One thing I am curious about. With the increased development of the colonies how has that changed the development of Canada. For the first 50years after confederation there was a significant drain of Anglophone and Francophone emigration to the USA; to the point that the 1900 US census shows...

Germany was by no means unified in the strategy best characterized by the Schlieffen Plan if you are looking to change things up. Throughout the latter half of the 19th and into the early 20th century the two schools of thought were roughly translated into English as the elimination strategy and...

In regards to Russia; in OTL Russia has been a highly centralized country, both politically, culturally, and economically, and has had the frequent problem where the rulers in Moscow or St. Petersburg look out upon the Moscow/St. Petersburg axis, assume the entire country is like that, and...

If you are looking for something unique while still maintaining at least some temporal power for Rhomanian Emperors; and why wouldn't you want to maintain a line going back 2 millennia; a unique way would be to look at how a Pope is elevated and adapt to Rome. 1: Basilieus dies and everyone...

Was I the only one waiting for her to rip open her shirt exposing her breast in front of the Thracian tagma and shout "If any man would shoot his empress let him step forward now" and than they all join her. To go with a good Napoléon parallel. Just me? that's fine. Still a great update looking...

Outside of the South East virtually all of Australia are islands in a desert. As for the why there are a lot of reasons and not just Darwin but Perth, Cairns, Adelaide as well: 1) For all the mines in the area. Just as it is easier to ship things over transport by rail it is also easier to...

Forgive me for going off topic a bit but I am curious as to the infrastructure development throughout the empire. More specifically the development of railways and ports in areas that didn't see much of anything for decades beyond OTL but with the increase in Indian development and with China...

An easier way to go about it would be to give limited weighting to population. Say everyone gets one vote than additional vote at 500,000, 1M, 5M, 10M, etc. At the moment it seems completely unfeasible that Fiji (population 125,000) has the same voting power as England (population 33,500,000)...

Does casualties in this context mean dead or dead and wounded because that can change a lot in looking at what Greece and Turkey especially are going through.

I think they are aware of how it is going to end careers considering the Dragoumis took the deal and immediately resigned as a result of it in the last update. Sometimes though statecraft requires looking at the big picture. The Greeks were given 2 bad options; take the city and immediately have...

I’ve argued before and I’ll do so again; the best case scenario for Rome in regards to Sicily is that it becomes truly neutral in a similar vein of Switzerland in OTL. There are no critical resources that Sicily can provide Rome that it can’t get elsewhere; the economy will always be relatively...

Okay than. For my personal enjoyment and because I have about 5.5 hours to kill behold my not (yet??) canon of Hellenized/Christianized names. Feel free to totally disregard. Rhomanian Cities: Skopje - Skoupoi Tirana - Tirana Durres - Dyrrachio Plovdiv - Philippoupolis Sofia - Sofia...

Well at least that clears everything up. Thank you so much for really making clear a direction that everyone is going with such a clear and concise overview of the allied position. /s So now we know that unreasonable demands of Greece won't be met so at the very least we can cross off Roman...

@Basileus444 is the naming of cities the actual names used in universe or just a short hand so that we the readers know the areas mentioned. I ask because it seems likely that in a Roman/Hellenistic dominated Palestine there would be a strong desire to rename cities to Hellenistic/Roman names...

I don't think anyone is thinking Turkey will keep any possessions in Europe at this point. Rather the discussion is on whether Constantinople will revert to a Greek city or a neutral city state similar to Austria OTL. I am still in the camp that Constantinople will almost certainly see Greek...
