Looking forward to it!!
“Commonwealth of Pacifica” which may include part of Russia... oh now you have my attention!
Are you telling me that the British get to Kamchatka before the Russians or conquer the region from the Russians?
I'll do an infobox on them after the one I do the one I'm currently working on, stay tuned!
@Goweegie2 Did you do a constituency map for the election, or just provincial at this point (from the wikibox)? Either way, just wanted to say I'm loving TTL!
They have roughly Weimar borders plus the Polish corridor but minus southern Schleswig. They have the monarchy but due to their losses in the Great Wars the monarchy's power was all but eliminated, with it being even weaker than most constitutional monarchies, roughly comparable to OTL Japan's. Ever since roughly the 50s they've been a functional democracy, although a certain Heinz Kissinger did unfortunately serve as Chancellor for a hot minute
This is all assuming I don't change it btw, I'm willing to change it up a bit should anyone give me suggestions I like for what to do with it
@Goweegie2 , what is Theresa Boshnyak's background? Is her last name an anglicization of Bošnjak (meaning a Bosnian Muslim/ethnic Bosniak or, archaically, any person from Bosnia)?
[edit: yeah I know its been a while since you posted her wikibox, I've just been forgetting to ask.]

Well I know that there’s a lot of Croatians in IRL Tierra del Fuego, so maybe that carries over to this TL.
Speaking of Tierra del Fuego, it was often called “Fireland” in formal English uses back in the day, so it would probably be called that. I know it doesn’t sound too good, but it’s very likely in this scenario.
There are Croats there ITTL as well, there's a language or ethnicity map in here somewhere. That's part of why I asked.
Yep! Boshnyak (which is anglicized from Bošnjak) is technically her married name but her maiden name is Vrdoljak which is also Croatian, and both her and her husband's families originate in TTL's Yugoslavia (OTL Croatia and Bosnia), with them both identifying as ethnically Croatian on the census
Not so much Tierra del Fuego ITTL as southern Magellan, but yeah
I kept it called Tierra del Fuego ITTL bcs rule of cool
Yep, you can find it right here! I actually just made it on Sunday lol
Kinda the opposite actually bcs I lost the article I was making lol
US President Mark Hanna; Battle of Red Jacket; Assassination of Mark Hanna; Andrew Kangas
I decided today's update should have some local flavor from where I'm from.
Mark Hanna was an American businessman and politician who served as President of the United States from 1901 to his assassination in 1904. A staunchly pro-business president, today he is perhaps best remembered for his involvement in the Battle of Red Jacket, in which he sent in the National Guard to crush a copper miners' strike in the village of Red Jacket, Michigan in December 1903.
The following February, he would travel to Red Jacket to personally thank the guardsmen involved for their role in crushing the strike. While taking a carriage up Sixth Street in Red Jacket he would be shot and killed by a Finnish-born miner named Andrew Kangas who was involved in the strike. Nearby police officers would then rush Kangas, shooting him to death as well. Some witnesses report Kangas' last words after he was shot were "history will remember me as a hero, can Hanna say the same?"
Today, while most simply forget Hanna and the events surrounding his assassination, Kangas is considered a folk hero by many on the American hard left. The street where the assassination happened was later renamed to Andrew Kangas Boulevard. Hanna's tomb was later erected in Red Jacket, a move which has drawn the ire of many locals. The national reaction to the events of Red Jacket led to the Farmer-Labor Party winning the presidency for the first time ever in the 1904 election, and Hanna's National Republican Party never again winning a presidential election. Gustave Kinnunen, the de facto leader of the striking miners at Red Jacket, would later be pardoned and made Secretary of Labor.
