I might mod my Cascadia setting a little on this Map, But other then that. I kind of like it.
He did mention in one of this comments section about posable modifying it again to represent a conflict between MENA and Union Block over Rhode Island.
These are the writings from the creators page.
These Divided States..
THE UNTHINKABLE HAS HAPPENED These United States, has balkanized beyond recognition. Either by some circumstance, by war, disagreement, or peaceful means, new national entities are carved up through unique situations, allying with some or in conflict with others.
The 31-state United States of America is still a viable regional power, but a far cry from the superpower and cultural hegemony of it's predecessor, bearing a dim resemblance in name and flag only. The Divided States of America is a staple in alternate and speculative history, though there have been dangerously close calls.
The states that were once the US of A, in spite of the circumstances of breaking up, declare themselves the successor to it, it's values, influence and culture. Yes, even their constitution and regional partitions are modeled after their Federal father, albeit with a twist.
With regards to the nature of relationships between the "children of America", there are three power blocs or alliances that constitute these relationships; the Union Bloc, The Southern Alliance and the Pacific Social Democratic Cooperation.
The Union bloc, led by Washington DC, favors mutual cooperation between them and the territories that they 'let go'. The Southern Alliance is an on-again, off-again agreement between the conservative CSA and New Africa. We can say they are vitriolic best buds. The PSDC led by California, aims to promote, develop and innovate ideas of liberalism, socialism and social democracy.
Conflicts do arise in these divided states. For one, Texas and Aztlan cannot agree on the control of West Texas, while Deseret is in open conflict with Cascadia over a part of former Idaho.
UPDATE:
- Designed new flags for Aztlan and New York.
- named their sub-national entities.
(June 13, 2016) - New flags. :<
(March 25, 2018) - added a buffer state; Aniyunwiya. Also, the New Californian Republic has seceded (with the help of Deseret, the USA and the CSA), only leaving the Peoples Republic of California with a sliver of the coastal area, devastated and prime real estate for a North Korean-style system instead of a Chinese-style socialist republic.
And in a little part of north Indiana forms the Jackson Republic. Formed from people weary from division and war, they turn to their only comfort they can hold on to and rally under. And for these people it's Michael Jackson. The populace of this republic believe that the Prophet Michael will return in glory and hold on to his message through his songs.
In their eyes, with all the conflict and poverty resulting from division they know they are not alone. They have to care about the living by starting with the man in the mirror. Making a little space, they are saving their own lives to make the world a better place, whether black or white, for you and for me. The message couldn't be any clearer.
Northern California was traded for what's left of Oregon in a treaty.
