comment |
What its creator Matthew White calls a "surreal history". The site proposes what the United States of America would look like if it was a Middle Ages version of itself. No fantastical elements. No radioactive mutants or wizards. It's strictly what North America would look like, with its current ancestry, religious values and culture, but only a medieval level of technology to work with. Because it's 1000 years into the future, it doesn't quite count as Alternate History, but it largely appeals to that crowd. The site is here, but it has not been updated in over a decade.Compare After the End: A Post-Apocalyptic America. |

comment |
Deep South: Somewhat different from most portrayals, in that African ethnicity and culture made a much more visible mark on the region. However, there are a few flags with the Stars and Bars motif. |

Divided States of America |
| | Atlas of Medieval America (Website) / int_4482e1ef |
comment |
Divided States of America: Naturally, but here's some examples: The United States of America is an oligarchic maritime republic centered in Baltimore that controls isolated enclaves and the major shipping lanes along the East Coast extending into Canada. The Great Plains are inhabited by a loose confederation of nomadic tribes. The Confederate States (including an independent Georgia and the "Red River Territory") have reverted to plantation slavery but not along racial lines as everyone in the South is biracial by that point. California splits into the northern "Republic" and the Scientologist-controlled southern "Free Zone". The "Territory of Iowa" is a military dictatorship controlling all land between the Missouri and Wabash rivers. The "State of Deseret" is a Mormon theocracy controlling Wyoming and parts of Utah and Ohio. Washington DC became a city-state under the control of the American Non-Denominational Church similar to the Holy See, with the Supreme Court and Chief Justice filling the roles of the College of Cardinals and Pope. It also mentions several warlords in the East and hydraulic empires clustered around rivers in the Western desert. |
