1632 Predictions

I'm supposed to be working on a paper for my comparative nonwestern economics class, but was instead browsing through the book 1632. Then I had this thought, what would fellow board members predict the future of this timeline will look like? Also, I want this to be a subquestion, maybe with less discussion, but no less interesting, what type of timeline created a race of humanity that destroyed the Assiti?

I was sure this would get picked up like a benjamin on the street

What will the U.S.E culture and language look like 50 years from the end of the first book? What will happen to N. America? Especially since in the second book if I remember right, England had sold its new world possessions to France?

Thing is, you're talking about one of the most developed AH timelines ever. There's what, 23 Grantville Gazettes, almost a dozen books.

So your saying no one is willing to try and extrapolate events?

It's much less fun to play in a sandbox that's already covered in sand castles.
