Washington & Bolivar
I was thinking about them lately: Bolivar had a very adventurous and heroic life but his Gran Columbia ultimately failed. Washingtons military career was not that eventfull, but maybe the most important thing he did was to give up the presidency peacefully and so set a lasting example of democratic behavior.
What if it had been the other way round?
Washington is even more sucessfull in the war and conquers Canada. But after his dead a series of constitutional reforms and coups lead to the break-up of the US. The rump state later takes the name Washington.
Bolivar never goes on to liberate Peru. Instead he focuses on establishing working political and adminsitrative structures for Gran Columbia.
Gran Columbia later becomes a modern, industrialised world power. (not quite as dominant and advanced as the OTL USA, because it had less open space to attract immigrants and inherited a quasi-feudal economy from the Spanish.)
The Anglo America is a little more modern and economicaly sucessful than OTL South-America (reasons see above) but still mostly agricultural and never played a major role in world politics. Development was hampered and immigrants scared by regular military involvment in politics and the unfortunate tendency of many of their greatest leaders (Jackson, Grant, Roosevelt, Clinton ...) to declare themself president-for-life and end up as the tyranns they once fought.
The Metois republics of Matioba and Sasquatuan are closely allied and sparesly populated.
Peru and Cuba are today self gouverning but still part of the Hispanidad with the King of Spain as head of state.
Mexico is in many ways simmilar to OTL but immigrants tend to head south.
British New Foundland is mainly used for military survival training and launching european satelities into space.
Jamaica becam independent after the Columbian-British war.
Major Events in this timeline:
-The war of the Triple Alliance (Texas, Florida, Kentucky) against Mexico
-The Amazonas purchase
-The Second Columbian-Spanish war of 1831
-The Surinam Purchase
-The Red River Rebellion
-The Columbian-British war (major british defat and the end of their carribean empire)
I felt like sharing a map I made for my world-building project (link in sig), since I thought it came out rather nice:
I do apologize for the rather garish green though. For comparison, here's one with the territory colored in and the same map without the green.
To get an idea, this is the mapa mundi of the project.
Seconded.First time I saw this, I thought it was a distorted Korea.
I made a few changes to improve my older map.
Additional backstory:
France was unable to uphold its claim on Louisiana after 1815. The southern part was annexed by Washington & Kenntucky. The North was settled by European Immigrants without much support by any gouverment.
These Settlers were mostly Germans & Scandinavians without mutch sympathy for the Eastcoat States. Later on they formed their own state who's constitution mirrors that of Gran Columbia.
A war with Pennsylvannia led to todays borders.
Great Britan auctioned of some of its american possessions when they decided to focus on Africa & Asia after their defeat in the British-Columbian war of 1909. Louisiana got Oregon and Argentinia got the Falklands.
Francocanadians were even more marginalizised in the US and its succesor states, then in OTL. As a ressult some of them migrated West and founded Mantioba. When Mantioba developed into an Pennsylvanian puppet the diehards went on to found Lafayette.
The Texan Indian Territory gained independence as Sequoya in 1930.
Cuba and Peru are still in personal union with Spain (a major power in TTL).
Where canI find the basemap for this? Sorry to qoute map.Ah, good.

Isn;t there a version withs single-pixel-thick (SPT?) coast and borders?Frankolio,
Here you go, man.
A world about 300 years after a zombie plague. Spread through salivary contact (biting or pre-zombification interaction) with an incubation period of up to six months, it hit many animals too. The zombies aren't very slow shamblers, but they aren't these new fast not zombies either. For some reason that's being given a good deal of attention the zombies don't age, so there are plenty who have been zombies for three hundred years. Of course with barerly industrial tech in the nicest of regions the research is going very far.
Sorry that it's huge and not very good, still learning photoshop.
That's an awesome map, but what do the colours mean?
