This page is divided into the following sections:
Click on the country names to return to the top of the page. Map of the World | Europe | Asia | Africa | North America | Central America | Australasia | Antarctica Much of South America is divided differently to in the real world, as the Granadine Confederation (the predecessor of real world Columbia) broke up differently. Some names are still the same, however. Panama and another former part of the Granadine Confederation are French; both were ceded to them by the puppet Spanish government, or the post-colonial government. There are still British, Dutch and French-controlled Guyanas. ArgentinaAn Argentinean revolution gave it its independence from Spain and made it a separate state. This allowed in Welsh settlers. A highly ideological UER regime came to power in a bloody second revolution, leading to massacres and Union intervention that split Argentina into four states - New Wales, rump Argentina (an oligarchy), Gran Chaco and the Kingdom of Mapuche. BrazilBrazil became a part of the Comunidade Portuguese rather than an independent nation, much like the British bits of North America (such as Hudsonia). It was influenced in this by Britain due to it and Portugal's close relationship. Because of Brazil's larger population, it now dominates the Comunidade Portuguese. CharcasMuch the same as real world Bolivia. ChileMuch the same as in the real world. Gran ChacoThe North-west of real world Argentina, it is a dictatorial a state formed when Argentina was broken up by the Union. LibertatiaThe only surviving nation of escaped slaves, Libertatia used to go all the way to the Atlantic, but the eastern part of it was lost in a war with France. Libertatia is a poor but highly democratic and fiercely independent state. The Kingdom of MapucheThe very southern tip of Patagonia, in real world Argentina, formed when Argentina was broken up by the Union. It is ruled by a royal family descended from the native Spanish nobility. New Wales (Cymru Newydd)A parliamentary democracy formed by the actions of the Union to protect the people of Welsh descent living in Argentina when it became a fanatically UER regime in 1870. It makes up a section of real world southern Argentina, plus the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, and is a full member of the Union with a significantly larger Welsh population than old Wales in Britain. The political capital of New Wales is at Rawson on the mainland of South America. However, its main military bases are on the Falkland Islands. The people of New Wales originally left Britain to preserve Welsh language and culture, and as such they work hard to preserve these things, even if, now, within the context of the Union. [This is similar to what happened in the real world (more information from the same site or from the BBC).] New Wales originally had a similar flag to those of the other British-settled parts of the Union, with a red dragon on the dark blue field of the Blue Ensign.
However, the Spanish population of New Wales objected to this, and the design was changed to a green field.
After further objections the flag was changed to the form is has kept to the present day, that of a red Welsh dragon on the pale blue and white-striped background of the previous Argentinean flag.
ParaguayA struggling nation much the same as in the real world. PeruNever having recovered from its dictatorial Rationalist regime at the beginning of the 20th century, Peru is one of the poorest and most corrupt nations in South America. UruguayMuch the same the real world Uruguay, if rather bigger.
