Jews...IN SPACE!
But Jews settlers tend to concentrate together. Not exactly kibbutzim, but areas with high numbers of them, so they tend to band together into militias for defense against the thing that go bump in the night outside their cabin walls.
This is very interesting and I very much hope to see this developed some more one day.

Let me just go ahead and put Jewish Space Militias on my AJND To Do List...
Hmm, this makes me wonder; does Israel still exist in AJND? What's it like if so?
Israel, unfortunately did not survive the Third World War. It was surrounded on all sides by a neo-Nasserite/Baathist United Arab Republic. After the war, many members of the former IDF escaped to the United States and formed the core leadership of the nasceant National Volunteer Police Agency--aka, the Minutemen. Over the next decade or so, the vast majority of Israeli Jews would leave under varying levels of duress, with some going to the United States and many more going to the Soviet Union. There's still a Jewish minority in the UAR and there has been a great deal of liberalization in recent years when it comes to allowing Jews to visit and to settle permanently. There's still a strong paleo-Zionist tendency, but most Zionists are of the cosmo-Zionist tendency, advocating for the creation of a new Jewish state offworld.

Better than trying to duke it out with the UAR again.
That said, I hope they liberalized on Shabbat. Some of the literal arguments on observing shabbat in space are hilarious (and are the only ones that are supported by passages in the Torah.)
Like if you were in orbit you'd be falling in and out of Shabbos each time you pass over the terminator line.
...I really have to find that paper again.
They briefly did that in Israel, before realising that the party system made it basically unworkable. Vigrid, of course, doesn't have that problem.

Yes although since they are now controlling Mexico they might be more willing to control beyond a few miles to the side of the Canal, in OTL some Southern slaveholders wanted such a thing and ITTL they have a even bigger disadvantage.
How do Muslims pray in space?
You pray in the general direction of Mecca as best you can.
I've had a bit of writer's block with current timeline. So, I did a mashup of the 32 NFL teams. Here is a sample.

Andrew Chung is a West Indian politician who served as the country’s 3rd Prime Minister and first person of color to hold that position. Chung was born to Chinese plantation workers from Zhejiang in Clarendon Parish, Central Jamaica. Owing it to the fact that his parents needed help in the fields, Chung only entered school at the age of 11, when his father achieved relative financial stability and managed to start his own business. Despite that, he graduated with honors and attended Kingston University, where he majored in biology.
Chung worked as a biology teacher at a public school until he got involved local politics, in his early thirties. Due to his charisma and background, Chung quickly found himself popular among Colored West Indians. As his political career skyrocketed, Chung was chosen to run for Prime Minister for the center-left Democratic Labor Party. His running mate was Michael Clinton, a black man from the FU of the Bahamas, who had also previously worked as a public school teacher. Chung ran on an anti-racist and reformist platform, condemning the planter elite and the conservative People’s National Congress, which had ruled the West Indies Federation since its independence in 1954. Despite the fact that the white planters and the centrist National Democratic Party endorsed James McAulay, the PNC candidate, in the end it was not enough, and Chung won in a landslide. Chung was elected to his first term as Prime Minister of the West Indies Federation with the largest percentage of the popular vote (61.4%) in the country’s history, and almost 90% of the Colored vote.
Opposition to the Chung administration was particularly strong, with those who were previously in the government before his election and those in the planter circles being Chung’s most prominent critics.
Chung’s new labor legislation and fierce opposition to the interests of the planter elite led to an attempted coup d’état in 1981. For thirty-eight hours, Chung was removed from Office, before being restored by military loyalists and pro-government demonstrators. During this period, the West Indies Federation was temporarily suspended from the Commonwealth of Nations.
Andrew Chung refocused West Indian foreign policy on achieving more political and economic independence from the United Kingdom adopting a pragmatic approach to the global conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. His greatest foreign policy achievement is considered to be the successful harboring of eight Mexican students who were fleeing persecution from the country’s junta.
Andrew Chung considered himself a “committed social democrat”. According to opinion polls, he’s one of the West Indies’ most popular Prime Ministers since its independence.
