I'll make an election wikibox later maybe
Maybe Oohsia, a corruption of U.S.A.No idea, but the Texans trying to reclaim their legendary homeland seems likely. I picture them sending some larger military vessels to find the Americas and then something goes wrong and they get lost, but that's just because it makes for a cool story. The Americas definitely get discovered eventually, seeing as technology gets a huge boost, people will be able to get there relatively early on, it's just that America is seen as a myth by later generations, so the continent could have a different name. I was considering writing, in an Amraki ancestral homeland myth section "The continent of [name] was almost named Amrak after the mythical homeland of these ancient people, however [name] was chosen instead because..." I just couldn't come up with a name (I'd have to go through a lot of history to figure out whether descendants of the Americans or another group discover the continent, then figure out how their language developed, and then picked a good name in that language). I didn't just want the Americas to straight up be called America or Amrak.
Sorry if this is a disappointing explanation, I told you it wasn't really well thought out.
BrandenBurgIs that Albania and Ireland? What/where are BB and BV?

BaVaria
Maybe Oohsia, a corruption of U.S.A.
Edit: Or Tikshaz, a corruption of Texas.
the only story is that there's no story, aka I have no clueMakes sense. How did this all happen? Or is there no story and there's some other reason you added all of these countries and regions to the US?

We traded them to France for Germany.How did Germany end up in the US but no Puerto Rico?
it's based off of that mad skit that had a drunk person become president (he was also elected for another term), which had him acquire 3 new states: Cuba, Germany, and SaskatchewanGermany, Ireland, and Albania, but no Alberta?
because of comedyHow did Germany end up in the US but Puerto Rico is still not a state?
The Pecos-Rio Grande river system switched with the Tigris-Euphrates one.
Modern US and Mexico (well, really around 2010) around these rivers immediately following an ISOT to this region in 1400 BCE.
This isn't by any means a well though out TL, definitely has more holes than Swiss Cheese, but here it is.
The Big Map:
Legend:
Sorry for the many unlabeled cities in the last map, I was more focused on trying out a graphical style that I don't have much experience with than on getting I every detail.
The idea behind the names is that this "Ancient US"'s records are lost over time (most road signs are destroyed, as are many computers, the Texans don't bring back the internet, however, there are extensive connections between a few individual devices through Bluetooth and similar technologies. Most technology is kept, but names are largely forgotten, and many come from foreign (Egyptian and Median/Madai) texts, resulting in name changes.
America --> Americuh (uh is barely registered by the foreigners) --> Americ' --[passed through foreign phonetics]--> Amrak
- Makalan = McAllen
- Montarai = Monterrey (the one in Mexico obviously)
- Waraz = Juarez
- Las Krusas = Las Cruces
- Karlabad = Carlsbad
- Addaas = Odessa
- Pakas = Pecos
- Albakurk = Albuquerque (the ee sound at the end got dropped)
- Santafa = Santa Fe
- Al Basa = El Paso
Yerak is just how Iraq was transliterated from Amraki English by its neighbors.
I'm really looking for feedback on the big map/graphic, the style and composition, not the information.
Apologies for any spelling and grammatical errors. Also, a note, this is not something I would want to happen, it's just something that was discussed on this thread that I found interesting.
How the hell does this nation collapse in just two hundred years?
