Might it just work better if we assume White forgot Jefferson City? There’s nothing on the site to suggest he planned to have a heresy in Missouri, and the usage of the term “State” puts it more in common with the Non-Denom states than with the New Israelites - I just don’t see a suggestion that...

I rather like the idea of St. Louis and Missouri being the heart of an evangelical heresy - that would give a lot of new meaning to the Dabneys allowing Memphis to restore St. Louis - almost a Latin Empire of Constantinople parallel.

Is there a canonical reason why Jefferson City, Missouri isn’t shown as a District Supervisor’s seat on the “East Map”? It’s in the borders of a Non-Denominational State and is a former state capital like the rest. Alternatively, might I make a suggestion to edit White’s original suppositions...

I had forgotten to check Canada - I see that there is then a fifth title available, "Dominion," which is only used to refer to a border state with Quebec.

Speaking of Royal titles, has there been any reason given for the titles of “Commonwealth” vs “State” and “County” in the east? I assume State and Commonwealth are reserved for former states, but is the implication that Commonwealth refers to nations which cover more than one former state (in...

Alright, having combed through that map, here's my revised population numbers: Mississippi Light Green (150k) - 14 full, 5 partial (added) (2,850,000) Yellow (75k) - 2 full, 1.5 partial (262,500) Purple (25k) - 2 partial (50,000) Total: 3,162,500 Red River Light Green (150k) - 12 full, 1.75...

Works for me, I'll put it in.

My instinct would be to make Colonel the replacement, but I don't see Mayor - its modern American connotation being the "ruler" of a city - fitting in a nation which explicitly has next to no cities. Alternatively, I could make Mayor the title of the not-Shogun, but given it's ubiquity in...

Like I said, I'm open to other suggestions.

Outside of general military use in both the US Navy and, when it existed, the Confederate Navy, it is commonly used to refer to the presidents of yacht clubs (giving it an aristocratic bent, for the aristocratic nature of the office), and was a nickname of Cornelius Vanderbilt and is used as the...

I was shooting for a southern-sounding military title, which brought Commodore to mind. I'd toyed with General, but that seemed like it would have a more general connotation. I'd be happy to take another suggestion, but I do think Commodore works in this situation. I really like the title Sons...

I definitely like it - mind if I put it at the top of my Mississippi post?

I've edited my Mississippi post to tone down the republican elements I had (the Commodore of Mississippi now functions as a Shogun-analogue with a largely figurehead Governor), as well as make it a bit easier to read. I've quoted some of the major changes below.

I would love one! I’m on mobile at work right now, but if there’s one you can put up that’d be great!

I was shooting for something akin to the Holy Roman Empire; would crystallizing which families get votes to make it a more exclusive, aristocratic club work, or should I wholesale change it to a de facto hereditary system?

The Commonwealth of Mississippi ( flag courtesy of @tehskyman ) System of Government: Feudal Monarchy (de jure), Pseudo-Elective Military Dictatorship (de facto) Selection of Leaders: The House of Maddox rules from Jackson, along with the District Supervisor, as Governors of Mississippi. In...

Just had my first character get sainted - King Guihelm I of Corsica and Sardinia (I only managed to get the Kingdom of Burgundy when his granddaughter inherited). He ruled for 72 years, having inherited the Duchy of Provence at 5, took part personally in the First and Second Crusades, even...

The Imperial Navy of the Komnenians was not the Imperial Navy that stopped the two Arab Sieges, and the Mongols gaining enough local superiority to force a siege - particularly if they employed allies like the Bulgarians, Venetians, Genovese, basically anyone with a beef with Constantinople - is...

Assuming a post-Manzikert Byzantine recovery of Asia Minor, any lasting rule would require significant cooperation with a Turkish populace in inner Asia Minor on Constantinople’s part. At best, this means that the Byzantines will have Turkish auxiliaries to call upon against the Mongols, while...
