You don't need to show all of Europe for what are two relatively small countries. It's just a lot of wasted space when you could have done bigger maps with more detail.

This is a rather needlessly demanding and impetuous way of going about asking what you'd like to see next.

Even when it 'was' is was an Island by virtue of being in the middle of fenland.

Ely isn't an island (despite what the name suggest) :biggrin:

Does the South exist ITTL, or is it underwater (not that I'd be upset with the latter, despite living in the South, I'm just curious)? This map speaks a fair bit of truth:

Yeah and it's simply not going to happen. Once the 1999 Act passed, there was no going back- even the Tories (hardest hit by the Act IIRC) accepted that it was here to stay once it passed, and even proposed further reform to the Upper Chamber. Nothing short of a space bat fluttering its wings...

Why the name change (and why 'Politibrit' of all things)?

If you're going to quote wikipeida to justify the Liberal Party (who notably aligned with the Tories and often presented themselves as the non-socialist alternative to Labour) joining a Popular Front, do read the actual article that notes how and why the party rejected a Popular Front. Not to...

"Peter Shore is a right-winger" is one of those cliches that never made a lick of sense. And the Liberal's using the Unicorn is a weird too.

It would be far easier to visualise the nth county level map if it was accompanied with a state level map, instead of leaving it to the reader to just take a punt at guessing what the results would be.

Spoiler: Rhodesia wasn't 'unremarkable' for the native africans living there, and indeed having your country continue to be named after a white supremacist who exploited your people and your land isn't going to be 'on' when it comes to the majority rule.

R&D costs, I would have assumed.

Barry McElduff, the Sinn Féin MP for West Tyrone, posted a video of himself with a loaf of Kingsmill (the brand is important) on his head, asking where the shop kept its bread. He posted that video on the 42nd Anniversary of the Kingsmill massacre, in which gunmen belonging to the South Armagh...
