This is kind of post WW3 with some ruined cities and some islands being blown up. Had some fun with city names. Not 100% to scale by any means in almost any way. Did the main work on this map before I started using transparent windows on my mini map to make much more accurate versions to play upon. Starting up a game now. Opinions?

I don't understand why there is a strip of green on the right side of the map, and if Your going to put alaksa in there you should have canada in, or have something in the all that water, Hawaii maybe?

And if the islands are blown up, have the cities on those islands be ruins

Who is writing the background of this map?

If you look at the cities in the top two islands one is called Alberta and the other Old Quebec. There is also a city named New Quebec on the map. And cities could have been rebuilt, who knows how far into the future this is. And what it comes down to is I don't really like ruins. Did ruin a city and call it yellowstone around all the lava stuff.

And to all the critics about "have other countries around it", ala Mexico and Canada. The map is not North America. It is United States of America. It was a conscious choice to make it just the US. Feel free to make a North America map and make it accurate to current day. I will be in my future, fantasy world. I think when you play the map, or look at it in the editor, you will see some city names and other aspects that could be nods to future events, such as the volcano and ruined yellowstone.

So think of it as all the land mass around the US got destroyed conveniently along the modern day border, or suspend thy wicked disbelief and realize it is just a map that happens to have a passing resemblance to the USA but no other connection.

And the resources around the country I thought were just a good idea and a small motivation to get off the main landmass. Other that you can think of them as outposts built during the war, maybe weapons platforms that could be scrapped for their resources in our now devolved medieval like society.

I made up a story in my head with most choices I made, but some were just to make the map cool, or fun to play. Every choice is a creative one and might not match up with the story in your head, or what you want the story to be, but my map, my story.
