Colonial Constituencies?

Every colony a seperate kingdom? That sounds a bit much to me.
Maybe group them into two or three.
Though if you're ISOTing (where does Britain come from? and shouldn't 1632ing be the proper term there since there's space teleporting too?) why not just directly add them to England.

My plan was to group them into 'New England', 'Nova Scotia', Florida etc.

New England would make sense, but Nova Scotia and Florida? Both are tiny and sparsely settled at this point. There was probably more people in New England than the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida combined...
 
Just curious as to what name the UK will go by.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and the Americas
United American Commonwealth (assuming the British would be okay with Britain being considered part of America.)

or something else really would like to know what your plan is.

Well, the title can still be the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Dominions Beyond the Seas. ;)

Bear in mind the POD is before the formation of the "United Kingdom" so that terminology is not certain. Upon union with Ireland, George III was also offerred "Empire of the British Isles" and "Empire of the British and Hannoverian Dominions", I believe. Also be aware that thinking of "America" as a single place is somewhat anachronistic: Virginia was not really considered to be the same place as Rhode Island.

So Perhaps the title of 'Empire of the British and American Dominions' then?
 
Not really, two kingdoms can be politically united, look at England and Scotland. I agree that at first they'll probably be Duchies, however in the future they'll try and be elevated to Kingdom status I suspect.
England and Scotland were two separate legal entities only sharing the same person as King. All institutions, such as Parliament, were separate until the Act of Union, after which there was only one kingdom.

Um, it wasn't me that said that!
 
Is there an acronym list anywhere? I was having trouble with "OP" (original premise?) on another thread, and now ISOT?

Island in the Sea Of Time. It refers to the eponymous alternate history book by S.M. Sterling. In the book, the Island of Nantucket is sent back in time to the year 1250 BC: thus, if something has been Island in the Sea Of Time'd, it's been sent back in time or moved.
