The brown one is the Russian Federation, unrelated to the one we know.
"Rump Russia" is the Russian Republic.
Fascinating. What's the difference between those two?

Three inter-related questions:
1) How can anyone who can't figure out how to build a sea wall manage to build so many colonies on the moon that they become visible from Earth?
B) How can the USA build so many moon colonies when Cape Canaveral is under water?
3) Why is the sea level so much higher than scientists predict? It looks like more than 7m, possibly the 20m basemap. That would be 20-40 times the prediction from the IPCC by 2100.

Good God on Earth,what happened?
The World of Horizon Falling, 2112Current map of Earth for my TL, Horizon Falling. Questions and recommendations are very much welcome, as this is my first public map post here.
I plan to eventually post the full timeline on this site, but it's still very much under construction.
Just keep in mind the Galveston Hurricane in 1900. Nearly wiped out the city. As far as capitals go there would be some space constraints as well, though I suppose nothing too major, since it is hardly like it would be a national capital. I see in your thread Galveston is only mentioned once, in reference to an election win. Houston apparently got a lot of investors and business scared away from Galveston after it was nearly leveled, so...
I searches for Galveston. Nothing but the one thing I already mentioned. Besides, I am asking the author here, wher epeople should in relation to a map.
And Gulf of Cortez.... I cannot see the Mexicans, Californians, or Texans wanting to use the name of him for that. It might go against their own nationalist policies.
Come to think of it, how does Texas have so much land? They needed the US to back them to get most of what they got IOTL, and I feel it would be impractical for them to invade westward repeatedly. Suppose it might be one of those things you need to read to find out.
Thanks for the pointer. You don't specifically mention it that I could see in the ol dpost you linked to, but I presume that Great Britain gave the early Republic of Texas some kind of financial support to help allay the growing debts from breaking away from Mexico?
Not to be nitpicking, but in my opinion the state borders actually look worse, particularly Idaho/Montana (what's with some of the latter's most populous counties being taken by Idaho) and the "Hispanic" states. That tiny state at the edge of southern Florida is probably very underpopulated, too. That said, everything else is fine, and I actually do like the map.
How long before the remnants of Louisiana become a U.S. territory?

C) *grins* This world is much more apocalyptic than it seems at first glance. Climate Change was horrendously mismanaged by everyone, save for western Europe.
-What is the current Chinese government like? You mentioned China collapsing because of resource exhaustion; how did it dealt with losing most of its major cities to the sea? Is the Chinese interior much more densely populated than today?
-How did India manage? With an independent Kashmir, and the Pakistan and Bangladesh rumps still independent, I assume that India was too preoccupied with internal problems to assert its power elsewhere.
-Israel seems to have annexed both the West Bank and Gaza. How did that worked out, and did the country weather climate change well?
-Korea is one color, but the North-South border is still present; I assume that a confederation-style arrangement was reached peacefully?
-How did Vietnam became divided again? With both states' largest cities and breadbaskets (the Red River Delta and Hanoi for the north, the Mekong Delta and Saigon for the south) being underwater, neither country seem more viable apart than together.
-Did the US take over most of the Pacific island chains? How did the populations there cope with the sea level rise, having no land nearby to evacuate to?
-Are all of the major coastal or near-coastal cities (NYC, DC, LA, SF, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Mumbai, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta, Sydney, etc.) underneath the waves? Are there any successful efforts to preserve at least a few cities of exceptional economic value (or cultural, such as Venice) with sea walls?
But the reason for their separation is analogous to why NK & SK are divided today.
Is this a world where the Americas ended up being the major powers of the world, and not Eurasia?The Lenape Empire at its greatest extent, c. 1896
View attachment 506032
The Lenape Empire consists of: the Lenape Union; the Provinces and Territories of the Lenape Empire; and the Lenape Protectorates of Lunda, Malaysia, and Greater Cypria. The Lenape's aims are to join their colonies in East and West Africa, to fully control the Mediterranean, to secure their holdings in the Indian Ocean, and to gain a foothold in the Pacific, preferably in Southeast Asia. Their allies are the Cree Confederation, the Mohawk State, and the Seminole Alliance, while their main enemies are the Haudenosaunee, Powhatan, and Nahua Empires.
-Mixed. Cities on the lunar surface are visible from Earth now, but they don't exactly cover the surface. Terraforming on Mars is moving faster than expected thanks to new technologies and massive public interest in the project. Though Luna, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt were dominated by China, the United States, and Japan respectively, the US outlasted the other two and now is building up a monopoly on space. Everything besides those three is treated like Antarctica is today: cold and desolate, with the occasional research "colony."
Well at least not my fault since those were taken from the previous map.Nicely done, though it's kinda funny for there to be a Kingdom of Comté (literally "county", from "free county", denoting the region as being ruled by a count beholden directly to the Emperor). Kingdom of Burgandy would be more appropriate.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, the Rhonish Kingdom might not contain any part of the Rhône.
