Gender map of Europe in my alt history (1848-current)
- Finland🇫🇮 is represented with the transgender flag during the Cold War before showing the transmasc flag on present day. That's because Finland has always been very masculine and desired to be a male although being born as a female tho it still wanted to be referred to as she because he thought he was mentally ill or something and was kinda afraid. Fortunately, he was able to transition during the 1980's
- I used the United States of Greater Austria🇦🇹 flag instead of any color as a way of showing how unique the Habsburg-ruled Monarchy is. That's because it's the only country in this AU that's actually hermaphroditic, and doesn't care about its pronouns (he doesn't mind being he or she). This is because he is the result of the union between Cisleithania♂️ (Austria) and Transleithania♀️ (Hungary).
- The Holy See🇻🇦 was given back independence after WW2, as reparation for the prosecution by the Communist government of Italy against the Catholic Church. She's a female because it is obviously ruled by the Catholic Church, which is the "Wife of Christ", according to the Scripture, and so, technically a woman. And because it would be so fucking funny.
- As the Cold War came to an end and the German Empire was defeated, both Bavaria and Belgium broke ties with the Kingdom of Prussia and became independent monarchies.
