Oops I Balkanized New England
Age of Friction, 1934. An alternate history scenario with three major points of divergance:
1798 — Radicalization of the Swiss Militia System: The concept of total decentralization and the universal citizen-defense model spread throughout Central Europe, proving that small, heavily armed populations could permanently deter massive empires.
1837 — The Loco-Foco Revolution: In North America, the radical equal-rights faction dismantled the federal standing army, banned centralized municipal police monopolies, and outlawed corporate security syndicates, shattering the United States into localized federations.
1871 — Triumph of the Paris Commune: The successful bottom-up defense of Paris sparked an international syndicalist wave across Europe, replacing monarchies and republics with an interconnected Federation of Communes running on collective labor and open-source technology.
The map is a work in progress, but feel free to ask about any region and I'll tell you about the faction in control of it!
