I think after WWII, Malaysia and Indonesia are merged as a dominion, but then in the 80's, a civil war happens and Indonesia becomes the communist nation of Nusantara in the early 90's.

On one hand I can see how that (the dominion bit) can work, on the other hand I don't see how they managed to convince the Indonesians to go along with it.

Wonderful work, but one teensy tiny error- Southern Ireland consists of 25 counties in this timeline, not 26. The extra county attached to Northern Ireland is not mentioned by name, but I think it's safe to assume it's Donegal.

Huh. Sorry if this is off-topic (maybe continue it in a DM?), but could you elaborate a little on that, maybe provide further reading? I can see the appeal of Just-in-time, no need to stockpile large amounts of material in a warehouse you might not even end up needing.

A map of the World on the Brink.
A quick note on China and the Civil War: Since the Chinese Civil War/Second Sino-Japanese War/Chinese Front of the World Antifascist Struggle is currently still under development, as well as the... generally messy nature of the conflict, the lines of control I've cobbled together from OTL warlord maps and the Changsha update should be considered to be entirely provisional. I wouldnt be surprised if they are contradicted in a few updates, and I will likely revise them as more information is released.
You seem to have mislabeled Uruguay. The color you have next to it is on Paraguay.
Also, does Paraguay control the Chaco region? The last it was mentioned, the Chaco was demilitarized and a revenue-sharing arrangement was put in place, but if no territory was transferred then it should still be part of Bolivia.

Where does Sweden fall after WW2? I've always liked the band Sabaton and kind of wonder what kind of songs they, and others, would create in the Reds! verse.

IIRC, they're pro-FBU, they seem to just surrender to the British when the war in Russia turns against the Germans.

Am I a bad socialist for thinking that looks kind of cool, and probably surprisingly practical because their entire Parliament could have apartments and office space in the same building where they assemble to vote on stuff and there's probably room for most of the ministries to have their head offices there as well?For now, imagine that the lighthouse looks similar to this, but even more obnoxiously opulent.

As far as it goes, there does seem to be a degree to which oppositional parties (as opposed to major factions within the main party, which we've been told exist without necessarily breaking off into an entirely separate party) are not all that significant.
But it's not surprising that they're not that significant and haven't really caught on electorally in a system where a wide variety of public goods are provided to all people free of any charge and your argument is, "You should have to pay for those" or the meaningful but not exactly inspiring, "We should be careful and gradual in any further reforms beyond where we are now."

I assume this is portrayed in Comintern media as the lair of a supervillain cabal?

Which ethnicities would those be? Would the Welsh and Scottish get seats, or would they be included as "British?" I'm assuming that groups like the Bretons in France would also get representation.

Note, to clarify, this sorta tactic isn't a special communist thing. SocDems can disarm further pushes left in the short and medium terms by doing things like Providing Free Healthcare, and the Tories worked hard to atomize workers and make them all small-household-owning NIMBYs (at the expense of most people, but they don't care.)
Acting to defuse your opponent's ability to bitch about the status quo and have voters buy it is just politics. It's just that literally providing the communalization of most if not all needs is just... hella effective if it can be maintained long enough to become just expected.

It'd likely be rightfully portrayed as a monument to hubris: in design, function, opulence, construction, and all the corruption involved.
Edit: I should add that the image I posted as like the basis is of the Abraj Kudai in Mecca. Currently under construction, it's opulent, and especially profane given that it's overlooking one of the holiest sites in Islam. Hence, that's the new Lighthouse of Alexandria: built like a Vegas hotel, and just over-the-top opulent to the point that you can unite the world across the entire political compass meme with the sheer hatred towards this building.
