Does anyone know where the best deposits of Coal in countries that were predominantly Catholic in 1850 *other* than France? I'm trying to look at a scenario where Europe (and non-European Allies) go back to a somewhat Catholic/Protestant Divide after the Napoleonic Era and I'm trying to figure out if I *have* to have France on the Catholic side in order for the Catholic side not to be destroyed in the Era of Coal. I'd also like them to have a decent chance of being discovered/exploited.
