I am pretty sure that he means there are 600000 people living there today. In those days I bet it wasn't more than 100000 and probably quite a bit less. Does anyone know the circumstances of Sweden's control over this territory? Did they conquer it in a war or what?

Yeah, here It's pretty different, though.

California as God intended her.

This is a really good idea, I think I am going to do this. Thanks. At the beginning of the Reformation, the two churches will be very similar, however the Reformist Church is (surprise!) more receptive to reform. This won't stop the Catholic Church from changing, though, which I will get to in...

That was such a good timeline. I am pretty sure in TTL Venice will never amount to much of anything after the plague, kind of like OTL after Napoleon.

Oh! Oh! Pick me! India!

Oh, man, that's tough. So I guess the first one could start out "In light of the recent heretical activities...", and the second one could start out something like "Rome is under attack by heathens...". Anyone have any Latin that could work for that? This is someone's chance to play a joke on...

Actually, I don't speak Latin at all. I was just going from Wikipedia titles of other Papal Bulls (specifically Audita tremendi), and I assumed Audita meant something like "announcement", though I should have thought it through a bit more I guess. I guess I want to have Announcement of...

This is very good. I especially like the newspaper headlines. Is Britain going to take advantage the debt owed to it by the Ottoman Empire? Does Austria lose Bosnia?

A Pale Horse: The Reformist Wars, Part 1 The Reformation in 1533 Marinus of Pisa had been anointed Archbishop of Pisa in 1517, during the plague. During the plague, he displayed exceptional leadership and charity, and was one of the Republic’s most trusted advisors. The Republic of Pisa...

There's an in-progress TL about this already, it's called "5000 Years" I think. It's quite good.

This is quite interesting. A reformist Pope could derail the Reformation if he plays his cards right. This is the perfect time to do that.

Those terms seem very harsh. I can see the US losing territories, but states are a harder thing. I can see perhaps losing the Upper Peninsula, and northern Maine, but all of Maine, Wisconsin, and Michigan as well as a piece of New Hampshire seems very, very harsh. I understand the US is beaten...

I mean, obviously not, if it is empty when the Portuguese discover it. This TL requires multiple PODs to work (like Empty America) but it is a pretty interesting idea. I assume it will be settled by Europeans at some point, though not necessarily by the Portuguese. I have found information on...

Sorry, I don't really understand this question. Catholicism is undergoing a major support base shift that it didn't OTL because the Horse Plague shook the faith of those areas traditionally loyal. Colonization is also delayed a little (only a generation or so) because in most of Europe, the...

A Pale Horse: The Death of Pope Julius II Following the Horse Plague, the central authority of the Catholic Church virtually collapsed. The chaos and death in Rome rivaled that of Istanbul and Milan, and, when the dust settled, the Pope and many clergy were dead. Because of the general...

Political Map of Europe I've been working on this map on-and-off for about a week. I hope you like it, here is the first draft of the political map of Europe around 1530, about 15 years after the end of the plague. Europe is mostly stable at this point. Countries should be easy enough to...
