Description

This is the third and final map of a series of 3 maps that I'm unable to finish due to technical and personal issues (The laptop I've using to make maps is basically on it's last legs, making me leave vector mapmaking via Inkscape) . And I don't think I will for a long while. This is the last one, the one both the most proud and gives me the most pain that I was unable to finish it in a few days
The map premise is something like the US but with a shitton of states/municipalities. Like 225ish or like that (roughly with all of these with the population of D.C x 2 (1.400.000 ish)(except D.C itself)). It doesn't really have much lore. Other than the US is probably an unitary state rather than a federation.
A thing I'm trying is to shape them in a way that it makes sense with how US states are often shaped (I hope), unlike other takes I seen on the “US with equality populated states” where they either go hard on truly accuracy or they go far on trying to keep each border based on natural features, while forgetting usually what makes an state looks believable. Without offence to any of the makers those maps of course.
Credits where credits is due. This entire project wouldn't be possible without this map [OC] The contiguous US divided into 433 districts of almost equal population by /u/yeontura as it was both the largest source of inspiration and base for the entire project. (I'm sorry you have to see the project in this state and not finished as I wanted). Also big thanks to both /u/Atzyn and /u/aidsmaster444 / OurLordAndSaviorAids for helping me out with some of the state names, and also to the After the End mod for CK2 and soon CK3 for further name borrowing.
