Outline of the Post-War New World Map. Published 1942, Philadelphia, PA
The map was self-published by Gomberg and offered for sale for $1 in magazines such as American Teacher in 1942 and Survey Graphic in 1944 (seen here).

The Outline of the Post-War New World Map was a map completed before the attack on Pearl Harbor[1] and self-published on February 25, 1942[2] by Maurice Gomberg of Philadelphia. It shows a proposed political division of the world after World War II in the event of an Allied victory in which the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union would rule. The map includes a manifesto describing a "New World Moral Order", along with quotes from Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech.

Gomberg created the map as a personal project, and little else is known of him. The map has been highlighted by New World Order conspiracy theorists who believe it represents some broader view of the US government, and has also been widely circulated online.[3][4][5]

Description of proposed territories on map

The map proposes a total of 14 independent sovereign states, 13 of them democracies and 10 of them demilitarized.

 United States

The United States has 80 states, not including Security Outposts in the Pacific and the Atlantic, gaining all of Canada, Mexico, and Central America, among other places:

States: Alabama - Alberta - Alaska - Arizona - Arkansas - The Bahamas - California (historical Alta (Upper) California) - Colorado - Columbia - Connecticut - Costa Rica - Cuba - Delaware - Florida - Georgia - Greenland - Guatemala (Guatemala and Belize) - Haiti (including all of Hispaniola) - Honduras - Idaho - Illinois - Indiana - Iowa - Jamaica - Kansas - Keewatin (pre-1999 Northwest Territories east of the 110° meridian) - Kentucky - Labrador (mainland Newfoundland and Labrador) - Leeward Islands - Louisiana - Lower California (consisting of the Baja California peninsula) - Maine - Mackenzie (pre-1999 Northwest Territories west of the 110° meridian) - Manitoba - Maryland - Martinique - Massachusetts - Mexico (the remainder of Mexico) - Michigan - Minnesota - Mississippi - Missouri - Montana - Nevada - New Brunswick - Newfoundland (Island Newfoundland and Labrador) - New Hampshire - New Jersey - New Mexico - New York - Nicaragua - North Carolina - North Dakota - Nova Scotia - Ohio - Oklahoma - Ontario - Oregon - Panama - Pennsylvania - Prince Edward Island Porto Rico - Quebec - Rhode Island - Salvador - Saskatchewan - South Carolina - South Dakota - Tennessee - Texas - Trinidad - Utah - Vermont - Virginia - Virgin Islands - Washington - West Virginia - Windward Islands - Wisconsin - Wyoming - Yukon

Protectorates: - Celebes - Hainan - Halmahera Islands - Iceland - Moluccas Islands - Commonwealth of the Philippines - Taiwan

Port "Peace-security bases": Dakar and Freetown on the Atlantic coast of Africa

United States of South America

Everything below the Darién Gap, and offshore islands including the Falkland Islands:

- Argentina - Bolivia - Brazil - Chile - Colombia - Ecuador - Guiana - Paraguay - Peru - Uruguay - Venezuela

 United Kingdom - British Commonwealth of Nations

The British Commonwealth of Nations is headquartered in the United Kingdom, including England, Wales, and Scotland, but not Northern Ireland. The Commonwealth includes the former colonies of Madagascar (in early 1942 still a Vichy French colony), Ceylon, the Andaman Islands, Cyprus, most of Indonesia (in 1942 a Dutch colony occupied by Japan; other parts are given to the US), as well as the then British colonies that are now Singapore and Malaysian Borneo, South Georgia, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands, and the countries of Australia and New Zealand. A number of ports such as Aden and Zanzibar are also designated "peace-security bases".

Consists of the whole of the island of Ireland

Andorra - Belgium - France (France plus all of Germany west of the Rhine river) - Liechtenstein - Luxembourg - The Netherlands - Portugal - San Marino - Spain - Switzerland - Vatican City Later, - Italy

 Greece - Federal republic of Greece

The Federal Republic of Greece consists of modern-day Greece plus Albania and Macedonia. See point #24. Note that "Macedonia" is not clearly defined; the map seems to not include the modern country of that name. On the other hand, the map seems to cede Greek Thrace to Bulgaria.

 Soviet Union - Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

The Soviet Union would expand to be far larger than its then-current size:

existing Soviet Socialist Republics - Poland - Czechoslovakia - Hungary - Romania - Bulgaria - Yugoslavia - Estonia - Latvia - Lithuania - Byelorussia - Ukraine - Moldavia (all of Bessarabia) - Finland - Iran - Turkmen - Mongolia - Manchuria (Northern Manchuria)

Other nations
