Torn Asunder, Part II
A quiet summer morning in 1867 would turn tragic for some in a split second. President Pendleton, on his way to the Capitol Building to try and wrestle some kind of an agreement over- well, anything, out of the Republican supermajority in both houses after the 1866 midterms, was shot by a demobilized Union soldier. He was rushed to the house of a nearby resident, where he lingered for several hours, dying around five in the evening. Vice President James Guthrie was thence sworn in as President. Guthrie would see no greater success than his predecessor. In 1868, he would go down in defeat to the landslide election of former Secretary of State Salmon P Chase, who would run alongside War of Secession hero Joshua Chamberlain. While war was not redeclared, a policy of barely abiding by the peace agreement was instituted, as military units occupying Tennessee and Missouri would frequently "lose" munitions and guns, and Unionist rebels in Arkansas and northern Alabama would indeed be shockingly well-supplied. The same would go for the black insurgents in Louisiana and Mississippi, and in 1870 a diplomatic incident would occur when Union troops in the Joint-Occupied Territory in Louisiana wee caught arming black rebels,, causing widespread rioting in New Orleans and for the unofficial Confederate ambassador to the United States to barge into President Chase's office and demand an explanation, prompting President Chase to remind him that he never recognized the man as an ambassador. In thee Confederacy, insurgency wore down the country, as large segments of the Confederate army remained in arms to fight the insurgents. A series of bombings would shock the nation, as would the assassination of Secretary of Sate Judah P Benjamin and the attempt on President Alexander Stevens's life.
Finally, after the 1872 Presidential election, John Breckenridge was elected the CSA's third president. A disputed election for governor in Arkansas, however, would result in civil disorder. On December 16th, 1872, as the electoral college confirmed President Chase's reelection, surprisingly well-trained and well-disciplined Unionist rebels with accents that were just ever so slightly out-of-place seized control of the capital of Little Rock, pushing south to Fayetteville and the Louisiana state line by Christmas. The provisional government then declared a referendum, which would be held on March 15th, 1873. The results of the referendum showed that 67% of Arkansas residents favored rejoining the Union. Around that time, insurgents in northern Alabama announced the secession of that area from the state and the establishment of the state of Nickajack, and agreed to rejoin the Union. As a frozen conflict thawed, battle lines were drawn as both nations prepared for a return to hostilities.

THAT LASTED A LONG TIME NOW DIDN'T IT.
Seriously though, from the looks of things the end of the Indian Peace doesn't seem to be the start of another war, rather the collapse of the CS as a coherent nation, with the US swooping in to bring back Order under some pragmatic, and magnificent bastard president
Not mine, but worth a look. Another caveman themed map from Jay Simons on Deviantart.

Well, those supposed Arkansas and Alabama unionists are shockingly well-trained for guerrillas, and now that you mention it the accents really doesn't match up- almost as if most of them, while still southerners, are from Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Allegheny, not from their supposed home states.THAT LASTED A LONG TIME NOW DIDN'T IT.

Had to laugh at a place called 'Cave of Morons'.
Excellent find though. It's a sweet map.

Just a quickish map inspired by the Mars Attacks cards that someone posted in Badass Sci-Fi pics. Feel free to ask questions as I turned to another project before adding notes.
Mars Attacks!
The Martians came in great waves with flying saucers, atomic heat ray guns, giant spiders and an absolute will to commit genocide. Landing on every continent except Australia the Martians initially swept away human defenses, be they Soviet, America or Congolese. But forcing to rely on what was only a relatively small force and betting everything on shock and awe the Martians were slowly defeated and pressed back to their massive sprawling land zones, where every last one was killed (though the supers did capture quite a few and are still conducting torture/experiments on survivors to this day). Eventually Earthlings even made it to Mars where they found a dying civilization thirsting for a new world. Without the technology to occupy Mars the Soviet Union and the United States launched thousands of nukes against the now defenseless Martian civilization, Mars was once frozen wasteland, now its a charred and radioactive frozen wasteland.
Back on Earth millions upon millions were killed in the vast conflict, a generous helping of nuclear weaponry has also caused great suffering but in the end they were crucial in destroying the Martian Menace. Martian occupation zones were reminiscent of Nazi occupation in Eastern Europe, though to be honest the Martians could be much more thorough in their genocide.
It has now been 15 years since the war and despite being united against the Martians the Cold War has come back with vengeance. With two massive civil conflict raging in India and China the superpowers are totally obsorbed in destroying their oppositions forces in the two nations, who cares if it involves the deaths of tens of millions. The world has turned into a dark place, democracy flickers between life in death in only a few places, oppression is the norm, vast environmental and economic damage caused by the Martian War has left the world a poor and destitute place.

A WIP of a collaborative world project in a community which I'm in. Our main map is actually an equilateral map, but for the fun of it, since we were inspired by the Worlda maps here, we decided to try to convert it to a Robinson project.
In the near future, I'll most likely be trying to add text and the story behind many of the things here, akin to a Munroist map, but for now I'd thought it'd be nice to post it here, just as a preview.

Car ownership laws as of 2100.
Blue = Private ownership of manually driven cars banned
Red = Private ownership of manually driven cars requires special purchase permit and driver's license
Yellow = No restrictions on privately owned manually driven cars; license only.
Automatic cars generally do not require a license to drive, but you must be 18 or older to purchase one (16 w/ cosigning from guardian). Public or private ride services (such as UberLyft or Google Taxi) have no age restrictions.
Note: New York City bans the private ownership of all cars, manual or automatic. Ban is currently under review in federal court.
