Well its going to take some time to digest all that. Great job at showing how terrible things are.

I expect he will actually. A tidy little thing wth only his name and the dates. No gruesome Cromwell act to write of at length, just an ignominious grave utterly unremarkable to befit the man whose ego ITTL saw a boot on America's neck for a generation.

Here's a thought. When New Granada rebels, Mexico comes to their aid in exchange for panama and other concessions. And leading the Mexican forces assisting the rebels, is Napoleon II. Who not only gains a great name for his achievements there but scores big PR points with the locals...

Founding Fathers Ghosts': Collective Facepalm. Except Jefferson and Hamilton who are both arguing over whose fault this is. I am hoping Calhounville will be renamed in Gaines honor after the Destitute Era. And that America won't have to wait until the 1950s for things to improve. It was...

Another matter I have considered for North America, is Tejas. The Comanche are active in the region and they have an alliance with Louisiana. And then we have the Mexican Empire trying to turn their often theoretical control of the region into fact. Also its been stated that New Orleans does...

For the near future it looks like Charcas will get conquered in some kind of masterstroke with both the improved infrastructure of the Spanish Empire an Spain's best commander leading the charge. But as we know, said commander will become leader of Spain and apparently his conservative...

When did they get a coast? The map shows the republic as landlocked doesn't it? And it looks like the Andean conquest is coming, and will end up I am guessing as the zenith of Spain's imperial resurgence. What's going on in Paraguay? Huzzah for the Maori! Even if the Maori of South island...

It seems BNA will be divided three ways at least ITTL eventually. The Maritimes joining the UK. The Canadas into the Dominion of Canada. And OTL BC as Borelia. The fate of the Prairie provinces and Rupert's Land is still up in the air.

The Himalayan conflict seems set to have some major butterflies. For one the survival of another local state against Imperialism. Wonder what role the Dalai Llamas will have as part of the empire and the wider Llamaist Buddhism ITTL. The other is that I am guessing the loss of Tibet and...

That was the case under Calhoun but Jackson has been stated to be mote moderate across the board, so I am guessing that industry in the Union is recovering somewhat with less favoritism toward the planters. That's not to say the situation is good, but I expect it is getting a steady...

My first prediction is that the Mexican-American War will be subverting expectations given the author's love for the path less trodden. For instance I am thinking Mexico will actually start the war; possibly due to American persecution of Catholics but in the end its Mexico that starts the...

A pleasant surprise. Will need time to properly consider it.

I take it as China is going to get parts carved off, but the core remaining majority is going to bounce back quicker. We may see China on the rise by 1900 ITTL. As for the Qing hard to say. We have divergence nearly a century before their downfall of OTL. With republicanism currently...

Well I have never seen a Himalayan Empire, so I'd say you are doing just fine on the cliche dodging.

The American Union is the one to have the actual boots on the ground in Northern Louisiana. The Kingdom tried to press a claim there but couldn't make it stick, so the current border was established in the same treaty that established the Kingdom officially.

For African colonization: I see New England and America getting on on it. For New England its the money and prestige bit. The usual subjects and such. A lot will depend on whether they are still seen as Britain's plucky sidekick internationally. For the USA, I am thinking whey abolish...

Any chance Joseph Plumb Martin's Ordinary Courage will still exist ITTL?

Any chance of a surviving Maori state separate from any settler state?

For this subject I am going to agree with other posters that Britain will ride higher longer here, but grow complacent and fail to secure any enduring superpower status for itself. One future mistake I could see is with my ongoing theory on the Northwest. That many in BNA want to shut out...

Well well, so Metternich is starting to make moves however reluctantly. Let us see if the maestro can pull one more score from his hat as the rhythm of the continent changes. Taking cues from the Swiss? I won't tell if you won't Metternich. And a Serbian prince has gone all Lionheart it seems.
