SkunkyArt | RvBOMally — Yankee Spring Draft

A rump USA (here, called the Federal States of America), naturally led by a Putin expy. Has a few unrecognized "Yankee" statelets, like Delmarva and parts of Kentucky and Missouri, as something like Abkhazia or South Ossetia. Also has New Orleans (possibly renamed) as an obvious Kaliningrad expy, and because it's likely that the Americans would want to keep the mouth of the Mississippi at all costs and ship a lot of Americans down there. I don't see any parts of the pre-FGW United States breaking away (except for Deseret).

A Remembrance state in West Virginia or somesuch, playing the role of Transnistria.

An "Appalachian" state, composed primarily of Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Really poor.

Texas, minus the state of Houston, which remains in the Union. Possibly lost some territories to former Confederate Mexico, but not Mexico itself.

A rump CSA. A bit of an infamous state given Featherston (who is used often enough in lazy political argumentation that it has its own law) and the post-USA wars in the 1990s.

Several black republics, mostly in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas, which were "autonomous areas" established post-war (American occupation forces wanted to keep blacks safe and away from white Southerners). Terribly poor, and have exchanged territory with the surrounding CSA. [I got rid of this after a poster pointed out that most blacks had been exterminated, and those that were left moved to Liberia or Haiti, and that those that remain would not be in the South]

Former Confederate Mexico. Some talk of reunification with Mexico, but the cultures have diverged a bit too much for that.

Canada, minus Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Deseret.

Sequoyah, maybe. Depends on American policy with Indians (since they were rather pro-Confederate in TL-191, probably terribly).

I went with the American/German v. Japanese cold war idea, with there being a German-American split later on. Germany filled the void the Americans left, much to the FSA's chagrin, and the modern FSA is now growing closer to Japan (which after a very poor late 20th century is now on the rise again).

Quebec remains loyal to the Federal States of America, because they genuinely did better when the USA was around and kept those damn Anglo-Canadians out of their hair.

Cuba wants nothing to do with the CSA and has a lot of pro-Union sentiment. This remained even after the fall of the USA.

The border republics there are mostly carpetbagger states. They were mostly territories taken from former Confederate states after the FGW, and then taken back after the fall of the USA, and then broke off again because they're full of Yankees. I also took Joshua Ben Ari's idea for a negro republic in Virginia.

I decided to make Louisiana independent, as a Baltic state-type deal with Texas.

Alaska is independent, but pro-FSA. It was flooded with Americans after its purchase from Russia, and just barely voted to secede from the Union. Lots of pro-American sentiment, and even talk of reunion, particularly as wages have crashed after the fall of the USA. Also thinks all other countries are run by little girls.
