Latin America wank without Las Malvinas under Argentine control = not a Latin America wank
Nice high-quality map! Only want to say that "nieuw" in "nieuw-Finland" would be written with a capital letter. It's part of the name "Nieuw-Finland", and thus needs capitalisation.My first MOTF submission, see if you can figure it out (and no cheating by referring to the submissions thread
On the afternoon of April 30th, 2017, the US states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alaska find themselves alone on a blank Earth. No people, no countries, nothing. No one knew why, but here they were. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, who was in his home state of Montana at the time, was sworn in as the only surviving member of the US Presidential Cabinet. With a population of ~32,181,271 as of the ISOT, some were worried the food would run out, but as of yet, everything is still going well, even if a few belts needed to be tightened.
Once things settled, there was talk about the 2018 midterms and the 2020 Presidential Election. While the governors of the states would pick the replacement senators and the 2018 election to replace the loss of representatives, the 2020 election would have one large problem:
The electoral college would highly favor a conservative candidate (See here, Dems would have a safe max electoral vote of 19 while Republicans would have a safe max electoral vote of 31, with 10 electoral votes in swing. Max: Dems, 29. Republicans, 41.), with the only swing state being Minnesota. There are three options that people tend to argue. First, abolishing the electoral college, Second, rearrange electoral votes, Third, allow electoral votes to be divided based more on the popular vote, or Fourth, states are divided in whole (e.g. Eastern and Western Washington, Eastern and Western Oregon, Northern and Southern Idaho). While the argument continues, they are mostly getting put on hold as the 2020 electoral season has begun. With President Ryan Zinke running as the only Republican, the Democrat field has Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Oregon Governor Kate Brown, Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Tina Smith, along with a few other minor candidates. The Libertarian candidates include Joshua Trumbull of Washington, Dan Cox of Montana, and David Watson of Kentucky, along with other minor candidates.
Washington State has the highest population while Alaska has the lowest. The US capital is currently Whitefish, Montana, Zinke's residency town. Eventually, they'll move back to the old Washington D.C. area, but that's at the least 60 years away.
