I was about to make that joke, like, I had the image in the comment, writing the same thing, and you posted it. I feel strangely satisfied to not have been the only one to think about that, and frustrated that I didn't posted it in time.

As a Brit, I feel obliged to ask, which one?You have to read it with a thick British accent
TL-KBA-777: Provinces of the United Empire of Fredonia
As this map is apparently glorifying the Celtic and Brythonic languages and peoples, it can only be a Cornish pastiche.As a Brit, I feel obliged to ask, which one?
Seems the Soviets are still going to deport the Kola Norwegians into Finno-Karelia here. The borders with Norway confuse me mildly though. Why and how did the Soviets get that far north? Guessing it is explaining in that person’s timeline?

I mean, that’s basically what Nova Scotia is, but I thought the name Acadia would be more unique and could also symbolize a shedding of British colonial titles, something that the large French population would appreciate.I do love when there is a New Ireland in northeastern North America, but a shame to love the New Scotland while doing it.
This does have historical precedent, as Maine did lay claims deep into Canada for much of its history. Not to the St. Lawrence River, but definitely pretty close. Considering that there’s no British authorities around to prevent the approval of such a claim ITTL, Maine becomes much larger. I’d assume that later extensions to the St. Lawrence River only happened after Maine became a province, when infrastructure in the region is more developed.I feel the northern border of Maine isn’t too realistic, as it is more likely the northern area by the the St. Lawrence would have been settled first and the mountains and land inbetween that area and the rest of main would make public services impractical even. It is why Massachusetts gave up a tiny corner of land between them, Connecticut, and New York to New York.
ITTL, King Richard’s Land is named after Richard Arnold, who was one of Benedict Arnold’s children in OTL and was assassinated ITTL as a prelude to the American Civil War. The King Richard’s Land Territory was named in honor of the martyr king shortly after the American Civil War came to an end.King Richard’s Land is a bit oddly named. Most of the Thirteen Colonies were named after British/English royals, but they did not include their title. Richard might also be seen as a bad name for a king back then, though I am guessing the person was born with the name before anyone thought of that.
Thanks! I actually first ran into the word in Harry Turtledove's work - his Worldwar series, specifically.hah, that Nichevo moment made me smile. The word fits the situation perfectly. If it’s no secret, where did you get it?
Great work, by the way! For some reason I was sure that one day I would see your cover on that map.
A nice map but I have to question Britain losing Scotland. They still have a very strong navy and its far more likely that they lose a few colonies, if anything at all, because the French simply don't have the naval strength to attack the British Isles, nor the colonial troops to attack British colonies which effectively means that the French can't really touch them. Even the Jacobites wouldn't be able to turn that particular front in French favour because they simply don't have the strength to defeat the British without serious French support in boots on the ground.View attachment 544733
A Map of Europe in 1722 in which during the Spanish succession war, France successfully invaded and conquer Vienna with Bavaria and the Hungarian rebels. With the fall of Vienna, most of the German principality states join the french side of the war. The dutch would soon be overrun on all sides where the dutch surrender after their loss in the battle of the hauge. Britain soon sue for peace and was force to lose scotland
I know that about Nova Scotia. I was referencing its absence. As for extensions to the St. Lawrence, I meant the river shores would be populated before the mountains inbetween. Besides, if no one would stop Massachusetts or Maine from land claims, then they would have claimed parts you gave to New Ireland, as they did IOTL. There has to already be settlement up there unless you are making a lot of extreme changes. And unless the changes involve making Acadia fully French by shipping the Acadians from mainland there, then it does seem like it would need to be French. Or is Maine French here? The northern portions even today have high percentage of Acadian ancestry. But yah, Maine isn’t all that far from Quebec City here, so I will leave it at that. And I fully know about King Richard here, having seen it in your original post. My issue was calling it King Richard’s Land, as the early colonies where not called King George’s Land, Queen Elizabeth's Land, King Charles Land, or Duke of York’s Land.I mean, that’s basically what Nova Scotia is, but I thought the name Acadia would be more unique and could also symbolize a shedding of British colonial titles, something that the large French population would appreciate.

Very good scenario, I think it's funny that the Spaniards take over the Austrian Netherlands.For @xmoose, I think I did it on accident for France owning Luxembourg. Also, Bohemia and Silesia gain independence thanks to the collapse of the Austria Empire. I am planning on making a sequel that focuses on 1776 Europe for this timeline.
