Man, that would be awesome 👍
There’s that map of Moldova floating around this thread, and honestly, Moldova isn't even that much smaller than the US, looking at 33,000 vs 56,000 sq miles

Anyway
Wasn't there a mention of Pittsburgh somewhere too?

PS
Kinda sucks that this thread got locked, even if it did its job. Honestly, I was hoping to squeeze in another 10 before they shut it down. I’m especially hyped for the California entries. Might hit up one of the mods to see if we can keep a few slots open to toss those last ten in later, then I'll just kick off a fresh thread once we hit 10,000.

Inche, we had a million eyes on us. 👍

With the green light from Edi 99, Frank already dropped some maps, so I’m gonna dump all 10 we've made so far right here. Seriously, massive props to everyone involved. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I first started this thread 🙏 👍 🙂

Oh, and those Norwegians? They roll into the country, snatch up all the jobs, and start up ethnic gangs. 🤣

What about the Chinese?

They barely show up on the lists. Word is there are only a few thousand of them living in that one specific neighborhood.

Sean Sanders81 said:The Right = America and (Central Europe)
The Left = the former America and ties to the North American region

It’s going to take a long time before America develops a legitimate right wing and left wing—especially on the left. The right wing (not counting the radicals) basically ruined its reputation by flirting with extremist movements, while the left still has some serious work to do if they ever want to truly move past those old connections to Mexico and all those other regional territories.

I wouldn't say it's quite as direct as just saying America, that wouldn't be fair, but yeah. With the left, I definitely feel this gap where they're distant from places like Germany or the old Habsburg lands and Central Europe, while they seem way more open toward the North America.
Again, just my two cents. 🤷

Jose Carter2 said:It isn't that their standards are skewed... it's that Americans have them all backwards.

In the real world, "left" means collectivism, expanded social safety nets, higher taxes, and "free" healthcare and education. "Right" means individualism, fewer social programs, lower taxes, and a free market.

But because we lived through the era of communism, about 95% of people here are economically leftist—they view capitalism as an inherent evil—while convinced the only real difference between the parties is whether you support the old regime or the current American status quo.😂

Simple, but yeah, pretty much.

The left is skeptical of American nationalism, while the right is less interested in those former America countries. There are some minor disagreements too, like the role of the Church or recent stuff like gay rights—which wasn't even a real debate back in the 90s.

But honestly? Both sides hate foreign investors, local small business owners, and capitalism in general.

America 77.1% Liberal Party

ATAKA 84.1% (some Bulgarian nationalists)
ADR 76.9% (Luxembourg, some Conservatives)
LDP 76% (some Dutchmen, their Liberal Party)

I'm way further to the right here, but they didn't even ask my take on women's rights or gay rights, both of which I'm all for.

Amanda Brooks7 said:Before the "swap," they were both Russian, but after the "swap," one is Russian and the other is Ukrainian. 😂

Where'd you get that from?

The Ukrainians were way further east, and you've got Russians who have been colonizing that area since the USSR days.

nimbleharbor10 said:The Libertarian Party, what a joke.

Just drop your scale in the comments, it’s way easier that way.

OP, you haven't even put yours up yet 😁

LOL, I guess I'm a lefty again 😂

This kind of stuff pops up on the forum all the time, especially right before an election. It’s always someone asking, "Are you with the Republican Party or the Democratic Party?" 😉

Peter Edwards said:Back in the USSR, Russ were definitely hit hardest when borders were drawn near Ukraine and Kazakhstan—but I guess Ukrainians still have some fixed ideas about it.

Americans have basically been colonizing Ukraine and Kazakhstan since the days of the USSR.

I don't get why everyone is obsessing over Kinston. They didn't even care about Cleveland in that Treaty of London. It's pointless. Historically? No. Ethnically? Definitely not. Even looking at the economy or the transit routes, it just doesn't make sense. Total nonsense.

Bummer. That one works too, I guess, but man, it’d be killer if we had something like what they have in Wisconsin.

Interesting stuff. The narrower Temza gets, the higher the percentage of white people—whether they're Americans or not. I'm guessing housing is way more expensive there too.

Ethan Allen2 said:Haha, good luck finding a source there. Collins just makes stuff up as he goes. Honestly, besides Wikipedia, I doubt he’s ever picked up a book in his life.

Washington, D.C. based on the 1890 census, linguistic breakdown:

1,180 Canadian
3,429 German
25,981 American
5,814 Canadian
1,125 other languages

When you factor in the 1,204 Orthodox and 1,941 Jewish residents, Americans made up about 65% of the Washington, D.C. population that year. Either way, definitely didn't cross the 2/3 mark.

Alright, now you're just being extra.

The way you ignored me before and are now throwing shade shows what a slippery person you really are. I was one of the few people actually sticking up for you or stepping in when you had those little outbursts of intolerance toward Americans...

Man, fix your own issues before you start messing with people. If someone makes a mistake, you correct them, you don't just spit on them. Maybe once you grow up, you'll get that.

And yeah, I messed up on the Slovaks—I knew they were there, just didn't think of them right away. Regardless, even at those low numbers, Washington, D.C. was way ahead of other Slavic regions.

Like I said, in Poznań, only about 15% spoke Slovak, while in Washington, D.C., it was around 70% American. So the city had that American vibe even back then. Canadians and Germans combined were a measly 10%, compared to 82% in Vienna.

analogmarlin6 said:I was looking at some figures from 1890, so I was just curious where you were pulling your numbers from.

Here is what I found: 😁
http://cronologia.leonardo.it/mondo38j.htm

Take a look under May 1945 (May 1945, The 9th -> seventh republic)

haha alright, my bad. I went a little too hard there because it felt like you were baiting me, and honestly, we've always gotten along fine.

What I meant was that Washington, D.C. pretty much always had a massive American majority. It wasn't a city run by Germans or Canadians, and they definitely weren't the majority like they were in other parts of the American region—think about how things looked in places like Vienna back in 1918.

analogmarlin6 said:Any idea where that number comes from?

So what, you think New York City should have just been its own republic?

I don't even know why you're pushing this angle. Any data I look at shows Americans were always the clear majority. There weren't really any other groups in the modern era.

analogmarlin6 said:Columbus, circa 1910
German speakers = 479 or 4.39%
Jewish population = 604 or 5.54%
Total population = 10,900

Washington, D.C., circa 1910
German speakers = 3,965 or 5.31%
Jewish population = 4,192 or 5.61%
Total population = 74,703

Washington, D.C. never had less than 85.90% Americans
