i know (though there are a few differences)...but i just said that really because they both consider themselves different, mainly cos the Spanish love to nitpick, and figured itd make the map more interesting

They would have to be pretty committed, particularly as it seems like from the backstory a lot of the metahumans would have military experience. I find it a bit implausible that such a Holocaust would happen on such a wide scale based on simple fears, unless most of the Western world had become totalitarian. Even then, there would be more interest in controlling and/or neutering them. The military advantages would be too obvious, and the costs of wiping them out too high. And even then, the knowledge that say China was training an ever growing number of them would likely put it into a worrying context.
If it was a more limited phenomenon, or there was another variable (something in the very nature of the powers or their source, perhaps), then I could get behind it. Perhaps, as in Wildcards, most of them have powers that simply aren't that useful. Or the backlash against a metahuman attempt to seize power.
New Zealand by itself going down that route could work though. Could work in some traditionally positive concerns such as Kiwi rejection of nuclear technology and GM. Perhaps the metahumans get painted along those lines, and fear and loathing causes democracy to break down. A world destabilized by metahuman action and reaction, with New Zealand somewhat of a pariah but with "human purity" supporters worldwide. An exile population of Kiwi metahumans in Melbourne pushing for Australian intervention but falling on deaf ears in Canberra. Friendly relations with similar regimes the world over (an Iran who claim the metahumans are satanic, a Zimbabwe that sees them as Western machination, etc). Foreign metahumans dropping supplies and weapons onto the South Island. Could be fun.

You maniac! You communized it up! Damn you! Damn you to hell!!!
My, that's nice. Having one for further north would also be good. Could you ask your friend where he found it?
Nothing for further north or south? The Great Plains and Southern Horn would be excellent for Eurasian marauders.
A (heavily rationalised) map of the world from my Victoria Improvement Project game as the United Kingdom in 1936.
Yes, that is actually the Confederate States of America. It won the civil war when I intervened, securing the independence of the Confederacy and Southern New England (The north being gained in the Caroline War in 1838 and the Oregon War of 1844. After an attempt at reunification in the 1880ies, which ended in the US gaining West Virginia but the UK gaining New York, and the short Alaskan War where the UK gained Alaska and Hawaii, the US went to war with the CSA again in 1928. The CSA and myself occupied basically the entirety of the USA, so I figured they'd annex it, loaded up as the US to give the CSA everything but Washington, then annexed the USA as the UK and traded territories as necessary to get normal looking borders.
Also note British Yucatan, federated India under Britain (annexed British India and the Princely States by event - thankyou VIP) and surviving USCA (with Panama!)

Is that a Spanish Dominion of Tchad with no borders with any Spanish posessions?
If only. Victoria gets weird, but never that weird.
Its the heavily rationalised borders of Toubou, an independent native state. Thats their colour in the TACOS colour scheme.

I'm normally nitpicky when it comes to Spanish-related issues, and I like to remember that Valencians aren't Catalans, but I agree with Iori. By no serious standard Valencian and Catalan could be regarded as different languages.
