Hmmm… I think I smell a brawl coming up between Germany and Austria in the future… And meanwhile, how are the various ethnic groups within Austria going deal with the new internal divisions? I love the flag for the Federation of Germany. Nice to see that the Germans like eagles just like...

Oh wow, Emperor Francis has probably stirred up a hornet's nest by naming his daughter Josephine his successor! I wonder what Karl Francis is going to do now… And that's a very pretty flag for the Triple Monarchy. I just wonder if granting Hungary and Bohemia a bit of self-governence isn't...

Beautiful new state map! Is this map of Georgia in the current date of 1870?

OMG… The Republic of Georgia ISOTed to OTL during the years of Reagan, Thatcher and Gorbachev?! For the love of God... please, please, PLEASE make this an actual timeline!

Oh hell, just what Georgia didn't need - a half-baked, fire-eating racist/monarchist shredding the constitution, inflaming race tensions and precipitating a civil war.:mad: To all those loyal Georgians who will go to war to crush the Kingdom and preserve the Republic, I offer up this little...

So, the Ukrainians have declared independence and are now supporting the Third Reich… This will probably not turn out well for them when the tide of fortune starts to turn against the Nazis, judging by how the Soviets dealt with rebellions before. (One small note - there is no (1) listed in...

So... the Russians are planning to hit the Pakistanis, and the Americans are going to let them do it. They still don't know that the Russians have already hit them once… they won't know until their satellite passes over Kahuta… What's going to happen when/if the Americans learn the Russians...

Congratulations on winning the Turtledove award for The Land of Freedom! This timeline is great and is one of my favorites - Keep up the good work! (By the way, the year in Interlude VIII is off - it's 1846, not 1815.)

Now this sounds like a very interesting timeline… I'm going to be following it closely. One small thing though - Chapter 5 - "The Enemy Engages" - is listed as Chapter 4.

A question about the Commons v1 - is the egram/e-gram (electronic telegram?) this timeline's version of OTL's e-mail?

Oh hell, the Soviets are attempting to install nuclear missiles in Cuba… If they can succeed in doing so before the government finds out about it, the Soviets will have a very big club to hold over the Americans' heads. And just what will President Thurmond's reaction be to this - not to...

So, Strom has just signed the Second New Deal into law... this may go a long way towards fixing the problems in the United States - provided the Federal government can come up with the money to do so! Wonder how Russia, China and the Red terror cells, etc. will respond to this. (On a...

Oh great, as if America didn't have enough problems with high unemployment and terrorism by the Reds, KKK, etc., now the country has to deal with a Polio outbreak! ...Maybe after this the Feds will dust off the late Dr. Salk's research and start looking into a creating a vaccine.

So, now the Reds have started using explosive suicide vests. If this becomes a regularly-used tactic in the US, it's going to be a absolute nightmare for law enforcement. Of course, this depends on how many American Reds are fanatical enough to commit such acts. A note: There's no events...

Damn, J. Edgar Hoover really got screwed - twice! Fired by Nixon (for incompetence/ineffectiveness?) and then caught in bed with Tolson by the cops… His reputation is now, I believe, truly in the toilet. Now it remains to be seen whether Hoover will take Nixon and possibly all of Washington...

So, Strom Thurmond appears to be thinking about running for POTUS. This is not going to be good for the civil rights movement if he gets elected, since many right-wingers saw the Blacks' fight for equal rights under the law as being co-opted/directed by the communists... a convenient excuse...

Ah damn, things have just gone all to hell now. Nixon's going to have his hands full with the reaction from the other world powers, particularly from Europe and other allies. God knows how he will deal with it; the US can't afford to alienate/lose any more of it's allies at this point...

So, Joseph McCarthy is now POTUS. God knows how bad the Red witch hunts are going to get now. This could be the beginning of an American police state... Also, IOTL McCarthy died in '57 of acute hepatitis (liver inflammation) brought on by his rampant alcoholism. If he gets re-elected in '56...

Hmm, an interesting thought comes to mind... In OTL, the British Empire abolished slavery throughout the realm in 1833. Will the division of America into an anti-slavery USA and a pro-slavery RoA in any way affect the anti-slavery movement in Britain?

So, "Dear Leader" Kim Il-Sung bites the bullet ITTL. I wonder, how will this effect North Korea - will it be less of a dysfunctional hellhole as IOTL? A couple of points regarding the the East German uprising: The first underling problem is what? (not listed) And the work quota is...
