If you need I can translate the content as well, though some of it requires or admits of no translation.
Also, a question I'd like to see addressed; while you've stated that Russia was the inspiration for the Reich's economy, it seems likely that it would be distributed differently. A simple GDP per capita figure covers a lot of ground. For instance, I've frequently described China as a Third World country of 900 million surrounding a upper-middle income country of 450 million. Russia, using the same terms, could more or less be called two First World countries attached to the west end of a middle income country.
What does Germany look like in this regard? How does wealth break down between Old Germany, its Western satellites, the nearer portions of its "living space", and the old USSR?
No, the idea that Chinese is the second international language of travel so it replaced French on British passports.

Good question/bad timing. Don't have time to answer in depth, but I'll think about it while I'm out. Rough idea - Old Germany + Austria is at the top in general, with Scandinavia and the Low Countries a little below, Warthegau, West Prussia + Czechslovakia in the middle, and the East (USSR, General Government Poland, etc) lagging. There are exceptions, of course - there's a poor industrial working class in the Rhineland, Silesia, etc. and a small, wealthy population in the East (people like Sibylle and the Krupp factory manager from the last story).

Figured as much, but worth checking.
Sounds good. I await a more in-depth post but that checks with what I had imagined.

Okay, things matched. I do wonder why we're using simplified when it should be traditional.
-Varyar you named a Princess Mary and Lord Barchester. The "Born after 1940 you don't exist" rule in effect for the British as well? Did you butterfly away Elizabeth marrying Prince Philip and their children?
- who are the Pretenders to the throne?
-Something I would like to see explored is what is going on with the descendants of the original Nazi Leaders. For example
In this timeline Magda Goebbels obviously did not poison her children in the Fuhrerbunker. Are the Goebbels grandchildren basically Nazi royalty now? Did Gudrun Himmler give her Pappa
a bunch of Aryan grandchildren? It would be interesting to have Therese casually mention a Speer, Goering etc.

More later, for now preliminary list of royals, open to suggestions (esp. for spouses and Andrew's children) and corrections. Names matching OTL /= people are the same.
QUEEN ELIZABETH II + PRINCE PHILIP
Princess Caroline (b 1948)
- Princess Mary (b 1980)
-- Princess Martha (b 2017)
- Prince William (b 1985)
-- Prince Albert (b 2016)
- Prince John (b 1989)
Prince Charles (b 1951)
- Prince William (b 1985)
- Princess Georgina (b 1989)
Prince Andrew (b 1955)
Okay I see you changed the birth order with Charles having an older sister and no Anne or Edward. Interesting!

If you look at the other thread, you'll note that ROC is one of the superpowers.

Other thread? So the varyar had little helpers? I double checked first page... there are no obvious links, and nazi victory is somewhat a cliche of alternative history, so there are dozens of threads about it in depths of the forum. Which one in particular do you mean.
'The varyar' - I like that.
Anyway, there are two earlier stories in this setting.1) All Quiet on the Eastern Front: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/all-quiet-on-the-eastern-front.408168/
2) From the Atlantic to the Urals: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/ah-vignette-from-the-atlantic-to-the-urals.411095/
Enjoy!
None of us do! BUT THEN WHO'S WRITING THIS?
ah-hem. Sane, regular update(s) to come tomorrow.
Evidently the internet has links to alternate universes. So this has drifted over from another.
Speaking of the British royal family, I have a question. If, as in this timeline, the first in line to the throne is a woman, would she be both Princess Royal *and* Princess of Wales? Wikipedia (I know, I know, that's why I'm asking) suggests she would, but the next title in OTL, Duke of York, seems to automatically go to *second* sons. So what if the monarch had a daughter, son and son? (e.g. Caroline, Charles, Andrew) What title would this alternate Charles get? Help!
