There was this portuguese fellow who was a cardinal and next in line to the portuguese throne, as Sebastião I had no heirs. In OTL Sebastião went crusading in North Africa and died, so this guy became king. If we had a POD some years before his ascension to the portuguese throne we could have...

Assuming he didn't fabricate this information, there were chinese indentured servants in Peru in the 19th century, and estimates say that 20% of the peruvian population has some chinese ancestry. Although i'll admit, i'm not so sure what's "too ancient" or "too recent" in genetic history :o...

Well, they would have to have an interest in fighting terror and Iraq. [/captainobvious] Perhaps having something like 9/11 for India in the noughties, like 9/11 in the sense of something as traumatizing for India as 9/11 was for the U.S.? Does anyone know of a major terrorist attack in India...

Ah, that AH with the aliens in WW2, right? Brain fart, i didn't associate the name with the TL. :o I've surely heard of it, but i've never read it.

Huh... The light brown areas are a big blobby empire or wastelands/areas you haven't mapped yet?

Yes, or have them fighting with the Central Powers and be invaded by the Entente. Not sure if that'd be possible, though.

Maybe it's something with my monitor, but Iceland and Greenland seem to be in a lighter shade of blue.

So Iceland seceded and dragged Greenland away with it? Interesting.

State as in an independent nation and not an american state, right?

They did. So did Aragon. IIRC if your capital is in another continent your colonies go by names like "French North America", but if you change your capital to the colonies they appear simply as "France" on the map. Also, by the color of it, it seems Cuba is controlled by Norway.

That'd be... Naples.

You know, it kinda looks like the woman holding the child on the boat has a horn. The piece of shrapnel next to her head could be a second, bigger horn or something. And now you can't unsee it. Just out of curiosity, what's the origin of this image? It seems to me that you made an L out of...

Makes sense. As said above, i suppose that they'd flee first to Canada or something.

It has to emerge from OTL's Britain... Hm... Not sure if that'd be cheating, but we could have a coup in mainland Britain (or an invasion) that makes the monarchy reestablish itself in India, in a Portugal-fleeing-Napoleon way. Said british rump empire goes on to reconquer Britannia in the...

But it's their anthem! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F43DqnMoWi0

Oh well, i thought it was probably ASB. I see. On that last line... "We are friends with Cuba. We have always been friends with Cuba."

*Estado. Wouldn't be that wrong if you were to write european portuguese phonetically though, as they pronounce it like "Sh-tado"... Interesting. 1974 was the year Geisel was "elected", so if he wouldn't accept it (i honestly have no idea how he'd act) we could have someone else being...

One wonders if some muslim nation(s) separating themselves from this united India would trigger separatist movements in other regions of India. Could we have a balkanized India by today?

Indeed they look like so, actually i was thinking about the colours and how the laurel on the flag of the soldier looks like the "Ordem e Progresso" ribbon.

Looks brazilian and fascist at the same time. TTL Plínio Salgado immigrated to Virginia? :p
