Interesting and well done I think
Thanks!
Very nice, Demonkangaroo. What happened with slavery in this TL? Looking forward to future installments! :)
Thanks! I figure that slavery slowly died out in Virginia from the 1820s to the 1860s, with the last slave being freed in 1875ish. In the Deep South, slavery was more or less dead by the late 1860s, but clung on in some areas until the turn of the last century. Race relations are...spotty at best. In Virginia proper, race relations are actually pretty decent. But in the Northeast, Old Northwest, and the Deep South things are about on par with the 1960s at worst. This is because there are less Black folks in the north, and slavery has only been dead for 100 years in most of the Deep South. There are a lot more descendents of freed slaves in the far West than OTL, and runaway slaves founded both the Arkansaw and Sabine Free States.
The way the US #3 is set up reminds me of the German Empire, where Prussia is so much larger than all the other members. In this case, Virginia is Prussia!
Yup! Prussia was actually the inspiration for the relationship between Virginia and the rest of the US. Glad you liked it!

So more updates to my US ridings map (now with lots of states completed)

So this is the first (maybe) in a tentative series I'm calling “Weird USAs”*. This one was born from the idea of having a Holland or an England for the US's Netherland or UK. In this case, Virginia provides the pars-pro-toto name for the United States. Wall o' text and big ass map incoming.

I think you've transposed New York and Pennsylvania on your key
 
Here's a WIP I've been working on, based on a wacky anachronistic game of *Axis&Allies circa 1900. Plethora of various PoDs scattered over past century to make it a good time. There's a process of Munro-ification to be had, then all the critiques in the world won't matter.:p Until then, however, please comment.

And, for your viewing pleasure, a map of all the secessionist movements in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, all in TACOS format along with the coloring of other nations not normally shaded on the standard Worlda map.

WIP of a Semi-United Earth. ASB takes a front seat, as the US basically gets a Stargate to worlds around the Milky Way (and fictional universes, too) in the 1970s. This is the world in the 2050s, dominated by the United Terran Cooperative after the Third World War in the early 2000s. Light blue is UTC member states, which are all members of the United Earth Forum, which grants parliamentary seats based off of population. Nations that are only outlined in light blue don't have full representation but they have more autonomy. Generally those are the nations that don't feel like (or haven't been forced to) bending their will to the US.

WW3 was between NATO and the USSR/China. NATO won, imposed harsh yet fair peace on the USSR, and bit chunks off of China, while forcing demilitarization and a new government. The UTC is scheduled to unify in 2075, with Edinburgh, Houston, and Amsterdam being debated upon for the capital.

Questions welcome, but keep in mind that only Europe and the Americas are finished. I've started Africa, but the rest is the 2014 basemap. Criticism welcome as well.

Future maps of colonized/annexed worlds will be reminiscent of AJND. I freely admit it, but I'm not going to rip him off. He gave me the idea, I combined it with Stargate and plenty of other universes.

EDIT: This is not Stargate, it is only based off of it. The Goa'uld will not appear.
 

Everyone makes mistakes. I should know... :D

BTW, when you say there is a British-Mexican-Chinese cold war, is it a three sided cold war or are China and Mexico on the same side? If it is three-way, what is the Chinese ideology or kink? (Mexico seems to be in the "authoritarian Catholic pricks" camp).

Do not use my powers for evil! :p

Is that some sort of big 'ol Latin American alliance outlined in brown, and what's with that blue outline around much of British India? French trying to get a Great Revolt started?

So is it suppose to be of current or historic secessionist movements?

I'd say historical is included, since I'm fairly sure there isn't a movement right now in southern New Mexico to secede and join the Confederacy. :p

Edit: speaking as an actual New Mexican.

It's a three-way. And the Chinese are statist authoritarians who are mostly out for themselves. They just barely make it into the superpower rank, but hey, nuclear ICBMs and a billion people can really make up for any shortcomings. They would actually side with Mexico for purely ideological reasons, (both the Mexicans and the Chinese think the Brits are Liberal weenies) but the Mexican presence in the Philippines and their close relationship with Japan is just too unbearable for the Son of Heaven.

I assumed as much*. I was just surprised by the lack of Rio Grande, the Yucatan, etc. if it was meant to be historic.

*And to be fair, I'm sure there's probably at least one Neo-Confed somewhere advocating for the restoration of the old Arizona territory. :p

I've always wanted to make a TL and include a fully independent Aguascalientes. I'd note that it was more than just a kiss.

Right, so because of the... alright, see... shit. Anyway, the game sought to level the playing field for the major players, which due to the era had to include all of the Colonial powers & Empires of Europe. Anachronistic for balance sake. Hence the rather odd Dutch holdings in like India and the Boers, Belgium, Congo... So without being absolutely ASB, the map is an effort to explain a (semi-/more) plausible eventuality.

And really, all I can come up with, is more capable governments/ideals over the years. So that Mega-MesoAmerica alliance is a Spain Trademark. Think benevolent decolonization (when all was obviously lost anyway, but saved some face while you're at it) and thus keep some halfway friendly relations for the development of said alliance down the road...

Batshit yet? Anywho, so Portugal reforms after that nasty late 18th-century earthquake, eventually Portugal/Brazil never separate, gets better, blah. Meanwhile, though, America and Britain in particular need to be a tad nerfed to make it happen. Both have a really, really bad 19th century. Hence all the, um, hectic (yeah, hectic) outlines.

Yeah. Sorry rambling.
