Having been to the region in question, the fact Chinland doesn't control Hakha or Falam or Paletwa means that it's basically just: (1) jungle, (2) villages burned by the Tatmadaw and Arakan Army, and (3) non-burned, minor villages
Also as the video highlights, the CNF is not explicitly...
Another fantastic installation Thande, and now we all have to eagerly await the next volume, and of course the 1957 map!
One question I don't think we ever got clarity on (or maybe even asked): The 1927 map says Italy lost its East African colony after the Romulans swept in, but...how exactly...
Well well well, what have we here? A Siam update? About time!
Excellent update Thande! As a general theme, the tone taken by the Siamese attaché reminds me immensely of both some of the Myanmar bureaucrats I dealt with during the Rohingya crisis, as well as Southeast Asians general attitudes to...
Ok, wow. This is easily one of the best chapters you've put out for LTTW thus far, Thande, if not the best. The Combine has always been the biggest mystery of the TL, and fleshing out such an alien entity is always fascinating. Love the Afro-Nusantaran element taking control; an interesting turn...
European electoral politics when there's a whole divided Africa facing down the Black Menace and suspiciously-African-looking-Indian-elephant (a jape, I assure you) flagged Bisnaga yet to be born?!? Thande, you tease!
But in all seriousness, while this section has started with the two kinds of...
So decolonization (for France) in the 1930s/1940s? Also, it's strange to realize that France's formal empire ITTL is really so small, given how powerful the country was up until (and arguably still after) the Black Twenties.
And as said above, that choice for Bisnaga's flag. One small quip...
I think the big challenge you'll have hear is encouraging Nusantaran polities to go to Europe. Europe came for spices, tea, porcelain, etc., which led to most of the East running a net positive in trade for centuries. But when it comes to what Europe has, to encourage repeated trade...
Interesting to see that Indonesia, of all countries, has signed on to any international organization, let alone one with China (big no-no since the events of 1965).
Curious to see what changed there.
*sees general collapse of society, induced by climate change; clear annihilation of liberal democracy
...weeps.
*sees Myanmar overthrew the SAC in the 2020s and became a post-Bamar supremacist, revolutionary entity
...you did good, Ernacius. Damn good.
If I recall, the event that led Belgium into the Russian camp was the Mentian uprising in that area. Combined with both the republican entity during the Jacobin Era, and the racially purged effects post-Nightmare War, must be viewed as France doing something controversial, from a historical...
I've been thinking about this as well, and am reminded of the comments made by the "ambassador" to Fredericksburg following Rubikon. If the Societists truly view the "nations" of the world in a similar light to how imperial powers viewed the indigenous peoples in the Americas/Africa/Australia...
Referring to the Indian Ocean earthquake that wrecked Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Co. in our timeline, as has been referenced before.
Also...not how I thought we were getting "East Russia"...but also, not disappointed.
