Yes, though they have been working on the human genome for a while and cloning is only a theory for them too.

This is incredible, and is well detailed. Perhaps you could include a map for any territorial changes

I love this TL. I hope I'm not to late to submit a flag design...

Edit: Forget it. I prefer your design with rotation.

Nice that Jews get some nice places to settle (as a majority even), but I suspect that black Africans are the focus of genocide in this TL. I'm surprised that the Imperium and Northern Alliance don't have more to say about that. It is an indelible blight on their souls that they won't stand up to resist this outrage against humanity. That's what you get from ethnic cleansers, I guess.

You have said that the Haudenosaunee have treaties with the Empire respecting its territory, etc. Fine, wonderful.
2) According to the map, the Haudenosaunee now have the north shore of Lake Ontario. When did that happen

Maybe they beat the dickens out of the Huron??

At the close of the timeline, there was a great deal of suspicion in the Northern Alliance that the Holy league were mistreating their Muslim subjects in Africa, however no firm evidence other than a few border incidents and some satellite pictures showing "work camps" in the interior.

There was no genocide against black Africans as such in the Northern Alliance countries and certainly a lot less of economic exploitation that went on in OTL, most African states are fairly modern democracies with no more or less of the corruption that seems to go hand in hand with those who seek political/economic power.

The Social Nationalists who run the Holy League are not the equivalent of Nazi's in our timeline in that they do not discriminate on the grounds of race. However if you aren't a Roman Catholic you simply will not thrive in business or gain political power, the first through taxation, the second through law.

The Russian Empire whilst technically behind both the Holy League and the Alliance dwarfs both militarily though even as late as 2000 has not developed nuclear weapons, relying on human wave tactics with every member of the state been given training in arms and pledged loyalty to the Czar who has developed the cult of personality to levels that Stalin would have found embarrasing. The only reason that Russia is not a major problem in this world is its isolationism, they simply are not interested in what the rest of the world does, though they are involved in espionage mostly in technology. They do sabre rattle occasionally, though so far have always backed down when confronted.

Japan though technically neutral is firmly in the Northern Alliance camp as their religion makes them unpalatable to the Holy League.

The independant nations such as the Hetmanate and the Helleno-Latin combine walk a careful path through the various machinations of the big 3 though are not in any danger of being overthrown. The Papal States still remain though are strictly neutral despite their obvious sympathy with the Holy League.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, that I perform some thread necromancy, but I found something extremely unrealistic in this TL: Katanas as cavalry weapons.
Arrgh! It's a myth that the katana is superior to western swords! There is not such a thing as the perfect sword. Swords are extremely specialized weapons. And every type of sword has its own fighting style. Someone trained with a longsword cannot fight with a katana. He would only injure himself. And a katana would be useless against western suits of armor.
And a katana was never a cavalry weapon. It's a two-handed weapon and a such useless in cavalry charges.

Yes it is rather unrealistic, however what the cavalry were using were an adapted version which they called a katana.
Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it...

What do the colors in the maps on pg. 26 mean?

Red = Imperium
Gold = Social nationalist Monarch's Council (Though France is technically an autarchy ruled by the Favereau Diktat)
Dark green = Dar Al islam
Light (ish) Green = Baltic Republic
Dark yellow = Imperial Russia.
Light yellow = Empire of Japan
Grey = Cossack hetmanate
Brown = Kingdom of Savoy + Nuovo Italia
All other colours = independents

Hope that helps
