well alot of those cities you mention are visible in the screenshot, so there is a great teaser (remember, cities that look green or red are american, because it is the active civ during the picture)
Detroit and New orleans i gave to the rebels. I also gave them New york and a bunch of Western cities too. and they get the southern half of alaska, making for a great northern battle.

Well, Detroit should have
lol
So, the rebels have New Orleans?
If I recall correctly, the rebels own New Orleans due to anger at the government for inadequacy in Katrina aid.

unfortunately i cant figure out how to make the territory i set in the map editor to stay under the specific civ's. when i reload the map, the territories are reset 
Thanks Garret, and the map is pretty useful, but what I meant was, how did you decide which cities were going to rebel and so on?
Edit: also, are you going to have an 'international' type scheme (like the Spain 1936 mod) whereby groups can receive reinforcements from other countries? And are you going to allow situations where a city will revolt and join the other side, for example if they have the wrong ideology and unhappy and so on? It might make 'missionaries' more important. Perhaps ordinary troops for the rebels could have a chance of spreading their ideology to cities they capture?
Edit2: Yeah, I found that when I was playing around with things. My only suggestion is to fiddle with the cities and get the cultural boundaries to be set roughly right.
Edit3: I suggested this for another mod, I think, but it could also work here, if you can do it. I think that territory should be gained and lost according to where units move. So if I move tanks towards an enemy city, every tile they cross will become my culture, for a limited time.

some of those suggestions will take more SDK work than i will be able to get done. all core changes will be done by Dale, with his DCM. but this wont happen till the mod is done, he will just add to it.
I will need either an event hack to make units appear from other countries, or some python from Fabrysse.

One thing that has thus far been neglected about this mod's development, is the use of quotes for technologies. In the last version all had the same quotes, but providing some new ones unique to this mod would give it a lot of character. Here's some that I think could work.
"Those who betray their leaders are lower than garbage, but those betray their peers are even lower than that!"--Kakashi
"If a man says he wants freedom and in the very next sentence says what he won't do to get it, he doesn't want freedom."--Malcolm X
"There's no justice like angry-mob justice!"--Clancy Wiggum
"Voting machines are known to be highly defective. AK-47s are known to be highly reliable. Do the math."--Bahmo
Also, Bush looks like he's stifling a fart for the press in that screenie.

Right, so could you please put my AK-47 quote for one of them?
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
"If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?" - Joan Baez
"The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one." - Albert Einstein
"If goods don't cross borders, armies will." - Frédéric Bastiat
"Projectile - n. the final arbiter in international disputes. Formerly these disputes were resolved by physical contact of the disputants with such arguments as the rudimentary logic of the times would supply - sword, spear, and so forth. With the growth of prudence in military affairs the projectile came more and more into favor, and is now held in high esteem by all. Its capital defect has been that it requires personal attendance at the point of launch." - Ambrose Bierce
