Confederate States of America

The Confederate States of America is a map made by ArcticAxis that depicts the secessionist states (not including territories) of the American Civil War in 1860 (the year before the war's opening engagement). CSA, as the map is commonly abbreviated as, is considered by some to be the first "micro" map, or a map consisting of primarily fairly small territories, including some under a stud in at least one dimension.

When it was originally created, the map closely resembled the population density of the region in the time period.This resulted in a natural imbalance, as the eastern and coastal regions had a significantly higher population density at the time. The primary concern was the weakness of any Texas spawn, though especially San Antonio. Over several revisions the map was balanced out through means such as custom spawns and increasing city count, and now CSA is (roughly) balanced. The map includes a high level of supplementary terrain on the coasts, including some larger islands.
