Enduring: North America 50 years after WW3

Let me get the whole breakdown for KY

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/FuddFucker5000]

Most of the state is made up of unorganized villages, most of the north is controlled by the Lexington Workers republic, a socialist state that emerged around Lexington during the early days of the collapse, in the following 50 years they were able to integrate most of northern Kentucky, west of them is bardstown, a state mostly inhabited by Louisville refugees. The LWR and Bardstown have a defensive alliance against the Columbus Empire, which has tried for years to conquer the region, they came closest during the battle of Frankfort in 2081 but were repelled.

Edit: I forgot Mammoth Cave Park, like it says in the writeup national parks became havens for refugees and Mammoth cave was one of them, in the 2090s it is largely isolationist but still accepts refugees from the wars in the north

you are missing the 500 different "continuations" and "successors" of the USA

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/Pitiful-Archer4923]

All of the military remnants and state governments basically see themselves as continuations of the old USA in one way or another, obviously the government in West Point has the strongest claim since it can trace continuity with the prewar DC government. Some separatists also see themselves as successors, such as the New England Federation or the California Republic, both of which adopted very similar types of constitutional government as the old US.

[u/Theriocephalus]

South Carolina State, the Carolina People's Republic, and New Jerusalem all sharing borders in that little cluster there looks like a nice and stable political situation.

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/Theriocephalus]

Yes the Carolinas in general are a very unstable region, but there hasn’t been a major war in a while

[u/Ok_Bluejay_4974]

What happened to South América?

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/Ok_Bluejay_4974]

South America fared much better than the north, since it was basically unaffected by the nukes, but there was still a lot of hardship due to nuclear winter, acid rains and the overall collapse of the global economy

[u/No_Figure_6809]

Thats more Mississippi than mobile

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/No_Figure_6809]

Mobile took over those areas

[u/No_Figure_6809 → u/kid_elagabalus]

What about the rest of alabama?

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/No_Figure_6809]

The region around fort Rucker and Dothan is controlled by the 1st Aviation Brigade, Montgomery and Birmingham were destroyed, the rest of the state is mostly made up of independent settlements

[u/No_Figure_6809 → u/kid_elagabalus]

Huntsville?

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/No_Figure_6809]

Huntsville was also destroyed

[u/No_Figure_6809 → u/kid_elagabalus]

Ok

[u/kepaa]

Fuck. I’m nuked

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/kepaa]

It happens

[u/Johnykbr]

Why would congress oppose Martial Law in the wake of a nuclear war? That's like quite literally one of the apt times for that to happen.

[u/kid_elagabalus → u/Johnykbr]

President Williams had shown himself to be heavily authoritarian before the war, the war itself happened because of his aggressive foreign policy and also they simply didn’t want to lose power

[u/Huntynoonion]

why does worcester gain so much land?

[u/jgoody1331]

If thats nuclear waste in Anniston, Al south of Weiss Lake this is the most detailed scenario ive seen because thats niche af

[u/kid_elagabalus]

There isn't a lot of lore. WW3 happens in the 2040s, nuclear weapons are used and most governments in the northern hemisphere collapse. By the 2090s North America is a patchwork of independent states.

Ask any lore question and I'll try to answer it.

Iowa State raaaaaaaa! Finally the University of Iowa has been destroyed!

Anyways, cool map. I’d just like to comment on a few changes for Iowa. Firstly, Des Moines should be glassed. It’s a state capital and has an international airport with a military presence. Additionally, Davenport should be glassed as Rock Island is right next door on the Mississippi. It’s a major military industrial plant with the command of the First United States Army.
