I don't have a map for the United States specifically, but I do have a map of a unified North America that I apparently made.

Edit: just made one.

I actually like this idea.

It's French. I don't know how they'd feel about becoming a Canadian territory or part of Québec or Newfoundland and Labrador, but it does make geographical sense.

Another idea: Annex the country Georgia so that we have two of them and the situation gets even more confusing
While we're at it, merge Moscow, Russia and Moscow, Idaho.

Merge Cairo, Egypt and Cairo, West Virginia.

Merge Shanghai, China and Shanghai West Virginia.
Rename the rest of West Virginia to Vandalia so people stop confusing us with the other Virginia.

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

Why does Maine only have to repent? No eternal punishment for them if they don't? What do they get instead?


I like to leave what happens to Main if they refuse to repent open-ended and ominous.

Very good attitude to have. We don't want weaklings in the cool zone. You wouldn't survive a winter's night.

As for Detroit, let's just say there's several areas in the repent zones that will be evacuated into the perish zones and what's left over will be torn down and used for wildlife sanctuaries.

I mean. Most of the planet is gonna be under water soon enough. Might as well get a head start on learning to build aquatic cities. Then we could also tax other nations for using our water, and more efficiently strip mine the land we have left.
