Quick question, what do you use to make the maps? I really want to make some fictional world maps but i havent found some good stuff yet. It would be greatly appreciated! Also i love your videos.
still walking on thin ice. as if this New England were ruled from the population centers in the south like a centralized capital in Boston/Hartford, the french minority will be just as suppressed and discriminated as it so badly went in Maine during 1919-1960 but on a larger scale in this scenario. (unless there becomes a NorthSouth divide of new-england, which leads to The Troubles of war&terror, then that would be a path of uncertainty)
My changes: 1.) Forgotten French Collectivity; St Pierre and Miquelon would undoubtedly join the nation of Quebec. 2.) Bermuda was left out, so they could be a little island nation with an option to join the Caribbean Union (Federation.) 3a.) Nunavut (minus some coastline islands in the Hudson Bay that are not 1st Nation lands would join Quebec,) they would join a Greater Greenland. 3b.) The northern 2/3s of the Northwest Territory (north of Great Slave Lake & MacKenzie River) would also join this Greater Greenland. 4.) The Northwest Territory west of the MacKenzie & Liard Rivers would join Yukon. 5.) I would expand the Cascadia to include this expanded Yukon "state", as well as, all of Alaska, & any remaining land between them and the lands for Cascadia you drew. 6.) The NE part of the B.C. south of the Liard River & east of the Rocky Mts. edge would be part of Alberta in Canada. 7.) I would include all of Washington & Oregon, as well as, Idaho including the north mountains & the Snake River watershed that goes into the Columbia River, but with a better mountain ridge border in the east. 8a.) Nevada should join the nation of California. (-Most of the population is around Vegas and there is more travel between SoCal & Vegas than other directions. As the shared water issue/need from the Colorado River.) 8b.) Take a little nw piece of Arizona * sw piece of Utah on the Virgin River, the Beaver Dam Basin taking the whole western sliver of Utah north as part of Nevada in California. 9.) Take the El Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar from Sonora, Mexico (from the Colorado River in the west & straighten that Arizona border to the east,) and add it to Arizona (giving the USA a small coast in the Gulf of Cali.) 10.) Yes, add Chipas to the Central American Union. 11a.) Belize could maybe join the new nation of the Yucatan. 11b.) Then you would want to take that northern part of Guatemala (down to the Rio Del La Pasion) and have that be apart of the Yucatan too, (for if nothing more than preserving the bioregion.) 12.) I think it would help out the Caribbean Union to have the peninsula part of Florida join it, west of the St. Johns River (which is basically just the east coast, down to the big Lake Okeechobee) then follow from the lake to the west coast (everything south of the Caloosahatchee River) would be a new nation in this Union. (Big cities like Cape Coral, Orlando, Tampa, Tallahassee, Pensacola, etc. with half of Jacksonville would stay USA, while Fort Myers, Miami, the Florida Keys, the Everglades, & historic St. Augustine as "South Florida.") 13.) A lot of the land south of the St. Lawrence is very french, so probably not giving it to the nation of New England would be a good idea. You'd have to keep that ugly flat line between (now) Quebec & USA then continue to follow the Maine border of the St. John River and continue to follow it to St. Francis, then follow the St. Francis east then kick over to Chaleur Bay. 14.) Add all of the state of New Jersey, & the east portion of Pennsylvania (basically east of Susquehanna River,) plus everything north of Back Creek (Canal,) (so basically Wilmington with the north bit of Delaware & a bit of ne Maryland east of the Susquehanna River,) & most of the state of New York minus west of about Seneca Lake north/south. 15.) The overlooked islands of Colombia, San Andres and Providencia should probably join the Caribbean Union as a new nation within it too. (Just like Aruba, Curacao, & Bonaire or Trinidad & Tobago.) 16.) Nueva Esparta & the other islands near them & the ABC's called the Federal Dependencies of Venezuela should also be a nation within the Caribbean Union too. 17.) The Minnesotan Angle exclave on the Lake of the Woods should go to Ontario.
Can you make a video looking at all of the changes you made for the world and a general overview for what this would mean for the world, global order and certain countries? Thanks
Your biggest mistake was leaving Alberta a part of Canada. There is a HUGE separation movement in Alberta, and *if* this was going to happen, there is no way in hell that Alberta would remain part of Canada. Also, Newfoundland would never become part of Quebec. That is completely nonsensical.
I think for a Native American country the Navajo land would make more sense. Also, with Cascadia, California, and New England out, the US would become overwhelmingly conservative, giving Texas much less of a reason to leave. On the other hand this might push New York to join New England too.
We already have a kind of "Caribbean Union" it's called Caricom & whilst it doesn't have all Caribbean nations it has most of them. It also includes Belize, Guyana, & Suriname
Caricom is kind of the closest we’d get to a Caribbean Federation, but the union doesn’t include all of central america strangely despite the region being a part of the caribbean alongside the islands and northern south america
At 2:22 The orange part, south of the St. Lawrence river, is part of Québec and where many Quebeckers live today. This is where my hometown is, don't give it up!
2:14 I like the idea of a New-England/Maritime Nation. Two changes I would make: Return the Quebec strip to Quebec for historical, cultural, and linguistic reasons Have Newfoundland join New-England/Maritimes, but keep Labrador a part of Quebec with some autonomy (as a Newfie, this hurts immensely to say but it’s the non-biased solution 😭)
Fun fact the northern region of Guatemala , known as "El Petén" is actually closer to Yucatan Peninsula culturally speaking than the southern part of Guatemala, so we could actually consider a Yucatan Republic including part of Guatemala, it makes more sense given their shared Mayan heritage.
As a born and raised Mainer I feel I agree with putting the maritimes and New England together, New Brunswick is a common place for mainers to go when their traveling to Canada, not Ontario or Quebec
As a Puerto Rican I love the idea of independence. And being in a union with the rest of the carribean islands would be perfect since admittedly we would struggle a bit on our own. And since we the carribeans consider ourselves to he part of a big family (specially Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Cuba) I believe coexistence will not he a major problem in the slightest. Fun fact about the Cuban and Puerto Rican flags: their similarities are not a coincidence. They were made as a result of the independence movement done by a man called Betances in which Cuba managed to rebel against Spain and gain independence successfully. Sadly Puerto Rico failed to do the same but we kept the flag and used it to replace the one Spain had given us. And yet another fun fact, Betances also had the idea of a unified Caribbean. His full dream never came to fruition however bcs he became wanted by the Spanish after all the rebellion he had caused. So the Caribbean never became one united nation and remained separated with no further movements made to follow Betances' dream. And that brings us to present day where Puerto Rico remains the only major Carribean island who hasn't gone independent yet. A new independence movement is growing tho. For the first time in our history, the independence party was actually very close of winning the elections. We were THIS close of having our very first pro-independence governor. So yeah who knows! We might finally achieve independence one day in the not so distant future. :)
I once worked out a plan to balkanize the Untied States into five regional nations. They were roughly: the Northeast Atlantic coast, the former Confederate states, Midwest/Great Lakes, Rockies and Great Plains, and the Pacific coast. Once upon a time, this might have worked, but I think the way US society has polarized in the past century - urban vs. rural, rather than regionally - would make it impossible. People in Atlanta, Chicago, NYC, LA, and Dallas have more in common with each other than with their neighbors 50 miles out from the city.
Hi! Love your videos. But there is a big mistake on this one. About Quebec, you included Gaspesie and Anticosti in the maritimes. ;) They are both in Quebec
As long as we french New Brunswicker don’t lose our rights we fought so hard for, I’d like this new New England country! Would have to be officially bilingual though!😂😂
Did you know that ANBL sends all their translations to a French company in Quebec, which costs them over $120k a year. You'd think a government agency in a bilingual province could hire a French person or contract a company from within New Brunswick, but nope. The public doesn't know this, but they should. I only know this because I worked for them corporately for 3 years.
1 small thing: the area south of the St Laurence is also Quebec and largely French speaking along with some of northern New Brunswick. And Cascadia extends to an area that should be part of the Yukon.
El Salvador: Yay! We got rid of crime by arresting most cartel members after being one of the most dangerous countries in the world! El Salvador after being forced to unite with others: we have to do this all over again
I find it weird to not just make Alaska and NewFoundland as independent nations. They both have their own histories completely separate from the two English America colonies. Newfoundland was independent for a decent while in fact Nunuvat you also show as being more indigenous to the others so dunno why not
Newfoundland and Labrador would more likely join the newly formed New England. Most of the bank south of the St. Lawrence River would remain with Quebec. There are some English speaking enclaves in the Gaspe Peninsula and French speaking enclaves in New Brunswick.
Why not unite Guatemala, Chiapas, Yucatan and Belize into a Mayan state? Makes much more sense than lumping Guatemala (Which is 41% maya and 50% mixed) into a central American union with almost exclusively spanish-speaking countries. Uniting all the mayan territories and making a new standardized Mayan the official Language would be much more sensible.
You could have attached Florida and Cuba together 😅 you know what they say what the best thing is about living in Florida? That it's so close to the US
Should've expanded cascadia to the rockies, given southern Arizona to Sonora, expanded new mexico and Chihuahua further east for geographic consistency and depth, independent Louisiana, and added east Florida to the Caribbean
General Ferb loves it to change borders of our world´s countries and i´m here for it. it is always interesting to see the ideas of someone else on that topic - especially of someone who doesn´t just draw any borders on a (virtual) map but who talks about and explains his reasons behind it.
Every single American right now who has a brain and is at least a fairly decent person: Yes, please let us separate from the mess that this country is becoming!!! Please!!!
To fix one small historical inaccuracy I noticed that might be lesser known by others which is the only reason I call it out, with the Yucatan one there was never a "Maya Empire". For much of their history, the Mayans were organized into countless city-states for the most part and any larger nations were typically just other kings that had sworn loyalty and vassalage to other city-states but still had considerable autonomy. But yes, you were correct in saying it is the Maya homeland were the vast vast majority of Maya people still live today.
I think a "United States of the Mississippi River" would be interesting. Kind of a big triangular country that covers the tributaries...a long Northern area ranging from Montana to Western PA (and bits of Canada) and then funneling down by Louisiana. It could be chaotic with little coastal access and the region differences, but I'd be interested to see how it developed and maximized its resources.
No nicaragüense will ever agree with anything someone from El Salvador Honduras or Costa Rica has to say due to old rivalries and territorial disputes. Also Columbia occupies islands that should be part of Nicaragua.
it wouldn't make sense to have northern california and southern oregon not be part of the US still because of how STRONGLY patriotic/conservative they are to it, and it wouldn't make sense to give Oklahoma in its entirety its own nation instead of the Navajo region in Arizona
Newfoundland&Labrador should definitely be independent and it would be bad for Canada if Alberta left, but they’ve been traitorous lately, super conservative and brainwashed by the oil they have so Alberta would probably want to be independent as well despite infrastructure issues 4:58
The biggest issue I had was with how the rest of the US is drawn up for politics. It would leave New York, Illinois, and Minnesota as the only historically left leaning states left in the union dooming their people to conservative ideology from the south and Midwestern states. The balance of power would be hurt tremendously.
Central America isn't a continent. It's a part of North America, just like the Caribbean. So there's definitely a lot more than three countries in North America.
2:00 lmao anticosti island is already quebec why did u color it newfoundland (btw its that island west of newfoundland island) why did u not bring up bermuda and saint pierre and miquelon tho are they staying territories are they becoming independent
As someone who has lived in the PNW for nearly my entire life, I can tell you that the Cascadia movement is appealing mostly to the larger population centers in the western portion of the area. Most of the people east of the Cascade mountains do not want to be under the thumbs of Seattle and Portland more than they already are... Also, New Hampshire and parts of Maine would not want to be under the thumb of Boston to a greater extent than they are right now. Californians outside of Los Angeles and San Francisco would similarly suffer if California became independent. As for the US losing Alaska, Hawaii, and access to the Pacific Ocean, h*** NO! The USA gains virtually nothing for these losses. Not going to happen.
Having lived in Alaska for many years I've always thought Alaska the Yukon and northern British Columbia should be united. But not connected to Canada.
As an American, I dont know why New York, Maryland, and New Jersey would be left out of New England. They share a general culture. Same with Utah and Colorado in the Southwest. Finally, the North Rockies and South/Midwest aren't super culturally related, and Minnesota is kind of part of the Great Lakes Region due to it border them. I dont mean to hate, but this hypothetical map isn't your best from my view.
0:18 Three countries do NOT take up the whole continent. They are the largest, but not the only. Central America is not it's own continent, neither are the islands of the Caribbean, both are part of North America. You're not "adding Central America because a full video doesn't make sense for them", you're adding them because they are a part of North America which is what this video is about. I've always laughed when Europeans say Americans don't know geography when the Americans can't name much of Europe, because it's overtly obvious that Europeans don't know any either when you ask them to name the countries of North America, most only know three, not all twenty three. Terrible start to this video.
I dont see why you wouldnt merge Canadian prairie provinces with the American plains states if your idea is merging regions with economic and social similarities.
Is there I think you forgot New York in the conversation of being a part of New England because it is in the same metropolitan area so it would technically count
Let Texas and Quebec become their own Republics/countries or whatever. Both have been begging/threatening to leave their mother country. Just don't come back begging for financial aid. You got your freedom - now you are on your own.
6:19 yeah no it wasnt a gruop of men took over ONE town for ten day in the far north were most peopel did not live thats like if a get a mob together to take over Valley City illinois for a week and declare a republic and then the history books say illinois was once an independent republic
Add the rest of cascadia to include its water shed, give the water shed of the rio grande to Texas, and the rest of the west could be a zion-dessert basin state/country with California. The plains could be split with the Mississippi river and be their own as well
i appreciate oklahoma i rlly do cause im from oklahoma born and raised and am native but if you’re give the five civilized tribes independence there’s no way in hell the navajo nation won’t either
Have you read Joel Garreau's _Nine Nations of North America_ or Colin Woodard's _American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America_ ? They are interesting studies of the cultural and political difference among areas in North America, some of the areas overlapping the borders of existing countries. Either of them would suggest that your "all the rest of the USA", marked in cyan on your final map, ought to be further divided.
As an American I was hoping you’d chop us up more. Give The South away. I’d be alright with that and with becoming part of a Great Lakes Union or something.
Quebec without the Gaspesie and the south shore of the St. Lawrence? I would say that the Quebeckers get mad about such a solution. Also, when here everything is fictional.
Getting this Acadian (and a few hundred thousands more) to live in an expanded New England is going to get real problematic real fast. It’s on par with your acknowledged mistake of adding Québec’s Gaspésie and Bas-du-Fleuve regions to this new country.
The further northern part of California is more like the Cascadia region you made Deseret would probably be the remaining western places west of Colorado, maybe NM would be part of it too but probably not It wouldn’t be the Confederacy, but the South has it’s own culture that’s vastly different from anywhere else, maybe Atlanta or something would be the capital
The EZLN was not looking for Chiapas independence. I would suggest instead the little nation of Soconusco (a region in Chiapas) that indeed was looking for independence.
*Okay yeah those borders of Quebec weren't super accurate. But they're nice, I think they'd be ok with giving that area to New England*
Hummm non on ne serait pas content. If I can submit an idea add the New England to Quebec to create : New Albion or Avalon (in French) we would all be correct to be a new country, and most likely one of the richest of the planet.
Quick question, what do you use to make the maps? I really want to make some fictional world maps but i havent found some good stuff yet. It would be greatly appreciated! Also i love your videos.
Half, if not more of our population lives on the southern coast so that would not really work
still walking on thin ice.
as if this New England were ruled from the population centers in the south like a centralized capital in Boston/Hartford, the french minority will be just as suppressed and discriminated as it so badly went in Maine during 1919-1960 but on a larger scale in this scenario.
(unless there becomes a NorthSouth divide of new-england, which leads to The Troubles of war&terror, then that would be a path of uncertainty)

11b.) Then you would want to take that northern part of Guatemala (down to the Rio Del La Pasion) and have that be apart of the Yucatan too, (for if nothing more than preserving the bioregion.)
12.) I think it would help out the Caribbean Union to have the peninsula part of Florida join it, west of the St. Johns River (which is basically just the east coast, down to the big Lake Okeechobee) then follow from the lake to the west coast (everything south of the Caloosahatchee River) would be a new nation in this Union. (Big cities like Cape Coral, Orlando, Tampa, Tallahassee, Pensacola, etc. with half of Jacksonville would stay USA, while Fort Myers, Miami, the Florida Keys, the Everglades, & historic St. Augustine as "South Florida.")

Add all of the state of New Jersey, & the east portion of Pennsylvania (basically east of Susquehanna River,) plus everything north of Back Creek (Canal,) (so basically Wilmington with the north bit of Delaware & a bit of ne Maryland east of the Susquehanna River,) & most of the state of New York minus west of about Seneca Lake north/south.
15.) The overlooked islands of Colombia, San Andres and Providencia should probably join the Caribbean Union as a new nation within it too. (Just like Aruba, Curacao, & Bonaire or Trinidad & Tobago.)
16.) Nueva Esparta & the other islands near them & the ABC's called the Federal Dependencies of Venezuela should also be a nation within the Caribbean Union too.

Fun fact the northern region of Guatemala , known as "El Petén" is actually closer to Yucatan Peninsula culturally speaking than the southern part of Guatemala, so we could actually consider a Yucatan Republic including part of Guatemala, it makes more sense given their shared Mayan heritage.
What about the Republic of Lakotah and the Navajo Nation?

And that brings us to present day where Puerto Rico remains the only major Carribean island who hasn't gone independent yet. A new independence movement is growing tho. For the first time in our history, the independence party was actually very close of winning the elections. We were THIS close of having our very first pro-independence governor. So yeah who knows! We might finally achieve independence one day in the not so distant future. :)

Every single American right now who has a brain and is at least a fairly decent person: Yes, please let us separate from the mess that this country is becoming!!! Please!!!
To fix one small historical inaccuracy I noticed that might be lesser known by others which is the only reason I call it out, with the Yucatan one there was never a "Maya Empire". For much of their history, the Mayans were organized into countless city-states for the most part and any larger nations were typically just other kings that had sworn loyalty and vassalage to other city-states but still had considerable autonomy. But yes, you were correct in saying it is the Maya homeland were the vast vast majority of Maya people still live today.
I think a "United States of the Mississippi River" would be interesting. Kind of a big triangular country that covers the tributaries...a long Northern area ranging from Montana to Western PA (and bits of Canada) and then funneling down by Louisiana. It could be chaotic with little coastal access and the region differences, but I'd be interested to see how it developed and maximized its resources.
Aka OG Louisiana
No nicaragüense will ever agree with anything someone from El Salvador Honduras or Costa Rica has to say due to old rivalries and territorial disputes. Also Columbia occupies islands that should be part of Nicaragua.
it wouldn't make sense to have northern california and southern oregon not be part of the US still because of how STRONGLY patriotic/conservative they are to it, and it wouldn't make sense to give Oklahoma in its entirety its own nation instead of the Navajo region in Arizona
Newfoundland&Labrador should definitely be independent and it would be bad for Canada if Alberta left, but they’ve been traitorous lately, super conservative and brainwashed by the oil they have so Alberta would probably want to be independent as well despite infrastructure issues 4:58
The biggest issue I had was with how the rest of the US is drawn up for politics. It would leave New York, Illinois, and Minnesota as the only historically left leaning states left in the union dooming their people to conservative ideology from the south and Midwestern states. The balance of power would be hurt tremendously.
Oh well
They'd leave and take their tax revenue with them.
7:52 Congratulations President Jackson. You just recreated Indian Territory
EXACTLY trail of tears ass shit😢
3:15 "I just don't think it makes sense for countries to have enclaves..."
7:52 let's make a country completely enclaved in the U.S.
fr, if you're gonna break up the US, break it up. Embrace the balkanisation
I think he meant countries having enclaves in other countries not independent enclaves surrounded by one country
As an Oklahoman, our state wouldn't survive a week without an economic collapse
Central America isn't a continent. It's a part of North America, just like the Caribbean. So there's definitely a lot more than three countries in North America.
2:00 lmao anticosti island is already quebec why did u color it newfoundland
(btw its that island west of newfoundland island)
why did u not bring up bermuda and saint pierre and miquelon tho are they staying territories are they becoming independent
Dude you chose violence with these series of videos lmao
As someone who has lived in the PNW for nearly my entire life, I can tell you that the Cascadia movement is appealing mostly to the larger population centers in the western portion of the area. Most of the people east of the Cascade mountains do not want to be under the thumbs of Seattle and Portland more than they already are...
Also, New Hampshire and parts of Maine would not want to be under the thumb of Boston to a greater extent than they are right now.
Californians outside of Los Angeles and San Francisco would similarly suffer if California became independent.
As for the US losing Alaska, Hawaii, and access to the Pacific Ocean, h*** NO! The USA gains virtually nothing for these losses. Not going to happen.
Having lived in Alaska for many years I've always thought Alaska the Yukon and northern British Columbia should be united. But not connected to Canada.
I don’t like the idea of Oklahoma being independent because of the way the native Americans got there
saw greater new england on the map, and immediately liked the video
Yoo that quebec border is badddd, good vid tho
Alright you're gonna be state #59 or #62 now we haven't made up our minds yet
As an American, I dont know why New York, Maryland, and New Jersey would be left out of New England. They share a general culture. Same with Utah and Colorado in the Southwest. Finally, the North Rockies and South/Midwest aren't super culturally related, and Minnesota is kind of part of the Great Lakes Region due to it border them.
I dont mean to hate, but this hypothetical map isn't your best from my view.
Better title: Balkanising North America
0:18 Three countries do NOT take up the whole continent. They are the largest, but not the only. Central America is not it's own continent, neither are the islands of the Caribbean, both are part of North America. You're not "adding Central America because a full video doesn't make sense for them", you're adding them because they are a part of North America which is what this video is about. I've always laughed when Europeans say Americans don't know geography when the Americans can't name much of Europe, because it's overtly obvious that Europeans don't know any either when you ask them to name the countries of North America, most only know three, not all twenty three. Terrible start to this video.
I dont see why you wouldnt merge Canadian prairie provinces with the American plains states if your idea is merging regions with economic and social similarities.
What about CACA, Central American and Carribbean Alliance?
You kept Alberta (and Saskatchewan) in Canada, are you trying to start a rebellion
NewFoundLand was it's own Dominion until 1949 when it joined Canada, or as they say there, we joined them ;)
Is there I think you forgot New York in the conversation of being a part of New England because it is in the same metropolitan area so it would technically count
Let Texas and Quebec become their own Republics/countries or whatever. Both have been begging/threatening to leave their mother country. Just don't come back begging for financial aid. You got your freedom - now you are on your own.
I would give the Mexican panhandle between the Republic of California and Mexico to the USA, it just makes sense to me.
6:19
yeah no it wasnt a gruop of men took over ONE town for ten day in the far north were most peopel did not live thats like if a get a mob together to take over Valley City illinois for a week and declare a republic and then the history books say illinois was once an independent republic
How dare you not include MN with the Great Lakes
Sorry ❤
As a Canadian, I'll agree with this if GK agrees to merging Portugal with Spain.
That's fair!
Add the rest of cascadia to include its water shed, give the water shed of the rio grande to Texas, and the rest of the west could be a zion-dessert basin state/country with California. The plains could be split with the Mississippi river and be their own as well
Do not fear the Balkanisation! That's what we're here for! Give us the Great Lakes, United Dakota, Greater Navajo Nation, Independent Acadiana...
i appreciate oklahoma i rlly do cause im from oklahoma born and raised and am native but if you’re give the five civilized tribes independence there’s no way in hell the navajo nation won’t either
Central America is geographically North America.
Would have been nice to see Western New York added to either the Great Lakes Republic or Canada. Other than that I'm chill with the changes.
Have you read Joel Garreau's _Nine Nations of North America_ or Colin Woodard's _American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America_ ? They are interesting studies of the cultural and political difference among areas in North America, some of the areas overlapping the borders of existing countries. Either of them would suggest that your "all the rest of the USA", marked in cyan on your final map, ought to be further divided.
Evidently you don't have any viewers from the American South, or your comment section would be filled with complaints.
As an American I was hoping you’d chop us up more. Give The South away. I’d be alright with that and with becoming part of a Great Lakes Union or something.
7:19 That is the Columbián canal, it goes trough whole Columbia, and not Panama. :D
Quebec without the Gaspesie and the south shore of the St. Lawrence? I would say that the Quebeckers get mad about such a solution. Also, when here everything is fictional.
and here I thought you were going to draw realistic geographical borders and demarcations...
Getting this Acadian (and a few hundred thousands more) to live in an expanded New England is going to get real problematic real fast.
It’s on par with your acknowledged mistake of adding Québec’s Gaspésie and Bas-du-Fleuve regions to this new country.
The further northern part of California is more like the Cascadia region you made
Deseret would probably be the remaining western places west of Colorado, maybe NM would be part of it too but probably not
It wouldn’t be the Confederacy, but the South has it’s own culture that’s vastly different from anywhere else, maybe Atlanta or something would be the capital
The EZLN was not looking for Chiapas independence. I would suggest instead the little nation of Soconusco (a region in Chiapas) that indeed was looking for independence.
Fixing Oceania would be… challenging, to say the least.
