Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate of England, Scotland, and Ireland appears in your fantasy setting, complete with the New Model Army at its disposal.
How does the Protectorate fair against your fictional nations? How does its appearance alter the geopolitical realities of your world?

You, are approached by a group of angry clergy members, seemingless at the fringes of your fief has a witch laid her home and proceeds to heal the locals, murder bandits, sell various totems and baubles, give peasants contracts to higher forces and refusing to pay taxes!As you hear the last part your anger can not contain itself as you tell your man-at-arms to bring you this witch so you can execute her befor your estate. Nervously and with a bad feeling your man march out, the Captain of the guards voicing his concerns if this is a good idea, only to be shut down by you as NOBODY gets to avoid taxation in your fief!Your man-in-arms return a 5 days later, the witch not in chain, not beaten, not gagged nore anything, your soldiers even had the audacity to just lead her straight into your halls!The Witch but makes a hand motion, you feel your mouth sewing shut as she declares your fief and it´s people as hopeless for not having taken down such a big pile of shit years ago. You hear your wife, a cousine of yours given by your grandfather, scream in agony as the witch holds a hand out to her. Her chest errupts in gore as your wifes heart flys straight into her hands. The sky darkens as she calls upon a curse, plunging your city into darkness, hordes of flys start to invade your town, the weapons of your man falling to rust and decay while they too start to scream. They become mad and begin to slaughter roughly half of their own befor they run out to the streets to rape and murder the locals.She eyes you and rips your heart out too, just as you find your life slipping away do you see her almost swallow your heart befor she shakes her head, instead raming a thorn into it and forcing it back into your chest. Thorns and briar grow out off your skin in agony as they tie you to your throne permanently, making you now the Cursed Lord of this new dark domain.The witch flys away while your land falls to chaos and madness.Such arrogance my Lord.

Cromwell army is nothing without the backing of their Jewish financiers from continental Europe. (In 1290 Edward Longshanks signed the Edict of Expulsion banning Jews from England, in the ECW they completely funded Cromwells war effort against the traditionalist system in exchange for being allowed to re-enter England. Shortly after the English Civil War and the Royalist defeat, the newly reinstated Jews created the Bank of England, the beginning of the central banking system which exists to this very day)

They are more powerful due to gunpowder. But did Cromwell really wage any wars?

If it popped up in the ocean, I think it might actually be close enough that GB could be spotted from either shore. Any ships attempting to leave would immediately we swept away by the current and almost certainly fall off the edge of the world, but explorers from other lands would find the protectorate almost immediately. Once it had been established that the anglos worship a completely impotent idol, there would be a crusade to end all crusades as faithful from all over the world flock to violently convert the newcomers to score brownie points for the afterlife. The new model army would find the locals to be on a comparable technological level to themselves, while also fielding wizards, bullet-proof warriors, summoned "demons" and war-trained monsters of all kinds.

They lack magic but are a good 100-150 years ahead in firearms technology, and have more advanced fleets than the best sailors in my setting. It will depend on where they spawn, but after they figure out what happened and where they are they would likely become a relevant power in their region. I don't know if they would try conquering anywhere, since Cromwell was very internally-focused.

Not very well because he'd be stuck in a desert full of desert creatures and a giant ball of plasma called the sun. The English famously don't do well in the sun.Source? Me, because the sun is a bitch ass mother fucker and I hate him

(1) The sudden appearance of an existential threat spurs the Neo-Atlanteans into action, where they are going to be able to consistently outmaneuver the navy (though they'd have inferior range for gunnery). Actual artillery would pose a danger to the field armies of the setting, but all major nations field some sort of flying creature corps, which would be able to attack and harass them from the air.(2) This setting has revolvers, breach loading rifles, armored warships, and breach loading artillery (all in early stages, though). It's not a fair fight.

Not very well. The Jewish God isn't real in the setting and they're already late 16th tech wise while also having magic so the Bongoloids would have slightly better technology soon snatched from the hands of dead men.

Staunch nationalists will always claim regional identities don't exist. They do the same in Spain despite the country having different languages and cultures.

My game is actually set in a pseudo-historical version of sub-Roman Britain, where Ireland was split off as a result of a giant's curse. The setting is influenced by the works of Poul Anderson, with Faerie being its own overlapping dimension, with an ongoing war between the forces of Law (man and human-adjacent) and Chaos (Faerie and paynim), so a Puritan Commonwealth led by the fervently zealous Cromwell overlapping my version of Britain would actually tilt the scales in Law's favor, as belief in the One is anathematic to the forces of pagan Faerie and its paynim allies.

Due to having better firearms than my vaguely 1500's era setting, they stand a chance at all, but the rest of the world catches up pretty soon. Magecraft + equal firearms and they're fucked.They'd probably end up like North Korea but without the nukes. Or any way of defending their country really.

My setting did not stay locked in medieval stasis.So Cromwell and his ilk aren't going to fair super well. They're showing up late, with outdated tech.The sole thing that's going to keep them safe is that the world they're in has soured on outright colonialsim. However, they will basically wind up in someone's sphere of influence as a puppet state. This is not a question of "if", it's a question of "who."

I want his head for a battle standard desu.
He should be there when we storm Parliament.Then we should re-bury him in Westminster, after yeeting The Queen's bones into the river to make room.
