Updated map with fixed capitals

First map in a series called Whalefall, the plot is basically that in the mid 2020s the USA collapses hard, sparks a chain of events that drags most other nations into civil wars, and is reunited by communists, but only after fighting reduces almost all cities to rubble. In universe, the map in question is made by the International Socialist Federation, the successor to the UN. Most nations in it don't go through nearly as much as the FAC does, however. More details are in the map text.

    what's the story with the cities Camp Joy, Camp Spirit, and Camp Hope in the Kentucky / southern Ohio and Indiana area? the optimistic, military flavor feels like places founded/renamed during stuggle, maybe a Long March analogue through the Midwest or Appalachia?

    edit: wanted to add I like a lot of your choices for new toponyms, like Houston being changed to Bayouville so as not to be named for shithead settler Sam Houston and Indianapolis Columbus being named for Iroquois leader Hiawatha.

      They were founded as refugee camps for people fleeing the failed invasion of the midwest by the cult in the south. Despite the very happy-sounding names, they have the worst living conditions in even a country as abysmal to live in as Anowara, with many people sleeping in troughs without even makeshift roofs.

      Edit: Indianapolis was renamed after Tecumseh, you’re thinking of Columbus.
