A new poster for Alex Garland’s
Civil War
movie reveals alliances beyond the one between California and Texas.
The map displays the Florida Alliance in the southeast and the New People’s Army in the northwest.
Remaining states are deemed “Loyalist States,” aligned with the oppressive federal government.

A new poster for Alex Garland’s Civil War movie reveals which states are in an alliance, aside from the Western Forces made up of California and Texas. The dystopian film follows a group of journalists traveling the war-torn United States during a future Second Civil War, documenting the struggles of survival and wartime among the fighting populations. This includes looking at the dictatorship the US has become and the factions involved in warring for or against it.

Now, A24 has released a new poster for the upcoming Civil War movie, showcasing a detailed map of which states are in an alliance.

The map shows California and Texas are part of the Western Forces, which was previously teased in trailers for the movie. This new map reveals the southeast corner of the US has formed the Florida Alliance, while the northwest corner is the New People’s Army. Every other state is labeled as “Loyalist States,” indicating their allegiance to the tyrannical federal government.

What Civil War’s Different US Factions Mean

The many different factions in Civil War showcase just how divided the United States is in the war-torn future Garland has created. The Loyalist States appear to be those that are aligned with the federal government, while every other faction is seemingly against what the US has become. However, since these three other separatist groups don’t seem to be allied with each other, they all may want to instill leadership over the US in their own way.

Since positive reviews for Civil War praise its themes and the questions its story posits, the movie no doubt delves deep into why the US is divided into so many different sides. The Western Forces appear to be the most unique case, with California and Texas separated from one another by Loyalist States. While the movie is going to take place in the midst of the war, it will likely also focus on the US’ alternate history, explaining how both states ended up becoming allies.

With this new map of the movie offering more context to how the US is split up, it makes for the perfect companion to Civil War to understand what to expect in the film. It’s possible a similar map will be shown in the movie as well, fully illustrating how the country is divided as it explores what this means for its dystopian future. Since the movie will be arriving in theaters later this month, it won’t be long until answers surrounding the new makeup of the United States are provided.
