Who can guess what this map shows?

 

[Caprice]

Who can guess what this map shows?

Anyone can. My guess is that it's a US presidential election, perhaps a sort of reverse of 1872.

Worst case scenario for the GOP with TR’s Progressives?

 

[Temeraire]

Worst case scenario for the GOP with TR’s Progressives?

No, it’s a modern map. My guess is Trump gets primaried and runs third party, with disastrous results for the GOP.

Both are incorrect. it doesn't involve Trump or 1912

 

[Tex Arkana]

This might help a bit, here's another map using the same idea as the first one:

 

[TimTurner]

Formula that takes into account square miles and population.
Post 2020 I'll have to draw new constituencies though.

Have drawn seats for every state east of the Mississippi, MN, IA, AR, WY, and ND.

A Donald Trump running for re-election on the day that Seoul is nuked by the North Koreans against a ticket consisting of Beto O'Rourke and Doug Jones?

That map reminds me of the 1948 election for some reason.

Why would he be running as an Indy? green does not represent a Republican.

That is probably the election that it's most reminiscent of, but with weird differences.

Thanks! The PoD is back in the 1800s, so I haven't thought a lot about modern politics, but there's a few stuff I could link you to, or I could answer questions.



The idea I had for Sinn Fein was Gaelic languages surviving much better in the Maritmes and Newfoundland, so that Cape Breton is more like Gwynedd and Canadian Scottish is still vibrant. An alternate Sinn Fein expands beyond Ireland and becomes a Celtic interests party (like the Irish Parliamentary Party) and becomes the foremost political movement in Cape Breton.

Are other parts of Canada represented in the parliament?

Is it bad that the most ASB part of this is Cheney running in 2008? Not only did he have severe medical issues, he had to be convinced to be Vice President, let alone President

Cool maps though!

Are other parts of Canada represented in the parliament?

Newfoundland is also a part of this alt-UK, but Quebec and the rest of Canada are an independent nation.
