Spray-on cheese is the shortest answer to the question: "what is American food?"

Hmmm... not in my world. Here, American food means things like pot roast, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, jambalaya, pizza, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, spaghetti, burritos, general tzo's chicken, and a whole bunch of other things. Spray-on cheese is only used by college students who can't afford real cheese. :)

World War Seven, 1999-2002.

You've had seven world wars in the space of a century? Must be some crazy militaristic society you have. Can your world even boast one billion people in total, because those world wars must surely by now have knocked off at least 50% of the world's population in civilian deaths, and then you have to add into account all the people OTL not born because their parents and grandparents were killed before they could ever come into being. There should be some hugely depopulated areas in your world...

Alright, I'll put in some more straight-up questions, for sheer curiosity's sake (I don't usually go in for these things but you pressed my buttons with hopes of an extended-life British Empire and a dominant football in the sporting world):

What was the driving force behind decolonialism in your world? (referring to your comment about Virginia ceasing to be a colony)
What is the largest empire in terms of area to have existed in your world, and when was it's peak?
Who won the World Cup this year? And have they banned vuvuzelas yet?

We do not have that.

Probably under different names.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Good luck!

The Eastern Roman Empire, tenth economically, has about 100 million people, and controls everything you call Turkey and parts of the Balkans.
The Holy Roman Empire was renamed Germany during the revolution of 1966.
Yes from tsar to gravity.
King Harold XI of England began his reign at age 12 in 1935, and he continues to rule today. About 30 republics, and another 30 religious republics.
The colonies south of the Ohio got their independence in the 1990s, because of revolutions. (Pennsylvania's was bloodless.)

Tombaugh, Ceres, Uranus.
Quite a bit.

You've reconciled quantum mechanics with general relativity! Holy cow (OOC: don't worry, I won't make you explain how you managed it:D). So do you have quantum computers, inter-dimensional travel (I suppose you do as I'm talking to you) or faster than light technology? Have there been missions beyond the Kuiper Belt?

Who won the World Cup this year? And have they banned vuvuzelas yet?
The second, third, and fifth world wars didn't really do much, and the fourth was almost exclusively fought in Europe. And the global population is about four billion.
Mostly people getting tired of colonial rule, and Europe getting increasingly inept at ruling.

Sorry. We haven't done that. My mistake.

Finland, along with all of Scandinavia (except Denmark, which is part of Germany), was part of Russia until each country declared its independence in 1983. Norway, Sweden, and Iceland have since united to form the Scandinavian Union, but Finland stayed out.
Europe is entirely peaceful except for a few wars in Poland.
