I have done maps of the United States before. This one however, is going to be an atlas of towns in the Creedon Republic.

The Creedon Republic, is a nation that I created. Consider it a cross between the United States and England during the Victorian and Edwardian Era's. The English aspect is that they have tea during the afternoon. The American aspect is that a uachtarán, or president is elected every four years. The primary language of the republic is English, however when the nation was founded, many of its inhabitants spoke Gaelige.

Modern technology is prevalent in the Creedon Republic; i.e. The internet exists, interstate highways exist, and television exists.

The republic has no official religion, but the citizenry may practice any religion they may choose.

It is my surname, and my family comes from Cork, but originally it came from Cornwall. It is Cornish for "of the king"

Hampshire is 85% complete.
Annapolis is about 15% complete.

You'll get to see Lake Quannapowwit in its entirety, as well as Lake Underhill. The Peter River, as well as some minor tributaries. This atlas will also show ferry routes, and selected Navy anchorages.

Town plans will not be covered in here, but in a seperate book. They will show major streets in downtown areas.

Peter State is about 50% done. Rhode Island is 100% complete. I'm trying to design a cover for it. I'll post a few designs for the cover in the coming days.
