White did not create any pages for Mexico, all we've seen of it is that there are herdsmen (probably shepherds and goatherds) and that the north/central of it is Catholic, which presumably means the southern portion of the country is. I imagine it's probably not too different from 16th century...
Whether or not the Youtube video is accurate, the "wheat and cattle to hogs and corn" is from White's site itself. The wide scale factor farming we see in present day America would not necessarily be the same in a non-Industrial setting, where technology, infrastructure, and even market demands...
I don't think England or Japan are meant to be absolute monarchies, simply that they are no longer, strictly speaking, democracies, and White used them as an examples because they're two very well known nations with extant royal families.
I'm not sure how prevalent crossbows would be in New Mexico. They might be a bit of a resource drain, the absolute monarchy might consider it a cultural taboo, and most of their opponents would be the Horse Archers of the plains, and crossbows are not ideal for when everyone is fighting on...
It is very likely the name "Washington" for a state has fallen out of use--the maps show no such place with that name. The Western half of the Pacific Northwest is a presumably a collection of city states, and the Eastern half a kingdom known as "The District of Columbia". People from the area...
It's very highly super unlikely Cuba is still Communist. I think the closest approximation to it (and it would very much be a lower case "c") would be found in the hill towns of the Northeast and, somewhat ironically, the prairie tribes. The greatest legacy Communism would leave is that its...
More than half Medieval America seems to be what might be considered a "people of color", though almost half of that would be people who could probably "pass" as white in recent times. The shrinkage of cities definitely mitigates the diversity, although the absolute vastness of urban sprawl in...
New England's main exports seem to be books, sheep, and textiles. While it's definitely not the industrial power it was in the 1800s, I don't think it would be a complete backwater either. Besides being a halfway stop on the U.S.'s trade route, as the location of six Non-Denom headquarters...
-Neo-Medieval Piracy as usual, is a case of splitting the difference--in this case the Golden Age of Piracy and the Viking Age. (The Vikings also had a system that resembled democracy as much as not.) As it is, our image of the Pirate has been Hollywooded up, (Many were not white, nobody really...
I think I was the first one to come up with the idea of a NJ feudal state coming out of the Mafia. I got it from a historian on TV saying "Your Dark Age knight had a lot more in common with Tony Soprano than Lancelot". And since New Jersey, which is where a lot of NY and even Philly bosses made...
This is going to be my next post, but the outbreak of Covid-19 has led to a mild resurgence for Drive-In theaters. I'm thinking the use of drive-in screens (or small scale recreations of such) would be popular in the years following a collapse. The best way to recreate the cinematic experience...
There's definitely an allure in a sort of Neo-Aztec culture, but I generally believe in keeping it Catholic because 1) I don't want to make a habit of exoticizing non-white nations, and 2) To preserve Medieval America's novelty, that means keeping the "rerun"aspect in as many ways as possible...
My two cents about Latin America.
I think Mexico is pretty much mainline Catholic, though obviously with its syncretic elements. The maps show even the spread out deserts are mainly Catholic, which makes me think a lot of villages similar to the Spanish missions of the Colonial era. In general...
This was seriously going to be my next article. In short, throughout Middle America, it is common to have haircuts similar to those worn by the Normans. Very short bowl cuts are also common among the Churchmen, due to the tidiness and that it cuts through a lot of racial lines.
Wigs are also...
"President" is the term used by the head of state in the U.S., and is apparently used by a few breakaway states, but is largely secular in the East, though the Church does "endorse" claims.
The Supreme Court is elected by the District Supervisors (the heads of the their respective "dioceses")...
