Country; Confederate States of America
Leader: Adm. Colin Powell [why not] Highest ranking Negro officer in the CSN. Become leader by default due to control of CS Pacific Fleet.
Part ISOTED San Diego Strip. & western Arizona Following the CSA Victory in the Civil War, the CSA bought, from the Pacific Republic, a strip 50 miles wide, along the Mexican Border .
National Flag : Stars and Bars, 2 red, 1 white, with 7 stars in a circle on a blue field. Battle flag/Ensign: red flag with a blue X, with 21 stars.
Military: San Diego was the Home Base of the CSN Pacific Fleet. As such four Aircraft carrier groups**, one Battleship group, and two heavy Cruiser groups, and 38 Submersible's. twenty nine of these were short range Coastal craft, the other Nine were long range ocean Ships. There were other Ships and Planes but they were left behind. Also ISOTed was the Naval Base with the Air Station [with Planes] & the Marine Base [with state of the art Heavy and Lite weapons]. This TL never developed Jets, so the aircraft are , Carbon/Titanium with State of the Art unducted fan propellers. Most of the Shore Based interceptors are Electric. Due to Helium being a by product of the Cold Fusion Desaltation process. The CSN also had six Rigid Airships used for Coastal Patrols. [think Coast Guard here]. but 2 of them were out of range of the ISOTing force.
Industry: Military/Government With Port/Transportation a close second.
Population: 20 Million with 8 million in San Diego, 2 Million in Phoenix, and 1.5 in Tucson
Country: Pacific Republic
Leader: Jerome Brown ,Governor of California
Part ISOTed: California, Most of Nevada, and a sliver of Utah [US]
National Flag: Great Bear Flag
Population: ISOTed- 45 million, 11 million in San Francisco/Oakland, 150.000 in Los Angles [2nd largest city ISOTed.
Military: San Francisco was the PR's second largest navy base with 5 Carrier Groups, 3 Battle ship groups. 5 Heavy Cruiser Groups, along with assorted other ships from light Cruisers & Destroyers, to Coastal patrol, subs, Yachts & Tugs. {plus Marines}. There is a standing Army of 175.000 Men, mostly Officers, & NCOs. They are trained to assume command of the various State Militias [think National Guard merged with Active Reserve], In Cause of War the PR could field up to 6 Million men with in weeks. There is a Coast Guard with over 5 dozen Dirigibles, and numerous Cutters, & etc.
There is also a Standing Air Force of 75.000, once again trained to take command. The PR also has Modern Equipment stored in Hardened armories & Hangers near population centers around the State.
Country: Empire of Mexico
Leader: General Prince Juan Perrie Maximilian, Third Son of Emperor Maximilian VII. Commander of the Tijuana Military Base.
National Flag: three vertical bars, red white, & blue, with the Imperial Seal in the middle, and the Words [Union of Mexico] in a circle around it
Part ISOTed: Chihuahua & Baja Norte,& Baja de Sud
Military: Tijuana was the Imperial's Northern military Base, But with Several others at various cities south to Honduras. The Naval part wasn't as big as the CSN next door. It had a Small Army Base of 125 thousand Men, and a Naval base with 2 Aircraft Carriers Groups, and 4 Heavy Cruiser Groups, along with various smaller ships, and Twenty Submersible's, only five of them Ocean Class.
Industry: Heavy Industry, Electric Tools & Dies with the area along the Diego strip being Mexico's Silicon Strip. There is Extensive Farming in the Baja's with marijuana [never outlawed] Plantions being the big Money maker. [Think Virginia Tobacco here]
Population: 30 million with 6 million in Tijuana, & 4 million in Melicali.
** Due to the Size requirement of the Cold Fusion Power Plants, the Carriers are OTL USS Enterprise super carrier Size, they are usually accomplied by 2 heavy Cruisers, 4 light Cruisers, 8 Destroyers & 3 Hunter-Killer Subs running off the Carriers Transmitter. Since we are talking WW2 sized warbirds, whe have 400 planes, along with Helicopters [Gunship, Assault {most carriers carry several companies of Marines}, & Rescue].
History: In sept 1862, Lee's Forces were on the way to capture the Union Garrison and Armory at Harpers Ferry. On sept 12th General Meade received a "lost Order" detailing Lee's plans. Due to this Meade split his force sending 12,000 men under Generals Franklin . & ??? up the Middletown Valley to cross over South Mountain at Crampton & Cumberland Gaps . General Stuart surveyed the passes and sent a extra brigades to reinforce , along with a Calvary troop, On the morning of the 14th General Franklin with 8000 soldiers attacked the 1200 defenders, by late afternoon he broke thru splitting the Confederate forces and forcing Lee to fall back on the Anteim Creek,
ITTL when Richerson sees the number of Union forces he sends a messenger asking for additional reinforcements, Longstreet wheels his army in position while Franklin is regrouping. When Franklin sends his troops forward again the lead units as lead by a green Captain, the Units commander, Major Rutherford B Hayes, having been killed earlier. As such Franklin's forces enter the Trap. Longstreet's Artillery opens up, routing the Union Forces. Sending Stuart's & Hampton's Calvary to pursuit, Longstreet again wheels, this time thru the Middletown valley. On the morning of the 15th Meade finds his army trapped between Lee's and Longstreet's. The ensuing Battle of Sharpsburg is the Bloodiest day of battle in the History of the Country. By the evening with thousands of his troops killed, Meade asks for terms, and on the morning of the 16th sept 1862 at Sharpsburg Courthouse, General Meade surrenders the Army of the Potomac. Of course this wasn't the end of Fighting, But Politically it was the End of the War. In the 1862 Elections, the Peace Candidates took over the House, and the war ended in early 1863. Also in 1863 Emperor Maximilian's forces captured the rebel Jaunito Daiz and his main ringleaders, taking the steam out of the Mexican Rebellion.
In 1865 the States of California, Washington, & Oregon left the Union forming the Pacific Republic. In 1905 British Columbia decided against joining The Dominion of Canada, instead choosing to stay with their Pacific Friends. Then again in 1912 during the Great War, The Czar needing Money for the war, Sold Alaska to the Neutral Republic.
Following the Civil War and the Mexican Rebellion, There were hard feelings between the Countries. but time and Economic Forces lead to a drawing together. The Confederates started a slow process of emancipation in 1872. Mexico & the Pacific Republic joined the US, & the CS, in the race to Industrialize, With Labor/Capital strife replacing Land Reform/Labor, as the problem of the Time.
When Japan anexxed Hawaii in 1892, and the Philippines in 1895, all four Countries joined in Protest. In 1911 when the Great War Started all Four Countries declared Neutrality, and then all four joined together in entering in 1913. Then in 1916 after the War they all Joined to form along with Canada the NAFTZ [ North America Free Trade Zone] .
Technology: Alumiun Smelting was developed in the late 1880's, and by the mid 1890's several new alloys were produced. One of these Nickumiun, was as strong as steel but only 1/3 the weight. this allowed the production of very powerful light weight small Steam Engines. The first Dirigible was Flown in France in 1899, with a Paris/London flight only two years later. By the time of the Great War in 1911, there were several Airship Companies offering passenger service in Europe and North America. By the end of the Great War in 1915 Both sides were producing Fiberglass/Aluimuin Skinned airships. In 1916 the first TransAtlantic Passenger service started, and the race was on to find new and better materials. Modern Dirigibles are made of the same Carbon fiber/ Titanium as most Aircraft.
In 1924 Nicklaus Tesla Exploring a problem with very high voltage Radio Transmissions, developed a practical & safe means of broadcasting power. The first Sets were huge with hundreds of very large tubes. but over time the size began dropping. with the invention of the Transformer in the 1940's, the Mini-circuit in the 50's, & the micro circuit Board in the 70's, the receiver size dropped small enough to fit into Passenger Cars. thro it is still to big to fit into Household appliances.
In 1959 Bell Laboratory's announced the discovery of A Cold Fusion Energy System, a by product of Superconductor research, Cold Fusion works best at very low temperatures, and very large Containers, Over the last several decades new Materials for Superconductors have allowed the reduction in size such that large Vessels like Aircraft Carriers, BB's, down to the newest Destroyers, are equipped, with them.
As the size of the powers receivers precluded Private ownership a Extensive system of Public transport, from electric freight, & Mag-Lev Passenger Trains, down to Electric Trollies, & Buses Developed. As such there never was a need for Interstates Hiways.
Due to the earlier invention of the Transister the Computer industry is about 15 Years ahead of OTL, with more attention paid to Voice interfacing, and AI Systems.

NAME: Industrial States of America
CAPITAL: Chicago
POPULATION: 86,196,806 (2000 Census)
LEADER: President Hugh Rodham, Jr.
GOVERNMENT: Republic
MILITARY:
I.S.A. Navy
-I.S.A. Navy
-I.S.A. Air Fleet
I.S.A. Army
Red Skull Legion Air Militia
(An elite air militia made up of the ISA's most elite pilots.)
National Guard
TECHNOLOGY: Civilian: Early 1980s Military: Early 1990s. Zeppelin aircraft carriers are still the main war machine of the continent. The ISA's current zeppelins have SAM batteries to protect themselves, as well as radar guided AA, and are armed with cruise missiles. Flying out of them are the Harrier-like jets.
HISTORY:
After the crushing blows delivered by the Great War, the influenza epidemic of the 1920's, and the failure of Prohibition, the once-proud United States had collapsed. With the secession of Texas in 1930, states across North America quickly jumped off the sinking ship of Federalism. By 1936, the former United States and Dominion of Canada had solidified into 22 different nations. Among them was the Industrial States of America, based around the industrial centers of the Great Lakes, and its main rivals the Empire State, based in the former Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and the People's Collective, based in the former Breadbasket of the US and a Christian Socialist state. Various brushfire wars demolished the intercontinental railway system at national borders, and the few large highway systems built or under construction quickly fell into disrepair or were sabotaged. The automobile, once thought destined to become the national shipping vehicle, gave way to gyrotaxis, aerobuses and large cargo zeppelins that commanded the skylines and made trade possible between friendly nations. Taking advantage of the new situation and the ensuing chaos, groups of air pirates soon took to the air and began preying upon the new aerial shipping. Nearly out of the public eye, the 1930s also saw the beginning of the Unionist movement which dreams of a reunited North America and commits acts of terror against the various nations of the continent.
The ISA, though it had twice the industrial capacity of its closest two rivals put together, lacked access to markets as it was surrounded by enemies and rivals who made it anything but easy to get to markets. The Confederation of Dixie made up the majority of the ISA's continental market, but each individual state had its own fees for shipping. During the late 30s, the ISA grew closer to the Third Reich which lead to technological partnerships that included a business partnership between Messerschmitt and General Motors. When the War of Expansion broke out in Europe, France went down under the panzers and zeppelins of Germany and Britain found itself alone against Germany's seemingly unstoppable military. In North America, a similar situation broke out when the Empire State signed a mutual protection pact with the People's Collective in an effort to contain the ISA. With Europe distracted by war, however, the ISA launched an invasion of the People's Collective and after an extensive air campaign in which the Collective's star pilot, Aaron Whitaker, was killed by the Red Skull Legion, an ISA-backed air pirate band, and its limited industry smashed, the ISA occupied their territory and turned east against the Empire State. That war soon proved inconclusive as the air war pitted the ISA's massive industry against the Empire State's militias and 'volunteers' from across North America and even from Britain. When Germany finally defeated the Soviet Union in Europe and signed the Soviet-German Armistice, Britain followed suit and then brought its full attention on the ISA, threatening war from Ontario if a treaty wasn't signed. Sullenly, the ISA was forced to agree and the ISA's possession of the former People's Collective was confirmed.
In the post-war world, the ruthless leader of the Red Skull Legion, Jonathan 'Genghis' Khan, got himself elected President due to his exploits during the war and made his former pirate band the premier air militia of his chosen nation. He also cut the strings the country's businessmen and financiers held on the Presidency, which had made it largely a figurehead, and largely crushed the resistance in the former People's Collective, opening it up for development. The borders of North America continued to be rearranged as the century went on, with the Appalachia Partition that gave the ISA Kentucky. It also saw the ISA's most embarassing defeat in the Lakota War that saw the small Native American nation's successful guerrilla warfare against the overwhelming ISA forces that tried to push into the Disputed Western Territories that ended in a resumption of the status quo and ended the ISA's drive for acquiring territory.
Today, the ISA is the economic powerhouse of North America and faces alliances on its western and eastern borders. Relations with the Greater German Reich are cordial, including the merged international megacorporation of Messerschmitt-General Motors, or MGM, though National Socialism has made no footholds in the ISA. It's greatest ally in North America is the Confederation of Dixie, though Dixie has extensive economic and political connections with Britain and it still faces its traditional problems regarding access to markets for its goods and agriculture. Air travel has far more prestige than land travel and, instead of the suburban sprawls of OTL, urban areas instead grew upward. The ISA capital Chicago, along with such cities as Detroit, Cleveland, Toledo, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, are dominated by skyscrapers that, instead of the flat helipad tops of OTL, have spires reminsicent of the Empire State Building in the Art-Deco 30s style and more modern steel and glass that serve as mooring towers for civilian and military zeppelins and have landing pads for helitaxis and aerobuses, some even having trams that run between buildings. Air pirates are still a threat, though not as much of one as in the chaotic days of the 1930s, and the Unionist terrorist organization is alive and continuing its terror attacks throughout North America.

NAME: Kingdom of Hispaniola
CAPITAL: Malone City
POPULATION: 23,000,000
LEADER: King Carlos III / Prime Minister Albert Vasquez
GOVERNMENT:Constitutional Monarchy
MILITARY:
Royal Hispaniolan Army: 28,000 personnel
Royal Hispaniolan Navy: 79,000 personnel
Royal Hispaniolan Aerocorps: 22,000 personnel
HISTORY:
This timeline diverged from ours due to the survival of two men who died in OTL. The first was an English pirate named Andrew Malone, who in OTL died stillborn. He served as a sort of 'privateer general' for Spain, decimating British shipping and trade in the Caribbean and mid-Atlantic in the early 1700s, precipitating an economic crisis in Britain, and war between Britain and Spain. The second man was William, Duke of Gloucester, who lived past his death in OTL at age 11, and grew up a fierce proponent of British naval power and expansion. He, along with the Duke of Marlborough, was responsible for inciting Queen Anne to declare war on Spain.
The war ended in defeat for Britain in 1711; Spain, thanks to Malone's efforts, had built up an uncontestable power base in the Caribbean, and when France came into the war on Spain's side, it spelled doom for Britain. Malone was created Duke of Hispaniola by King Phillip V; he ruled the island until his death in 1752. With virtually no piracy and uncontested Spanish power in the region, Malone was given unprecedented slack; he abolished slavery on 'his' island (1735), instituted a fair and impartial legal system (1741), and abolished the Spanish peonage system (1746). Many people were unhappy with Malone's reforms, but no one could argue the fact that Hispaniola enjoyed a higher standard of living than Spain herself.
All Spanish possessions in the Caribbean were eventually united as the Viceroyalty of Hispaniola in 1778, administered from the city of San Domingo. The islands received their independence in 1804, with, ironically, British aid. The citizens briefly considered joining the British Dominion of Virginia, but ultimately decided on the formation of their own nation. Adrew Malone's grandson became King Carlos I in 1805. Throughout the 19th century, Hispaniola remained close to Britain; when the last Stuart monarch, James IV, died without an heir in 1892 and civil war engulfed the British Empire, Hispaniola supported the House of Rochester. It turned out to be a wise move as the Rochesters eventually won control of Virginia, forming a kingdom stretching from Florida to Baffin Island and west to the Mississppi. Hispaniola supported Virginia once more in the TransAtlantic War of 1929-1937. Throughout the rest of the 20th century, Britain's empire continued to crumble as colony after colony broke away, leaving Britain herself impoverished and bitter. Another civil war saw the complete dissolution of Great Britain; Hispaniola joined a North American League peace-keeping task force in 1965 to oversee the peaceful separation of Scotland, Wales, and Britain.
TECHNOLOGY:
Lags about 30-40 years behind OTL. Medicine is especially handicapped; there was no 'African scramble' in this TL and so things like quinine are virtually unknown. Phrenology and eugenics are still widely regarded as viable sciences.

North America 5
NAMES: New Saxonland & New Leoland
CAPITOLS: New Saxonland was New Lundin (OTL New York City) but
the transfered area uses Jeru (OTL Salt Lake City). New Leoland used
Roeh Misip (OTL New Orleans) and the transfered area is being "protected"
by the Jeru government.
POPULATION: The transported population totals 75 million
LEADER: Original leader was Supervisor Edrick Smithson.
The ISOTed area is being led by Deputy Supervisor Thed Oludin.
GOVERNMENT: The governments of both nations were Electronic
Democracies with meritocratic bureaucracies and three branches
at the top. Right now, in the transported region, it's more "ad hoc"
as they try to find their balance. Their computer networks are also
decapitated, causing other complications. The New Saxonland part
of NA 5 is taking the lead. They were originally under a supervisor
elected to one six year term, a unicameral Assembly and a seven man national court. The NA 5 has the positions filled for the duration of
the emergency with the deputies of the leaders, who were located at
the secondary capitol of Jeru.
MILITARY: No strategic weapons were ISOTed. The cities and towns
are protected by the Local Forces, kind of like a combination of
SWAT teams and National Guard equiped with very near future supplies.
HISTORY & TECHNOLOGY:
In the early 4th Century C.E. the charismatic Legion leader
Guisureth Hratgason defects to the German tribes with his troops.
He joins up with King Eomanric instead of the competing contenders.
Hratgason is made "Prince" in return. His success in battle
leads to great popularity among the Goths of his religion, Mithraism.
This is mixed with the native Thorism and spreads widely. In addition
are 2 forms of Christianity, based on Eastern and Coptic Churches
and mixed with Neoplatonism and Nestorianism, as well as a
form of Buddhism expanded and altered by the Mongol Hordes.
The New World was colonized in the 15th Century and became
a region of independent nations a couple centuries later.
The Industrial Revolution began in the 16th Century here,
and progressed almost 200 years ahead of OTL until March 1802
when a global thermonuclear war ravaged civilization. Technology
was thrown back a century, and technophobia and Mithraic
Fundamentalism long hindered the recovery. However, nuclear
weapons were finally reinvented in the middle of the 20th Century.
Within a decade, the total number of nations to test nuclear
weapons grew to eleven. This scared the stuffing out of
everybody and led to the founding of the Pect of Eleven in 1957.
The Pact of Eleven is a world organization with one prime law...
anyone, even a member, who uses weapons of mass destruction
MUST be erased from the face of the Earth. Gradually this was
expanded to aid other countries, scientific research, trade
arrangements, etc. making the Pact of Eleven similar to a
United Nations with a nuclear arsenal as other nations became
secondary members. Both New Saxonland and New Leoland were
primary members. In general, technology is slightly more
advanced than OTL 2004, being one step farther along the
progression R&D - laboratory experiment - engineering prototype -
cutting edge - SOTA - consumer product - bargain basement.
Exceptions are nuclear weapons, which are stuck at c1970
equivalent (and do not exist in the ISOTed area anyway) and
procedures for obtaining and utilizing energy and recycling
materials, which is several "rungs up the ladder". For very rough
comparison, New Saxonland corresponds to the United States and
New Leoland corresponds to Latin America, but these are analogies
rather than parallels.

Name: The Southern Republic of America
Capitol: Charleston
Population: 146.1 Million
Military: Ground Corps, Sea Corps, and Air Corps.
Leader: President Alexander Lee Corvaly (1999-2004), who is a puppet of General William Hill.
History
The Long War (OTL Civil War) descendened into a guerilla war which seemed endless. The war became increasingly unpopular in the North, and the South lay in ruins. Finally, President Wellington declared the South independent, but warned that the ruined country "May never rejoin the republic it lost". The South fell into the hands of Major-General Northe, who, realizing the devastation to the south's governmental infrastructure, made the bold move of ending state government, and making himself dictator. Riots ensued, as "State's Rights" were still popular, but the Major-General, with the help of the remaining army, was able to keep his rule. He then embarked on a plan of revitilizing the nation's agriculture, and incresing it's industrial might. These plans finally came to fruition in 1918, as war escalated, and the Southern Republic was able to quash attempts by Mexico to grab the former Texas, and Mexico later collapsed. The S.R. and the U.S. both seized territory from this, and Mexico lost it's independence.
As for the slaves, they all escaped or were freed. However, the SR still had a large amount of black people, who the populace despised, and many blamed "Negro Sabotoge" for the damage done to the South in the war. The South decided on a massive relocation plan: It's army conquered the weak Haiti, which had encompassed all of Hispanola, and deported the blacks there, forming the Dominion of New Africa, and since then has had to handle revolts from the pre-SR residents, who want independence.
The country has remained highly militant into the modern age, and any calls for demilitarization are crushed by the army. The Corvaly Administration is a puppet for one General Hill, and Corvaly himself is a weak-willed ruler, who's main good point is his charisma. Hill resides in his Mexican Villa, preferring it to the city life of Charleston.
On the map, the Dark Blue is a (very poor) estimate of the "Event" area.

Name: The Commonwealth/The Kingdom of New England
Leader: President of the commonwealth- Jose Zurro, Prime minister of New England- Malcom Smith.
Economy: Similar to OTL New England only more exagerated. High tech farming in the backlands with huge cities where 'buisness' takes place (just what the hell does NYC do eh?)
Technology: More advanced then OTL mostly, military is behind in many areas due to lack of need however in computers and other related 'high tech' fields they are far in advance which can also have military applications (fighter planes don't have as good weapons as and aren't as fast as OTL though can be controlled far better then anything we have).
Nuclear status is unknown, there are no official nuclear weapons stored in the area however submarines come and go all the time.
Since every other advanced nation is counting it as doable (even though I doubt it) where things are nuclear powered it is fusion.
They are starting to make us of mechs (sillier things have been done among some nations and they are just so darn cool!)

North America 11
Name: Estados Unidos Mexicanos/United States of Mexico
Capital: Mexico City
Leader: President Jose Diego
Flag: As OTL
Military Forces: Approx. 2 million active duty personnel (in transported region: 900,000, due to the almost total loss of the navy and border troops)
Population: 350 million, transported region, 150 million
History:
PoD: Santa Ana dies of influenza at the age of 6.
Without his dictatorial influences, the Texans do not
revolt, leading to a time of prosperity in Mexico through the 1830s
and 1840s. The peon system is destroyed by a reformer called Carlos
Montaya, who leads Mexico's reformation and rebirth as the Republic
of Mexico. Eventually, Mexico occupies the Oregon territory, during
the 1860s. In 1880s, Cuban revolutionaries look to Mexico for aid,
and the Spanish-Mexican war is a victory for the Mexicans, who
receive all of Spain's colonies.
The American Civil War still occurs, though it is delayed into the
1870s, when the Republic of Virginia has enough industry to defeat
the Northern states and acheive victory. In the late 1890s, a war
erupts between an Anglo-Japanese alliance and Russia, leading to the
establishment of Japan as a Great Power.
In the 1900s, the United Provinces of Central America joins their
industrialized northern neighbour. A brief war over Panama results
in the Mexican conquest of Gran Colombia. The Mexican government
builds a canal through Panama.
In the 1920s, a great war occurs in Europe between the Triple
Entente- Russia, France and Italy and the Triple Alliance of
Britain, Prussia, and Austria-Hungary. The Triple Alliance is
victorious, but only after 6 years of trench warfare. Europe is
exhausted.
Nippon and Mexico both take advantage of the lull in European power
to establish their own power bases- Nippon in Asia, Mexico in South
America. Nippon purchases the East Indies from the Netherlands.
An uneasy tension exists through most of the 1940s and 50s, as
shifting alliances between the powers confuse much of the populace.
A fascist government is established in Russia, and many ethnic
groups are vanished to Siberia.
In 1963, Mexico is the first nation to develop an atomic weapon,
shifting the power politics somewhat. Russia, Nippon, Prussia and
Britain soon follow. An alliance system develops, with Russia and
Prussia in one group, Britain and Nippon in another, and Mexico as a
third party. A cold war situation persists through the 1970s and
1980s, but the Russo-Prussian alliance starts to become stretched,
and the Helsinki Pact dissolves in 1996 with the overthrow of the fascist Russian government, leaving Mexico unable to play off one group against the other. Mexico is still a great power, but the Anglo-Nipponese alliance is greater still. Then the event happens and Mexico is stuck in Mosaic Earth.\
Technology: Fairly similar to OTL, but with less of an internet due to no IT boom and a longer Cold War period.
