    AHC: Independent New England Defeats Old England in a War, as Early as Possible

    Here’s a fun one. What scenario would allow New England, the geographic area to (a) become an independent state called “New England” and (b) *as early as possible* defeat England/Britain/UK/etc. in a war. Bonus points if New England, the area or the state, is somehow central to the conflict...

    Map Thread XXII

    A different French Revolution meant that France ended up with Louisiana as well as other Spanish colonies like Santo Domingo (Cuba was acquired later). However, with further internal turmoil in France and an attempt to reimpose slavery in the colonies, sometime in the late ninteenth century the...

    As I sit in holy contemplation 'neath th'old dogwood tree, A melody of liberty the angels doth sing to me; The hevn'ly host cries out for glory, honor and liberty— For Virginia do we sing! Oh, Glory, glory, hallelujah! And, Glory, glory, to Virginia! Glory, glory, hallelujah! For freedom do we...

    Peach Wine and Those Who Drink It: An Independent Georgia, 200 Years Later I'm too busy with school to really be doing any alt history writing (sorry to those waiting on an update to my timeline), but I did have time today for a quick little map series to scratch the itch. ITTL, the United...

    The Eagle and the Bear (Or, What if Paul I Survived?)

    Interesting! I was mostly going off of what i could find around on the Russian economy during OTL’s Continental System, which there’s surprisingly little information about outside of the types of books you have to buy haha. I’ll take this into account and maybe revise a bit— what I was trying to...

    Your ideas for alt-metal ages

    Speaking of the copper in the Gila valley, are there any tin deposits in the North American region in trading range? Wondering if bronze is a possibility.

    Map Thread XXI

    Not to enter into too much argument on the map thread (the thread for posting maps), but i don’t think it makes sense from geography alone that Europe would “dominate India.” That disagreement seems to demonstrate the problem with determinism pretty succinctly, actually.

    Map Thread XXI

    Kinda, in that it has some religious elements and is stemming from many of the same problems. But it’s pretty different in structure, much more loosely-organized and conciliatory towards local interests and less strict about its millenarian undertones while the revolution is ongoing. It’s very...

    Nothing to see here, just more procrastinating my timeline with cute little mini-maps! A little snapshot into the "Shining Revolution," in which a charismatic peasant leader declares himself the Maitreya Buddha and leads a millenarian revolt to seize the throne of China. (Like pretty much...

    A bunch of (mostly) French-and/or-English-speaking homesteaders and smallholders, mostly fairly recent immigrants, revolting for greater autonomy like everyone else, just for their own reasons. They’re not too keen on the whole “Astlan” thing due to the fact that they actually like many of the...

    For once, pretty self-explanatory I think! Just a little mini-map with some cute little mini-flags.

    Flag Thread V

    Check Map Thread, haha. It's some of the southwestern US states, but also California, much of the Rockies, and some Native American territories at its absolute height near the start of the revolt. The map in the Map Thread isn't representative of what's described in this write-up, though. They...

    The flag of the Federal Republic of Astlan (or, in the UK and Scotland, Aslan). This popular-republican revolt in the Empire of New Spain's northern territories was a symptom of the ailing empire's early-twentieth century "federales" period, named for the guerillas federales that plagued its...

    Denmark signed a twelve-week truce after Copenhagen, and needs all that time and more. In the long term, assuming a drawn-out conflict, they may or may not enter in. In the short term, they’re pretty much out of the picture.

    Nothing For Which to Apologize: Ambition and Loathing in the New South

    Yeah, Katrina wiped a lot of stuff out for sure. But if you’re ever by Biloxi and need a fancy place for an event, I can’t recommend Mary Mahoney’s enough. :)

    Thanks! :) I have no clue as to that first point. I was honestly wondering the same thing myself, but every source seemed adamant that he planned to engage… somehow. As to the second, ITTL the ambassador situation is obviously quite a bit different, and you are correct as to Paul freezing...

    Not "man," but it's all good, that's usually a safe assumption here lol ;) And yeah, you know the First Consul would like to see news like this. As far as I'm aware, William knew about the affair and kept a blind eye. He was also a 70 year old man and not looking the healthiest. I think Emma...
