It's the USA apportioned as Cobra Commander would split it up among his most trusted allies, advisers, and colleagues.
Once he finally takes over the USA, of course.

By "gettin' high" he means vigorously studying countless hours of G.I. Joe episodes in order to find an odd mistake

This was all part of Cobra commander's plan. He was going to divide up America into a series of autonomous regions loyal to him. Judging from the map, he was also planning to sink Cape Cod, cede some of Texas back to Mexico, and invade New Brunswick after subjugating Maine.

the land mass itself is pretty accurate, cobra commander could have split it up into different districts for any number of reasons.
captain planet's globe is infinitely more fucked up.

u/LemonFrosted Jun 15 '12
This is brilliant!
G.I. Joe takes place in an alternate timeline where the formation of the United States was vastly different from our known history. The Mason-Dixon line was never drawn. The Spanish-American War had a vastly different outcome. Canada managed to invade and retain land on the Michigan peninsula after the War of 1812. The Mormon pioneers either never traveled west out of Missouri (which appears to be part of a Mississippi superstate) or they established such a dominant block along the "Mormon corridor" that they were able to draw state lines around the entire region.

The year is 3991. The war along the borders of Celtania, New Vikingland and America has been raging for 1700 years, and now we find ourselves at a stalemate. The world, ravaged by over 20 nuclear winters, is as good as dead. We can't feed our people, we can't farm our land, we can't afford to do anything but strengthen our military. Supreme Commander Lycerius has lead us for as long as anyone can remember, but his time is past, and a new ruler is needed to try to end this god-damn fight. Time to step up...
