But Ontario and Quebec were much smaller, anyways. That doesn't make sense, unless there's even more backstory.
What do you mean 'they were much smaller'? They had like 3 times the population of any Maritime province at the time I'm pretty sure.
Northern one. I understand the Ottawa Capital Territory thing.
It has plenty of people. I mean it has Val D'or and Timmins and several other cities. OTL it has over 350 000 people, way more than PEI.
Secular pan-Arabism doesn't change the part that they were kingdoms. What suddenly makes them stop being so and giving that role to the Queen? And why are they secular? What makes them so? Britain didn't run them, it was a protectorate, so very limited influence, anyways.
It's secular because the British quietly backed the secular thinkers to keep their protectorates from turning to the Saudis. And they still have their various individual monarchs, the British Monarch merely is given a prime role overall, like the Holy Roman Emperor or something.
Nice map. Some questions: What's up with the weird administrative divisions in the *USSR (Eastern Europe, Mongolia and East Turkestan merged, etc.)?
The *USSR here wanted to break Russian dominance by making regions that were more diverse. Mongolia and East Turkestan were conquered a bit later and got something of a common outlook while fighting the Soviets and as part of their surrender they were given a joined autonomy (also wanting to make the Han population in East Turkestan less of an issue.
How did Tibet manage to push so deep into Muslim territory, and what's its relationship with India?
I'm not so sure what you mean about being in Muslim Territory, most of what they got is ethnically primarely Tibetan. They get military protection from India against China, so are dependent on India, but India doesn't interfere much.
What's going on in Angola and the Congo (Brazilian color)?
Brazil was asked to help by Portuguese settlers (Portugal having fallen to the Spanish communists so being no good to help), and they wound up fighting with some of the Congos in border clashes.
And what's the situation in Southern Persia?
It didn't join the Communist uprising, but isn't really able to survive on its own. India is in it to try to secure oil.
