Everything else could be explained somehow... but why are so different parts of NA like Texas, the farm belt and New England happy together in one state / confederation, if the Rust belt is independent, and why isn't Texas in the CSA?

Blame the fact that the original poster is unoriginal and follows te thousands of other people who do pointless balkanized north america maps.
 
I see, as usual, despite the weirdest US I have ever seen, the Mormons pull through.

If there is an ATL US that is weaker than OTL, then there will be Deseret. I think there's a trasndimensional Mormon conspiracy behind this... (Even though with many PODs Mormonism may well be butterflied out of existence)
 
thanks i really appericate the comments, unorginal, high, drunk, ect are really great to give someone...
 
Lesse, a Quebec that has Maine, a US that has areas like L+N, NY, Texas and several mexican states, and Oregon but not Cali, Washington, Utah and the deep South.

Canada without Quebec but still being able to get Washington(exactly along state lines) and parts of other states.

I can get Aragon and Navarre to plausibly reappear with a POD in 1798 but this is just nuts.

You kept far too many straight line borders, which suggest a PoD of 19th century or later, but present a geopolitical situation that is simply not viable from that period.

Don't blame them for pointing that out.
 
granted i didn't put a lot of thought into the map (and i'll execpt that as a critizium) i was just messing around and probably should have put it into the after 1900 froum to make it a lest a little more plausable but to sit there and call me high or drunk or totaly unorginal (yes the balkanizing of the US is unorginal but the map it's self isn't) was uncalled forNAdivided2.GIF here is a map that is proably more realisitic

I wouldn't call it uncalled for.

How do you explain the light-blue monstrosity?

Here's a friendly suggestion: stop smoking crack before making your maps. That would makr them be somewhat plausible.
 
I find it somewhat implausible that the blue nation could survive with what's basically the majority of it's land as an exclave (It's got a tiny little border with the rest of the country that's really just river)
 
you know...forget that i even posted the stupid thing, i've seen a lot crappier maps on here that people have resonded better too than this one, and Straha quit being an ass, i'm trying to have some fun and you guys aren't letting that happen.

THe implausibility of the light blue nation is the one big flaw. If you'd just fix that flaw there wouldn't be anything to complain about.

I think it has potential. If you don't mind, I edited it, just a tad.

I'd say the PoD is the French & Indian War. Make the French colonies last, and have a Spanish & Indian War (i.e. Britain vs. Spain) later on.
