Another map that took me way too long to actually complete (I started it in March 2021), and my second attempt at making a QGIS map. Behold, Amish New England:
Pretty random, but here's a map I made last year showing the location of every Home Depot and Lowe's in Massachusetts. For the most part they tend to be located somewhat close to each other, but unlike Lowe's, Home Depot has a few locations in the really urbanized parts of metro Boston.
Newfoundland was made large since the idea was that the US would favor anglophone states over francophone Quebec, hence it has a much reduced size ITTL (though it’s still big). Changing New Brunswick to New Ireland was more of a creative choice, but my thinking was that the US would want to give...
Most of Quebec’s political history would be marked by tension between Anglos and Francos, much like in OTL Louisiana. The Francos would be reliable New Deal Democrat voters as the New England Acadians/Québécois and Louisiana Cajuns used to be, but like other Franco-Americans they would have...
Another map that took me way too long to complete (I started it last September). The idea was to create a scenario where Quebec gets "Louisianafied" as part of the United States- it retains its Catholicism and many elements of Francophone culture, but is largely assimilated into Anglo-American...
How would the emergence of a virus like SARS-CoV-2 in late 1999 and the resulting havoc across the globe have been different from the OTL pandemic? What would the disease have been called? Pathogen naming conventions were changed a few years before the COVID-19 outbreak, so it probably wouldn’t...
Here's a map depicting Plymouth if it survived as a separate colony from Massachusetts Bay and became a US state. The flag is also an original creation. In this timeline Plymouth Colony is granted a charter after the dissolution of the Dominion of New England instead of being absorbed by its...
As I’m not the creator of the timeline I’m not sure what Romney does to get such strong numbers with Hispanics. You may be right that Trump’s populism without the anti immigration parts may do well with them. I’ll ask Reagent about this and see what he says.
EDIT: Reagent says that Romney...
I haven't really figured too much of the world beyond the HRE. My original idea was that the HRE slowly eats away at a stubborn and resilient Russian tsardom. The current border largely follows the Don and Volga Rivers making further expansion difficult in a country that is already famous for...
