Description Sorry for the long wait in uploads. Again. I'm still working on Adrestia's Hammer, but that's such an ambitious project that I decided to take a break and work on a Ganymede post...which became an ambitious project unto itself. Still working on both, but I needed to do something quick that would leave me feeling like I accomplished something. So here we are, three days and many wind-flappies later...

Anywho, to celebrate my twenty-eighth consecutive orbit around the sun, I decided to post...whatever this is! I made about half of these flags in the last three or four days, and I assembled them together right before posting this. I have never made so many flags in so little time before, but I'm rather pleased with the results. EDIT: Also, this is the WORLD PREMIER of the new Overheaven logo. I like it. That is all.

So, in OH's lore, by the year 2020, the United States of America has 100 states. Not sure how many territories, probably lots more, but that's a story for another time, I guess. The states on Earth, Cislunar Space and Earth-Sol L5 all answer to DC, due to the communication lags being fairly mild, all things considered (Earth-Sol L5 is kinda pushing it, admittedly). The states on Mars and in Mars-orbit are governed by the Commonwealth of Tharsis; the states on Mercury are in the Commonwealth of Icaria; the asteroid belt states are in the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Minerva; the states on Europa are in the Commonwealth of...Europa (previously, this entity was called "Astoria", but I concluded that since the US controls the whole moon, there's no point in beating around the bush); and the states on Titan are incorporated into the Commonwealth of Fredonia. As laid out in another post, these are basically "franchised" federal governments, part of the "Greater United States".

A N Y W A Y.

•Micronesia (includes Palau), Puerto Rico (includes the Virgin Islands), Guam and Northern Mariana are of course all on Earth.

•Columbia is the state governing all American habitats in Low-Earth Orbit, while Elysia is High-Earth Orbit, and Liberty is Earth-Luna L5

•Kennedy, Plymouth and Armstrong are all on Luna

•Aurora is at Earth-Sol L5

•Laurentia, Eisenhower, New Saigon, Jefferson, Shambhala, King, Tempe, Valles Marineris, Olympus Mons, Alamo, Cydonia, Roosevelt, New California, Zephyria, Pomaika’i, Boralia, New Tacoma, Acadiana and Reagan are all on Mars, while New Archangel is on Phobos.

•Yeager, Fremont, Metropolis, New Carlsbad, Edison and Caloris are all on Mercury.

•Juno, Eunomia, Psyche, Iris and Cybele are all in the Main Asteroid Belt.

•New Anchorage, Lonestar, Keystone and Rathmore are on Europa.

•And last but not least, Sagan, Roddenberry, Asimov and Heinlein are the youngest states of the Union, located on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.

Yes. The original fifty states are present on Earth as well (the first few flags of the post are actually on Earth as well), I just didn’t want half of the graphic to be “familiar” flags.

Not usually, no. But I’m open to trying new things, and could go for something off the (long and ever-growing) docket. Send me a private message. I’ll pounce on it tomorrow. I’d say “tonight”, but I just bought Doom: Eternal, and it has hijacked my entire attention span.

Thanks!

As for r/worldbuilding, I imagine it’ll either be this (which I could probably post to Reddit after I get some breakfast), or the Ganymede map/doc. The actual Ganymede writeup is nearing completion. The big delay in it being finished is that I want to include graphics and illustrations in the writeup (to avoid copyright tisms, I’m hand-drawing quite a bit of the illustrations myself, and with help from my henchmen), which is a test-run for what I plan to do on a much larger scale for Adrestia’s Hammer, because that doc has so many gargantuan walls of text that I think I need to reward the patience of the audience with things to look at.

Since Adrestia’s Hammer is such a long-term project now, after “Heirs To Aquarius” (the Ganymede project), the next thing you might see here or on Reddit will likely be “Ursa Imperatrix” (a Callisto project), which I’m actually co-writing with two of my henchmen.
