One thing that I find rather nice are the claim lines in South America. I just like them for some reason.
I also really like the Portuguese Mexico.
I think that the Ottoman Empire* should be split up into Dominions and Protectorates so that a sense of autonomy is felt and so that nationalism doesn't start popping up so early.
That would be what is left of the CSA imploding in on itself thanks to another communist revolution.

That's kinda funny, because that's my third revision of them and I still find them ugly.
Thanks. It's mostly Reformed*, just so you know.
Oh, don't worry, the Mongols ain't gonna be doing so well in a hundred years. "Sick man of Europe" Will be describing them just swell. Of course, when oil becomes a powerful commodity, they will be making some sort of comeback...

I like the scenario, but the map is rather bland. Do you think you could add some details like cities and roads?
The response about how you should not have used OTL state borders so exactly in your map made me think of this:
From the North bank of the Colorado River and the West bank of the Mississippi to the Westernmost limits of the Missouri River water system - "Missouri"
From the South bank of the Colorado River, South to the US-Mexico border, as far East as the Western bank of the Mississippi, and also including all of California to the South of San Francisco Bay (the area serviced by the man-made water supply route beginning with the Colorado River Aqueduct) - "Colorado"
From the North bank of San Francisco Bay to the North bank of the Colorado River, as far East as the Westernmost limits of the Missouri River water system - "The Rockies"
From the East bank of the Mississippi as far South as the border of Kentucky and West Virginia, following the Great Lakes basin in Northern Pennsylvania and Upstate New York all the way to the border with Vermont - "The Great Lakes"
"New England"
Everything East of the Mississippi, South of the Midwest, and West of New England - "The United States"
Which is just to say, there are many ways to use natural borders to decide on the location and extent of polities.
Are all the tan countries independent, or are there other colonial empires present (e.g. English, French, Spanish...)?A fairly random map (oh noes!

It's not a Scottish wank unless they have Cumbria and Northumbria!
EDIT: How is one meant to show rebellions on the TACOS?

Other colonial empires, yes; I just made 'em all light tan so the wanked nations would stand out a bit better.

I assumed PODs no earlier than the late 1300s/early 1400s, by which time it's really getting a bit hard to properly scotticize those areas. Keeping the English out of the Old Country is going to be enough of a pain without giving them a massive irredenta.

Fun Fact: Tallahassee was only founded as a city because it was roughly equidistant from St. Augustine and Pensacola (the Capitals of East Florida and West Florida, respectively) and therefore was created to be the Capital of Florida. Unless Florida was originally a state for a long time before the POD, Tallahassee wouldn't exist.
Edit: Ah, I just realized your post was connected to something else. Carry on.

So that's what... St Kitts & Nevis and Antigua & Barbuda are the only OTL countries... then there's Anguilla, St Martin/Sint Maarten, the Netherlands Antilles of Saba and I forget the third of the NL Ant... Saint E-something. And Montserrat. Did I get all of 'em?

A Place where the wind comes sweeping down the plains and the Hydrogen sulfide has subsided enough for a port city to thrive and build a small kingdom.
