imgur.comThe US and Canada broken into ten nations after some global war, likely due to resource shortages. The borders are shown just a few years after this event and are by no means stable. Many states remain contentious battlegrounds, either as boundaries are disputed or forces advance into enemy territory - including upstate New York, claimed by every adjacent nation, although the city itself remains a well-guarded centre of culture and government in the East.
Fledgling alliances like those between Dixie and the Interior US, or Great Plains and UGLH (commonly "Canada") are an attempt to quell the violence, but loyalties are fleeting. Colorado, between the two most territorial and warmongering nations in NA (Great Plains and Texlahoma) has been the site of violent uprisings and bids for independence. Rhode Island has been suggested as a sort of buffer zone between Atlantic US and Laurentia, under the name Providence.
Florida and the Isles has made unsupported claims on all islands in the Caribbean and all former US territories.

What is Lauretania?

My guess would be the area surrounding the St. Lawrence River.

But why would it exist as a political entity?

Why would any of these things exist as political entities?

That's what I'm asking.

I have a proposal. Every NA map that contains the word "Cascadia" or an entity that looks like "Cascadia" should either be immediatelly up voted to the best-est super greatest YUUUUGE submission, or burnt, hung and quartered.

So, what's the verdict? Upvoted or executed?
2
yes

Executed.
You cut off the last bit of text in your key. That's execution-worthy.

Balkanized nation and still Puerto Rico cannot into independence.

To be fair, the Balkan States have borders that reflect the old Yugoslav republics.
Then the countries here should have the borders of some 13 colonies.
Am I right, Flameo?
I don't follow.
Yeah, but the old Yugoslav republics were shaped like that because they were based on earlier nations.
I found a cool tool called mapchart, which lets you colour the states and provinces of various nations, and I wanted to test it out. Can you blame me? No! Can you blame me for posting it to this subreddit? Yes, most definitely.
You have been blamed
I feel like if North America really were to split up, it would mostly be along state and other governmental lines. Sure, there'd be exceptions, but keeping the original government infrastructure as intact as possible seems more likely than just random lines.
