      You know more than you might think.

      Glass is an other one. Superfluids, Supersolids, condensates, superconductors, you might know as well.

      Then there are the others: liquid crystal, microphase, fermionic condensates, degenerate matter, quark matter, color glass condensate, string-net liquid, superglass, chain-melted state, quantum hall state, and photonic matter.

    New Canada implies a possible universe where Canada plans a 3 day special military operation to free the oppressed people of Canada that live within US borders

    Honestly, as a European I dare say most Europeans couldn’t name all 50 states, and definitely not place them on a map.

    I’m confident I could correctly place Texas, Florida, probably California and maybe Kentucky if the borders were drawn.

    Naming more than one or two state capitals? Forget it!

    Edit: quite sure about Alaska and Hawaii too, but I forgot those (see!).

      Fellow European, seconding this. I can roughly point out Georgia and New York instead of Kentucky and Michigan is easy because of the coast line. I’ve been to the east coast, I couldn’t point out the state I was in to save my live.

      All these straight borders are confusing AF anyway.

      Yeah, but the average us-american couldn’t even begin to name the départements of France for example. Or anything on the scale of NUTS1 in Europe or Brazil or China.

    This map brings up so many questions. One could assume that some sort of magic shifted the earth enlarging it, or it’s an alternate reality of some sort. How does politics work in this version of America? This is easily twice the area of the real USA, I imagine it’s basically impossible to govern these lands federally. It’s already difficult enough as it is in reality with all these incompetents in charge.

    What would the population look like? Would it be the same in all real states and a proportional amount in new ones? Or would it be more spread out, with urban centers farther apart?

    Is there a source for this image? Like, is there a preexisting lore for it? Or can I roll with this and have fun?

        There’s a high probability that the rest of the world is wider as well… since it seems like the states never grew higher… is there a whole new section at the equator filled with new continents/countries?

    The longer you look, the more ridiculous the names are. “Ohio”, what the hell kind of name is that?
