Fun! It's hilarious to me that Lincolnia and CoCaro are likely to have the same attitudes toward aspects of Sexual Marxism but will also be equally unable to say anything to Phil-del about itFUTURE MADNESS/PREDICTED MADNESS

The Union of Lincolnia is the Black Man's Republican Paradise. Initially founded during the Scramble for Africa, the first Republic was short-lived after an insane President attempted to throw off traditional AFC in favor of a Fundie-Muslim fusion faith. After a long spell under direct rule from Philadelphia, Joe Steele gave Lincolnia independence again under the leadership of George Washington Carver and his son Praise-God Carver. About 600,000 Latin American "Pure Blacks" were given citizenship and settled in Lincolnia as a reward for their collaboration with American authorities. They were obviously made to convert and adapt African American culture. Over 1 million Black Carolinians, specifically those of old slave stock, were deported from Carolinian Africa to Lincolnia from '46-'50, and another 389,000 would follow by '55. They were granted full citizenship and allowed to practice their ancient Protestant faiths, which were heavily Presbyterian by this point. With such a massive influx of citizens, alongside some 450,000 Black Americans, land began to run out. Some small pieces of Europan Africa were torn off as the Empire struggled with various crises. It was not enough. The godsend came in '53. Mittelafrika, after beating the odds for a generation, collapsed into chaos. American and Lincolnian troops swarmed in to "restore order," seizing some extremely valuable land. However, the Cokies took the lion's share, to the disappointment of the Lincolnians. Lincolnian colonization quickly became genocidal, as natives were slaughtered by the million to provide a high standard of living for the new elite. After all, "skinfolk ain't kinfolk."
Upon Joe Steele's death, Lincolnia scored even more autonomy from Philly, really flexing muscle as an independent power. Praise-God Carver took over for his ancient father in '56 and kept Lincolnia on a more Steelist path than NUSA, although plenty of Oswaldian reforms were implemented. However, Lincolnia would remain more conservative than most of the non-Presbyterian Free World, probably in no small part thanks to the large contingent of non-Fundie Protestants in the country. During the Oswald era Lincolnia has fended off Europan incursions (and taken a little more land for their trouble) while also contributing thousands of troops to operations in South America. Beyond that, Lincolnia remains eternally wary of the Confederation of the Carolinas and its gargantuan African empire, and the two powers exist in an uneasy synergy. About their only point of agreement is the continued deportation of Black people of Carolinian stock, as it gives the Carolinas good PR while getting rid of a population that Carolina no longer needs for labor. Beyond this contentious relationship, and some cold feelings against the Coreans (who inherited their progenitor's attitude towards Black people), Lincolnia is on solid ground with the rest of the Free World, particularly NUSA. Lincolnia is eyeing the ailing Europan Empire with hungry eyes, hoping to claim swathes of North Africa out of the eventual rubble and block further expansion by the Cokies.
Lincolnia is very homogenous among its Better population, which is 97% "Black Betters," overwhelmingly of old slave stock from the South, Caribbean, and Latin America. However, approximately 10% of the Black population is composed of locals who were "discovered" to have "Pinnacle Blood," predominantly those who came from old ethnic groups that were useful to the Lincolnian government. Very little of their cultures survive, but they and their descendants will live in comfort. The remaining 3% are mostly American troops and expats, overwhelmingly Nordic or Anglo-Saxon in stock (very few Germans though). Betters compose about 32% of Lincolnia's population. The remaining 68% of the country is "Pygmy Infee," Native Africans who have been put to work as domestic laborers and corporate/government slave labor. An estimated 750,000 Infees a year are sold to the Cokies to sustain their brutal meat grinder African colonies, despite Lincolnia's public disdain for the "crackers." Lincolnian "New Slavery" is slightly better, but is still slaughtering native Africans at an extraordinary rate. Justifying this is propaganda proclaiming that the "Pygmies" are the descendants of those groups that sold the Black Betters into slavery. Colonization is proceeding rapidly, and many believe the interior will be tamed within a generation. Thanks to its massive mineral deposits and abundant labor, Lincolnia is one of the richest members of the Free World, and Cokie officials have been embarrassed by the fact that many Lincolnians live better than quite a few of Carolina's redneck settlers in Africa.
Culturally, Lincolnia is the specific product of Black American and Better culture. AFC churches here only play Black spirituals, work along the lines of traditional Black churches, and proclaim the gospel of Black Excellence as they vow to overspread "much" of the African continent (can't piss of the Cokies). The radio plays the blues, jazz, and gospel music performed by Black performers and soul food rules the tables of Lincolnian families. They even have their own fast food chain, Mama Mabel's Quik-N-Eze, serving up fried chicken, chitlins, collards, and other soul food staples. There is a massive amount of pride in the "legendary endurance" of the Black Race, which is alleged to have been forged into a race of Christian Warriors in the crucible of "Satanic Slavery." While other Betters are respected, the Black race is held up as uniquely chosen and powerful.

Oh they are. Besides, your map making skills outclass mine in every way; it gives a whole new perspective to the potential future of WMIT. Hopefully with our combined crazy ideas we can keep this thread going until Napo comes back from the dead.
Waiting to see what the Indonesian, indian and south Asian governments look like in the protracted struggle. I am thinking various one party and military juntas States.
Say, @Scrivener , did Lincolnia existed at one point before Draka conquered the entirety of Africa?
Late reply, but yes. However Lincolnia was back then a backwater outpost, and was eventually sold to the Draka during the Great War, as the RU had gained several European allies and acquired some Atlantic islands in order to cement their dominance in the Atlantic.
I tried to convert these ideas to WorldA format, but honestly it became too awful to contemplate after a while.

I'm off to make a map of a Brazilian Mexican Cold-War where Africa and India are never colonized if anyone needs me.
Hey man, this is great! Is it alright if I add captions to it?
Send me a link, I think we all honestly need a break from dystopia lol
That's a very well-done map. Looking forward to seeing other versions of this map
Do we know anything about CoCaro's token political opposition? What are they composed of, ideology, candidates, etc.
Same with CoCorea, if it has an opposition too.

The Empire of India in 1966 was a collapsing hulk of a state, ruled by the remains of the decaying Bonaparte monarchy that had fled to India after the Second World War. India by this point was constantly being rocked by rebellions and protests, as the various ethnicities oppressed under the Bonaparte military junta began to stand up for themselves and took up arms against the state. Despite the best efforts of Emperor Napoleon V to repress nationalism and keep the population uneducated in comparison to the Europan ruling class, millions of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Illuminists, Egoists, and even some third-way Fascists flocked to the banner of self-determination. India was about to explode, and every one of its neighbors knew it.
It was in early 1967 that President Oswald's advisors advised him to undertake a few small "security operations" in India in order to "further our goals for total World American Domination". Oswald being Oswald, expanded the scope of what his advisors and Nixon had told him to an operation of massive proportions. The NUSA 3rd Special Forces Group would be heading into combat in India to take down one of the last voices calling for peace in India, a Hindu peace figure named Nathuram Godse. With the elimination of one of the largest pro-peace and reconciliation factions in India, the Europan monarchy would quickly fall and the Indian Peninsula would descend into civil war, allowing the NUSA (and its allies) to swoop in and annex large portions of India by force, relegating the Domination to mere scraps in the West. The NUSA would gain a massive new workforce of Inferiors, the armed forces would be tested for the first time in nearly twenty years, and more land would be added to Oswald's burgeoning empire.
Operation Manifestum began on September 3rd, 1967, as a commando team consisting of 10 men infiltrated India and the city of New Delhi. Presenting to be low-class refugees from Draka-occupied Europe, the group gathered in a cheap motel in the outskirts of Delhi and began equipping themselves with an arsenal of submachine guns, semi-automatic pistols, knives, and even mortars, light explosives, and a grenade launcher. The NUSA 3rd Special Forces Group was the best of the best. specializing in deep operations and extensively trained in order to reach the physical limits of the human body, with strength rivaling that of elite Draka Citizen soldiers. Nothing in India, not the Europan guards, the Indian paramilitary forces, could stand in their way.
On September 6th, 1967, Nathuram Godse and a number of his followers came out onto the streets of Delhi in order to begin their daily food drive for the poor. Surrounding him were several Hindu and Muslim students, who had united to make a statement of solidarity against Europan rule. By 9:00 AM, the group had arrived at their small stall in the urban sprawl of Delhi and began serving the long line of people who had gathered in front of Godse's food drive with free soup and bread. By 9:35, the street they were on was packed to the brim with a massive crowd of people, clamoring for food to feed their families. In the crowd was the 3rd Special Forces, each of them grasping concealed weapons underneath their shirts and jackets. They slowly approached Godse, one of them slowly pulling out a MAC-11 machine pistol. A few students noticed them and started moving to intercept, but they were too late; the leader had come within 10 meters of Godse, and was in range.
Shouts and struggles came from behind. He pulled out his pistol and aimed down the sights. A trigger was pulled and-
DAKKA-DAKKA-DAKKA!
The leader blinked in shock as Godse dropped dead in front of him; yet the gun he held in his hands hadn't even had the trigger pulled down yet. Whirling around to the right of him, he saw the culprit; a white male in his 30s, wielding a Holbars M-11 sub-automatic machine gun pointing it at Godse's body. The Snakes! he thought, as he brought the gun whirling around to point at the Draka officer. Heh. Well, our goal's been accomplished, so why not have a little fun?
He pulled the trigger.
The resulting gun battle between the Draka and American forces in the streets resulted in over 39 native civilians dead and over 94 wounded from shrapnel and stray bullets. All the cards were pulled out, as the two groups who ironically had the same goal clashed violently in the city of Delhi. Grenades, light explosives, machine guns, mortars, everything was used by both sides in order to eliminate the other. By the time the dust settled, chaos reigned in the streets of Delhi, both special forces teams were escaping over the border into their respective states, and Hindus and Muslims were blaming each other for the massacre that had happened. The Europan military junta was scrambling to reassume control over the state, but the news had already spread all across the Indian peninsula. Things came to a head, Muslims and Hindu paramilitary groups fought in the streets, and by January 3rd, 1968, the Indian Collapse had begun in earnest, as Hindus and Muslims seized control over various provinces and princely states and began declaring their own nation-states.
The Domination and the NUSA by this point were once again at the precipice of total war. Archon Palme and President Oswald were infuriated at the Battle of Delhi, and both of them considered the clash as a stain on their honor. The NUSA and the Domination were chomping on the bit to stick each other in the eye, and their violent fantasies would be made manifest in India. As the Europan leadership was overthrown, Oswald in early February suddenly announced the launching of a "security operation" in India, spearheaded by the Islamic Union of Indonesia and the New United States in order to affirm their friendship and cooperation with their Indonesian allies (which many secretly despised). On the 27th, Indonesian and American forces came roaring into India through Bengal. The N.U.S.S Sunstone supercarrier along with a host of other ships began bombarding the southern cone of Ceylon, and ORRA marines stormed the beaches of Tamil Nadu. Their goal? Madurai.
The Draka were not to be outdone. Two days after the initial American-Indonesian invasion, the Draka Citizen Force came rushing through former Persia to stab deep into India. Spearheaded by Arch-Stratagos Eric von Shrakenberg and his legions of Hond-V tanks, the Draka burned and slaughtered their way through Western India, determined to claim as much territory as possible before the NUSA could reach it. All the while, native Muslims and Hindus put aside their differences and began fighting back alongside remaining Europan forces; yet it was not enough. Total conquest was imminent, and many knew what was coming. In the simplest terms, genocide and slaughter followed the path of the American and Draka legions, on a scale that cannot be described. The Draka impaled thousands of "feral serfs" that refused to bow under the Yoke, the Americans began utilizing nerve gas on many southern Indian cities, and Indonesian forces quite literally pushed millions of Hindus into the sea with weights chained to their ankles and children handcuffed to their parents. If the concept of the gentleman soldier hadn't been destroyed in the Second World War, the Scramble for India absolutely tore it to shreds.
By 1969, the Scramble for India was nearly wrapped up. NUSA and Domination forces had met in central India (and had nearly come to blows over territorial divisions), and the slow slog of consolidation was being undertaken. Out of a population of nearly 520 million in 1967, only 346 million remained after starvation and war. By the '80s, the only remaining Indians would be those enserfed in Draka-occupied India; the rest had been completely purified of Inferiors. Russia and China looked on in fear at the chaos and genocidal fury that had been unleashed. And yet, both powers were still hungry for more...

I'm thinking about making a post about WMIT 1.0's post-nuclear war Federated Empire of the Americas. Of course, being a post-apocalyptic wasteland the Empire doesn't completely control all of America but rather manages its territories similar to how the Spanish managed their immense American colonial territories.
I may also make the Empire an actual progressive post-racial constitutional monarchy managed under Phillip McCoy and a prime minister. God knows the world of 1.0 needs something uplifting after the fall of NUSA.

I actually started (though never finished) a map about the world long after WMIT 1.0 ended.
I like to believe that things did get better after the nuclear war. Not perfect, but better.
