zippyt, I love that type of map. As it turned out, we all did better than merely ending up with "Quarantined Germany" and "Quarantined Japan." Even the immediate "Occupied" was a better result than "Quarantined," but I'm talking about modern Germany and Japan having done a pretty nice job of adapting to the "New World Moral Order" proclaimed on the 1942 map.

Bruce, as for the giant North Sea polder, won't this make it just impossible to control the movements of football hooligans? Otherwise, I like this confident part:

HUGE DAM TOWERS
90 FEET ABOVE THE
NORTH SEA TO FORM
ARTIFICIAL COASTLINE


I want to see the polar icecap expanding toward it when the next Ice Age comes along. Then there will international calls for increased greenhouse gases, and Illinois will become a "coal sheikdom," richer than Dubai for its huge reserves of dirty coal. And like in Dubai, somebody might put up bold, tall buildings in Illinois cities.
