No real reason to not rebuild on the land that's already cleared from the swampland, since the location is pretty good once you clear it and there's a lot of history to look after. On the other hand I doubt it'll expand much beyond that.

There's no way the FN win an election before their "normalization" drive and the collapse of traditional French politics. But assuming a freak event, he would have no one to call on in the assembly so he'd have to govern with a prime minister from one of the main parties anyway. He wouldn't be...

I think the biggest issue to criticize from the point of view of a successful revolution will be the purge of its radical wing, actually. There's going to be questions asked about whether the Hebertists really had to be purged when they also had to rehabilitate a lot of their associates to get...

Great to see some attention to the French revolution and especially its radical edge! Some writing thoughts so far from my French mind: - I think you meant the Marais not Marasie - You have some cases of é being replaced by è in names I'm also interested in seeing how the coalition between the...

That's why they added the sauce, I expect. It would be unbearable without it but a good sauce can save a lot of dishes.

Impressive! At this point you may as well set up an actual wiki (I think there's free ones?), this way it'll handle variable screen and text sizes better.

Is the promise a lie though. Countries who did make their own revolutions did get their own independence from imperialism. Vietnam is a good example.

Oh damn, factories? Yeah that must inflame the nationalist elements in China.

"Farmer" is a very specific word, often distinguishable from "farm worker" and I think it's worth keeping that in mind. The US may have been a land of settler-farmers, and frankly labeling those as likely reactionary for propertarian reasons is probably accurate. But it also had a bunch of land...

On the other hand, if you managed to avoid the dust bowl or something similar, it probably means you have a more robust agriculture that hasn't fallen prey to the monoculture and soil exhaustion traps? Unless you decide to merely delay it and have the 50s be your dust bowl equivalent wake up...

The currency talk makes me think of Cuba's system too. They have lots of trouble with acquiring foreign currency and sorely need it to import anything. Though of course tourists tend to come to them so the stores are on their territory. Yeah I kinda agree, this is detailed and quite well...

Good to see the reconstruction policies working out in Mississippi, though the Klan is of course worrying...

Oh yeah, this campaign angle makes sense in the context of Democrats' thought patterns. They're pretty convinced that swing voters are moderates rather than all over the place, after all, and this has been their target demographic for a long time. It's just funny.

This does feel like a weakness of the story to me too. The republicans were already deep on a path to radicalization and arresting that seems unlikely.

The democrats nominating an anti healthcare, anti gay marriage candidate is way too real. It's one of those cases where the moderate republican looks attractive just to teach them a lesson in having guts.
