Have a read of my new Fiction (written when I was extremely bored).
I also photoshopped a logo and a map in a few minutes, so excuse them as well.

Fantastic! The map itself is brilliant. I'd really like to see a world map of this, but I know that these are quite time consuming to make. Brilliant story line as well, interesting way of introducing the back-story. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

With GIMP, the map making is actually really quick (I have the unit markers from a previous project of mine).

Unfortunately, the high quality, easily edited map of Europe with rivers does not exist for the rest of the world.
So other maps would be far less impressive..

I like it, especially how you made us Americans (I believe) look like total assholes, because really, every one of us is an asshole, if you dig deep down...

COMPLETE HONESTY

The fat lad isn't representative of the whole country.

You'll see that us Europeans are assholes as well.whenever I start the actual combat chapters.
Especially with remaining survivors.

No, I mean really, you'd have to be hard pressed to find an American that isn't an asshole. Do you find this valuable?

Pretty much. And that includes me. Even right now, because I'm calling the whole western world an asshole. Do you find this valuable?

Glad you think so.

I've tried to reflect European and American cultural elements regarding control.

Europe has a centralised state with an official military because we Europeans prefer government intervention in many cases.
Americans on the other hand are much more self-reliant according to your own philosophy, and so I made America vastly uncontrolled with thousands of self-ruling survivor settlements.

Personally, (disregarding previous sarcastic remarks), I like it, and would like to see it grow. Mainly because it's very well written, and has a good plot (so far, so don't fuck it up). Do you find this valuable?
