Annals of The Most Glorius Oh Heyean Empire, AI 1947

Dieari of His Supreme Excellency the Most Valourant First Emperur of The Ohioan Desolacy, Jason Deezkelohioa, dated AI 0 - unknown

​

Day 1:

It has been 1 month since the country got.. transported? I have no clue what it's supposed to be, though the 'weebs' call it being 'esehkaid' or something. Of course, as you'd expect, the country imploded almost immediately. Indeed, the states immediately began to jostle for power and territory of their own! Of course, I too took the opportunity to claim Sweet Home Ohio as my own! So far, this world seems quite interesting. I've had reports from the Nova Californian-Cascadian Democracy and some parts of the Holy Texan Empire that there be dragons! There are also rumours from some of the generals that the Fair Folk and orcs exist in the north, and huge serpents in the sea, though those are yet to be checked out. So far, thank God there aren't any invasions into the Desolacy! They must fear me, Long Live Ohio!

Archivist's note 1: Given our understanding of the time, it is to be noted that the 'Ohio' was left uninvaded as the area was generally avoided by the surrounding territories and even it's own former leaders.

Archivist's note 2: The dominant powers of the fleeting era were the Eastern Republic, streching from the territories of 'Mane' to 'Meriland' and ruled from a 'Niu York', the South Dakotan Confedracy occupying much of the area west of Ohio, the Nova Californian-Cascadian Democracy occupying the areas west of the South Dakotan Confedracy and the Holy Texan Empire occupying the southern parts of the former 'United States'.

​

Day 2:

Today, the geographers ventured to our former lake border and beyond and just sent word. As it turns out, Canada isn't north of us anymore, and so isn't the lake. Instead, there exists a swamp covering most of old Lake Erie, and beyond it vast steppes as far as the eye can see. They have even seen what appear to be smoke from fire pits in the distance! I have preemptively sent word to the Ohioan 2nd Militia to be stationed at what I now call the Deezlands. Damn, is communication hard without the internet! None of our tech stuff work here!

Archivist's note: Geographical records state the existence of a lake, Erie as well as a nation called Canada above Ohio.

​

Day 3: The 2nd Militia is reportedly well on its way to the Deezlands. On a worse note, I have received reports of Eastern and Texan spies infiltrating the heart of the Desolacy, as well as the harrowing observation that the South Dakotan army is marching westwards. Damn it!

​

Day 10: The Expansion Minister, my old buddy at the bar, briefed me on our progress at the Deezlands. There live orcs on my lands! As it turns out, the valley we reached is the end of the known world for the locals, and sparsely populated. The nearest kingdom is the Ntrooto (pronounced nut-roo-too or something) around 500 km north. Can't wait to meet them, that'll show them dirty Easterners! At the behest of the War Minister, another old friend, I mobilised the Ohio Black Squad for all of our, ahem, illicit activities like espionage. It is confirmed that the South Dakotan Confedracy is coming straight here, so I also created the Ohio 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th militias to steamroll the little governments out west and hopefully crush the Confedracy. Long Live Ohio!

It's hilarious that there isn't a single mention of Michigan,the state that makes up their entire northern land border and achieved statehood through war with ohio.

Michigan is what's north of ohio, not canada, and would fight an invasion far too hard to just not mention it, if not defeat it completely and counter invade in retaliation but there's no mention of any transported territory north of them at all, there's nothing there, which means Michigan was left in the old world with canada,and maybe Alaska too.

Evidently this was the contiguous states with some of the northern border cut off,so back in the old world there would just be Michigan,Alaska,Hawaii and all the island territories...and whoever wasn't in the transported area at the time,including like 800 military bases,a bunch of naval assets like carrier groups and submarines,diplomatic institutions and so on.

So in the old world a huge chunk of the US population is suddenly made up of a huge chunk of the military and foreign service,and the normal line of succession to determine who's in charge only has one person in the top 20 or so that's from a state not effected,if they happened to be at home and the rest weren't abroad. To appoint her president would take an emergency constitutional amendment by 2/3 of congress or something though,since she born in canada and moved at age 4. Fortunately for the first canadian Michigan woman president of the United States,the remainder of congress(again if they were at home at the time) would consist of up to six senators with 2/3 being of the same political party,14 house members from Michigan and only 2 from each of the other two possibly remaining states, and 5 from territories that don't get a vote anyways.

TLDR You said Michigan wasn't there,so back home all the remaining global military power of the USA goes to Michigan.

November 19, 2022 - OTTAWA

Disaster response coordinators of Public Safety Canada have confirmed initial reports of cataclysmic events on the Southern border. For reasons yet unexplained, the territory of the United States of America, including Alaska, has vanished along the entire length of the border, to a depth of approximately 8.5 meters. Nothing is known to date of the fate of the several hundred milliion inhabitants.

It remains completely mysterious both why and how this huge amount of topsoil and bedrock could have disappeared, although the North Korean government has claimed and then denied responsibility several times so far.

Communities on the Canadian side of the border report hundreds of deaths and significant destruction from subsidence after landslides and undercutting on the coasts from sea water rushing inland. Water levels in the Great Lakes have dropped significantly. Similar reports are reaching us from Northern Mexico.

The state of the State of Hawai'i is unknown as yet. Some non-state territories like Puerto Rico and Guam remain in radio contact, though telephone services are interrupted.

NAV Canada confirms on request that multiple long-range aircraft with US destinations have diverted to airfields in Canada. Reports of distress calls from regional airliners with insufficient fuel to reach populated areas remain unconfirmed, although the RCAF has announced a press conference on the matter later this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Senator Ted Cruz of what used to be Texas has declared himself the highest-ranking survivor in the political line of succession, and has formed a temporary government-in-exile based in Cancún. US Overseas military bases have been observed to be on high alert.

An urgent plenary debate in the United Nations will be scheduled once the nations of the world have appointed a new batch of ambassadors and agreed on a venue.

THIS STORY WILL BE UPDATED AS EVENTS DEVELOP

Island in the sea of time, it comes from a novel of that name, for those not in the know.

There's at least a "2012 US transported to 1984" out on the net. It's glorious.
