It's part of a book that goes into more detail.
Damn the map is so small I cannot see clearly if I am in El Norte or Greater Caligaland. I it is the latter though.
I hate that Shadowrun doesn't have a fixed time but a developing timeline, I can't be bothered to keep up.

Ah thanks. Yes Fireblade and Caliga are my countrymen while you foreign San Antonio bastards are over in El Norte.
Greater Appalachia jibes with my own observations, but I don't get Yankeedom in the upper Midwest.

Agreed, you folks are gross.

So after 9 nations, there are 11?
The author Joel Garreau suggested in 1981 that North America was culturally/economically divided in 9 nations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nine_Nations_of_North_America
I really wonder how accurate is this new book, because putting southern Louisiana with Québec and part of New Brunswick makes a lot of sense. :wacko:

I.feel.like we definitely talked about this more recent one a few years back.
Anyway, we're in a whole new century!
Not really a new concept. There was a 1981 book called "The Nine Nations of North America" that advanced similar, though obviously not identical, ideas.

The old one was also a bit wonky:
QuoteThe Foundry — the by-then-declining industrial areas of the northeastern United States and Great Lakes region stretching from New York City to Milwaukee and down to the suburbs of Washington DC in Northern Virginia, and including Chicago, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Toledo, Philadelphia, and Southern Ontario centering on Toronto. Capital: Detroit.
An area that includes NYC, Toronto and Chicago - and its capital is
Detroit? :lol:
Back to the drawing board with that!
Detroit natives will thrive in the post-apocalyptic world, due to their greater experience.

You make a good point. :hmm:

Why yes we did. (http://languish.org/forums/index.php/topic,10689) You can tell even this one is old since Tampa and Orlando aren't part of the Spanish Caribbean.
I had suggested Siege use that premise as the basis of his novel in this thread (http://languish.org/forums/index.php/topic,10708). I don't think he listened to me, though. :(
