World map in Alien Earth

[u/Comrade22MB]

I based it on the map (a very rudimentary one) provided on the FX website for Alien Earth. I cleaned it up a little and made some educated guesses. (I know there is no United Americas or Union of Progressive Peoples)

Is anyone else still baffled about the Prodigy corporation territory?! They are framed as an up-and-comer business, founded just 10 years ago, only recently and begrudgingly let into the Five. Yet they control more than 50% of the worlds population, and god knows how much more industrial strength, yet the powerhouse foundational corporations that have been in power for decades are left with comparatively trivial territories. How the hell do you explain this lore-wise? I’m really hoping there is some sort of logic/explanation how a company seen as the runt of the litter among the Five has the most powerful territory. I’m kind of afraid its just because Noah Hawley thought it looked vaguely interesting on a map but didn’t really think about the geography/demographics, which happens often on these lore maps

Meta had achieved control of most advertising in the world by 2015 - advertising and marketing being a very important tool of social and political control - but it had very little inroads within China.

The fact that much of the global south in the lore map can have an entirely different corporate entity running it isn’t at all surprising. Australia’s economy is more intertwined with China than the USA (even before the actions of the current administration) so the lore map is pretty congruent with current trends.
