I sort of imagined that a good number of the people who voted for Accra but against Tierra del Fuego either considered the latter too small to be a full dominion or, alternately, wanted to admit them as separate dominions.
Does the referendum require a majority in the popular vote? (Like OTL Australia)

>Carolina voted "No" in both referendums
It seems that southrons are destined to be idiots no matter the timeline.
Too small to be country, too big for an insane asylum.
Ugh, is Carolina really still blocking more Dominions joining for racial reasons? Either that or they're super-Nativist/anti-expansion. Or both. And here I was hoping for once they wouldn't be Those People (@LeinadB93 ?)

I'd like to think that Carolina isn't being rascist. Accra and Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands are predominantly and majority white respectively. I think that Carolina and Missouri voting No was more a response to the memory of how much effort and money it cost to get Sierra Leone to its current level of development (and even now it lags behind the rest of the Empire considerably), whereas they believe that tax-payers money should be better spent making things better for British people - improving infrastucture, like the promised high-speed rail link between the east coast and the Mississippi Basin, or the health service.
Sure some are voting on a racial basis, but a lot of people are thinking that the government should do more for homegrown issues than be admitting new territories.
How did Bukharin end up in Alaska?
Didn't someone called for a Carolxit? (or a Southern revolt).
Good to know, especially since I don't agree with the "Carolina = racists" thing at all (among other reasons, it's a tired-ass trope). I had forgotten that Accra had a lot of white people along with Americo-Accran, Akan, and mixed-race folks, I guess a reflection of a more globally-spread British diaspora.
I'm curious, what's been the reaction from Patagonia to the accession. I imagine there exist quite a few people that view the land as rightfully theirs.

Alaskan Cossacks played a key role in the liberation of the interior city of Chena, where they routed revolutionary forces and executed Alexander Krasnoshchyokov. For the actions of the Cossacks, King-Emperor George V created the Royal Cossack Battalion as a permanent fixture of the British Army, which persists to this day.
Interesting that Missouri voted against both. As a resident of the Commonwealth of Missouri, I would put forth the guess that Missouri is a place with people reluctant to extend more funds to new members of the Union rather than using those funds on current members. Would I be near the mark?
Wales probably voted narrowly against both because of scepticism on new dominions and a concern that there should be more money spent on dealing with already existing dominions' problems instead of aligning new ones. Basically "Why should we bring them in? We need the money ourselves..."
I like the new Capeland (Capish? Caper? Capelander?) flag, the old one could reserve the coat of arms for the monarchy itself given it's still a kingdom.
I believe this Capeland flag it's more shiny than the original one. And Zambia it's a well-played national symbol too.
Both look fantastic, and the cape flag is especially better than the OG
