Brief history: When Alexander Hamilton and New York seceded from the newly independent USA, the rest of New England followed suit. Alexander Hamilton invited John Adams to be Chancellor of the Realm. When Alexanders daughter, Alexandra Louise I, married John Adams son, Prine-Consort John Quincy, the Royal House of Hamilton-Adams was formed. Queen Alexandra Louise III is a direct decendent.

In 1861, after a US Civil War broke out, Great Britain allowed New Brunswick to join the federation, if the kingdom abolished the Episcopal-Anglican Church of Boston, and formed a church, fully allied with the Church of England, accepting the King and Archbishop as Head. A deal was formed. The Dioecese of New Brunswick would accept the King of England as Head of the Church, while the other Federations accepted King Alexander II as Head. In return, the Church of America was formed, its head: the Archbishop of Canterburry.

Today, New England enjoys its place as one of the most economiccly prosperous nations. It is a member of NATO, the North American Peace-Keeping Confederations (NAPKC), the European Union (although it does not use the euro), and the African Nationalist Union (through its colony at Sudan).

Do you think that there would have been a war for secession in this TL. w/o the electors of New England, Lincoln wouldn't have been able to win the 1860 election.

Without the New England states, the north wouldn't have been able to pass legislation that would have benefited their businesses at the expense of plantation owners, so the South wouldn't have tried to secede.

I suppose, instead, that the Midwest might try to secede (as William Lloyd Garrison urged the north to do in OTL, so that slaves could have a refuge), but even if that does happen, imho, it's kind of fishy to have a civil war the same year in this TL as in OTL. Make it a little later -- 1873 or so.

I'm not too sure about New England being a monarchy, either. I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that "monarchist" was just something that critics labeled Hamilton and Adams (like Jefferson's critics called him "Mad Tom" the atheist).

I would also question the existence of NATO and the EU in this TL. Did WWII happen the same way as in OTL? I'd be surprised if it did.

And why on earth would New England have a colony in east Africa? That makes no sense to me whatsoever.

If you can justify that last stuff, more power to you. I'd just like to know how NATO the EU, the African Union (+ the Sudan colony) came about in this TL. :eek:

Very Interesting, but I don't see why Rhode Island and Providence Plantations would be broken up. Also, North Massachusetts (assuming it is OTL Maine) would likely choose the name Maine upon indepdendence from Massachusetts. And, on a technicality, New York isn't really considered part of "New England Proper", though your conclusion that the NE states would leave upon a sucessful NY secession makes sense.

Prince of Vermont is an interesting title. What made them choose Vermont for the Prince's title, rather than New York or any other state- erm, Royal District?

Thank you for this. I couldn't think of what else to put, so now I can answer your questions:Do you think that there would have been a war for secession in this TL. w/o the electors of New England, Lincoln wouldn't have been able to win the 1860 election.

I didn't know exactly which year the Civil War was. However, in this timeline, the deep south (Gerogia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisisana, and Texas) seceded from the USA because the Congress passed a law ending slavery. However, Virginia, and the northern parts of the south, had long ago become manufacturing states

Yes, John Adams was indeed a monarchist. He wanted semi-royal titles for the president, like Republican Majesty, and Exellency. In the begining, before America became a republic, he wanted a kingdom, with a king.

NATO- being North American Treaty Org, was formed after the Quebec Rebellion, ensuring that North American countries would solve their problems with treaties, and negotiating, instead of wars. However, there is no problem in WWI, or a Great War, or WWII happening.

East Africa, I presume you mean Sudan. Well, the New England army, bent on colonization, bought this area for roughly 10,000,000, which they finally finnished paying in 1921.

In order to get Vermont to koin FKNE, instead of staying a republic, they offered it rule, like Wales to England, and their own Provincial parliament.

Maine, you're right, was separated by Royal decree, not by their wanting independence. To please the Massachusets, royal district government, they named it "Royal District of the Province of North Massachusets."

As for RI, and PP, many rich plantation owner took the monarhist government for granted, and were allowed to form the Viscountship of the Providen Planations. Abigail Smith's cousin, Elizabeth Smith, was the first Viscountess of the Providence Plantations. The smith family still has their title, and their small mansion on one of the 15 plantations.

Click on the Manage Attachments button in the New Post page, it's under the text box in the table marked "ADDITIONAL OPTIONS". Try to save the flag as a PNG (I'm pretty sure Paint can do this), rather than a BMP, before uploading, because sometimes BMP files go over the size limit for uploaded images.

This will explain some of NE's possesions. Imperial Russia & Imperial Gemrnay declare War on NE, UK, USA, Austria-Hungry(AH). A war develops, Sudan breaks free forming the short lived Socialist People's Republic of the Sudanese, shortly after taken over from Royal NE troops. The war ends, with Vancover, Canada, New England, United British Empire, and Austria-Hungry victorious.

*I'll draw a post war map later.*

Nice timeline. :D
What is your model of peerage? Is the British one, or one cobbled together from the Continent?

The British Titles:

Duke
Marquess (Count)
Earl
Viscount
Baron

I understand the idea of the Queen's cousin being styled and Archduke. Is the Grand Duke a member of a Cadet Branch of the Royal Family?

The holdings of a Viscount are styled "Viscounty" or "Viscountcy".

Would the Plantation holders be styled "Baron"?

:confused: Now I'm more confused than ever. Would you mind posting a more thorough version of your TL?

It's just that I'd like to see some more specific explanations, like the reasons for declaring war, why NE and not UK went into Sudan, from whom did Sudan break away (did the British Empire control it as the southern portion of Egypt in this TL, or did the UK have Egypt at all?), did the war last for 55 years -- or just a series of wars (andif so how many)? It looks to be a good TL; I'd just like to know more about it -- have some of the blanks filled in.

Thanks for the earlier explanations, too. I was unaware that Adams was an out-and-out monarchist. I just thought that people called him that the same way people call Bush a Nazi these days.

Actually, a British earl is equivalent to a Continental count.

Monarch- King/Queen Bob Smith
Monarchs father (if abdicated)- Royal Father Bob Smith
Monarchs mother- Queen Mother Jane Smith

If the couisin, is related to them throught the previous monarch, they are Grand Dukes/uchess. If they are from the other side, Archduke/ess. Siblings are strictly up to the parent monarch, and can be changed by the next ruler. And yes, it is a hogpog of different titles.

As for that war map, I changed my mind. I still have to think how NE would get Sudan and the Malagasy island. So, I'll try to delete it, if possible.
