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.

    Nukes in the Southeast alone could make up a solid portion of that figure, that's absolutely catastrophic to have a Chernobyl-like environment the whole area from Miami to the edges of Missouri and West Virginia. there's about 57.46 million people currently living in that space from my rough calculation of adding state population totals. the borders of the exclusion zone naturally don't follow state borders exactly, but it only goes a little past their edges, so if you took, say, 60 million: easily half of that could die in an initial nuclear impact, and many more of starvation after.
