How do you paint the borders so it didn't blotch everything (esp US internal borders)?
Paint can tool, if you're redrawing/recoloring borders, really carefully while zooming in with the pencil tool.

Flag of the United Kingdom of the Indian Raj. Following the end of the Indian Civil War and the downfall of the Princely Federation, the Dominion of India stabilized, preparing itself for a drawn out war with the Bharatiya Commune in Eastern India. Wth the rise of th CSA and the Annexation of Canada, the Monarchy fled to India and remained the Dominion as the United Kingdom of the Indian Raj. India also absorbed the Australasian Dominion Government in exile following the 1953 revolution. Following a major war in the 1960s and 70s with the Bharatiya Commune (with American support, including vast amounts of Combat troops) known as the South Asian War, the Raj took incredibly heavy losses, but managed to outlast American political will and defeat the Bharatiya Commune. Despite defeating the Commune, the Raj's immense casualties prevented it from completely destroying the Commune. However, the Raj annexed the Sub-Continental Regions of Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, and the Eastern Coastal Area of Andhra Pradesh from the Bharatiya Commune, causing the Raj to grow far larger in power. Both Indian nations modernized in the decades to come, but on far different levels of power. The Bharatiya Commune, while prosperous and a major world power, is locked in a defensive position with it's capitalist superpower twin and rival in the Indian Raj, which seeks to shake up the balance of power in the Capitalist Alliance. The United Kingdom of the Indian Raj is comprised of the Sub-Continental Regions of Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Himichal Pradesh, Punjab, Nepal, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Madya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Pakistan, Gujarat, Marharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. It is a prosperous nation with a strong welfare state and a large tourist industry, particularly in the Indian State of Kerala. It, strangely, allows citizens of the Syndicalist Internationale to travel to it's nation. The Capital of the Raj is Bangalore, and the U.K. Royal Family resides in Bangalore Palace. It's largest city is Mumbai, known as the financial and cultural capital of Southern Asia. The Raj also possesses one of the largest and strongest militaries in the world.
Flag of the Bharatiya Commune. Despite it's crushing defeat in the South Asia War (mainly due to American withdrawal of combat troops) the Bharatiya Commune is a strong, stable and prosperous nation, an island of Red in a vast supercontinent of Blue. Though it has issues with the Combined Syndicates of America due to it's withdrawal in the war, it remains a member of the Syndintern due to sheer survival instinct, as it's far more powerful Capitalist brother would surely stomp it into dust if the Commune ever showed weakness. The Commune is comprised of the states of Bihar, Jharkand, West Bengal, Sikkim, Bangaladesh, Tripura, Mitzoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh. It's Capital city is Calcutta. It's largest city is Dhaka. It possesses a strong, well trained military, though it pales in comparison to it's Capitalist Counterpart's.

21st Century Royal Indian Army soldiers training. The Royal Indian Army is a well trained, well equipped force, supplemented by mass conscription. Due to the Indian Raj's Giant Population, the Army stands currently at 15 million soldiers, making it the Second Largest Army in the World.

Bharatiyan People's Communal Army soldiers circa 21st Century. The BPCA are an incredibly well trained and well equipped force, but their numbers and resources pale in comparison to the Behemoth Royal Indian Army. It is due to this massive disproportion in military strength that the Commune Military focuses on defensive operations, with fortifications extending all along the DMZ.

Machine gun variant of the SA-41 assault rifle of the United States of America. Developed following the end of the second American Civil War by the Springfield Armory. The SA-41 made its mark during the reclaiming of Philippines for American forces and the liberation of the British home isles by mostly Canadian and Commonwealth forces. Both instances the SA-41 proved to be a deadly effective and reliable infantry weapons.

Average Automobile of the modern day United States of America. While the standard American design aesthetics of the USA has changed little in the last several decades. Thanks to American cultural and government inclination towards preserving "traditional" culture and American "normalcy". Though that hasn't stopped America from adopting the latest in modern technology. Even if it is heavily controlled on what is released to the civilian population. With this model being a hybrid electric/hydrogen car.
Michigan Unified Auto Workers' Union, Plant 1 Model 2017-101 Automobile "Compact Proletarian". Billed by the union leadership as a "Suitable compact for a worker on a space budget or a new union member", it lacks many of the electronics found in larger automobiles; windows must be hand-cranked up and down, and there is no GPS system pre-installed. The car is popular among families seeking to purchase a new car to get a newly adult child on their feet and set up with a union contract in an area far from home.
The unified auto workers' union congress of the PRUSA conventionally makes only one model in each size of car for each 5-year period; however, the 2017 updates were rushed to comply with People's Congress emissions requirements, updated as part of the PRUSA's movement into "Phase 3" of the Berlin climate protocols of 1999.
American Aviation Union HG-15 "Good Comrade". Designed by the Hughes-Gurevich design team, notable for being led by an ex-Pacific States citizen and a Russian refugee, the airplane was a revolutionary transsonic jet fighter first deployed in 1950. Shockingly fast and powerful, it easily overwhelmed all other aircraft, both piston-engined and jets with straight wings, available at the time during the Korean Revolt.
Later replaced by the upgraded HG-17 and HG-19, this airplane is the genesis of a widely successful family of American light fighters.
German Messerschmitt Bf-204 interceptor. A controversial design, this lightning-fast, futuristic plane was dangerously unstable and pulled after multiple pilot deaths. To this day, it is best known for early models falling out of the sky.
Communard La Patrie next-generation stealth fighter. Although Germany, with its tradition of technological supremacy and immense network of puppets and trading partners, and the PRUSA, with its vast budget and immense number of factories, currently lead the world in advanced fighter aircraft, the Commune of France is collaborating with the Union of Britain to produce a domestic alternative 'more suited to spreading Syndicalist Revolution in the changing strategic environment, with a special focus on the unique situation of those areas of operation frequented by Union and Commune air forces'.
German Tiger panzer in Ukraine during the Second Weltkrieg. The design was pulled in favor of Panther medium panzers after poor performance against Savinkov's forces; it proved a wise decision, as heavy tanks failed to prove an economically effective fighting force during the war.
PRUSA Medium Tank M-4 'Omar Bradley'. The tank was a revolutionary design that eventually led to the formation of the main battle tank concept, and was named after USA defector Omar Bradley, who had won respect from Syndicalist armies due to his honorable treatment of prisoners, care for avoiding civilian casualties, skill as a commander, and willingness to pursue Union State holdouts after the fall of Denver.
The M-4 easily overwhelmed outnumbered and outdated Canadian tank forces during the Liberation of Canada, playing a key role in the battles of Ottawa and Montreal. While replaced by the M-7, the world's first true MBT, in 1946, the design continued to be used by other nations, particularly Syndicalist Brazil, for decades, before being replaced in large part by M-7 and M-14 tanks. However, it is still used by the People's Republic of Bolivia in some mountain divisions with a reworked turret and new engine.

@Worffan101 so Omar Bradley is more than just a sub-par commander in your canon?
Historically he was a decent commander, sided with Truman against Dougie Mac when the latter decided that the best way to fight the Korean war was spreading his troops across the countryside and running straight for the Yalu so that they were a nice spread-out thin target for the PLA, did some decent work operationally despite a few fuckups in France (*cough* Huertgen *cough*). He worked as a boilermaker when he was younger so the Syndicalists might like him based on working-class roots and was a calmer guy than Patton in general. Yeah, he had shit relations with the Brits but that was because Monty was a total asshole to him in Christmas '44. He was no genius, his eye for men was mediocre (though he was smart enough to listen to lower-level commanders), but he wasn't as overrated as Patton is these days (I love Patton and all, but his style and abrasiveness were really bad in a high command role in an age where high commanders needed to politic as much as lead).
Basically, the guy who realizes that Dougie Mac is a prima donna and a martinet and goes over to the Syndicalists on the grounds that they've won the war and he'd rather fight for the US than Dougie MacArthur's ego.
Also, compared to the commanders the Syndicalists start with, Bradley is a distinctly superior commander.

Well, maybe sub-par is too harsh, but IMO Bradley would have been a better Corps Commander than an Army Group Commander. He was a great trainer of men and could sometimes choose his Officers wisely, but then again he bungled the closing of the Falaise Gap and was responsible for that Fuckwit Hodges and his meatgrinder at Hurtgen. Then again, he trusted the insticts of J. Lawton Collins, who was probably one of the best Corps Commanders in the entire war, bordering on Lt. General Level, so... It's really up for debate.
It's your canon, so more power to you, but I'll be focusing on a guy who I feel is better for the CSA overall: Jacob Devers, who probably would have been one of the highest-ranked commanders in the war had Eisenhower and him not butted heads every 5 minutes.
Bradley is much better than a ragtag group of paramilitary leaders and Low-Ranking Field Officers though.
Why did Devers and Ike butt heads, exactly? I know that Devers basically got sidelined and fucked over completely, but never heard what he did to earn that; did he piss on Ike's cat or something?

From what I've read, it was because Devers had a non-military like disposition that made higher officers disregard him, even though he was a major proponent of Combined Arms Warfare early on, and likely would have been a better commander than Patton (because, let's be honest, Patton was a great Lt. General but he was way too damn hard charging to be more than an Army Group Commander) because he knew how to reign it in. I think Ike didn't like him because he disobeyed superiors (pushing the Sherman) and the fact that Ike knew he didn't agree with his Western European strategy.
Various homemade machine-pistols employed in the Second American Civil War.Easily manufactured with basic machining tools,scrap metals & lead pipe,they were often employed in street battles in cities such as Pittsburgh,Richmond and Atlanta.Although highly unreliable,they were a welcome addition compared to rifles in urban fighting.

South Asian War Post. War Heroes and Generals to come later.
Old and Current models of the Colt AR10 combat rifle, the main rifle platform of the International Revolutionary Defense Forces. The AR10, introduced in 1956, used an innovative straight-line barrel/stock design with phenolic composite and forged alloy parts resulting in a small arm significantly easier to control in automatic fire and over 1 pound lighter than other infantry rifles of the day. Chambered in .308 Winchester, sporting a 20 round detachable box magazine, and sporting a rotating bolt mechanism, the AR10 platform continues to see widespread service in American, Mexican, and Australian Military services, with the current model (shown above) being the AR10 Mark V.
Colt 1962 Machine Gun Mark 1 and Mark 3. The Colt 1962 Machine Gun was a good, reliable weapon, it's design derived from the revolutionary Colt 1944 Machine Gun. Chambered in .308 Winchester instead of 8mm Colt, sporting a rate of fire of 1000 rounds per minute, and equipped with a 250 round belt (in the 21st century, a high capacity Drum Magazine) the MG3 wreaked frightful havoc on the enemies of the CSA, particularly in the South Asian War.
Revolutionary Marines, battle of Dehli, 1971. The battle of Dehli city, part of the 1971 Diwali Offensive, was a crushing Syndicalist Victory, but a bitter political defeat, with the war's popularity growing weaker by the day.
Revolutionary Marines, siege of IRMC base Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, 1969.
Famous photo of Revolutionary Army soldiers on patrol in Andhara Pradesh, 1972.
Royal Indian Army soldiers circa 1968. The Royal Indian Army was the main opponent of the IRDF and the Bharatiyan Communal Army during the War. Their guerrilla forces were among the most dangerous soldiers in the war.
Bharyatian Communal Army soldiers circa 1970. The Communal Army was laxking in skill but made up for it in sheer discipline and American military aid.
Remaining American non-combat personnel evacuate the city of Lucknow during the Raj's victory offensive, the last major battle of the South Asian War. The South Asian War would be remembered as a terrible defeat to the political will of the American people and the Internationale, as well as a source of Revanchism for the people of the Bharatyita Commune.
