Truth be told, there isn't anything really concrete written yet. I have most of the concepts down, but I don't know where to take a lot of the world. Just kind of enjoying making faux media for it.
Well, I can't make any promises since I'm rather short of time of late, but I'll try to find time to have a look at it and let you know if I have any suggestions.
I do have some question regarding Portugal Post War. At first glance I owuld think national morale would be high. They have regained a significant Colonial empire at relatively little cost. The estblishment of Equador under the new Emperor takes some sting out of the defeat in ther Brazilian Civil War. Finally they are in a position to Play the *USA and the Reich off to maintain greatyer independence.
Overall the sense of national morale and pride in Portugal is pretty good post-war, yes. They've taken a few losses, and Germany is a rather big, scary threat, but they do feel that they've managed to fend off the Reich during a war when no-one else in Europe really managed it.
However this raises certain questions.
How stable is the new colonial empire? If I recall correctly several of the territories rewarded to Lisbon have neverbefore been under Portueguese control. Are they still using the Vice Kingdom system of Governance?
Some of these territories are stable, some aren't. Without going into too many details, some of the colonies don't mind Portugal (too much) as a ruler since the other prospects are worse. Some are resentful. Some are potentially stable but are being destabilised thanks to outside interference - the Silent War at work.
The new Braganca state was established in no small part by an *American belief that it would be a client state in the same vein as the NFS. However unlike the NFS it it is not so isolated andhas at least the mother country willing to support it. So what is the situation like in Equador, a strictly *American client or does Lisbon have influenmce as well?
Equador is a satellite state in some senses of the word. It is heavily under *US influence whenever the *US tries to exercise its power. However, there's a tacit understanding that the *USA will only exercise its influence in certain areas: defence and foreign affairs, mostly. Internally, Equador is mostly left alone.
Lisbon has considerable cultural links with Equador, but since Portugal is itself largely dependent on *American goodwill, that doesn't really translate into much political influence.
Furthermore is it Pariah State or recognized as a legitmate nation beyond the *American sphere.
It's seen as being about as legitimate a nation as say, OTL's Soviet-dominated Poland was post-WW2.
What sort of position is Lisbon in internatianally POst War as an American Ally and a Eurpoean nation outside of the GEEU?
Short version: in a delicate position.
Slightly longer version: trying to cultivate friendly relations with Aragon to allow a local balance of power on the Iberian peninsula (against Castile) while relying on the *USA to back it up if Germany gets too pushy or too involved in Castile and/or Aragon.
In its cultural and economic relations with Europe, Portugal is still reasonably well involved. There's sporting links, and a reasonable amount of trade - although Portugal is outside tariff walls - but still, Portugal looks to Equador and the *USA in some respects.
Incidentally how are the Nephites doing(on and off Vancouver Island)?
The Island is a reasonably prosperous micro-nation, mostly because it has beome like Switzerland in some ways. That is, something of a tax haven. And lots of chocolate production; the Island pays for first pick of caco plantation production from the tropical *US territories (and Portuguese African plantations), and turns them into premium production.
The Nephites turned to chocolate production, incidentally, because it is something which they have no religious objection too, unlike alcohol or tea or coffee. It's not just because something like Switzerland has to show up in every timeline.
Outside of the Island, the Nephites are still a reasonable percentage of the population of Deseret, and have some adherents elsewhere in the world. They're also among the more determined churches who are sending missionaries into Africa.
Will the rest of the world ever unite against this USA when they eventually start enslaving white nations since they got over the shock of enslaving the British Columbians ?
That would depend on the circumstances. Up until this point, the *USA has largley gotten away with its atrocities because they are happening in its own hemisphere, which is a long way away from the other powers in Europe. If the *USA starts trying to project power into other "white" nations, that will also bring them into more direct conflict with the other superpowers. Which will produce all sorts of reactions, mostly involving things painted green and which have lots of firepower.
Hrm. Jefferson, talked about continental union occasionally. Him?
Yep-my brother looked it up last night after I guessed that since Tom Jeff also spoke of aquiring Cuba.
Yup, Thomas Jefferson is the man. He was one voice (although not the only) who was already speaking of the United States taking over the whole of the Americas. And this was just after the American Revolution...
