I meant moreso in the long term, though of course that's impossible for anyone to predict at the time of admission.

Any Shasta state would be too underpopulated IMO, should just be annexed to California (and that way California and Colorado would be of comparable size).

Not sure I'm totally sold, but a good enough explanation, I could see lack of direct colonial involvement leading to underdeveloped infrastructure/healthcare and keep the population low. But at the same time, given that the island is still probably underdeveloped and hasn't reached demographic...

Since apparently the kingdom still leased Pearl Harbor to the USN, I think it still would have seen significant immigration, and probably went through something like colonialism (even if informally) through plantation companies. Not just a small white anglo class that would be fairly easy to...

EIC run India, now more or less independent of the metropole? EDIT: I see this was already answered, more or less, here:

Appreciate it. Unfortunately, the Mexico one is of much lesser quality than the American and Canadian one. The Canadian one is almost perfect, definitely better than the American

Could you link/post those? Would be interested

Mildly interesting: It looks like the shape of Lake Doramos is taken from a common map/patch of the lost continent of Mu.

It's certainly plausible, they would be comparable in size to the other empires of the the Early Iron Age middle east. As to what the results are? Hard to say, other than that you've butterflied the entire history of the Middle East and therefore the world. It probably doesn't last super long...

I like the little neutral patch of desert between Arabia and Iraq

Well I think it's neat

Obviously it would be far too easy to confuse with Denamrk. You could say the same thing, I suppose, about England given that there was an Anglia/Angeln/Engla land in Europe that the Angles hailed from, but this was very minor province geographically and politically, and indeed the continental...

Interesting that they only provided the French and not Dutch name of Belgium, despite Dutch speakers making up over half of the country and being wealthier. I mean sure French is the former prestige/elite language, but it seems bizarre to exclude that while also providing bilingual variants of...

Would be interesting to see these maps applied to WorldA with the generic "white with cultural color outline" used for city state or otherwise non-state societies.

Probably neither, I think he means it in a metaphorical sense, that Belgium will become an extremely powerful state in the territory once held by Old Burgundy, thereby comparable to it. Maybe he meant the title as well, but I seriously doubt he meant actually annexing most of Burgundy's former...
