Thanks, but that's not the one I was looking for. The book is about 70 pages longer and has information on nations, etc, that this doesn't have.
One year after the fact people across the globe are now familiar with term ISOT, Americans especially so. The Great Blackout, the California water crisis, the untold loss of GDP and millions of stranded citizens were all images that blared across television a year ago today. Even now as midterms approach tempers are flaring over more accurate Congressional counts and the status of the "lost states" delegates and senators. Can we as a nation afford to rebuild our armed forces with 22 of our 100 largest cities vanished? We still haven't found permanent homes for many of the refugees from the Crossover (or Calamity, as the Canadians call it).
And what of Canada? The Trump presidency with Russian aid has stymied Canadian political recognition across much of the globe and hindered trade and diplomacy for a nation already floundering from the disappearance of its monarch and prime minister, as well as trade connections. By all accounts, the Canadians see shades of their United States tyranny and despotism in Trump's demands for access to water in California, military basing rights and the assumption of our Canada's debt.

*greater Canada*
"I still don't see the Thirteen Colonies, Mr Trudeau."
Also, I have no idea what the ISOT is supposed to be.
A Greater Canada all of a sudden found itself on our Earth. The rest of the map should be 2017 OTL.
Another one!
EDIT: So apparently it was too big; I've inserted a smaller version here, see here for the full-size map.
Apologies to @Keperry for the similarity of my map to your recent one - it was developed independently of yours and any similarities are entirely coincidental.
New Holland has perhaps the oldest and most interesting history of the Australian nations, that has contributed to its modern prosperity and diversity. First sighted by Europeans in 1616, settlement did not begin until 1704 with the establishment of Utrecht as an outpost at the midway point between the Cape and East Indies, partly to help in resupplying ships on the Brouwer Route, and partly to stop another nation from taking the land and its supplies of sandalwood. (While the VOC was mostly focused on trade, they also knew the advantage of a monopoly, and control over the continent would be a great aid to increasing the Company’s profits.) The colony’s population remained small, however, until the early 19th century, when, following British occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, the colony was returned to the Dutch. The Cape Colony, however, was not, and New Holland saw an influx of Dutch South Africans fleeing British rule. About the same time, the colony began to expand inland and up the coast. Over the decades, the population steadily increased, and in response, the colony was first given its own governor, and then a local legislative body, although it remained subordinate to the Dutch Estates-General until independence. The population saw another massive increase with a series of gold rushes, and then a mass exodus of Boers from South Africa following the British victory in the Second Boer War. By the 1930s, the colony was effectively independent, with its own culture and language - the Boer language, based off a southern Dutch vernacular that also adopted words of Malay, Javanese, French and indigenous languages that eventually evolved into a distinct language of its own. Granted full independence in 1942, the republic has gone from strength to strength, developing rapidly and attracting migrants from Africa and Asia, especially to the rapidly growing metropolises of Utrecht, and the diverse pearling city of Eerenstad. Rich in natural resources, New Holland appears to have a bright future.

It's not a greater Canada unless the Maple Leaf flag is flying over Fort Sumter.
Preferably Buenos Aires.

Sure is, with the decline of France they were the strongest coloniser in the area & took advantage of the opportunities.
I'm a bit late to the party but here's my interpretation of Wyyt's 12 nations idea with Pennsylvania:
A1: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
OTL Pennsylvania
A2: Republic of Pennsylvania (1792)
Delaware and Pennsylvania had mutual desire to remain one territory after the dissolution of the United States in 1790; Pennsylvania wanted to retain a coast on the Atlantic Ocean, and Delware did not want to be annexed by the Catholic-dominated Maryland.
A3: Province of Pennsylvania (1800)
British Pennsylvania with maximum colonial claims
A4: United States of America (1791)
Despite gaining an additional victory against the British in the form of a border on the Nipissing line, the failure of the Articles of Confederation resulted in its opponents declaring independence in the most of the southern states. Plans for a new capital on the banks of the Potomac were thrown out and instead Lancaster, Pennsylvania was chosen as the northern nation's capital.
B1: Reichskommissariat Pennsylvanien (1949)
After the atomic annihilation of New York City and the total occupation of the United States by Axis forces, the German heritage of Pennsylvania led it to become the Reich's darling American territory. Pennsylvania was "gifted" territory from New Jersey after it was deemed purged of undesirables, and enjoys some degree of autonomy compared to the other Reichskommissariats. In certain circles, it is stated that the Reich's war machine is "powered by Pennsylvania steel and Texas oil."
B2: Westsylvania (1777)
The push for statehood of western Pennsylvania and Virginia was successful, and Westsylvania became the 14th state in the union with its capital in Wheeling.
B3: Republic of Allegheny (1868)
With the Confederate States victory in the War of Northern Aggression, Allegheny and New England were the next nations to declare independence from the Union. Allegheny maintains a friendly relationship with the British, who wished to distance themselves from the Confederacy.
B4: Pennsilfaani (1801)
The Pennsylvania Dutch managed to found their own country in the New World
C1: Pennsylvania Worker's Republic (1938)
An autonomous republic in the United Socialist States of America, founded after the Treaty of Chicago formally ended the Second American Revolution. It is regarded as one of the harshest republics within the USSA, with dissenters often forced into coal mine work camps.
C2: Free States of America (1855)
Already at odds with the greater number of slave states following the statehood of Sonora and Rio Grande, the introduction of a bill to permanently enshrine slavery in the Constitution finally pushed several northern states to secede. Northern industry meant a swift push to Washington and a quick end to the Civil War.
C3: The Pitt (2281)
With the Lone Wanderer's morally questionable choice to keep Ashur in power and continue forced labor within The Pitt, they allowed the city a chance to cure the contagion. In 2278, every laborer was declared a free man and The Pitt finally had its chance to expand. By 2281, Ashur's territory stretches from the ruins of Pittsburgh to Monroeville, and there are already whispers of a potential conflict with the Brotherhood of Steel.
C4: State of Westmoreland (1808)
The 1782 Decree of Trenton ruled in Connecticut's favor, with Westmoreland later voting to secede and become an independent state in 1808.
D1: Philadelphia, District of Columbia (1790)
Philadelphia was the obvious choice for the nation's capital, and its historical significance to the United States convinced the southern states to accept a northern city.
D2: Keystone Republic (1932)
Born out of the instability of the Great Depression, the Keystone Republic was a short lived movement styled after Benito Mussolini's March on Rome. Their own "March on Harrisburg" succeeded in controlling the state capital for five days before being suppressed by the 28th Infantry Division.
D3: Pennsylvanian Free State (1944)
Charles Lindbergh's isolationist policies may have won him the presidency, but it was his "fight the enemy within" initiatives that became his downfall. While groups sympathetic to the Allied cause were seen as heroes for ending the short civil war by parading Lindbergh's corpse through Washington, their proclamation of a Marxist people's state only further fueled the national turmoil. During the Pennsylvanian Free State's brief existence, it was primarily made up of Republican forces opposed to Fascist or Communist sympathetic groups and fought to restore the United States under its rightful democratic government.
D4: United Soviets of Pennsylvania (1923)
The Battle of Blair Mountain saw an explosion in workers' uprisings across the country, the most successful of which was the United Soviets of Pennsylvania. Originating in Pittsburgh, revolutionaries managed to seize much of the Pennsylvanian countryside before overthrowing the state legislature and establishing worker's councils based on those formed during the Russian Revolution.

I suddenly have inspiration. Does anyone have the original template for the 16 squares?
I'm a bit late to the party but here's my interpretation of Wyyt's 12 nations idea with Pennsylvania:
I haven't seen many 'so and so states/nation's in a while, new ones at least, so thanks for this one.
Wait, so is the air of Time Frozen South America permeable or no?
If it stops weather and sound, wouldnt it make all those frozen air molecules akin to a force field?
What about light and radiation? Do they pass through?
Haha no worries, if anything I should be apologizing to you since I only posted my map after your other French South Australia one! Love the atlas style with the pictures and flags!
France small
What's the logic of the border between "East India" and "West India"?
