DBWI: No "Dominion of North America"

Its known that the Dominion of North America stretched from from the Atlantic to the Pacific all the way to the Arctic and was the "granddaddy" of all of the British Dominions.

Yet during the process of the formation, their was strong opposition from representatives from different colonies who wanted their colonies to be their own dominions instead of being united as one giant nation.

It is widely thought about by North Americans today if "What if" their country was instead divided into separate dominions. I myself think about this once in a while...

So what if the Dominion of North America is not formed and during the North American Confederation, the respective colonies of North America instead formed their own dominions?

OOC: So in this case North American Confederation in this DBWI replaces the Canadian Confederation in which the North American colonies are in the process of unification. In this DBWI OTL Canada is united with a OTL United States of America on July 1, 1867 and the other colonies of OTL Canada become a part of the D.N.A. (Edit: Referring to the ones that later joined the Canadian Confederation) Bear in mind Alaska is a part of the Dominion of North America. Also just as a reminder, Hawaii was not a part of OTL America yet.

Maybe the Empire would still be British....

Jokes aside, it's true. Most everything is run by the Americans, London got replaced by (NAME) years ago and is capital in name and cermony only. The British Isles are still important, but are really second rate next to North America and India.

Oh definitely, especially after the King fled to North America when the monarchy fell, and North American soldiers restored said monarchy. Why do you think UKIP exists? The UK is a puppet of North America.

In all honesty they should just make Pendragon the official capital, the Emperor, government, and the high courts are all reside there. London hasn't been anything but the regional administration center for the British Isles for more than a century and a half.

OOC: Pendragon is located all around OTL Tampa Bay.

Bah! The UKIP is made up of the descendants of Frenchmen who moved to the islands after more than half of the population fled to North America to join the king. The only reason they even have a presence in the Parliament of the Isles is because it took the Imperial Government a half century to get around to reclaiming the Islands from the French puppet government, they were to busy conquering the rest of the Americas.

In all honesty though, I think very little would change without the Dominion of North America, as all of the smaller Dominion's that would arise out of the North American Confederation would still have roughly the same amount of representation in the Imperial Parliament, similar to how the various Dominion's in Central and South America operate. I think that the Dominion of North America was created because the government was determined to make it the new center of the Empire.

Indeed, I see it as a decision from the lawmakers back then to solidify an empire into a hyperstate but at the cost transforming the Empire into one dominated by the Americans and Indians.

OOC: This really reminds me of Code Geass... And I will have more later on, I'm sleep deprived right now.

True but it is still is important for the Empire as an "Imperial outpost" near Europe. Also as an "ancestral mecca" for the millions of Americans that came from their. Britain has a lot of Americans vacationing, to living their and researching their ancestral roots.
