Let me know if you do decide to do that, since the longer since the world "ended" the more creative freedom is offered to everyone in creating unique nations and old world cults. Such as the deification of the George Washington and the founding fathers, or other stuff like that.

I'm thinking of having it be more or less 50 years since the fall of the US, about one full generation if people are okay with that.
Funny you should mention the deification of the George Washington and the founding fathers, I'm actually using a religion called "Americanism" (or something like that) which worships the founders as gods :lol

Also, more for @All, currently reserved states are:
Texas
PA
Both Carolinas
Michigan

Consider those entire states's lands to be unclaimable unless people claim land outside/different from current state borders, which you are more than welcome to do. And also make new nations not based in a single state as well! ^^
