Have you ever asked yourself, "What's America like in the Nickstaverse?"
No? Too bad.
I've completed the main chunk of a document all about America in the Nickstaverse. It's got details on all 60 states, superhero and supervillain teams, and even a magic system! I'm planning to add section on species, sports, and random civilians, too, so watch the document.
And where is that document? Right here.
I hope you enjoy it.
