Another manner by which may be the local wildlife as with radically different biomes, some places would have very different residents. The most glaring examples are North Africa and southwest Asia; which now have a subtropical monsoon climate, connecting with both subsaharan Africa and India...

You mean like in the Long Earth series by Stephen Baxter and Terry Pratchett? That could definitely work. If it was a ‘virgin earth’ like in the novel, then countries could either settle their old homelands despite the different climates or go for approximations of their old one.

Thank you, I’m happy to hear feedback and such about the dynamics of this world and what you think the distribution of plants and animals would change to.

Posted on the lore thread already, but this is an update regarding it; Instead of posting in a giant bunch of updates, this is an overhaul I've been working on lately for different conditions for each region of this timeline, including more local data for climate, with help from others. Enjoy...

True, though this is for prograde or counterclockwise worlds, retrograde ones would be the reverse for currents, and obviously different rotation speeds, obiquity and orbital variations would influence things too.

It’s a worldbuilding speculative evolution and alternate history project rather than a narrative story per se, though who knows, maybe a story set in this world could be an option in the future. Yes, I intentionally left it vague in order to focus on the consequences of the event rather than...

Further afield, the place where horses first came from, North America also gave some of the first cultures to domesticate the creatures, alongside Camelops, a somewhat larger relative of the Bactrian of Central Asia, though certainly not as the giant Arabian camels. A culture of grassland...

Similarly, in Southern Asia, the conditions lay ripe for settled societies with multiple functions to evolve. Developing writing, stone walls around settlements and religious codes to set and encourage legal structures, these early nations did well for themselves. Larger Settlements grew around...

Yet another place of prosperity for settled peoples was around another island of green in a large desert, in the east of North America. The Mississippi, with its many tributaries and winding down through the canyons to the north, provided ample opportunities for human settlers to call it home...

“One can hardly imagine such a world without the vast potential and life-giving abilities of the Sahara or Arabia, lands which have birthed nation after nation after nation, and will continue to do so long after I am dead. The ingenuity of our peoples, as divided as they may be, couldn’t be...

What do people think are powers that can easily be “scary” if utilised a certain way. I have an idea for a villainous character who has similarish powers to Sue Storm around force field manipulation, ie telekinesis, invisibility and inaudibility, force field creation, energy constructs. I...

No, I was just using them as an example of a non-megafauna creature to speculate the different biogeography of it, and see how far could they plausibly migrate into this alternate North America. That being said I do plan on doing an update set in this world’s California and they may make the...

I actually designed an expanded Koppen category system for something like this; This was done to better represent more alien climates such as those found in high obiquity worlds, hothouse or ice age conditions.

These climate maps give an idea as to the conditions of this world, but it’s not always easy to speculate necessary conditions for things like certain animal clades. Where do you think would be some of the best places for opossums for example, since the desertified southeast would be a major...
