Point is, you could do the same thing with a much smaller map, and you could take less time to do it, too. I know I, as a NES mod, don't much like having to deal with huge filesizes, especially when they don't really convey much of interest, and I especially don't like having to deal with them if the plans are utterly superfluous (made irrelevant by the actions of the enemy, for instance).

Of course. But the thing is that using less pics, that is zooming less in, doesn't give me roads or important cities as I want them. Thanks, you gave me an idea to solve the size problem.

I agree with Dachs on that one, huge filesizes can be tiresome, the map was not overly detailed or textured. It could've easily been much smaller.

No it doesn't. Uesei (pronounced you-say) covers most of North America's temperate forest zone (where traditional agriculture is viable), with the exception of the French-speaking kingdom in the north and some Texan territories. However, it's nothing like an united, centralized state. It resembles more the late-medieval Holy Roman Empire, meaning it is very fragmented, decentralized, with Presidents holding very little actual power over the constituent states.

Where's Albuquerque? And do you really think Arizona can survive on its own with five million people and food mainly coming from exports?

I seriously doubt there are 5 million people living there. Try about 1/10th of that number. The state lives off West Coast-East Coast trade, mostly. It's not important enough for the rulers of either Kalifornia or Texas to bother conquering it, and it is kept busy by the uncivilized northern/southern tribes that occasionally raid it.

4 million people live in the Phoenix metro alone.

Lived. This is a post-industrial world. I'd say there are about 40 million people living in the area of the former US. Phoenix metro is a ruin in the middle of the desert, with a few forts and small towns spread over it.

Oh hey, I made a map like that about a year or two ago.
It's hella messy and I never bothered to finish it.

Very nice, what's the story behind it?
No idea
I just decided one day to make a map about a divided US, with the inspiration being that instead of dividing into massive blobs like most altered maps of the US do, to instead make a bunch of smaller, HRE, style countries. Hence the onslaught of colors and enclaves across the map.
I'll finish it one of these days, clean it up and make a backstory. Maybe if I'm sufficiently bored tomorrow I'll do it.
