The upcoming Brexit could be the beginning of a complete unwinding of many of the centralised political structures on the continent. Not only the Union but even some of the centralised nation states face break away regions in the aftermath.
Many new, smaller, states will likely exist in the aftermath of this collapse. Whilst the mainstream media is avidly following this disintegration and implosion in Europe little attention is being given to the North American continent. It too stands to undergo an equally radical transformation of its map, in the wake of the vacuum of the empire.
This fact is treated with incredulity by many, for some bizarre reason. It should be no surprise that territorial disintegration follows the collapse of Empire. We saw this very recently in world history with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. Our own cultural history should inform of this too, with the disintegration of the British Empire.
The current election cycle in the US shows that the crisis which has manifested in the empire is metastasising into its end point. Therefore, collapse of the empire can be expected now.
In preparation for this we will spend the next few weeks on TDA doing some hypothetical posts, wargaming what the coming map and political make up of the North American continent will most probably look like, in the coming few years. This probability is at an all time high, regardless of who wins the Presidency in the US.
A look at some of the moves on the continent, which will probably occur, can offer us an interesting opportunity to run some thought experiments on the coming geopolitical changes.
It may also give opportunity for members of some of the numerous secession movements that will be covered in these posts to consider there next moves. Here then, for the first post, are the maps which we will be using for our scenarios.
