This is from a tv show where ALL power in the world is turned off, It is very interesting The nations appear as thus
Monroe Republic
- Military Dictatorship headed by General Sebastian "Bass" Monroe, Taxes are collected from crops, civilians owning fire arms are illegal and any flag other then the flag of the Monroe republic is Illegal The Army is called the Monroe Militia Originally using muskets as the lack of ammo affected them greatly but have been seen wielding m4's and other m16 variants as well as AK-47's their capital is PhiladelphiaGeorgian Federation
- A prosperous Democracy with a well developed agricultural economy, due to the south's climate they can farm cotton and other crops considered extremely valuable, Their leader is president Foster and have hostile relations with the Monroe Republic and are allied to the Plains Nation. Large well equipped Army.Capital: Atlanta
the Plains Nation - A confederation of small tribal clans living in tent cities, not much is really known all though it seems it is very lawless and all crimes are punishable by death. They have no central government and not much is known about their military if they have one. Unknown capital
Texas - Unknown but we assume it is like it is today, harsh conservative government ripe with executions. unknown capital
Californian commonwealth - The only thing known about them is their leader is called governor Afflic or Afflac unknown capital
In the last episode of season one the power was turned back on and it is relieved the USA still does exist and it's government is based in Guantanamo bay Cuba, one of their Agents named Randal Flin used the power to launch two nukes at Philadelphia and Atlanta (capitals of the Monroe Republic and Georgian federation) The reason being the US Government could come and reclaim the eastern seaboard and reform the USA.
Edit: As of now it is certain that the nukes had hit Philadelphia and Atlanta, Monroe had been overthrown for a short time before the power had been turned on and Phili and Atlanta have been wiped out, President Foster is dead and both states seem to have collapsed. New "war tribes" appear, they launch raids in Texas for food, weapons, and women

i wathed one episode it looked interesting but i didnt keep up with it
Same here, looked good but I lost interest after episode 1
I find it funny, there was a scenario run by the government back in like 2002 if this was to happen. Regardless no country in the world could still invade even those nations...... Elecricity or not, American arsenal has been updated with all kind of weapons/technology even if we was hit by a EMP.
The study also reviled that all someone has to do is detonate a nuke in the atmosphere above the country to cause a massive EMP.
That's actually where the basis of modern EMP comes from; early high-altitude nuclear tests reveled the effect 🙂
I thought the idea came from Solar Flares
perhaps the idea came from solar flares but they didnt know how to replicate it?
solar flares = radiation, but they dint know nukes do the same effect until America tested a nuke in high altitude and there ships got EMP'd it was found out by accident. Then i think the Russians where trying to duplicate the Nuke which does land and EMP damage by making the Tzar bomb. But to there failure they discovered that no matter how much boom you put in a nuke its still limited by the air and atmosphere.

The TV Series/Show is called Revolution for anyone who wanted to know.
Was waiting for that one little overlooked detail.
What !!!!!, no OKLIEHOMA ???????????????????????????????????????
Lots of books about a future where the US splits up.
I liked Varient 13 as one of the better ones
does anyone ever wonder what would have happened if the confederates/southern states had won the civil war?
It was a union only for war so it is possible the states would have broken up into their own countries, and slavery would of gone out of favor in the early 1900's, Other then that I'm sure that not much else would be different.
They would probably have to stop slavery otherwise they would not be able to trade with many country's but I doubt they would join up with the union again. There would be to much hatred. They would probably end up a very poor country due to the fact that they had no industry that could sustain a country
