"What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

[Time Enough]

Or, you could add a bit of old-fashioned semi-racist terminology and go with “Oriental Carolina”.

On a separate note, what’s everyday life in Ireland like? Being an Irish infee papist myself, I’ve been wondering how it’s going over there, and how they’re reacting to the hellstorm forming around them.

@Sunstone77 summarised it quite well.

I would say Ireland is a bit like if the ideas of Stafford Cripps and Harold Laski during the 1930s were actually implemented in a country (in this case Ireland) during Wartime and they kind of stayed around afterwards because the people appreciated them.

Also if those two men were also really into the Monarchy for some reason.

You missed an opportunity by having them call their regime the "Union of Young Irishmen", if you know what I mean by that.

So he wants to make the world safe for democracy...by becoming a dictator?

Well, at least he hates Pope Mussolini. Stopped clock's right twice a day!

The question is if Caesar will be Cincinnatus or, well, Caesar.

*sometime after the cessation of hostilities with Russia*
Napoleon V: "Well, glad that's over. Now I can finally retire and pursue my real passion-- snowboarding!"
Messenger #1: "Majesté, the British have landed at Normandy and are threatening Caen!"
N: *crestfallen* "...Convene the General Staff."

Honestly, I think it would be a good character dynamic for the one leader in this world's history to actually sincerely want to do good to be constantly forced into wars and ever more authoritarianism. Shows that at this point the Madness is no longer caused by individuals; it has taken on a life of its own, and acts through leaders ala power in Shrek 2 if you watch Big Joel's immortal video on the subject

With regard to Ireland, I hope that it has some sort of civil war/war of religion in the 20s or 30s between the Irish monarchy and Nationals supporting Peter II, and the Republicans and Citizen Army supporting the People's Pope from Brazil.

Bonus point if this lead to some weird alliances like Finland supporting the catholic monarchy against the rebels out of spite or England and the RU helping the republicans in an effort to weaken a french ally

I feel like it would be the other way around, with the Republicans fighting for Peter II and the Supercatholics with the Monarchy and nationalist falling under the sway of the People’s Pope and his more socialist aligned rhetoric

Can't wait to read it! The only thing better than a Halloween story is a Madnessverse Halloween story.

Literally anyone in Ireland would be foolish to support Peter because Peter's current archenemy is the only thing keeping Churchill from finishing the job.

This is the Madness universe we're talking about. Never doubt the ability of peoples in this timeline to embrace insanity and run headlong into the most illogical and irrational of actions
