This is very unrealistic but very interesting, also I love that you've made Tilda Swinton Queen of the UK
ITTL the Mountbatten name was created by the 2nd Duchess, Princess Caroline Windsor de Mountbatten, in the 1940s (although it was an idea even in her parents' heads since the 1930s, when she and her sibling chose to "naturalize" their paternal surname both in a simple desire to do so and to differentiate themselves from their Albany cousins.1) How was the Mountbatten name created TTL (as Albion and Germany fought on the same side during WW1)?
Oh yes, mainly through the idea being considered fringe even at the time of its proposal, because the person offered declined on its early stages or through unfortunatte happenstance. For example:2) Have there been any proposed Imperial Kingdoms that didn't happen?
Because I needed to update it, now it should appear (although the Dynasties map still needs me to do a more thorough revision so It shouldn't appear there for a bit yet)3) Why isn't Carniola featured on the map?
An ITTL Duke of Brunswick, as the House of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel didn't become extinct in 1884 and instead continued, with said duke gaining the throne of Tuvalu when the country (originally a French colony, then a German) became independent (the Duchy of Brunswick passing to his third cousin and brother-in-law as he abdicated his right to it to become king)4) Who is the ancestor of the Tuvaluan monarchy?
Yes, in a sense, they're more like condominiums between Moravia and Silesia who are also in a manner ruled by five other branches of the House of Hapsburg (so they could be also considered small states within the two, who are also within the greater UHE)5) Does Moravia have any exclaves?
She's her aunt, actually6) Is Astrid, Nordic Empress sister of Beatrix of the Netherlands?
It isn't, Galapagos is a Crown Dependency7) How did the Galapagos became a independent country?
He died in a train accident (no-kidding, he actually died due to his train suffering a catastrophic derailment while on a visit to Belgium)8) Why was Maximilian II of Mexico's reign so short?
It is Doris, renamed in the 80s as a compromise@Peppe still hasn't answered the most important question; is it Derry or Londonderry?
Archduchess Christina married King Vladimir I of Romania, Maria I's sonWhat Romanian monarch did Archduchess Christina of Austria marry?
Oh, very-much yes.Are there other royal houses that changed their names like what the Ablish did with Saxe-Coburg and Gotha/Windsor?
ITTL the colonization of Liberia with freed people of color was less-successful both in gathering interest in America and in surving in Africa, with the result being that much less people settled on the region (which also had some effects on population numbers on America) and the settler states that were created either died-out due to disease (or terrible relations with local inhabitants) or were annexed by the Germans when the 19th century neared its end (with the most successful of those states, the Republic of Maryland, being the only one to survive in any political sense, "continuing" as the "Free City of Harpour", a state within the German Pepper Coast, while the region itself still has a minority population descended from American settlers).How did Liberia ceased to exist?
No, although for the matters around Judith's title it was never actually ended (technically speaking all provinces of Ethiopia have a nominal "Negus", which is translated as "King" or "Queen", and Shewa, in specific, is a province whose "royal title" is traditionally tied to the positon of Emperor, since Menelik II was King of Shewa before becoming emperor)Has the Kingdom of Shewa been recreated for Judith, daughter of Menelik III of Ethiopia?
Yesn'tDid the Malian Bonapartes convert to Islam upon the creation of the Malian Caliphate in 1948?
A blurrying of religious lines on the Balkans caused by the Islamic Reformation, Europe's continuously-expanding thumbleweed of a royal family tree (thanks Vicky!) and post-WWII concessions to muslim partisansHow did the House of Muhammad Ali get to rule a European country?
Outside dear old Albion?Are there any countries that make the HRE look like paragons of simplicity?
So only some of the Malian Bonapartes converted to Islam then?Yesn't
Oh, there are (these last two months have seen me work a bit too-much on maps, since after deciding to update the dynasties and governments map I ended-up on a rabbit hole of re-updating the world map, which has seen some added complexity not-yet shown on the thread when I started developing some areas)If there are any.
It's more on the lines of: A turn to Islam was already occurring before the caliphate was created and by the time any offical conversion occured the drawn-out process by which said turn occured meant that the Malian Bonapartes' belief was a mix between Maliki Islam, Folk Religion and Roman CatholicismSo only some of the Malian Bonapartes converted to Islam then?
Very much yes, in fact, I would go so far as call Oleg and his wife (Princess Maria Bagration-Mukhraneli) a competed version of OTL Nicholas II and Alix, since they were co-monarchs in all but name with Maria dealing with the "civilian" part of the monarchy while Oleg served as the Supreme Commander of the Ukrainian military (one of his nicknames being The Marshall King).Did Oleg of Ukraine lead his country’s army post WW1?
If we assume "Western World" to comprehend Europe and the Americas, there are a few (I'm not going into Australasia and parts of countries outside of Europe or the Americas mainly to save myself some work, since Oceania alone has quite a few elective or elective&hereditary monarchies, many of them in states within European countries*):Are there any elective monarchies in the western world besides Patagonia?
Yes, Victoria opened the 1904 Summer Olympics in LondonDid Victoria ever open any Olympics?
Numbers aren't exact but from 2000 to 2014, the most watched royal wedding in history was that of Cedric, future Prince of Wales, to Grand Duchess Anastasia of Finland. He then "beat" his own record in 2014 with his marriage to Khanyisile SteenkampWhat's the most watched royal wedding?
Well, yes, but, much like OTL, they are very few, since the longest of the Dutch ones is Dowager Princess Marie Louise's wopping combined 25-ish years and at some point regencies that get that long stop being actual regencies.Are there any regencies that lasted longer than the Dutch ones?
Yes, in fact the first Czarina of Finland was a Hessian princessHave any members of the House of Hesse marry into the Finnish royal family?
Well, at the moment I have finished the updated world map but haven't yet finished updating the maps for supranational entities, dynasties and forms of government (I could have been farther ahead on it but I ended-up entering a rabbit hole about phantom islands and spent two days creating a variation of the world's map with said islands added to it*). But nonetheless I'm hoping to finish them soonWhen are the updated versions of the maps coming out? And will the old versions be still available to view as well?
Although the longest-reigning still-alive monarch, Victoria II of Sierra Leone loses to quite a few in the list of "oldest female monarchs" (some of whom have already appeared on the TL, like Elizabeth II of the Straits, Mary III of Berar, and Empress Isabel of Brazil)Who is the oldest female monarch (excluding Victoria II of Sierra Leone)?
No, ITTL while the Grimaldis have had a colorful history, they didn't have any succession crisis since the main POD, although it nearly happened once or twice (much like OTL).Did Monaco have a succession crisis?
Yes, all fraternal. Edward and Albert, due to timing, were actually born on different daysAre Leonard of Albion, Edward X of Lower Burma, and Albert of the Straits triplets?
The branch of the Hohenzollerns of Guangzhouwan are descended from the youngest of the three sons of Eric VI of Saxe-Lauenburg, Heinrich, being also the oldest cadet branch of the "Imperial Hohenzollerns" after the Saxe-Lauenburgs and the one to marry non-europeans (as Heinrich's grandson, who was actually born in Guangzhouwan, married a chinese noblewoman)Who is the ancestor of Guangzhouwan's monarchy?
Well, that's an interesting question.Are there any fiefdoms in Canada?
Marie married to Sultan Abdelaziz, who was only a few months her senior. The union was actually a bit of a scandal at the time, as they met in a coincidence while visiting Tangier in 1896, and eloped after knowing each other for about three weeks.Which Moroccan Sultan did Marie of Edinburgh marry?
Which Abdulmejid II of Adakale?Did Abdulmejid II of Adakale abdicate?
Well, besides the branch who rules Liechtenstein, the family has a few branches who are known outside of their involvement with Liechtenstein:Are there any notable branches of the House of Liechtenstein?
Poland doesn't have any exclaves, although it does have a "special relation" with Poznan-West Prussia that makes the viceroyalty almost a "pseudo-condominium" between Poland and GermanyDoes Poland have any exclaves?
The Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and the Dukes of ArenbergDo any male-line descendants of the House of Windsor rule territory in Germany?
Sincerely? Probably December 2020 ITTLWhen was the most recent time that a monarch lead their country's army into battle?
Yes, much in the same way as OTL Olympics, during the world warsWere the Olympics ever canceled or delayed?
The current Prince's mother is a great-granddaughter of Victoria, being the youngest child of the 10th Duke of DevonshireHow does the Prince of Monaco descend from Victoria?
Bavaria and the Palatinate firstly gained separate rulers during the early 20th century, but at the time the Palatinate was considered a "secundogeniture" of Bavaria given to a Bavarian prince who converted and married into the Prussian Hohenzollerns and as such was still seen as a part of Bavaria, the two only officially became separate in the later half of the century with the reestructuring of Germany's internal bordersWhen did the Palatinate gain it’s own monarchy separate from Bavaria?
