I didn't think that it'd be terribly relevant to the mainstream political philosophers, aye. Thanks for your thoughts. I'm now imagining a bit of Diversitarian propaganda, in the form of a short story about a Scotsman who gets transplanted with an Englishman's heart and suffers as a result. I...
I favor South and/or West Africa first, then a look at the Americas outside of the ENA and UPSA.
The various logos for Diversitarianism look nice, but the seven-pointed star in the middle suddenly made me think of the Faith of the Seven from A Song of Ice and Fire, and now it won't get out of...
It seems like you can avoid some shenanigans by just giving a rough population distribution/density map or chart ("This is an urban center, that's a bunch of barely-occupied nominal claims") without hard numbers. This would still be some work for you, Thande, and I can understand if you don't...
I'd play it.
(I remember that the earlier parts of the timeline gave me a hankering for Europa Universalis III like no other. That hard would be harder to make, I think, as the game mechanics don't really allow for the sort of divergences we see in LttW. Vicky 2 is a better fit, though.)
I think you mean Jacobite (I've been making similar mistakes too). I'm going to go ahead and guess that we won't be any silliness like a personal union of Scotland and Bavaria; I could see TTL alternate-history writers doing something with the idea, though.
I must admit, the new/future British...
So the highest authority in UNE aside from the Emperor himself is an Irishman, and the highest authority in Ireland except for Lord Mornington (I think?) is now an American.
I get the feeling that the UNE and Ireland are going to remain very, very tightly tied together in the future, whatever...
As Thande has said multiple times now, no it isn't, not until the end of the Popular Wars. If he wants to do one or two to indicate the extent of one revolution or another, that's fine, but he's said multiple times that he plans to do the big map cycle after the wars when all the areas of the...
Huh. Now THAT'S interesting.
Check out the dotted line branching off from George II. At the bottom of it is Richard FitzGeorge, who is still alive as of 'now' in the timeline. He's related to the royal line by illegitimate means, and it's way the frak back there, but should Frederick die...
Hmm, this update makes Anti-Societist!England's propaganda and the not-UN's actions make a lot more sense. Sanchez's views seem to be leaning toward destroying divisive ethnic and linguistic distinctions (a concept that strikes me as a travesty, as a linguistics student myself), and acknowledge...
"The Inglorious Revolution" makes me think of something that was a big, bloody, rather stupid debacle that neither side really won. Say that (just for example) a bunch of English Jacobins staged a revolution, overthrew the Churchill regime, and then fell apart into backbiting and internal...
We should have seen that coming, the whole lot of us. When we were busy trying to figure out where everything would go to hell, we should have taken advice from the thread title...
and Looked to the West.
*ducks, runs, hides*
I wouldn't surprise me if the Royalist French had vaguely grateful feelings to the Bretons for their role in the war, somewhat similar to (if less intense than) Churchill's feelings toward Ireland. This could translate to a more lenient linguistic/assimilation policy that leads to the Bretons...
Given all the Napoleonic threads, I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned:
1815: Napoleon Bonaparte defeats the forces of the Duke of Wellington near a small Belgian town named Waterloo.
I'm afraid that you've set an impossible task; the swift tactics of WWII were made possible by tanks, trucks, and more advanced planes; there's no way that the world would switch to fruitless trench warfare when technology that produces results is ripe for the taking.
Hmm... Assuming that Sargon is right and Kyushu (or even most/all of Japan) was conquered by the Mongols, that would have an interesting effect on the dissolution of the Mongol empire- namely, how long would an island khanate have lasted?
