Yea the KGB dude just needed something colorful to show his bosses. A serious analysis certainly wouldn’t have a huge chunk of these US falling under Canadian influence...?!

The map actually details what foreign nations will claim and rule over America. As in the Americans don’t have a say. Foreigners will claim their parts after America falls from internal strife.
