Here's What Game of Thrones' Map Would Look Like If It Was Based in America

Welp that makes me a Dornishman. Can't decide if that's a good thing or not.

Thought I'd have a crack at making an England version:

-Winterfell = Manchester


-King's Landing = London


-Oldtown = Chester, or York.




- Casterly Rock = Bamburugh Castle, Northumberland.

Spoiler

- Highgarden= ??



- Eyrie = Cornwall



- Harrenhal = Birmingham (?)


- The Wall = Hadrian's Wall


- Castle Black = Carlisle


- Dorne = ??

Wasn't sure about a couple, Dorne is quite difficult because we don't have any dry and arid areas in England, and being a small country London is applicable to lots of different categories. Still, at least we have actual castles and actual walls which make the comparisons quite easy.

If the wall is the US/Canadian border, then that makes Canadians the Free Folk. Quite the tongue in cheek commentary about the state of freedom in the United States.

I would put Newcastle as Winterfell

Wales as the Vale because it is quite mountainous and hilly

The reach is definitely Kent/the southeast (it's called the garden of England!)

Yorkshire with it's forests and parks as the Riverlands.

maybe cornwall for Dorne

and Bath for Old town

Why is American Casterly rock so close to the wall? Someone didn't think that through.

Also Kansas City is River Run and St. Louis would be the Twins.

So if you're a Canadian Game of Thrones fan, what does that make you? A Wildling or a White Walker?

That just depends on whether or not you are French.

I'll play along...

I'm French-Canadian by birth. Hit me with your best shot.

There is no way that Winterfell would be Detroit - it would be Chicago. Detroit is literally on the border, Winterfell is NOT. Also, Winterfell was a thriving city before it was burned to the ground which superficially resembles Detroit (1967 riots) Detroit was long in decline before that. So Chicago would be a better fit than Detroit.

If you want Detroit to be in there, have it be one of the 3 castles that the Nights Watch still patrol; possibly Castle Black itself. Castle Black should be an individual city, not the entire border. Particularly not when the border is used for both it and the Wall.

/you have no idea how hard it is to type the word "Chicago" in any sort of a positive way for this fan of the Lions, Tigers and Pistons...
