I'm hype to announce that I decided to restart my thriller story about a future America, after I decided to cancel it following US bombings of Iran. It will be titled "The Midnight Curve".

I would like to present a map I created for the story of a balkanized USA. 🧵

THE COMMONWEALTH OF ATLANTIS

Type: Neocameralist network state
Prime Minister: Peter Thiel
President: Akash Bobba
Capital: Richmond

The central country in the story, which was created by Yarvinites after Trump's tragic 2026 invocation of the Insurrection Act.

Flag:

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NEW AFRIKA
Type: Unitary Marxist-Leninist one-party state
President: Ajamu Baraka
Capital: Jackson

A Black nationalist and communist one-party state to the south of Atlantis. Charlotte (Atlantis)'s metro extends into the country.

Flag:

KINGDOM OF FLORIDA

Type: Right-Wing Democratic Monarchy
Monarch: Ron DeSantis
Capital: Jacksonville

The southernmost republic in the former U.S. and a crucial logistics destination later on. Tarmaan was originally from this state.

Flag:

THE TENNESSEE CONFEDERATION

Type: Semi-presidential democratic union
Prime Minister: Bill Lee
President: Marsha Blackburn
Capital: Nashville

A unionized republic consisting of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky. That's what the 3 stars mean now. To Atlantis' west.

FLAG:

STATE OF TEXAS

Type: Neocameralist network state
President: Elon Musk
Vice President: Brad Smith
Capital: Austin

Following Trump's invocation and the subsequent fall of America, Texas was able to muster enough energy to become an independent country. Once again.

FLAG:

CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC

Type: United Federal Republic
President: Gavin Newsom
Vice President: Katie Porter
Capital: Sacramento

Another state that decided to take the path of becoming an independent country. It brought Nevada with it this time, too. Also, it isn't

FLAG:

REPUBLIC OF ASENIWUCHE

Type: Federal semi-presidential republic
Prime Minister: Jared Polis
President: Gabe Evans
Capital: Denver

A unification of the former Rocky Mountain states at the Four Corners. Maintains close ties with Cali. The name is "asinîwaciy" but clean.

FLAG:

KANSAS-NEBRASKA UNION

Type: Unitary presidential confederation
President: Laura Kelly
Capital: Omaha

A union between Kansas and Nebraska inspired by that one act. One of the most developing nations in balkanized America. Oklahoma's in there too.

FLAG:

SOCIAL UNION OF NEW YORK

Type: Multi-party socialist presidential republic
President: Zohran Mamdani
Vice President: Brad Lander
Capital: Buffalo

A union of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. One of the richest of them all. Atlantis borders it to the North.

FLAG:

GREAT LAKES FEDERATION

Type: Federal presidential republic
President: J.B. Pritzker
Vice President: Gretchen Whitmer
Capital: Chicago

A unification of the U.S. side of the Great Lakes megapolis, except without Kentucky. Poor them.

FLAG:

REPUBLIC OF NEW ENGLAND

Type: Nordic semi-presidential social democracy
Prime Minister: Janet Mills
President: Maura Healey
Capital: Boston

The most educated and one of the wealthiest in the post-American republics. At least, they're finally a free country.

FLAG:

PRINCIPALITY OF OHIO

Type: Unitary parliamentary semi-constitutional monarchy
Monarch: Mike DeWine
Alois: Jim Tressel
Capital: Columbus

Due to Ohio failure to be admitted to the GLF, they decided to create their own republic instead. The rivalry with Michigan is still there.
