Found on reddit, likely made by a lib but the regions are more sensical than current state and country borders. Countries are based on a bioregion, or close to it, in addition to a more regional culture.

Where would you like to live? Assume every region is 100% socialist already (yes including the laughably named Reagan and Roosevelt).

    Nah, not enough random straight lines that divide major cultural groups in three.

    Why do americans keep making future maps where they take more territory from mexico, they already took half the country in the past, as for the balkanized US map i think its good, i always thought dividing the US by State lines was bad, and regions should be the division.

    as to where i would like to live, i guess either Rio Bravo, Cortez (this is a bad name by the way), Cibola or Alta California, i imagine they are the closes to Mexico

      Dunno, comrade. At least in this one the guy had an excuse that he was focusing on divisions based on watersheds, lol.

    I'm a fan of any US balkanization map that doesn't have Denver and Salt Lake City in the same country. The Rockies are really like a damn ocean, SLC is way more connected to Vegas and Phoenix than to Denver, IMO.

    The capital of Alta CA is Irvine ? Maybe the most boring and sterile city I've ever been to. I guess that's appropriate for a capital

      Moncton is the at the geographic center of the marines. At least, according to what some person from moncton told me.

    New York’s Southern Tier has nothing in common with Baltimore or DC. This hurts.

    This is far better than most for AZ at least. People really underestimate the Colorado Plateau and the divide it causes north to south. It is enough of a geographical barrier that Flagstaff should always be considered separate from the rest of the state in a balkanization event. The rural areas on top of the plateau also mean it could end up anywhere politically though

    Really confused as to why Alta California uses the flag of LA as its inspiration, yet Irvine is the capital. There's no way the Irvine company would go for that, much less the rest of the richer parts of OC and San Diego

      I wish one of you nerds would overlay this balkanized US with the first nation territories to see how accurate this is

      I really hope that in the future if (when) the US gets balkanized the various indigenous tribes gets to be senior partners in the division and any successor nations or get a complete opt out if they want it.

    There is also an alternative New England flag where it's red with a white canton and pine tree because the puritans were pernickity about crosses being used on flags.
    ...don't ask why I know this.

    There needs to be a country here that is ruled by an oil baron, except instead of oil it's maple syrup and all of Quebec, New Brunswick, Vermont, Maine and parts of New York join together to control like....over 90% of the world's maple syrup supply.
