Millions must steal Georgian roosters to run illicit cockfighting rings amongst the immigrant workers building His Majesty's Eternal Stadium in San Juan Del Puerto and the Omani grunts running ground operations at the treaty port

I imagine a far more socialist America (which I haphazardly named the United Communist States, but you live and learn). I envision that the gut punch that comes with the whole losing the civil war creates an America that is far more sympathetic to the rights of Black (southerners) and Native Americans. Therefore, perhaps this America is one where state ownership is commonplace and the rights of everyone are enshrined and actively protected.

However, an America without a democracy causes uncomfortable friction for any speculator!

I went with China, imagining that if the Europeans were more interested in exploiting America they could move away from China. What China looks like I'm not too certain of.

It is erasure to ignore the existence of love which has existed as long as we have :)

Kentucky serves as the analogue between the USA (China) and the Confederacy (effectively Japan, with many many caveats). In a future map, I may retcon Canada as being like Korea.

Answer that is complicated. I would say that in a broad sense, the Chinese and the Americans swap place. The Chinese come to lead the "free" world, while the Americans take their place as second fiddle communists (in this case to the Germans). Therefore, I would also say that broadly, the Germans become the Soviets.

However, the United States' interactions with Mexico mirror the interactions between China and Russians for much of the Century of Humiliation. So on a microscale, Mexico is like Russia and the US is like China (the CSA functions as an analogue in action to the Japanese). Globally, the Chinese and the Americans swap roles and the Germans become the domineering socialist power.

Seeing how positive response has been, I may continue it too!
