Conquer the Continent: Your Guide to Creating an NFL Imperialism Map
Calling all cartographers with a competitive streak! We're not talking about meticulously marking unexplored territories here. We're diving headfirst into the glorious, and slightly chaotic, world of NFL imperialism maps. This isn't your grandpa's dusty map collection – it's a hilarious, season-long battle for geographic dominance, fueled by your favorite football teams.
So, you want to embark on this glorious quest? Buckle up, buttercup, because here's how to craft your own NFL imperialism masterpiece:

| How To Make A Nfl Imperialism Map |
Step 1: Secure Your Territory
First things first, you gotta claim your turf. There are two main options:
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
- The Solo Conqueror: Grab a blank US map (physical or digital, your call). You might even snag a giant whiteboard if you're feeling particularly ambitious (and have a lot of wall space).
- The League of Legends: Round up your fellow football fanatics and divvy up the map. Each player gets a team (or two, if you have a crazy big group) and their corresponding state(s).
Step 2: Let the Territorial Disputes Begin!
Here's where things get interesting. Throughout the season, whenever a team wins, they conquer the territory of their defeated opponent.
- Winning at Home? No sweat. You simply color in your own state a bit more triumphantly.
- Conquering on the Road? This is where it gets fun! Color in the ENTIRE state of your vanquished foe in your glorious team colors.
But wait, there's more!
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
- Intra-Conference Clashes: If two teams from the same conference face off, the winner only claims the remaining portion of the loser's state (excluding their own territory, of course). Think of it as a friendly neighborhood scrap, with less collateral damage (hopefully).
- Inter-Conference Invasions: Buckle up for a full-on land grab! When a team from one conference stomps a team from another, they conquer the entire state. This is where empires are built, folks!
Step 3: Document Your Domination (Optional, But Highly Recommended)
Take pictures or videos of your map's evolution throughout the season. Witness the rise and fall of empires, the strategic alliances (or epic betrayals) between fellow fans.

Step 4: Revel in Your Cartographic Chaos
The beauty of the NFL imperialism map lies in its glorious absurdity. Teams you never expected to dominate might carve out massive territories. There will be heartbreak (looking at you, last-minute interceptions), but also moments of pure, unadulterated joy (think walk-off touchdowns).
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
Remember, this is all about having fun and celebrating the beautiful chaos that is the NFL season!
FAQs:
How to decide which team gets which state?
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
- Solo players: This is your creative canvas! Assign teams based on your own preferences, rivalries, or pure geographical whimsy.
- Leagues: There are multiple options. You can draft states like a fantasy draft, hold a random drawing, or get super competitive with an auction system (winner with the highest bid gets their first choice of state).
How to handle teams without a home state (like the Jaguars)?
- Get creative! Assign them a nearby state or, if you're feeling particularly spicy, make them nomads who conquer random territories each week.
How to deal with playoffs?
- The possibilities are endless! You can have a winner-take-all championship game that decides the ultimate map conqueror. Or, keep the land grabs going throughout the playoffs, creating a truly epic clash for continental dominance.
How to avoid arguments with friends over map disputes?
- Embrace the chaos! This map is a lighthearted competition, so laugh it off and maybe bribe your friend with some delicious game-day snacks (homer bias is a powerful force).
How to make your map extra awesome?
- Get creative! Add team logos, little victory flags for each conquest, or even funny commentary about particularly brutal losses.
