Mundus Novus (Map Game)

Welcome to Mundus Novus (New World), a universe in which the Americas is the most advanced continent on the globe, and the leader in global colonization.

It is the year 1492, and the first successful expedition to the east (OTL Iberia) has returned, sparking interest in more voyages. Along the eastern coast, merchant republics such as Chesapeake prosper, and become the center of the great artist, cultural, and literary rebirth movement. The great kingdoms of the Cherokee, Shawnee, Delaware, and others, dominate the region, while the relatively new Iroquois Confederacy rapidly is on the rise. The ancient and prestigious empire of Cahokie, which once dominated all of the Mississippi River, remains resolute and influential, despite the emperor losing land to breakaway states and vassals.

The central plains, which serve as highways of trade between east and west, have become chaotic from the rise of the Great Sioux Empire, the Shoshone Empire, and other powerful states, prompting the east coast to search by sea for a route to the other side of the continent. The Holy Western Empire, now largely fragmented into dozens of smaller states, controls the western coast, along with the Salish Empire. The Aztecs dominate the Valley of Mexico, rapidly uniting the region, and exporting its culture and religion north toward the plains and deserts. The Mayans under the hegemony of Mayapan remain loosely united, and strong trading partners to the many island empires of the Caribbean. In the southern continent, the Inca have become the dominant power, however, the Muisca control the lands to their north, followed by the powerful Arawak Empire and the Tupi of the Amazon.
