I’m a Man

Future but based off a simple what if. It was inspired by several election based future maps and some technological help from a Supreme Commander and Command and Conquer.

The human race has been pushed to its limits before, but the advancement of it even further is horrifying for many. The election of Donald Trump in November of 2016 made a vast left wing exodus from the interior parts of the country, to Eastern Canada, New England, and the West Coast. The trump presidency would carry on till January 20th, 2025 when Mike Pence became President. President Pence would continue to isolate the left, into its radical forms, who began secessionist parties. President Pence with his more traditionalist policies pushed what was left of the EU to the fringe of their relations. In Europe the majority of Eastern and Central left the EU. Italy found itself in a civil war, that grounded down to a halt, and a Russian backed Five Star Movement controlled South Italy. Poland become somewhat of a major player following the Second Ukrainian revolution after the war dragging on for 14 years still without any end in sight. Poland and Russia effectively split Ukraine, leaving a small rump state in place lead by an aging Tymoshenko. Much of the Balkans is under Russian influence. Russia eagerly provides arms to the Golden Dawn government in Greece, and the Romanians whose gypsies are getting more vocal. Poland contested in the Balkans after the Russian annexation of Belarus by reforming the Visegrad Group and expanding it into Croatia and Austria with help from Hungary Visegrad also expanded into the Baltic's, rivaling Russian influence in Finland and Estonia. In the election of 2028 Pence barely won, and his second inaugural address was another show of violent leftist force after President Pence vowed to have States (the majority of which are republican voting since the left went to California, Canada or the northeast/rust belt) be allowed to vote for or against abortion. This also triggered mass feminist protests devolving into riots. In 2031, Scientists unveiled to the world that a woman had loaned her body to science, and was carrying a genetically modified baby, that would be born, and become a citizen of Canada like its mother. Genetic modification, at first expensive, started to extremely pick up pace in the mid 2030s, large sects of Upper middle class families on the West Coast, Western Europe, New England, the Rust Belt, and Canada. The democrats in the early part of the 2030s had made friends with the "Anti-Libertarians", called the New Liberal Party. The New Liberals, based themselves off a combination of progressive idea's and socialism. Many "New Antifa" made up this party, doing dirty deeds, such as beating up Republicans, Independents, and right wing speakers. Even though democrats had won 2032 out of sheer luck. In 2037, a 70 year old Alex Jones was attacked with his legs broken. Other like Trump and Rodger Stone dead, Jones was one of the last major trump supporters out there. However the increasingly growing Pool News Channel allied with other media outlets such as the Redpill Network, a collection of rightist former youtubers turned journalists, with members like Hunter Avallone, Carl Benjamin, Lauren Southern, an aging Paul Joseph Watson, and Milo Yianoppolous. In 2039 at least 75 million people across the western world had been modified. In America, Britain, and Australia, the large scale divergence between traditionalist conservative and centrist populations and left leaning modified people's and their supports, grew to unprecedented height. In 2041 France elected its first modified President, a socialist promised change for the rest of the EU and "superb rights" for modified people's. In 2043, the European Union announced its support for independent modified persons state in America, which pissed off the United States. The population of the USA was 300 million, 80 million of which were modified people's. Bolstered by Canada, which would later have its own similar yet different succesionist movement at the same time. The "Free States of America" was declared on July 18th, 2044. On July 20th, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, Nunavut, the Northern Territories, and only by occupation of Vancouver by Militias, British Columbia announced their independence from Canada. The President, Andrew Stevenson federalized the California, Washington, and Oregon national guard and sat in the west coast with martial law. The Crisis of 2043 and the sudden weakening of the superpowers, with the Russians and Polish turning a blind eye, Serbia, and Croatia once again ganged up on Bosnia in the Second Bosnian War. The majority of the country fell into Serbian hands with some Croat areas going to Croatia. The United States began to regroup following the Second Revolution. Now President Joshua Griswold ordered the construction of defenses scores the border. Many old world ideas came back. 7 large 20in. artillery pieces were constructed in large platforms. The US upgraded its military drastically. New composite and top secret armor reintroduced the battleship as this armor could withstand multiple missile, torpedo, bomb, and shell hits. The US and FS began plans for dealing with each other. US planners thought of a mobile war in the Great Plains and planted limited defenses in Pennsylvania. US planners thought the FSA wouldn't attack in Pennsylvania and only fortified the 3 major cities of the State, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia. The US military upgraded itself. New heavy tanks, missile launchers, gunships, and technology improved the armed forces. Thanks to giant 3d fabrication issued in late 2043 vehicles and weapons are mass produced more than every allowing for almost instant set up on the battlefield. Russia and Belarus in 1944 in remembrance of 100 years since Operation: Bargration announce that Belarus is joining Russia as a New Republic. Chinese influence expands across the world with the completion of the Nicaragua Canal in 2047. South Africa forms SADO (Southern African Defense Organization) in tandem with WADO (West African Defense Organization) set up by an ever powerful Nigeria. The 2 nation are loosely aligned against Chinese interest but are in their own great game for Africa. Brazil had in the 2030s started to take the steps to a great power. It modernized its army and had begun large national infrastructure projects. Now Brazil had numerous puppet regimes set up across South America in the Guianas, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The Middle East Cold War also carries on. Saudi Arabia and Iran perpetually building up their armies and launching large military maneuvers. Only Russia and India keep them in check for nuclear weapons, and Oman acts as a neutral between the two gaining more ties to a growing India. Tensions on the US-FS border finally would boiled over on the night of April 1st, 2051, when all hell broke loose in the skies of the city of Philadelphia.
 
Didn't that Nazi die because he looked upon the creation of God? I'd assume this is a creation of someone on the other side...

I think you've created the first map equivalent of an eldritch being: I am looking at this, and I am unnerved because I cannot comprehend what it is.
Thanks.

The colours, they go on FOREVER! The eye is not meant to see such colours!
Also thanks.

Bigger just means more colours. Can the board membership handle that many? :eek:
If you include me in "the board membership", I'm afraid I may be the weakest link. In a few places, I went with flat color because I needed it to be over.

Italy found itself in a civil war, that grounded down to a halt, and a Russian backed Five Star Movement controlled South Italy.

Wait what? I don't remember ever hearing about the Five Star Movement having Russian ties, from what I've heard they focus a lot on transparency, which means Russian interference would be noticed quickly. Also why the hell would southern Italy secede? The south would go broke almost immediately after independence, if anything its the north that would try to secede since that's were all of the major secessionist movements in Italy are located.
 
And a oneshot - a world that only contains Jews and their descendants (however tangential; most Latinos are included), with a hefty spotlight on small non-Ashkenazic communities.

I don't get it - was everyone without enough Jewish ancestors raptured or ISOTed away?

During the 2020s under Pence.

It's the 2030s and the Northern Territory still isn't its own state?!

2051 and the US government and citizenry doesn’t quiet care about Northern Canada while their forcusing on militarization, but the area does have a bit more settlements and military research facilities, and some secured Federal “Facilities”.
 
2051 and the US government and citizenry doesn’t quiet care about Northern Canada while their forcusing on militarization, but the area does have a bit more settlements and military research facilities, and some secured Federal “Facilities”.
I was talking about the Australian Northern Territory, not the Canadian/American one. I mean, IRL there are talks of it gaining Statehood next year so it still just being a Territory by 2051 strikes me as being... kind of funny, actually.
 
My first ever map! Sorry for the overly long entry, but I'm not great at writing concisely :p. I give credit to RvBOMally, as his style heavily influences my own. Warning: Not very realistic, and minor butterfly deaths, as I'm playing it fast and loose with the storytelling :)

The Eagle and the Sun


When Woodrow Wilson pledged that the United States would remain neutral in the Great War, he did so hoping that he could spare America from the horrors of “The War to End All Wars”. While he succeeded in sparing the lives of thousands of Americans, little did he know that American neutrality would perhaps be responsible for costing countless more across the world in the bloodiest war in world history, decades later…

By 1918, it was unsure whether the Entente or the Central Powers would emerge victorious. Morale was at an all-time low for both sides, troops grew restless as they lost faith in their governments to end the war, and both sides were edging towards bankruptcy. In the end, it was the Central Powers who lost first. With Austria-Hungary tearing itself apart in civil war, and Germany starving due to British blockade, Germany had no other choice but to agree to the Entente’s peace terms. Even after the official end of the war in 1920, fighting still raged on both sides, as many returning soldiers who were given little financial compensation revolted across France, Britain, and Germany in communist revolutions. While these revolutions were put down quickly, the subsequent crackdowns against communism led to the decaying of democracy in Western Europe.

Out of anyone involved, it was perhaps Russia who won the First World War. While Russia was defeated decisively by Germany in 1918, the red wave across Europe led to the rise of the Soviet Union. As Germany’s short-lived Eastern European empire fell into chaos, the Soviets filled the void left behind. By 1922, the Soviet Union controlled Russia, the Baltics, Poland, Galicia, and Finland. Communism later expanded as Ireland successfully revolted against Britain and became a socialist state, and a coup against the Spanish king led to Communists taking power.

When the dust settled, it was clear that the status quo was unsustainable. Britain was in the midst of depression, India grew restless and was demanding independence, and communist Ireland existed only miles away from Great Britain. The French and German economies were even worse off, and violence was common on both sides of the political spectrum.

Meanwhile, a new ideology that promised long-desired stability was beginning to emerge: fascism. In 1922, Italy was the first country to become dominated by fascists under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. Not long after that, Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists ascended in Britain, followed by Adolf Hitler under a variant of fascism, National Socialism. Finally, reactionaries in France under Action Française took control. While none of these nations were especially fond of each other, they all shared the same goals: to crush communism, and maintain the existence of their empires, or, in the case of Germany and Italy, gain new ones. In order to realize these goals, they created the European Union, an alliance of fascist and national socialist nations.

Across the Atlantic, the United States watched the rise of fascism with concern. Unlike Europe, America was better able to weather the postwar depression, and under a rather left-leaning Democratic Party, recovered by the 1930s. Alarmed at the jingoism arising in Europe (much of it aimed at the United States due to their neutrality in the Great War), the United States created the Monroe Pact, an alliance of North American states opposed to European influence and fascism. The United States also sent out feelers to sympathetic states, and found friends in the USSR, and later the Japanese Empire, which had grown anti-European after feeling cheated in the Great War. Additionally, as Britain’s grip on India tightened, Japan gained an ally in Subhas Chandra Bose in the Free India movement.

The Second World War began in 1941, as the German Reich and the British Empire launched an invasion of Soviet Poland, and France declared war against the Spanish Worker’s Republic. Spain quickly folded, and was annexed by France, but the Soviet Union was a much tougher challenge, being economically aided by the United States and Japan. Still, after fighting for three grueling years against combined Anglo-German forces, and the assassination of Soviet Premier Nikolai Bukharin, the Soviet Union sued for peace, and was forced beyond the Urals, humiliated.

It has now been two years since the Treaty of Omsk, and the second stage of World War 2 is underway. The European Union, seeking to prevent the Japanese from dominating Asia, threw their weight behind the Republic of China, who declared war against Japan hoping to reconquer Taiwan and Manchukuo. The United States, fully aware that they could not stand aside any longer, quickly declared war against the European Union after an American ship was accidentally torpedoed in the Atlantic. As the Atlantic was thoroughly infested with Union ships, the Americans have employed an “Asia First” strategy, hoping to relieve the Japanese and close the easier of the two fronts, rather than try both at the same time. Additionally, they hope that by liberating India alongside Bose, they can trigger a chain reaction that would result in the collapse of the Union’s colonial empires.

However, by 1946, the Atlantic front is clear for American invasion, and preparations are underway. Knowing they’ll face heavy resistance, the Americans have been producing chemical weapons en masse, fearing the worst. But the Union has a trick up their own sleeve: In the Libyan desert, a joint-Anglo-German team of scientists has detonated the world’s first atomic bomb. World War 2 is far from an end…

So, with regard to European Jewry being deported to Madagascar, what's happening to the Slavs (and Finns, and Tatars, and various Caucasians) under German rule? Presumably they're not in concentration camps, if Jews aren't.
