    No, they are more or less treated as OTL, there are very few thing they can reform, so its highly taxed, but so are Denmark and the German possessions.

    Interlude: Reforms and migrations. The Gray and the Red became the unofficial name of the Danish forces in the 18th century; the Gray especially had a reputation for being more afraid of their officers than any enemy, and being the last to flee from the battlefield.

  5. The Economic Spurt That Succeeded

    No, but the economic policies the Austrian Empire embraced at this point was big part in why it ended so badly, and it was a rather good argument in why the suffrage shouldn't be limited to income classes which the Austrian School economics give short term benefits.

  10. Germany without Soviet Occupation zone

    You may also see the Elb more or less end up as the East-West spit, so we have a DDR made up by Lower Silesia, Brandeburg, Pommern and Mecklenburg.

    Thanks Mirza, when looking at weather pattern and topography it didn't seem worse, except the mountain in the central part of the island, which seem to create a rain shadow in the central south.
