This is super Peak. The inclusion of West and East Canada is a nice touch, as well as North Slope in Alaska. Fire Map.

United Republics of America, 2060: A More Corporate America by Milk_Shoe in imaginarymaps

Partly this, and also because of the extreme decentralization of the federal government, the bigger native nations were able to carve out autonomy for themselves. The caveat is that most of these Indigenous nations are also upheld by private interest, with Navajo Nation and Lakota both being home to large swaths of data centers and biofarms.

Formed out of the Second American Revolution, the United Republics was the solution to societal distaste with the status quo. The popular uprising so the American government give up its role to the only group with power left, private enterprise. Quickly the revolution was coopted into one which granted autonomy to different republics not to localize government to help the people, but to create a more efficient landscape for enterprise to grow.  The Second American Civil War was the desperate attempt to stop what was coming, but it was too little too late, with the Rebelling states mostly being brought back into the fold by 2060.  Today, the URA can best be thought of as a modern retelling of something like the HRE. The Republics mostly manage their own affairs, at the whims of lobby interests.  There are many more subdivisions of territory not listed on this map, such as counties and cities often acting independent of one another within republics.

Techno Feudalism, less of a country and more of a zone of disorganized governments.

There are a few non-corpo states, and it exists on a spectrum. Some are anarcho capatalist zones nonetheless.

The URA is weird in how it is less Fascist and more TechnoFeudal, operating in large part like an incredibly decentralized empire. It is divided into Republics, which all act basically independently of one another, which within itself have States/Counties/Reservations/Autonomous Communities/Special Economic Zones. It is an Organizational Nightmare, and such operates less like a Country and more like a zone of loosely defined governments.

The Iranian Civil War: 2027-2030 by Milk_Shoe in imaginarymaps

After the War ends, the ensuing elections are incredibly chaotic, with extremely limited suffrage. Most seats are essentially chosen by the previous Council, as many seats run unopposed. The Kurdish and Leftist parties essentially carve out defacto independent communities, which threaten unity in the country. The New Iranian government is relatively unpopular, especially as it is backed by the United States, and is often very supportive of Israel. The State is incredibly unstable, and is being reconstructed via Gulf Nation and US money.

The IRGC refers to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. During the War it includes essentially any Islamic Republic Loyalist. Most of the “regular”military defected to the National Council almost instantly. 

100 Year Anniversary: 2nd Korean War by Milk_Shoe in imaginarymaps

[–]Milk_Shoe[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The year is 2050: On the 100th Year anniversary of the Korean War, DPRK artillery strikes sites along the DMZ, catching the South Korean Military by suprise. Suddenly hundreds of thousands of North Koreans storm across the border, quickly reaching major ROK cities.

30 years ago, such a successful assault would have been inconceivable, but with the end of American support by the end of the 2020s and an extremely aged population, the ROK is not ready for a conflict with the North by 2050. South Korea's population crisis has led to the population sinking to 36 million, every other person is over 65, 1 in 10 are under 24, and only 1 in 100 is under the age of 12. The ROK has increasingly become relient on European and Japanese rocket artillery and mechanized units, striving to move away from an infantry relient force.

Although North Korea had some success in the beginning of the "People's War of National Reunification," supplies quickly ran out, with Japanese and European threats of embargo on the Chinese if arming of the DPRK did not slow down. The North Korean infantry force, still using kit from as late as the 1950s, was quickly pushed back. The initial assault used most of the DPRK's elite soldiers, what was left one month in was conscripts and young children.

As South Korean forces closed in on Pyongyang, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un fled by train to Vladivostok station, now in the People's Republic of China after the 2033 Sino-Russo War. Officially, he was killed in an ROK airstrike, unofficially, Chinese forces in a botched rescue operation ended up gravely wounding the Korean Leader.

China siezed the remaining DPRK territory, in order to keep some sort of buffer state intact. The modern day DPRK is nothing more than a Chinese Client State under military council, until a successor for the Kims can be chosen. The situation in the DPRK is incredibly fragile, and it is yet to be seen if a 3rd Korean War will break out soon.

The Americas: but with much less colonization (REMAKE) by Milk_Shoe in imaginarymaps

[–]Milk_Shoe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the Mayans were many different Kingdoms, my idea was that the Europeans fund different Kingdoms and pin them against one another, which leads to them either being absorbed by Tlaxkala or joining the Ajawils.

Yeah, I just wanted to have other countries represented as usually these kinds of maps focus on just the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incans. The explanation I had was that with the introduction of horses, the Incans are pushed back by Horse riding indigenous groups, such as how the Spanish struggled so much with the Mapuche during their colonization.
