ITT: People legitimately trying to name it, people saying "I'm American and I know this is fake," and people who get the joke trying to come up with a good name.

Basquistan.

The Basque population finally won their freedom, and carved out a bit of France for some elbow room.

Easy, that's Andorra the map is post WW3.

Texas is at the bottom of the map, genius. That's obviously West Nevada.

This honestly had me confused for longer than I'd like to admit.

I'm from east asia so european geography isn't my forte. But I like to think I've played even civilizations and total war games to have some familiarity with Europe.

As an American, this one is easy. That is the strange foreign socialist hellhole with a name I can’t remember because it’s probably not even in English.
