Description
UTC-05:00Territories transported: Canada (most of Nunavut, Ontario and Quebec), United States (Atlantic and east Great Lakes states), Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands, Haiti, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Mexico (Quintana Roo), Panama, Colombia, Ecuador (exc. GalΓ‘pagos Islands), Brazil (Acre, western Amazonas), Peru
For many years following the Event, experts (academic and armchair alike) predicted the imminent dissolution of Canada as Anglophone Ontario and Francophone Quebec pulled in opposite directions. However disputes over Nunavut and the newly settled territories blocked any mutually agreed separation arrangement, and one new English- and French-speaking provinces were admitted, the issue was muddied. Instead the Canadian Confederation was loosened into a three-part realm of Anglo, French and Inuit Canada, with the European provinces and territories becoming the fourth part a few decades later.
In contrast to Canada's difficulties, the United States saw the opportunities a new Wild West (minus the native Americans) presented, quickly expanding and creating new territories, states and autonomous republics along the way. While most Americans threw themselves into "Making America Again" (later extended to the whole world), some academics and government officials couldn't help questioning what the Event actually was and whether there was evidence waiting in wilderness? Such esoteric wondering didn't bother others though, as Quintana Roo developed and expanded its Mayan Riviera (while simultaneously pushing out actual Mayans), Panama set about digging a new, bigger and better canal, and billionaires, island nations and eccentrics alike staked their claims to the hundreds of desert islands in the Caribbean.
While the United States was the unquestioned global power, in South America Colombia emerged as the leading regional power, intervening in Ecuador, central America and Acre (multiple times) to stabilise the region while pushing forward its own boundaries first to oil-rich Lake Maracaibo, then further along the Caribbean coast, into the Amazon and, albeit not yet successfully, across the Atlantic to Africa.
