WOW @Lottie except for the for the countries font and the wrong name for Yemen, the rest is excellent.
Although I thought in my map "West Somalia" in my map belonged to Somalia "proper" together with Dijibouti (?). But again, is marvelous.
Thanks for the tips! I added those changes to the map and made a couple more that I noticed later that were missing, namely the troll state in north-eastern Cote d'Ivorie and the fact that the Ute Nation had given the non-native Mormons (or those they didn't genocide at least) Salt Lake City as an independent city-state, so it wasn't bought alongside the Ute Nation when the PCC bought it.
So here is a surprise cover for @RoyalPsycho's worldA, Very Displaced. The idea of a non-Muslim African colonization of the Americas has always tickled me fancy, but a completely displacement of the entirety of sub-Saharan African onto North America was even more intriguing. The writeup and idea goes completely to RoyalPsycho, but all the toponyms (other than the named few) were made out of artistic liberty.

This is really cool! How did you go about creating toponyms?

TRIUMPH OF THE AMERICAN UNION!
Should glory of Old might be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The Blood and strife recalled not,
and fully past and gone:
With fervor be and full in Mind,
pride in what has bygone;
Lest our great Nation won't look back
On Times long past.
-American patriotic poem, sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne.
That song says to me "mistakes were made, really really big ones at that, but we are committed to forgetting them"
Its more of a, "make sure you don't forget what our forefathers did, otherwise we lose who we are."
But they’ve clearly already done that, as they’ve destroyed the nation of their forefathers.
And debuting:

Go Down, Moses, Way Down in Egypt Land
In the Year of Our Lord 1858, the heavens parted and lo, Southern Illinois found itself in a new Promised Land. A land free for all... All non-slaves that is.
The Republic of Little Egypt was founded in 1860. The nickname of "Little Egypt" was coined sometime in the early 1830s and as of the present day, it is held that Little Egypt will be a mighty empire, like the biblical Egypt before it. It still has some trappings of American life. It's an American style Presidential Republic, a majority of the population follows Christianity, and it was founded with an American style constitution (Granted, that is a 1860s constitution, but still).
The same cannot be said of the Kingdom of Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt is a puppet state of Little Egypt, but they got a little bit obsessed with Ancient Egyptian culture and religion. An absolute monarchy ruled by a Pharaoh, who claimed to have received a vision from Thoth on building a new Egypt. The Kingdom of Lower Egypt has everything one would associate with Biblical Egypt: Pharaohs, Magicians, slavery, polytheism, slavery, and slavery.
In opposition to these two nations are a collection of nation-states.
The Federation of America is what remains of Pro-Slavery Illoniosians who were more patriotic in the American Dream than the Republic of Little Egypt. They still have chattel slavery, albeit on a smaller scale than Little Egypt. This makes their oppositions mostly a thing of the past and they do tend to trade more with their neighbor to the north.
What remained of some form of federal government fled to Northern Illinois and expanded outwards under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, who was campaigning in Cario when the ISOT occured. They are in a perpetual war with Little Egypt, seeing it as a secessionist government from the United States. They say that all land that once belonged to the USA still belongs to them, and thus have seats in their legislature for every missing state in the Union, with representatives coming from Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
The Free American State is a small buffer nation founded by Abolitionists. It's less of a state and more of an autonomous military outpost for the Republic of New Afrika.
The Republic of New Afrika, occasionally called "Canaan", was organized by a former slave named Moses Jefferson. All escaped slaves know to come to Canaan/New Afrika as it is the safest place in the world. Some hope that one day, the nation of Little Egypt will suffer from a divine plague that will save those trapped in bondage.
(This complete stemmed from me thinking too hard about "Little Egypt" and everything spiraled from there. I didn't put too much research into it for the write up.)

"Let my people go" intensifies.
Why "New Afrika" with a k? I think that spelling only became a thing during the Black Panthers eraGo Down, Moses, Way Down in Egypt LandIn the Year of Our Lord 1858, the heavens parted and lo, Southern Illinois found itself in a new Promised Land. A land free for all... All non-slaves that is.

Could just be that people stopped enforcing standardised spelling after the ISOT.
That's what I was able to find as well. The first source (see page 17 of 387) has a footnote, which suggests that the "k" was used to emphasise the "hard c".

I was bored so I deleted Spain and replaced it with Fodlan from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. (Probably overestimated on it's size though.)
Surprisingly fits well into Europe.
