You know what would be cool? A world map of all history. So you have something like Google maps where you can change the slider chronologically and little details would change on the map like events and borders. Too many side projects to make something like that rn, but I'll put it in the ideas book.

You can sorta do this with some historical Paradox Interactive games, most notably Europa Universalis 4. You can change the start date from 1444 to 1821 and the world map's borders will update correspondingly. It's not perfect because regions are separated into nodes that don't perfectly portray borders in reality, but it's still really neat to check out. Crusader Kings 2/3 has earlier start dates, but only at certain bookmarks (but it is a good way to find out how fucking prolific the Carolingian dynasty was at its peak.) Hearts of Iron 4 is a good way to see the geopolitical situation a few years before the outbreak of WW2 and see the big moves Hitler made before WW2.
