Welcome to Imperialism Map!

The NBA imperialism map that actually keeps up with the season. With 82 games per team, territories change almost daily — and our interactive map captures every shift.

What makes this different? The timeline slider. Jump back to opening night, fast-forward to last night’s upset, or find that exact moment when the Lakers lost California to the Kings. This isn’t just a map; it’s the entire story of the NBA season, game by game.

Winning streaks build empires. Road wins steal territory. Updated within 24 hours of every game.

How NBA Territory Conquest Works

Every NBA team starts with territory based on a Voronoi diagram from their location - creating natural boundaries where each point on the map belongs to the nearest team. Win a game, claim your opponent's entire empire. Lose, and watch your territory disappear. It's beautifully simple and brutally unforgiving.

Territory Rules

  • Each team starts with territory nearest their (Voronoi diagram)
  • Win = you take ALL of the loser's current territory
  • Lose = you lose everything (even if you had 40 territories)
  • Territory accumulates all season - no resets until next year
