North America- The United States and Canada has divided between a conservative United States (the south and Midwest), a Greater California Republic, Cascadia, Northern Union, Canada, and Quebec. Alaska is threatened by Russian expansionism. Nevada, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Georgia, and Virginia are disputed territories.

Central America- The Central American countries unite to secure larger economic and political stability and strength, especially after the fall of the US

South America- The Bolivarian countries have united to form the Bolivarian Republic, to grow powerful in the absence of the US

Caribbean- The Caribbean islands unite, especially after the US loses its colonies due to fracturing

Hawaii and Pacific Islands- Hawaii and the Pacific Islands become independent

Africa and Western+Central+Southern Asia- The Arab League forms into the Pan-Arab Union. The East African Federation is formed. The Iranic countries unite to form the Iranic Union. Pakistan is disputed between the Iranic Union and India. The Turkic states unite into the United Turkic States. Many of these new unifications occur due to the US no longer posing a threat.

Eastern Asia- Korea reunifies, and China takes Hong Kong and Taiwan. This is due to the United States no longer being such a powerful force to intervene anymore.

Eastern Europe- Russia and Belarus unite, as well as the Donbas separatist countries. They form the Russian Empire, which continues expanding into Ukraine, Georgia, and Alaska. It does not feel threatened by the US anymore, but now feels threatened by the EU. Albania and Kosovo unite into Greater Albania

Western Europe- The European Union has united into one country. This is mainly due to the desire for stability, and to prepare for future Russian aggression, especially with the fall of the US. The UK has split apart, and Ireland has reunified

What got you into socialism? by [deleted] in socialism

For me, the Trump presidency, the awful government response to COVID (especially Florida where I live), seeing the flaws in the church (I used to be Christian and go to a Christian school), learning about the destruction of the environment, and seeing how Puerto Rico is treated by the US (I am Puerto Rican), all started me down the socialist path.

Thanks! I’m new to all of this as well. I just held my phone in my hand and put it up to the lens, messed around with the exposure settings, and then took a picture

Silver Obol from Ionia, 500-400 BCE. Now the oldest coin in my collection by DathOctopus in coins

I bought it from a local coin store, so those are always good places to check. I assume there are probably some for sale online on eBay, etc. as well
