Out of curiosity, what is state and private surveillance like in this TL? On the one hand, there are far fewer despotisms or anything like OTL's post-1960s terrorism to create demand for it. OTOH, the A4's obsession with control coupled with its massive military-industrial complex could certainly create such incentives.
I am somewhat curious about national flags in this TL, especially those of the A4, India, Russia, and China. Do Canada and Australia still have the same flags as OTL (Canada may still have a variant of the Red Ensign, while Australia may have a less "British" flag)?
What is the status of Iceland, the Faroes and Greenland?
Finally, what is the state of Wahhabism like in this TL? I'll take it that with many other energy-rich areas available to the A4, coupled with greater advancements in alternative energy, nothing like OTL OPEC formed. Subsequently, the Gulf States (especially Saudi Arabia) wouldn't have become as rich.
Speaking of energy-rich areas, how is Venezuela doing?
