    Culture of Post-Colonial Japan

    I've never been to Japan, but I have been to Malaysia, Cambodia, and Vietnam. None of these places seem to have massive signs of European colonialism. The only thing that I remember clearly is that in Vietnamese, the word for "train station" is "ga" and comes from French "gare." Maybe you'd see...

    AHC: Four African Tigers

    Two suggestions from me are: 1. Tunisia. It grew quite quickly in the 1970s "but this proved unsustainable and [its growth rate] collapsed to a cumulative 10% growth in the turbulent eighties." The article also talks about its modest oil reserves compared to its neighbours, so maybe Tunisia...

    This is a beautiful map and I love the borders of the nations because they look very plausible. I especially like your contribution though, and what made me comment, is that thinking Sandy Point was an unusual and unlikely location for a capital city, I looked at Google Maps. I was pleasantly...

    WI: Britain Joins The Spanish-Portuguese War (1776)

    France and Spain are already supporting the Americans in their war against Britain during this time period, so I could maybe see the American War of Independence merging with this conflict. Regards, Northstar

    AHC/WI: French Brazil, Portuguese Canada

    I've just been reading through this entire thread and it's a very interesting debate. This is interesting. I know the canoe is mainly associated with Native Americans, but I've never really thought about it before; was there no equivalent of a canoe in European history? Or elsewhere in the...

    Does Czechoslovakia have two flags here? There are nine countries in the Ostpakt, but ten flags. Regards, Northstar

    This is awesome. Literally the only change I'd make is putting the flags in alphabetical order because the next comment was about Jambi's flag and I cannot for the life of me find it. Regards, Northstar

    Un Dios, Un Imperio, Un Rey | Alternate TL.

    Ah, vale. Es una pena porque me encantaría leerlo en español. Ah, OK. It's a shame because I'd love to read it in Spanish. Ahora estoy en Leganés pero volveré a trabajar en Logroño la semana que viene. I'm in Leganés now but will go back to work in Logroño next week! Regards, Northstar

    Un Dios, Un Imperio, Un Rey | Alternate TL.

    My attention has just been brought to this TL, alongside the fact that you're Spanish @Paladín Wulfen . At some point, I'd like to give it a read - when I have time - but I was wondering if you have a Spanish version of it? Regards, Northstar

    AHC: Bigger Hispanic America

    Right, so *some* people already claim that Portuguese is a poorly spoken dialect of Galician IOTL. No reason to think that *some* people won't claim that Portuguese is a poorly spoken dialect of Castellano ITTL. 😉 There's every chance - and I'd argue it would be very likely - that an Iberian...

    AHC: Bigger Hispanic America

    Exactly. I was just writing about that. Or at least Gallego/Galician. I'm actually going to be using an etymological approach with my 6th grade* students when I go back to school in October. Going to do some cool activities like a version of telephone, but written, and starting with a Latin...

    AHC: Bigger Hispanic America

    I'm saying that nowadays, the Spanish they speak in the New World is very different to the Spanish (Castellano) that they speak in Spain. My students here in Spain learn Castellano (Lengua Castellana). Many, many, words used by Spanish speakers outside of Spain are different to the ones they...

    AHC: Bigger Hispanic America

    The POD is both before the Iberian Union and the Anglo-Scottish Union. Having the former survive and the latter dissolve would definitely help, especially if it resulted in the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish weakening each other through infighting. With the British out of the picture, Iberia...
