Balkanized North America

Published Tuesday, November 29, 2005 by CCAer | E-mail this post

Balkanized North America shows what North America might look like if every separatist movement on the contient succeeded in establishing its own country. The criteria include“regions which either:

administered themselves as autonomous nations at some point in American history, or ...
shed blood to achieve or maintain their independence, or at least ...
threatened to.

Feelings of alienation in Western Canada, apparently, don’t make the grade for this map maker. I daresay that if separatists had become so successful in North America even more nation-states would have resulted.

By way of Great Map.

If this cartographer thinks that Las Vegas is going to be ruled from Salt Lake City, he's got a lot of living to do.

Heh.. maybe in 1852. Wasn't Las Vegas founded by Mormons from Salt Lake City?
