    I like how this map completely ignores natural features for borders and just has straight lines. Also, Seattle on the Kitsap Peninsula lol.

      I think it’s meant to be an alternate history where the US never annexed Mexico, and the South didn’t lose the civil war

      Also, a USSA would absolutely force the city of Columbus to rename.

      They're probably in semi-autonomous enclaves, similar to how the Soviet Union ended up convincing geographically-concentrated ethnic minorities to join.

    Why would the confederates be free and also own the Caribbean?

    Also lol at Irish being an official language

      It's the other way round. The Caribbean owns the south after a revolution/war of liberation.

      Looks like a timeline where the Confederacy stayed independent from the Union, then a worker- and slave- led revolution abolished slavery and then capitalism within a short period (similar to Russia's February and October revolutions).

      The POD is apparently 1821, when Mexico won the Mexican-American war, and a wave of revolution breaks out after WWI. So I guess they did at some point.

      And New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and PEI. But Quebec seems to have a clear border with the ROC so there's still hope.

    Support for the people of the Maritimes in their struggle against URA imperialism

      If the rest of Canada is still under capitalist control, I promise you the Maritime workers would likely be among the first to want to join a socialist United States (or at the very least join up as a semi-independent member of the same bloc).

        Oh trust I know all about the Irvings lol, I just imagine that an independent Newfoundland and Maritimes would be more likely than them joining the US (especially Newfoundland).

    So uh...what the hell is going on with Canada? It's kind of surprising to see the very unnatural 49th parallel part of the US-Canada border remain untouched when the URA ended up picking up the Maritime provinces. What's preventing revolution from spreading to the rest of Canada? Why isn't Quebec of all provinces not on board with the revolution when the Indigenous peoples south of the Canada border clearly were?
