Outline of the Post-War New World Map. Published 1942, Philadelphia, PA
The map was self-published by Gomberg and offered for sale for $1 in magazines such as American Teacher in 1942 and Survey Graphic in 1944 (seen here).

The Outline of the Post-War New World Map was a map completed before the attack on Pearl Harbor[1] and self-published on February 25, 1942[2] by Maurice Gomberg of Philadelphia. It shows a proposed political division of the world after World War II in the event of an Allied victory in which the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union would rule. The map includes a manifesto describing a "New World Moral Order", along with quotes from Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech.

Gomberg created the map as a personal project, and little else is known of him. The map has been highlighted by New World Order conspiracy theorists who believe it represents some broader view of the US government, and has also been widely circulated online.[3][4][5]

Description of proposed territories on map

The map proposes a total of 14 independent sovereign states, 13 of them democracies and 10 of them demilitarized, and 3 "quarantined" states (the fate of 2 are to be eventually integrated into sovereign states).
