Added Alaska, claimed New Guinea. If the founder of Australia does mind, he's free to fix it.

Upd.: Hope anyone could combine this one with the previous.

Try not to steal other people's territory next time please. Hopefully the Australia creator doesn't mind, but others might later. (not intended to sound mean)

Tell me if I didn't get the GLR right entirely

Roughly, the GLR extends through SD and ND to the Missouri River and along that arch into Iowa and then most of the state of Iowa to the Iowa river.

I am editing the border to include Northern Indiana south to ft. Wayne and then in a straight line roughly to the PA border with Youngstown Ohio being included in the GLR.
 
I dunno how to do maps. Here I will make the border easier. the GLR now consists of OTL MN, SD, ND, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. All with OTL state borders. I am going to edit my post.
