The State of Rhodesia and its Counties, USA By Artificer6 Watch

If the 'State of Rhode Island and and Providence Plantations' had its original borders modified slightly, and that's about it.



Some of the county borders have been modified to a degree - Bristol County is a fusion of both OTL Bristol County MA, and Bristol County, RI. TTL Bristol County, Plymouth County, and Providence County have all had their borders moved slightly north, with Providence County losing some land to Bristol County to conform to the Seekonk River. Rhodes County is a renamed Newport County, and has lost some land to Bedford County, which is otherwise made up of OTL Southern Bristol County, MA. Bedford County is the only wholly new county on the map, otherwise, each of the counties shown on this map exist OTL in some fashion.



Despite the name, nothing to do with the mid-twentieth century Southern African state - the name grew to eventually be pronounced differently, in fact ('Roh-dez-ee-ah' instead of Ro-dee-zhuh ').



Some statistics: With a population of about 2.3 Million, 'Rhodesia' is the 36th most populace state (compared to 43rd for Rhode Island OTL), and places 49th in terms of land mass, at about 2.7k square miles (moving up one spot over OTL Rhode Island, which stands at 50). In both cases, it moves down exactly one spot if territories are included (Dang you Puerto Rico!).

This one was sitting on my HDD in a state of 99% completeness for much too long. A sudden case of 'Oh Christ I think my PC just broke' fixed that situation. As always, any critique welcome.
