Talk:States of America 5 (Map Game)

Map
This is my best guess. As for the territories, depends on how bad the war was and how bad the government is failing.

In this timeline, since Lincoln dies of pneumonia, that means he would be suceeded by Hannibal Hamlin, who was very radical and whose leadership may have meant the war dragging on longer. Again, depends when Lincoln dies.



Nations other than the former United States?
Can we play as nations other than in the former United States? I'm asking because it says Qeubec, so I just want to be sure. Monster Pumpkin 22:09, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I think that Canada would stay intact, but the Québécois Separatist Movement might work in this world, since after all they might want to join one of the new state unions. I dunno, just make Quebec separate. MattiasWestby 01:09, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

I think the New England states should be a seperate nation, especially since Octiman10 signed up as "Northeastern Union." Where do you think that would be? Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 01:21, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

If you want, i can switch it from north east to new england. octiman10 01:23, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

I think New England is currently in the Great Lakes Union. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 01:31, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Country Names
Can we change the names of our countries? Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 01:31, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely, but choose good names. MattiasWestby 16:00, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. And just for Octiman's sake, I'll give up the New England states so he can play. I think I'll cede some other ones too to make room for more players. :) Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 17:55, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

thanks dude, octiman10 01:15, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Communism?
Wait a minute. Why would Virginia be communist? And if the CSA just formed, why would the Carolinas and Virginia secede? Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 18:00, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

They didn't seceed. The CSA and USA fell apart. Now, all that is left of the CSA is Florida, and most of it's territories are narrowly held together by a failing Union. So the CSA is not doing well, but things are going better than in the former USA. Also, I don't know why i made Virginia communist, it just is. MattiasWestby 19:45, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

The Central States
Just wondering about the states in the middle - maye they could be some sort of "Lesser America" that is more or less a smaller, more intact version of the former USA? SPQR 17:44, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
