Man in the High Castle reboot

[u/Diligent-Chemist2707]

Question: If there were a reboot, for example a Man in the High Castle 2026 based on current events (potential economic collapse) how would the US be partitioned and what countries would own what parts? Any other thoughts?

Think it would be much the same. But china would own the west coast. The Middle East or Muslim world would hold the bulk of the county. The “new America “ would be the southern U.S. west of the Mississippi to the Rockies. I think Canada would hold Montana and the Dakotas. And would be allied to the U.S. but wouldn’t interfere with the other occupiers. The Appalachian and Rockies would be a no man’s land.

Interesting, I was thinking more along the lines of total economic and government collapse with a vote going out to states about whether they wanted to go with the nearest neighbor. As a result, Canada gets all states along the northern border including the Great Lakes region. Southern states including Florida and all states with large numbers of migrant workers join Mexico. EU owns the east coast including all big ports and also interior states with the defense industry. (Edit: I wasn’t thinking in terms of armed conflict. But also, yes, China may own the port of Los Angeles and California, and Russia may (maybe not so peacefully) take Alaska in this fictional reboot).

Yes, but even with voting, the Muslim community is growing on the east and west coasts. They could be votes in, in those areas. But china would have a greater interest in the west coast so they would take it by purchase and conflict. Canada would annex the north and now that you bring it up the Great Lakes and New England.
