Anyway, here's North America after the end of the Second Great War (Kaiserreich universe), in which the Combined Syndicates of America as the last member of the Syndicalist Internationale was defeated by the German-led European alliance and the (completely democratic!)

Industrial, administrative, and spiritual centres of Reed's Totalist regime, had to be destroyed.

I'm going to guess that afon is related to avon and abhainn (modern Irish for river)

Jokes aside, it's interesting to see how cartography reflects shifts in power through time.

Take the Times Atlas of the World, for instance.

1935

1967

1995

2007

Without a shadow of a doubt power is shifting east.

That map DOES realise that canals aren't rivers, right? Right?

Haha, point taken. They'd have come around on their own eventually though

Wikipedia tells me most online mapping services use a variant of the Mercator though
