There's some very strong worldbuilding in the writing of this timeline, finding a good balance between full allohistory and OTL parallels. The alternate US is certainly one of the more interesting variations I've seen on this nation. I'm curious why and how the war against them turned so sour for the British Empire; what happened to all the regional rebellions in Texas, Louisiana, and the South in general? I really thought the US would come apart at the seams, but its internal dysfunction seems to have been drastically overstated. Then again, the foreign invasion seems to have paradoxically rallied the people behind Hogan. Better the devil you know?
