Not gonna happen - Virginia is a lot less prominent ITTL given that it lacks the South as a power base, and the US capital isn't adjacent.
speaking of that, isn't the National Capital otl Albany, NY?
(And when are you gonna use my name?)

Prime Minister Edward Thomas would turn to the master of Croyden Airfield, Sir Thomas Black, to serve as his Air Marshal for the duration of the Population War.

It's Kingston, NY.
Ah.
Kingston doesn't really have much room to grow though, I wonder if the city will be rather small and mostly focused on the national government rather than otl D.C.
I always figured it'd grow but become something like Newark, NJ to New York - there's a local identity there, but no one outside of the said town and NYC will recognize it.
Although there has to be a (perhaps much?) stronger local identity than OTL by default, due to an established town (no matter how small) being selected as capital than a rather empty wetland to build a city from the ground up.

I suppose that applies to a local identity, but I was really talking about land.
Kingston otl has used up most of the land of its location (from google maps), so The city's growth factor ttl is kinda limited. I wonder what the government ttl has done about it.
I see what you did there. But what about a certain Mr. Jack Tindale?
Damn, that is a grim photograph included with the update.
Also, in case I haven't said so before, I really like the thematic escalation of the naming for the major wars of this timeline: Liberal War - Global War - Population War.
Thank God no one has yet developed nuclear weapons...
Seems like provincialism is on the rise in Mexico. Reminds me a lot of the Boxer Rebellion, when the southern and eastern governors defied Beijing's declaration of war on the foreign powers and instead ordered their forces to protect them.

The northerners, I think they are more or less content with status quo ante bellum. They are more of pro-tradlib
than Malthusians. But of course, recognizing the provinces wherein those heroes (as we say) came from is given as, paradoxically, they are the most loyal of tradlib Mexico.
Except if Glen says otherwise.
The Miskitos, on the other hand...
You kinda lost me here...not sure what you're thinking. Can you clarify?
Yes, what about them?
1. Preserver of Mexico's status quo, defender of traditional liberalism? They always come from the north.
They adhere to tradlib Mexico, the victor at the end. They are forever vindicated as heroes, the most loyal to the state (liberalism).
2. Yes, autonomy or independence, you pick.
AND ARE YOU ACTUALLY EXPANDING THE DOMINION AGAIN?
