    Interesting mention of Canada Day in the last article. Was it renamed from Dominion Day at the same time as OTL? Interesting, given that they still haven't abandoned the Red Ensign and were until recently full participants in the Commonwealth.

    Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but does New England have an equivalent national holiday?

    For me at least, I think the debate will prove to be more damaging for sanders than a help. It won't do anything to help him win over the rest of the country. I can imagine the "what banker wrote that" line being mocked on whatever New England equivalent to SNL there is. TBH him loosing would be more interesting to me, as it will be followed by an internal struggle for leadership. I love that stuff. I think the conservatives have got this in the bag. Go Team.

    Somehow I only decided to google Elinor Carbone now and didn't realise that IOTL she's just the mayor of a small town in Connecticut while here she's all but guaranteed to be the next PM. Do I sense some regional bias, Kanan?

    Not particularly. If you take a gander at the MP list, there's a lot of obscure names of people even New Englanders haven't heard of. To be completely honest, it was either her or Scott Brown who was going to lead the Tories in 2016. I vaguely planned for her to lose her position after 2016, then i made the thread and things went differently.

    Great work on this project, I can't recall how I stumbed upon it (I don't normally explore the maps&graphics forum) but I've done my best to read through all 150+ pages of this over the past couple of days. The caliber of your content is superb. Your TL so closely parallels our own that it feels familiar* yet is unique enough to capture the imagination of your readers, a world just beyond our fingertips- so similar to ours it could be our own, where it not for some slight changes. But your changes have depth- some we might long for in OTL, but some are far worse than the nightmares of this world.

    This masterful worldbuilding, combined with your graphic skillset creates an entirely believable world. So many of us access the "real" world through wikipedia, online news articles, and maps, that when you craft these graphics, you make your world 'real' to us.

    Anyway, that's it- just wanted to express my admiration. As a native Brooklynite I've never thought of myself as a New Englander, but I guess now I can join the club. I've certainly got some areas which I am interested in learning more about (mostly involving baseball and religion [whats the difference amiright?])

    Regardless, hats off to you, and carry on, knowing you've won another fan.


    *(for instance a map of New England ITTL still generally looks like an OTL New England map, despite TTL's NE having twice as many states/provinces)
