If There Is Hope - Map Notes:
1. Alaska originally formed as an independent state nominally affiliated with the continuing (Southern) USA, but experiencing Soviet influence and increasing intervention they joined the British bloc by becoming a Canadian province.
2. Hyperboria is an experimental "canton", directly managed by the Imperial Parliament. A fully integrated Brotherhood of Nations anyone ?
3. Cascadia maintained a liberal inclination throughout the increasing isolationism and sectarian maelstrom of the majority of the USA - as such is decided to commit to the alternative government established in Chicago in 1984.
4. British intervention was crucial in securing Hawaii for Freedonia and preventing Japanese re-expansion.
5. California's union culture and socialist radicalism clashed badly with the military industry created during the Pacific War - the attempts of the government to oppress organised labour is partially behind the eventual Anarcho-Syndicalist nature of the country.
6. Deseret is a repressive military dictatorship that barely controls more than Salt Lake properly.
7. A warlord state dominated by neighbours and depressingly lacking in ambition, "communist" in the classic OTL Cold War style.
8. Mexico regained part of their losses but find this area difficult to control - the USA aligns itself with filibuster states that entrench themselves irregularly in border towns.
9. The "Reservation" is effectively a concentration camp system within a policed Bantustan, the population movements have made this area almost exclusively African-American.
10. The Farmer-Labor heartland somewhat dominates the Plains Confederacy, the other states are somewhat warlord-esque.
11. The FSA is proud but still finds itself accepting British advise and economic aid regularly - the scars of the Second Civil War are deep and lasting.
12. The "Free Kentucky Republic" didn't go too well being effectively a crater where the socialists and fascists expended uranium at one another - the enclave archipelago is a fully independent state though.
13. Puerto Rico working on the keeping head low policy.
14. Ecuador eventually regained its jungle claims, clearly four wars was worth it.
15. American aid to the Peruvian regime dried up when California was lost and the Andean communists began to ravage the countryside. Chilean intervention was welcomed and a unified state established.
16. Think Pol Pot, Stalin and Shining Path combined with regular attempts at Cultural revolution.
17. Chile since 1932 has been on the continual up - a British ally during the Long War and industrial heartland of South America.
18. Argentina tries not to fragment too regularly.
19. Your run of the mill efficient autocracy - have lost so much land they don't bother to claim it all.
20. Vargas Era never really kicked off - the revolution separated the American aligned Northern states from the newly communist South - although the south had guerrillas for a while.
21. Thinking of reforming to a corrupt democracy.
22. The United Kingdom is more culturally distinct and confident in this world, the legacy of socialist government and pride from the Long War along with the soft power and iconic British imperialist attitudes mixed with co-operative socialism across the world.
23. Norway was the first country to successfully repulse Nazi Germany with Soviet and British assistance.
24. Falangelist "Spain" has a serious chip on its shoulder about practically everything.
25. In the Long War the "Popular French" granted citizenship to significant numbers of loyal Algerians - some joined the Pied Noir and thus France hung onto this small colony.
26. France still holds grudges from treatment as a defeated combatant.
27. Catalonia works on a anarchist system - the volunteer workers militia are slightly chaotic and money is optional.
28. Greece was an Axis member ITTL and briefly was communist.
29. Italy swapped sides at just the right moment and thus became a valued Ally allowed to maintain Dalmatia and avoid punishment.
30. Soviet Union works on a policy of allowing cultural expression and dividing and conquering small sub-categories within ethnicities.
32. Except Rumania, they hate Rumania.
33. Egypt is the primary Arab power and since the Anglo-Egyptian treaties granting them Sudan have been as independent as possible.
34. Iraq long term is going to be screwed by angry neighbours.
35. These Tuareg rebels are proving to be a bitch. The countries affected are beginning to look suspiciously to rebel free Algeria.
36. Dictator with illusions of grandeur managed to wrest the former colonial border along with endemic separatist rebels.
37. Ethiopian Union focuses on improving infrastructure and is a major agricultural exporter.
38. British occasionally worry if Biafra was the right side to support and then go back to drinking Cola.
39. The West African Federation has a functioning parliamentary democracy within an inclusive federal structure and roughly profitable trade balances.
40. The Blair premiership integrated Uganda into the new British East Africa to balance the increasing numbers and political acumen of the settler population. However following the Long War a mass emigration scheme coupled with Indian enfranchisement led to the integration of EAF into the United Kingdom itself.
41. Angola is staging an African equivalent of the War of the Triple Alliance.
42. Soviet Pashtustan - asides from the rebels a fairly reasonable place to exist.
43. The Indian Empire is the result of clever management by the British who managed to leave a strong ally who acts as the fellow leader of the Brotherhood.
44. China is a rough democracy now but bears the scars of Japanese occupation and civil disunity between communists and the British aligned elements who managed to exploit the power vacuum left by the end of the Pacific War.
45. The USA has fallen - quick invade Cochin-China.
46. Communist Philippines are not proving to be a peaceful holiday for the boys in red. Elements still claim allegiance to the USA.
47. Manchuria is the hold out of the Axis styled KMT and their little paranoid military dictatorship, a relic whose official history is composed entirely of the war to regain the area from the Japanese.
48. The Pacific War ended with stalemate following the 1953 Japanese Nuclear bombing of the US invasion fleet. The empire has only grown worse over time.
49. Independent Pacific states struggle to be remembered.
50. Western Australia was supported by a more assertive British Crown and still loyally follows Norwich's lead.
51. The Socialist government in New Zealand is in serious discussions with the United Kingdom regarding integration as the seventh kingdom.
52. The Soviet Union is unquestionably one of the two great powers of the globe, relative lack of tension and thus military spending oiled the domestic economy and reformed communism is going strong.
53. Walvis Bay Free State - a curious eccentric amusement with elected monarchs.
54. Once Japanese support was withdrawn for the puppet Indonesian nationalist government and Dutch influence and soldiers fought their brutal war everything began to clusterfuck - presently a Islamic insurgency is being provoked by invading Aceh.
55. Kashmir - winter sports capital of the world.
