Been so busy with IRL politics. I'll probably pick at it every couple months. This site isn't going anywhere
I am amused by the though that some of the Lakotah's vassals are probably white guys.
Most of the Lakotah are probably white guys. The collapse of the US government, and destruction of high technology, settled society led to a massive cultural reawakening. Almost everyone in Lakotah proper are claiming descent from the ancient Siouxan peoples, while conveniently ignoring their whiteness. The vassals are even whiter but are equally reliant on the combination of small farms and nomadic societies. Lakotah get all the snazzy salvaged tech.

The Commie Brits from Mars were not very imaginative when it came to sorting out their few remaining territories on Earth.

How Brave They Stood
Damn man, how could anyone even start to compete with Japan, what with them controlling more than half the world's population and what not...
Thanks, I might do that. Granted there are several maps I'd like to make sequels or "spin-offs" (either regional maps or flags) to, but I think I have nice ideas for at least some stuff from this world.
And why are Delmarva and the tiny little southeast corner of Missouri their own states?

In the case of Delmarva, or the state of Accomack, it was the result of a later statehood movement in the part of Virginia on the peninsula (at first annexed to Maryland) and some sympathizing surrounding regions of Maryland. The US liked to grant statehood claims in the early 20th century, which also resulted in the state of Superior. Cultural differences between the eastern and western halves of OTL South Dakota which began to develop in the late 19th century resulted in the state of Souix, and the same sort of thing happened in California with the state of Polk. The state of Coburn was named after President Raphael G. Coburn of the Populist Party who led the country for three terms from 1872 to 1884 and was well loved among the people for reforming the government, clearing out corruption and political machines and championing the welfare of small proprietors and farmers.
The state of Rappahannock was the result of the Treaty of Fredericksburg b between the US and CS. An agreement was reached that the CSA would officially cede the region of Virginia north of the Rappahannock to the US to provide a buffer around Washington and make both capitals roughly equidistant from the border. In exchange the US recognized the CS purchase of Tijuana from Mexico and the CS state of Davis.
The State of Davis was formed from the part of Missouri from which the CS army had not been dislodged by the time the War ended. Over time it grew in importance as a major industrial hub on the Mississippi and from being a highly militarized area with strong central investment.
The End of The Short War
As the soldiers around the world put down their arms and peace returns to the great battlefields of The Short War, Britannia stands triumphant. She, and her Japanese allies, stand triumphant in every theatre. Russian forces were bested throughout Asia and the French have surrendered both Indochina a a huge chunk of Africa. As the 20th century dawns, the world looks on. The Chinese with fear, the Americans with scorn and the Germans with curiosity. The British ideals of Imperial Socialism are creeping into German politics and many say that the German Kaiser Frederick has embraced the philosophy whole heartedly. His friendship with his cousin, Crown Prince Albert suggests a friendship with the British. However many would rather see British dominance dashed than befriended. Only time will tell how the future pans out... For more info, check out the TL in my sig.
