Does anybody have a particular question or wants something in particular made or explained? Any criticism?
Certainly more diverse than in OTL! What do you want to know specifically?
Actually, this is not the case.
From TTLs perspective - especially from a perspective beyond the Channel - one might see it as totalitarian, however, from OTLs perspective, it would be a perfectly democratic state.
So, is Red America preety hardline in their communism or are they more modern China types, if more democratic?
American Polycratic Union
Name: American Polycratic Union
Common name: America, Red America, APU
Capital: Amore City
Largest City: London (London, Ontario)
Official languages: de jure none, de facto English
Languages: English is the most spoken language. French is rather widespread in the western states, along with some Spanish. German, Portuguese, Italian, Nordic languages,... are spoken, as well as most other languages. In a few rather remote areas of the west, Native American languages prevail.
Religions: Most people are rather irreligious, though many still consider themselves Christians. Anglicanism, Puritanism and Presbyteranianism are somewhat widespread, at least in rural areas. Other religions are followed, though rarely.
Government: Confederal Polycracy (confederation of Agrotocracies and Ergatocracies). Every state is an ergatocracy or an agrotocracy, meaning that either unions of workers or unions of farmers dominate in the state assembly. In war times or when veterans "take over", a state can become a stratocracy. The national government is formed by elected State Masters in a conference
Master of Workers and Peasants: Devante Ceannt (Miners-NC)
Legislature: Unicameral, composed of directly elected state representatives.
Formation: July Revolution 1915, end of the civil war August 24, 1920.
Population: 404,873,000
GDP PPP per capita: $75,952
Gini: 21.28

Does this mean farm workers? This would make more sense than land owners farmers.
@Ferd42 , I basically mean landless farmers/peasants or peasants who are ruthlessly exploited in other countries. Something like the MST in Brazil.
An interesting question. You can imagine it a bit like Dawkins made into a (pseudo-)religious belief system: Man himself is God, and is to be revered as such. The moral codex of man stems from man's basic equality and basic desires of man (life, liberty, freedom etc.)
And it is the equivalent in TTL to OTL Cult of Reason, though it is by far not as insane and has (at least on itself) never led to terror regimes.

- In the dark green states, the people and only the people are and determine the sovereign.
- In green states, the people mostly are and determine the sovereign, but either other factors play a rule as well, or issues with Rights of Man or other, but amendable, issues are present.
- In lighter green states, the people are co-sovereign with other factors and/or co-determine the sovereign. Issues with Rights of Man can, but need not be present.
- In yellow states, people can, at least in theory, be or determine the sovereign, but other factors are at least as or more determining.
- In orange states, only some people can be or determine the sovereign.
- In red states, a single sovereign rules the people, mostly a King. Often, a deity is the nominal sovereign here. The sovereign is in most cases determined by birth.
- In pink states, the people are oppressed by a tyrant or at the mercy of strongmen, warlords etc.

Depends on how the "constitutional" part of it is determined. OTL democratic consitutional monarchies (UK, Sweden, Netherlands etc.) would be dark green.

Hey @SaveAtlacamani i have a problem with the map of yours. Almost all of your borders are just OTL borders or just OTL provincial borders switched around. In an ATL, that is highly unlikely. SO, would you mind if I changed around some of the borders?
