Interesting last two updates! I'm really interested to find out more about the "Black Twenties" and I really enjoy skimming through the election infobox. The amount of detail put into this TL is fantastic, and I have to appreciate how much you take advantage of the 17th Century POD to have...

Ah, sounds neat! I personally really liked your write-up for the CSA in that EG, so for what it's worth I'd love to see you run a similar scenario again.

Didn't you try to do this awhile back with the CSA and Germany as the two main factions?

Ah, this is the newspaper that the CSA Discord made during the KCC art competition. I think there are a few other pages of this paper lying around somewhere.

Why do you demand that we suffer?

Chapter Thirty: The Bourbon War Part Two When winter came to an end and the spring of 1857 began to dawn across Europe, the biggest change to the Bourbon War would emerge not from the already active belligerents, but from states straddling neutrality in the midst of the clash between communists...

The Arab Spring likely still happens, and regardless of which Assad is in power the human rights issues that existed in OTL will still plague the SAR, so in all likelihood something akin to the Syrian Revolution still occurs. Assuming the end result ITTL is still a civil war, I think you could...

Yeah, the war in France is certainly chaotic, which is more or less the only situation that the Royalists can even hope to gain some degree of footing.

Hey everyone! Apparently this chapter was too long to be posted in its entirety, so as a consequence I had to split in half. This means that Chapter Thirty should be posted tomorrow! This was definitely a chapter that I enjoyed writing, if only due to a lot of the dynamics of the Bourbon War...

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Bourbon War Part One The Amsterdam stock exchange crashed during what was seemingly a period of stability for the Roturier Kingdom of France. The 1840s had been a generous decade for the French due to the collapse of both the Ottoman and Chinese empires, which allowed...

Ah, I thought the New England states were supposed to be the sole remnant of the US after they were the only states to ratify the constitution. My bad! In that case, the Northwest Territory goes to the remaining states of the US, although the same issues regarding land disputes with other...

Assuming I read it correctly, in this scenario New England is what remains of the Continental Congress, just after having ratified a more centralized constitution.

Ooh, I like that concept. I have to wonder if the secession of states from the Union due to disagreements at the Constitutional Convention would trigger a civil war, but given that the Continental Army wasn’t that strong I can see New England backing down from a fight it knows it can’t win. If...

It depends on why exactly states would be incentivized to reduce the powers of the Continental Congress. Historically, a primary benefit for keeping the US around for the states was the fact that it provided mutual defense, so I can see it go the way of the German Confederation and have its sole...

I think what's important with determining the borders of balkanized US scenarios is the context. Usually people go with a scenario along the lines of the Articles of Confederation staying in place and ultimately leading to the dissolution of the US, but what happens next is important. For...

Probably. Something arising out of OTL Kazakhstan makes the most geographic sense to me.

I guess the best way to do this would be to have a Mongol-esque state emerge from central Eurasia (I say central Eurasia because if, unlike the Mongols, this emote is more or less equidistant from a lot of major regions, it won’t have to conquer one before the other) and simultaneously invade...

IIRC the United States’ main motivation for purchasing Louisiana was control over the Mississippi River. If the British can somehow secure this to an extent, the Americans will be appeased at least in the short term. With that being said, however, I think the movement of American settlers to...

It should be noted that the German Empire from WWI is no longer a thing. It was overthrown and replaced by the fascist German Heilsreich in the 1920s, which uses the flag seen on the poster as its official flag. You're right to point out that the inspiration for this flag comes from OTL's...
