If we delve into music, I'd be happy to help out with the history of Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and The Band.

I wanted to say that this is an amazing thread. I am very curious about the republican parts of South America (Chile, Colombia-New Grenada and Venezuela pre and post-coup)
Well...
And as for John Conyers, my guess is that he's a SDP politician from the Ohio Country and likely the Father of the House. So yeah, that probably will be major.
@LeinadB93 , This series of your's is absolutely fantastic! I have been following it as a Lurker since it started.
However, could I request that you could do the Westralian Election, and a list of Australian Premiers please?

Oh God, can one of us run a Harry Potter update past the OP to see if they like it? I'm very, very interested in how that story would have gone in this UK.
Voldemort a terror across the world...
Hogwarts drawing students from across Britannia...
Quidditch in all the home countries!

Hogwarts merely being the magical version of Eton, rather than being the only wizarding school in THE ENTIRE BRITISH ISLES!

No.
I've tried to be polite about this, hoping you would take the hint.
You seem to have an obsession with forcing deadmau5 into this timeline, for reasons I can't comprehend. I won't be incorporating him into any news updates as I can't see any difference from OTL, and it won't, in my opinion, add anything to this timeline.

Like I've mentioned before music and pop culture isn't my strong point, so it would be interesting to see what you come up with
Thanks
Chile, having been thrashed as part of the Central Powers during the First World War, is generally much as OTL, but a bit richer, more democratic and better developed. It's probably the South American equivalent of Austria. Venezuela is much as OTL, with the exception that it remains part of New Granada until the 1860s.
New Granada still includes Panama, but the San Andres y Providencia islands are part of British Jamaica. Simon Bolivar pulls a Napoleon in South America, sometime in the late 1810s/early 1820s, and succeeds in establishing a "Granadine Empire" across much of modern New Granada, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. Britain steps in to sort things out, with the support of the Latin American monarchies and by the late 1820s is forced to accept a reduced empire. The Bolivarian Wars last from 1822 to about 1827, and end with Simon Bolivar ruling as Emperor over New Granada, Venezuela and Santo Domingo.
After Bolivar's death in 1830, the lack of an heir leads to the First Granadine War (1831-1833) which dissolves the empire and replaces it with the Granadine Confederation. The Second Granadine War, also known as the Granadine Civil War, lasts from 1860 to 1862 and ends after a British intervention, and the independence of Venezuela and Santo Domingo. This leads to the nation being closely tied to the British Empire, politically and economically, and Britain builds TTLs Panama Canal whilst France/Mexico build the Nicaragua Canal. New Granada is still in the grips of a drug war, and I've alluded to a Granadine Crisis in the late 1960s through to the early 1980s.
Politically, New Granada is a parliamentary republic much like OTL South Africa, with a President as head of state and government but who is elected from the country's legislature.
Yeah that's something I need to cover in more depth... I'll put something into tonight's news bulletin about it.
Yeah John Conyers would definitely be a high ranking figure in the Imperial Parliament.
Why thank you
glad you're enjoying it!!All are in the works, so all in good time

Well @CanadianTory and I had discussed this briefly, as both of us are involved in education on either side of the pond. This is what we came up with:

Sure @Wribro go for it
I like the idea of there being like an individual magic school for various regions, whereas Hogwarts is like the "best of the best" or "richest of the rich" school for magical kids.
An independent minded British American Magical Congress based in Fredericksburg (OTL Washington D.C.) might also be interesting...

@Gentleman Biaggi you could make an infobox about a conspiracy linking us. That would be good!
That's not what this project is about, and we would like it if posts like this wasn't around on this thread, as it is really not constructive.
