Somethings are not as good as OTL, sadly.
One of the downsides of a confederal model I'd wager, it requires local population cooperation a lot more. Morally correct in a general sense, but in certain cases a shame.

So here it is. The 2 Year Anniversary of the Thread and the 4 Year Anniversary of the Series
Thanks as always for your continuing support! I really think this series has gone from strength to strength through your contributions and support.
But without further ado, perhaps the most anticipated wikibox of this entire series - The United Empire:
I prefer the third flag for Genesee Iroquoia. However, the second one follows the rules of heraldry - metals* not being adjacent to other metals, whilst the third does not.
*white or yellow.
I'd definitely go with the second or third design
As a soon-to-be permanent resident of Genesee Iroquoia (is that name supposed to be hyphenated?), I’d go with the third!
Kind of sad that segregation in the South came to an end later than OTL.

Happy anniversary to the thread, amazing work you've done over this time and so glad to have seen it take shape, thank you for the amazing work you've done!
Truly beautiful day and awesome infobox! Viva Britannia!
Happy Anniversary to the timeline, and congratulations, Leinad! You deserve it after all of your hard work
Awesome and happy birthday to the timeline!
Why is the HDI so.. low (relatively, comparable to Hungary or Chile IRL)? Aren't most of these places very developped? I looked at all the constituent country infoboxes you posted and i think that all that we know of are above this average of 0.842, including accra (0.866), i guess if Virginia is at around 0.856 then Carolina could be blow this average, but i'm not sure it would weight down the average so much,especially since places like Oregon, New England, Australia are near or above 0.9. I don't see which major constituent country can weight down the average so much.
Also now that i look at it, how comes Newfoundland has such a high gdp per capita and is apparently first among Constituent country? Where does its wealth come from? It's written that the oil industry only contributes to 15% of its gdp, doesn't seem enough to bring it to nearly twice the level of virginia, and much more than new england.
Seeing as most royal heritages have remained the same, probably none as per OTL. However the inverse is probably greater as many foreign royals likely have British ancestry and therefore a place in the British succession.Due to their being far more monarchies in existence in our world, how many other nations is the Queen in the line of succession of ?
Well, you can count the stars to see if it was updated or not. I think it is.Has the Grand Union flag been updated to show the new reality of the UKE, and can we a post showing all the iterations of the Grand Union Flag and all its forms, I.e. From the Kingdom of Britain (Technical you can count the Union Jack the first Grand Union Flag as the Flags of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland were still used) to 2019 and possibly show when the Grand Union Flag split from the National Flag.
If it is profitable, it will continue.Has the cape to Cairo railway continue to existence due a slower and better decolonisation than in OTL, and has it expanded east to west as there is a nearly unbroken chain of commonwealth countries across the middle of Africa?
Madagascar in this world was a condonimium of Britain and France. I figure it's in both the Commonwealth and the Francophonie as a result.When and why did Madgascar join the commonwealth?
As Excelsior says, probably not that much.Due to their being far more monarchies in existence in our world, how many other nations is the Queen in the line of succession of ?
It is a small part of Africa. The bit of West Africa that is coloured Britain but is not Sierra Leone? That's Accra.Where is Accra as i can't find on the map and all the relevant maps haven't been updated yet?

And that would be a bit too much to do for Leinad, surely, especially as I think the Grand Union Flag was only made somewhat recently.

Of those nations the queen is in the line of succession, how many of them are could be in personal Union with the UKE easily and are there plans in place to deal with situations happening?

You should probably change the map picture in the CTA post as it's impossible to see Patagonia in this version.
Would they implement reforms like OTL China, or would they go full Best Korea?a) Possible rump-Communist state on Hainan Island - People's Republic of Hainan. Sort of an analogue to the ROC on Taiwan. Not sure of feasibility. Just a thought.
I'd like to hear the story behind this.Samoa, Tahiti (OTL French Polynesia), Tonga are independent native monarchies in the Commonwealth

British protectorate over the islands instead of France. They supported the unification under a single monarch much like in Hawai’i.
That's quite a widespread kingdom. Are the other islands and kingdoms autonomous within the Kingdom of Tahiti?
Indeed, but given most of the population lives in Tahiti or the Society Islands that isn’t necessarily a problem.
Those I suppose in theory France could retain some of the outlying islands... I’ll have a plan around with the map tonight... Maybe the kingdom only covers the Society Islands...
I’d assume either autonomous heads of each island, or given that the Pomare dynasty provided kings and queens to all the major islands in the 19th century they could have united under a single monarch. More research needed.

How about this for Tahiti:
During TTL 1840s, the Franco-Tahitian War results in the French being evicted from Tahiti and the country passing to British suzerainty under a similar status to OTL Tonga. The Jarnac Convention agrees to British control of Tahiti, whilst the French claim the Marquesas Islands, the Austral and Bass Islands and Tuamotu-Gambier. British Tahiti transitions to a sovereign state under free association in the 1980s/90s, whilst the three French island territories become overseas collectivities.
Thoughts?
