5. LSA, Latin States of America [the American Southwest]

6. Mexico

7. PSA, Pacific States of America [the American Northwest and Alaska]

8. Pacific Rim, encompassing Japan, Polynesia, Australasia, and Antarctica—sacred no longer

10. India

11. The Caliphate, or Islamic State, encompassing Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa

12. Russia, including Poland and the Baltic States
