Bit of a project I've been working on
Wiki Infobox (not sure if it goes here, but oh well
) :
The map itself:
The scenario is a world where the Americas are colonized by many more nations, and thus falls into a lot of sectarian and regional wars between colonial states. This hinders the democratic and social progress in the West, with a lot of anti-reformist and arch-conservative movements being prevalent.
Hudsonia is relatively prosperous, but has rampant electoral corruption. It's a noble republic, with many seats being inherited, as well as oddly populated (ranging from an unpopulated Central Park district to working class districts populated near 200,000 – though the median population in a district is about 40,000). Political machines, voter intimidation, bribery, and electoral fraud are all rampant, as well as an instituted non-secret ballot. The three largest parties are led by the landed class.
On a political compass, the parties are as follows. Authoritarian infers a pro-nobility and anti-democracy stance; libertarian refers to pro-democratization.
All in all, a very dreary scenario. I might make more of these countries, if there is any interest.
