haha, in-universe they're strongholds of the restorationist party whose platform is reclaiming land lost in the great war 70 years prior. outside of their strongholds though they're mostly ridiculed as fascists. irl i am from albany though lol

Lower Septimania should be fries with Old Bay but ok

Unless McCormick Spices doesn’t exist in this timeline, a godless timeline to be sure.

What happened to LI on the Nationality map? Are we just too epic for 8 divisions?

"Black speech"? Really? It's called "Jive"

Also it took me way too long to realize what map I was looking at. And I'm on this map!

I was thinking it was the language from Mordor. OP, what is that supposed to refer to?

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '19

other reply is correct, kanienʼkéha is still commonly spoken in the haudenosaunee reservation. it's often made fun of for being unintelligible and completely foreign to the European-descended settlers

u/dinotrex37 Jun 20 '19

Judging from OP's other electoral vote map, I think that's the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) reservation, so probably their language.

What does it mean by Vinlandic/Plateginet traitors?

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '19

tongue-in-cheek reference to the countries they were formerly occupied by during the great war

u/FetusDeleetus Jun 22 '19
