The Northern Company Established: March 16, 1964 Headquarters: Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada Divisions: - Northern Marine (ocean transport) - Northern Logistics (road and rail operations) - Nunavut Mining Corporation (mines) - Inuit Artists (artist co-ops) One of the many companies created as a...

I think I have a good one, again from repurposing an existing company from the TheMann Universe.... 🙂 Pacific Truck and Engineering Established: August 6, 1947 Headquarters: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Divisions: - Pacific Trucks (trucks and commercial vehicles) - Pacific...

I had that thought too, but I'm not sure the West Indies Federation could ever work, namely because of the problems with the smaller islands being overwhelmed by the bigger ones. (This is what killed it IOTL.) The bigger islands didn't want to pay the freight for the smaller ones and the smaller...

The railroads will all be crossing over the same passes in any case, so OTL isn't likely to be much different.

I agree, but in all likelihood WWII would have gone considerably differently if the Empire was indeed united. All of the Dominions were involved but most of them rather neglected their armed forces during the Depression, and here that's unlikely to have happened here, particularly the naval...

So, in my idea above we have for the Empire the following Dominions that are part of it: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - As OTL Ireland - As OTL (letting Irish independence make headway before WWI and thus avoid the violence of Easter Rising and later would be hugely...

Thank You for the compliment. 🙂 I think confronting such attitudes is best done through the explanation of what can be done, but that's for another thread. A thought that occurs to me here - since we've already more or less established that any government is going to have the possibility...

It most certainly is not an exclusively British disease....or Commonwealth one. Remember that Blockbuster had the opportunity to buy Netflix for peanuts. Yeah, I'm sure of they had known they'd have done it and been accepting of any early losses, knowing what was to come. IMO, as the Empire in...

Or how about all of the above, force the Americans to catch up? 🙂 If Jobs goes to the Empire some place he probably doesn't meet Steve Wozniak, who was perhaps more key to the beginnings of Apple than Jobs was as he actually could (and did) design the original Apple products. Perhaps Jobs...

I'm more or less in agreement with @ArtosStark as there really isn't a lot of point to a flashy organization when what you're doing is meant to be secretive. Beyond that point, I would imagine this world probably would have internet rather sooner, at least as soon as commercially-available...

And what of a four-car team, with an ace customer team? 🙂

With Villeneuve, Cicote and the Greens, with a Goodyear-shod Reynard with Porsche power, funded by Players money? We'll see about that one! What you've got there is perhaps the best single-car combination you could have. And it won't be a single car for long, either. Greg Moore and Patrick...

So, I've got Jacques Villeneuve as a driver, the white and blue Players car and Porsche power in a Reynard chassis. Nice. 👍 I'll probably also have gotten help from Pfaff Performance (the big-time Porsche dealer in Toronto and a current OTL IMSA competitor) and some secondary sponsors. And...

I'm not sure I would say the special relationship is an embarassment at all, if anything it can be seen as a distinct advantage in normal times and can (and has) allowed Britain to engage in diplomatic and economic pursuits they otherwise almost certainly couldn't have. It may not be one of...

The Lost Ones Series (2014-2022) - The Lost Ones: Genesis - The Lost Ones: Dark Hearts - The Lost Ones: Ascension - The Lost Ones: Believe Across a world of wealth, beauty, strength and vision, a great struggle between rival societies brews underneath, combining the unimaginable powers born...

Following on what has been said earlier in the thread, the next question I'd ask is, absent a particular POD, what portions of the Empire would be part of the Imperial Parliament? I think it's obvious that the UK and the White Dominions would be a part of it, bringing in Canada, Australia, New...

I can understand the idea of nationalism as well as anyone, but at the same time if it means withdrawing into one's own castle it to me seems counterproductive. Why wouldn't you want to expand your horizons? I'm kind of of two minds on the whole "British" thing. Yes, the British did build said...

Truthfully, I had a bit of a shift in politics, as Attlee's Labour Party only lasted one term in office and as Pearson's Liberals were the successors to Eden's Conservatives, the Labour Party felt that the Attlee-led Labour was too conservative for the tastes of the Empire, whereas the Pearson...

As far as what the leaders would be would depend on not so much what the structure of the Parliament is, but what the objective is. If you're oging to make any sort of Imperial Parliament work, you must - I repeat, MUST - make it very worthwhile for the Dominions to be willing to give up...

That would be a VERY interesting list indeed, particularly for the many different backgrounds and ancestries of the people involved. We must here be limiting ourselves to the "White Dominions" I'm guessing, but what if that also results in territorials transfers as a result? As you say India is...
