This is a scenario I made because I had nothing better to do. It literally worships octagons.

Octagism is the Religion which Octagina believes in. It came to be when elmo, and with that his soul, was brought to real life. Soon after elmo died from shock. His last words were octagon. And elmo's soul influenced Jack Black, Leading to him making Octagism and the state behind it called Octagina.
Octagism was followed by few people, so Jack Black, which was influenced by elmo did a few miracles such as turning the moon to an octagon. And this lead to him gaining popularity.
Octagina as a political entity will be discussed within the numbers section.
Octagism is a religion with about the same popularity as Islam by now, which is the only major religion to not be heavily affected. It is based on the idea of octagons being some sort of religious artifact, Jack Black being equivalent to Jesus and Elmo being God. In Octagi (Ohktaagi with the gi as in guinea) Streets, stop signs are given comfortable resting spots, all houses have some sort of octagon, and an hexagon is burnt monthly by the town zealot (Octus), to represent Jack Black burning Ty Burrel that fucking cu- whatever, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Other from that, Octagism is a pretty semi-centralized religion. And is similar to forcefulness as christianity.
Number Explanations:
1: Expansion to Europe was Hard, but since the US was in turmoil first, Europe couldn't really do much to save themselves. As quite a few NATO members left right before attack. Hmm, I sure wonder why?
2: Communism,but this time Trotskyism took over instead. They took Kazakhistan and Belarus. Renamed themselves to the ESSR (Eurasian Socialist Soviet Republics)
3: Cyrenaica Left with a bit of Wiggling.
4: Kurds left all three nations during turmoil. 5: Iran got OOFED by Octagina and some people inside took advantage, not hard to understand.
6: China took advantage of the US falling, and Took Mongolia. 7: Octagina shaved Taiwan of them though.
8: Octagina took some land from Eastern Russia during the small civil war period.
9: Koreans had peace. Discussion about the government (Center Left or Right?) are being discussed (Thus the claims)
10: The Homeland that Octagina began with. From california, As the religion spread, it was deemed satanic, and made Octagists angry and rebels occured. In California was first. Then Almost everything west of the Mississippi. Eventually most of the US got annexed. Not everyone, there were lot's of Uprisings in the US asking the goverment to permanently join Octagina.
11: Canadian and Octagi controlled. Simple really.
12: Simply put. Amazon people wanted to be Territories not Subdivisons. Mexico was attacked by Octagina afterMexico started arresting Octagi believers.
13: Greenland is a subject, that means it is a nation in it's own right, but doesn't have a say on the political part it is in.
14: Argentina lost power after Octagina, and Octagina took advantage, taking lot's of Antarctica only as a claim and influencing a province.

To say the least, ALL HAIL THE OCTAGON.

A very interesting scenario as you always do!

Thank you! :cool:

Is there or has there ever been movements in northern US states to join Columbia?

I imagine that there would mainly be a lot of US citizens wanting to become Columbian citizens. Lots of labour migration, for sure.

Did the boll weevil hit the Union’s plantation economy in the late 19th century? If so What consequences did it have
Click to expand...
I imagine it hit later, because the Union was already getting extremely isolated by that point. It wasn't kept out forever, and when it did hit, it only contributed to the mounting poverty. (Of course, by that point, slavery was already so obviously a crippling factor that any regime unwilling to stop propping that up would also be uwilling to let anything else get in the way of "perpetuating our way of life".)

When was transAtlantic slave trade abolished? Same as IRL by he British?
Click to expand...
It ended as in OTL, I imagine. Some slavocrats may have dreamt of starting it up again after the North seceded, but Britain wouldn't let that happen.

Who controls the oil fields off the coast of Louisiana? Seems like something the union really wish they had If they can’t profit from them
Click to expand...
Formally, offshore drilling is done by Lousiana, but there are mostly big investors from Texas and Britain involved. They have the capital to make the best offers for concession rights. Louisiana is rich enough (thanks to having possibly the most economicaly opportune location in North America) that it never has to worry about questions like "is too much of our oil flowing to foreign interests?"

Also, the fact that Texas and Britain are the Very Big Friends that keep everyone from ever considering forced annexation of Louisiana, nobody in New Orleans is going to complain about the matter.

Nicely done, @Skallagrim , but given their OTL desires and behavior, I have trouble seeing the *Union not engaging in at least one spectacularly stupid effort at expansion somewhere, and getting into a serious war with at least two of three of the British, Mexico, and Columbia. We may laugh at the whole "Golden Circle" business as delusional, but the Southerners of the time really though they could pull it off.

That's a fair point. My reasoning was that since they don't get total free reign (after the North secedes) until the 1870s, the age of filibustering would be over by then-- and the prospect of Britain, Mexico and Columbia joing forces in any war would keep the slavocrats in line. It's quite likely that I'm attributing more sense to them than they'd actually possess...

For those who have been anticipating another one in my "wanks" series, the next group of maps - Paraguay through Rwanda - should be along in a couple days.

(Next group starts with "Papua." I'll have to go deep-time for that one...)

Can you clarify what you mean about the borders? As for Denmark, that was something I forgot to fix, it’s fixed now.
Click to expand...
I assume that these borders are from 1939, right before outbreak of war, but what about western borders of Poland? (they are not pre-war and they are not in-war...)
