A simple guide to the countries and groups that are dominant in North America. These groups and Nations will pop up throughout the story, so use this as a reference guide.
Nations
New United States
Reduced to consisting of all the eastern seaboard, and several inland states such as Ohio and Illinois, the USA may be badly beaten, but with a renewed patriotism within it's populace, this new country is a force to be reckoned with.
Texas Republic
After the collapse of the US, Texas decided to strike out it's own path in history, again. Fiercely independent with a wealthy petrochemical industry, this country is rich in natural resources, making it a key economic ally for any nation seeking to grow in power.
Midwestern Federation
With the New United States to it's East, the Texas Republic to it's South, and the Pacific States to it's West, this fledgling nation and it's people must do all they can to avoid angering those stronger than them, as the dry conditions of the Midwest will make it nearly impossible to be self sufficient in terms of agriculture.
Pacific States
Along the Pacific seaboard, this newer republic has built a strong navy, and seeks to establish dominance over the high seas. However, the arid Pacific west has poor growing conditions, and has exhausted nearly all of its common resources, with isolated uranium, steel and coal industries holding it's economy up by a thread.
Mexican Republic
Authoritarian to it's very core, with cartel syndicates pouring money into a corrupt police state, this fractured nation is barely holding itself together, making it a hotspot for insurgencies and extremist groups.
Quebec
Now independent from Canada, this French speaking nation somehow emerged from the climate crisis mostly unscathed.
New Canada
Following the sucession of Quebec, this Northern Country has large population centers close to the Midwestern Federation's northern borders. However, the isolated northern provinces have proved an ideal spot for extremist groups to go into hiding and set up shop.
Free City of New York
A city state that rose from the ashes of the old city of New York. After taking control of Long Island, this world capital seems to be on a fast track to unparalleled wealth.
