United Canada is still mean to its natives but for some reason they don't rebel because they get autonomy. A shame, seeing how rich the Boreal Confederation is OTL.
It's like the author didn't know much Latin American history so rather than actually research it he pretended it didn't exist. The same thing exists for Africa, TBH; having the Sokoto Caliphate collapse for no reason was foolishness, as was having the Ethiopian Empire randomly collapse.
I will admit, even if it was a bit lazy, the colonial-wank in Africa was interesting. The invasion of Ethiopia was bad, though. Italy was even considered weak in the timeline.
