, they clamor for a position similar to the Slovaks and though the rights of Czechs and Germans were equal (In OTL too. The contrary was Nazi propaganda) they demanded the status of a core nationality. This they got through a semi-federalization. Czechosudetia cannot truly be called a unitary state but neither is it a federation. While each "state" meets in a parliament with devolved cultural, educational and minor economic powers, most of the decision-making is held in Prague where the upper chamber of the parliament consists of a 50/50 devided chamber between Germans and Czechs. Bohemia and Moravia send delegates into the Czech half while Sudetenland, Deutshbohmen and Niederbohmen send delegates to the German side. The seats in the lower chamber are divided proportionately to the population and gets candidates from the minor regions or "Župas" regardless of nationality.As to the coat of arms, it is quartered with two Bohemian lions, a Sudetan eagle and a Moravian eagle. It's topped off by the Premyslid eagle to symbolize the harmony between the Czechs and Germans in this new state and it's descendance from the Bohemia of old.For those of you who are about to ask, no the flag is NOT that of the German empire, yes the arms are based off the protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia and yes the numbers in the chart are accurate (dated to 1930 I think) and lastly yes, the territory in the smaller map DOES correspond to the living areas populated by the Germans where I only left out the exclaves and instead was quite generous in allocating land to the actual states themselves. If anybody asks these question, they can expect the middle finger from meAs to the languages I chose, knowing Anglophones, they will use the German names for the German states while retaining "Bohemia" and "Moravia" for the Czech ones -_- So I at least took the liberty of marking the cities in the correct languages.CREDITS:Lion, eagle and shield shape are edited from Wikimedia commons - LINK Please excuse the exporting errors on the Moravian eagle, I've been tinkering with it for over an hour now, trying to eradicate them (not the Germans) but with only limited success.
