These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

[Kibbutznik]

I though they were talking about Liz Cheney?

I think @CosmicAsh mentioned at one point that Cortez was on the Privy Council, but that may no longer be canon.

I don't know what the ALO is? Just that it announced a "first birth" and that "both (presumably mother and child) would be monitored"?
"Celebrated author Ashley Fletcher." Stop with the self-plugging, please.
Stanley McChrystal was born at Ft. Leavenworth military hospital in Kansas. Other than that, I don't know much about his family, so they could have been New Englanders and not Americans.

Did you just tell the author of the T/L to stop self promoting IN THEIR OWN TIMELINE?

A response is required this question by 16:00 PDT on May 21, 2021. Lacking one will leave me to my own interpretations.

I think I can explain. I thought it was a little egotistical.

Glad to see Folkestone getting a mention... been there a couple of times and it's lovely.

Oh boy, America's getting uglier and uglier. Also, poor Texas. Was hoping to see a declaration of secession from them

This brings up an interesting question: did the Republic of Texas ever exist ITTL? Those borders would indicate so... If this is the case, I imagine they'll bolt in short order. (The Turtledove fan in me is reminded of how the state did just that in TL-191)

I'd imagine so, but the coup in Texas dashed any "official" declaration of secession from the state government. I'd see a fair-sized insurgency there, as if Louisiana of all states doesn't like federal interference, then I'd doubt Texas would, either

You have ZERO right to do that.

NEVER pull this horseshit again.

Michael Flynn was born in Connecticut. Did his parents (or even he himself) immigrate?

Actually he was born in Rhode Island, but that's still New England.

Some interesting New England companies include:

• Colt Firearms-obviously useful for the New England military and police. (I feel like Colt sidearms would be standard-issue for police forces across New England.)
• Scovill-mostly brass and other objects. Could be used by New England military, but also in times of peace, consumer goods like appliances.
• Stanley Tool & Die Works-manufacturers of tools and dies for metal objects. Could be used by New England military. In times of peace, consumer goods such as tools for homeowners who want to DIY projects and for workmen across New England.
• Stop n' Shop-grocery store chain.
• Hannaford-Another grocery store chain.

One idea I had is that Stanley Tool & Die could also operate a chain of hardware stores. Kind of like a TTL New England equivalent of a Home Depot or Lowe's.

What did you use to create the portraits of Napoleon and Adams?

 

[PNWKing]

I wonder what the official state car of New England is.

Hang on, hang on,
"Libya unveils plan to end use of Hungarian in official documents"
What the hell happened here- a colonial Hungario-Austrian empire?

CosmicAsh mentioned that Austria-Hungary took Libya ITTL, with Hungarian administrators.

 

[PNWKing]

Whatever happened ITTL to a certain Pennsylvanian who moved to Massachusetts later on his life IOTL, Marc Brown.

Thanks, @CosmicAsh. I can no longer read anything about Maryland without thinking of Chairman Larri Hogan The mark of an outstanding TL!

 

[CosmicAsh]

 

[Kaiser Wilhelm the Tenth]

Hogan's done it now.

What the bejesus!!!
