  • (not ReacTor) Carving Up the US

    From James Nicoll@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 4 14:13:15 2025
    Every once in a while, ReacTor passes on an essay of mine. This would
    be one such piece.

    Enhance your world-building by carving up nation-states, using the
    United States of America as the example.

    Tasmania.
