I just realized that Talleyrand is not in the story, it is odd that a story of Napoleon's Victory wouldn't have the most brilliant of French diplomats. Plus the events of this story would of come before Talleyrand was kick out of power (if its possible to do that for more then 5 minutes). That was for the invasion of Russia that he was against, and that was not needed in your story.
Napoleon's Victory [LONG]

By the time she comes around in the mid 20th century, changes will have occurred in France so this is possible. If it isn't feasible though, she can become a Napoleon V and her son can be Napoleon VI
Titus, while your points make sense and are definitely plausible for another TL, I don't think if I did that in this TL everything else would play out the way it did so far. I don't think I made the British totally defeated and I know that a Bonaparte on England's throne, especially at the expense of venerable old George III, would not go over well.
Good point, I will have to add him in further revisions!

Btw who wins WWI in your timeline?
I think we're gonna have to wait for Zach's WW1 updates to find out about that. I think it'll just be a big spoiler if he tells us now.

I think you are underestimating the US army to an extent; while not great by any stretch of the imagination, especially early on, it wasn't completely awful; they did take York after all.
But more important, I think Britain would push to give it to America for fear that France would demand it.
Hey all,
Is the format of this timeline reasonable? I know a lot of writers like to organize their TLs into literally timelines such as "1810: such and such happens. 1819: so and so dies". Is the format I use good on the eyes? I just would like to know so perhaps I can change it in the future.
Thanks!

The Format is good, it groups related events together so that we can see them unfold, when can we expect an update?
Your format is excellent IMO. Hope you continue the TL in the near future.
Small request. Info on how Brazil has been doing: interanally, as a colonial power, and in world affairs. I confess a soft spot for the Braganca's especially regarding Brazil.
First of all, great job on the TL so far, and I can't wait for the update.
Second, a question. I may have missed this, but why is Switzerland independent and neutral? Wasn't it a French vassal in our Napoleonic Wars, and it's neutrality only confirmed after our Congress of Vienna? If I missed something tell me, but otherwise, that might need to be fixed...

Well, to be honest everything in this TL about Latin America is pretty thin mainly because my knowledge of Latin America is pretty limited. I would very much like to elaborate on Brazil and the newer Latin American nations' progress and I will definitely focus on this after the Great War.

You're absolutely right and I should fix this. I think the best thing for the TL (meaning I won't have to change that much
) is to have some sort of act or general agreement among the European powers after Napoleon's victory to affirm Swiss neutrality and independence. The thing is, you did not miss anything and the Swiss don't even make an appearance in this timeline or in the Great War. I admit, I completely looked them over. Does this sound reasonable? Maybe a treaty by all the major nations of European affirming Swiss independence and neutrality (like Belgium in OTL)?You're absolutely right and I should fix this. I think the best thing for the TL (meaning I won't have to change that much
Doesn't sound too bad. Although with Napoleonic France in direct or indirect control of everything around Switzerland, having a neutral Switzerland really doesn't do anything that crucial. Or make it a part of France, either way, same effect...
I've finished the Great War section. It seems incredibly lengthy and I will post it once I make some maps
Also...I kind of want to post it on page 5
Does anyone have any ideas on what a flag for Southern Lusitania would look like? I would like to create a flag for them but I am probably not creative enough regarding vexillology.

First, damn you, I thought you posted!
Secondly, I dunno. Did Napoleon have a planned flag for the country? If not, I can look around for you...
Ok, here's an idea. Since "Southern Lusitania" is the same as the "Kingdom of Algarve", use the Etrutrian flag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_the_Kingdom_of_Etruria.svg)
with the Algarvian CoA...

Looks weird, but works, I guess...
