Looking at your previous map… it was simplistic, but I liked it better, simply because no US states existed.
Your massive Soviet Union, United Arab Republic (presumably), Yugoslavia, and Mexico are nice- but I have a feeling they’re all taking far more than they can chew (Soviets w/ Poland and Afghanistan, Yugoslavia with Albania if not also the Croats and Bosniaks, and the UAR with Sudan if nothing else, and Mexico with the horde of Texan and midwestern settlers).
As for the unchanged flyover states/provinces of US/Canada… maybe a large indigenous Metis/Mestizo state might work? Something along the lines of a combined Tecumseh’s confederacy and the Red River rebellion would be pretty neat. And all the northern territories and Alaska… well, honestly I think the natives would be better off even if they threw their lot in as Russian protectorates (or just anything other than Anglo settlers)
I was thinking about it but since Poland is well… Poland, USSR deserves it. Afghanistan would be pretty safer in USSR than on it’s own… as we saw in last 4+ decades, the only peaceful time was when it was socialist and USSR protected it, this way no one would even dare to attack it.
About Yugoslavia: Tito planned to include Bulgaria and Albania, Bulgaria understandably since it’s Slavic country and the only one which wasn’t in Yugoslavia, but he also wanted Albania and Enver Hoxha was on board for some time so idk, I mainly included every planned but non-realized expansion for every country. Bosnia and Croatia are 2 of 3 most important Yugoslav countries, you can’t have Yugoslavia without half of it’s members and Bosnia is also the most Yugoslav friendly country, while the other 5 shit on Tito frequently on state level, Bosnia doesn’t have a nazi ideology spread that much. There are no bad countries as a whole in Yugoslavia, just bad governments and nazi minority, same as in most of Eastern Europe except like Baltic and Ukraine where it’s rare to find non-nazis. I have heritage from 4 Yugoslav countries and almost my whole family is based, wherever I go, people are always friendly, it’s just the fascist minority who barks the loudest and then you get the wrong view about countries. We need some serious re-education tho after all of the brainrot in last 30+ years, I definitely agree on that.
Yeah that could work, idk if ALL the remaining States and Provinces should be one huge country or a few bigger ones.

That’s a fair point, as an outsider looking in I’ll admit that probably I have the wrong view of Croats and Albanians in particular then.
My own experiences would probably tend towards such thinking (looking at the noisy fascists with and writing off- not all or close to it, but the majority of various groups) admittedly, coming from an imperial core country (Canada) and a heavily mentally colonized, racial minority family- people may be people wherever they go, but I’d assumed things were worse off (in my own shitpost/take on the Balkans I unified the Orthodox south Slavs, and cut off bits of most of Croatia to give to Slovenia, Bosnia, and Yugoslavia in comparison- a far less optimistic, more mean-spirited and “containing the Croats” sort of take)- it’s a pleasant eye-opener hearing how things are on the ground there.
Idk about Albanians, I haven’t been there, but all of people of Yugoslavia are super friendly. As for Croatia, I went on vacation multiple times and we have cousins living there(they’re not from Croatia, just living there) and I also have friends from Zagreb and Tito himself was half-Croat. It’s just that the situation is same as in other countries in Yugoslavia, i.e. rehabilitation of nazi collaborators ustashe, same as chetniks in Serbia, church, reactionary westoid puppet government etc etc.
Btw I have heritage from Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Macedonia.
