A continuation of my current project, it's now 1930, twenty years after the last.
As a note, while the Industrial Revolution occurred in the 1850's, do to the 'Rise' technology has developed at a different rate, while some technology is
more or less at OTL levels others are behind and a few are ahead.
Overall the world is about a century behind and certain ideas that developed OTL either have'nt or have developed differently, thus colonization will likely
last well into the 20th century.
Summary;
The colonization of the world has continued on more or less normally the last twenty years, however with the French and Italian escapades into Western Asia and
the beginning of settlements on Austrilisia (Australia) have started a new phase in colonization and exploration.
The Hindustani Empire is on its last legs, weakened from decades of internal unrest and periodic revolts and an overall never really united political system.
The Iberian Union has, as normal continued its colonization in South America, however the viceroyalty's have been given the responsibility and chance to decide
their own colonization plans to some degree.
In Africa a new colony, 'Colónia Sáhara' comprising the newly acquired territory South of New Granada.
In Asia exploratory trips from the Fernando islands (Fiji's) have resulted in the colonization of the 'Islas de San Salvadore' (New Hebrides), the 'Islas Isabela' (New Caledonia),
'Islas del Sur' (remnant of the Auckland peninsula) and the 'Colónia de Nova Mérida' (small part of North-East Australia).
The political landscape of Iberia has changed as well with the adoption of a new constitution creating a Federated structure and merging the two Iberian crowns into
a single (constitutional) monarchy.
France has continued it colonization efforts in all its areas of influence.
In North America French America has been expanded somewhat, with the Western borders of the previous Western provinces being finalized and the new territory
forming the beginning of three new provinces.
In Africa the colony of Mauretania has been expanded.
In Asia France has taken over the Île de Étienne, a sparsely populated island previously claimed by the Hindustani Empire.
While France continues to look East towards Asia their are growing calls among the populace of French America for (peaceful) secession.
The UK has continued colonization, though at a more normal rate than before.
In North America the UK has continued South, increasing the size of its holdings. A new provincial border has also been established between the provinces of
New Vinland and Gothia.
In Africa the UKs newest colony has been expanded East. After confusion over their shared border the UK and Iberia have established a concrete border,
resulting in some slight land gains for the UK.
Following the stories of the riches and possibilities of the East the UK has sent diplomatic contacts to Japan for permission to send exploratory trips through
the Kitano straight.
The Kalmar Union has continued its exploration and colonization.
In North America the Nordholm colony has more than doubled in size.
In Africa all of the colonies have grown to varying extents, however with interest being primarily in the Northern circle and the main southern hemisphere routes
being in the South the East Africa colony has expanded very little.
In Eurasia the Nýrland colony has expanded somewhat, primarily along the coasts.
In Asia after exploratory missions from the Sigurd islands landed on Austrilisia (Australia) the colony of Stórrland (around 120 mi. south of Perth).
The Republic of Rus' has expanded more than normal, not only expanding East on the continent but buying Kazir island from Persia.
The Japanese Empire has all but stopped its expansion in North America and focused primarily on expanding in Asia, particularly following several Mongol raids
on the frontier regions.
Italia has continued its colonization and expanding its area of influence.
In Africa the Libyan and Tripolian colonies have both been expanded while the Aetheria peninsula colony has been doubled after Italia used 'hard diplomacy' with Ethiopia.
In Asia Italia has managed to gain a small, but good sized area of South-East Persia through a mixture of money and allying with them.
Several native states have expanded, most noticeably the Ohlone Confederacy.
