So this is my guess for racial classifications in the empire.
TBH this is probably pretty close to what I had in mind:
White:
White British/Anglo-Celtic
(English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Cornish)
White European
(Whites with origins from Europe)
Northern European
(Nordic Federation & Baltics)
Western European
(German-speaking countries, France, Low Countries, Switzerland, Yisrael)
Southern European
(Iberia, Italian Peninsula, Greece)
Eastern European
(Soviet Union, Balkans, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine)
Slavic British (Slavic-speaking countries)
White Caribbean
(Whites with origins from the Caribbean)
White Other
(No Specified Country of Origin)
Mixed White
(Mixed with White British and Other White)
Asian:
East Asian
(China, Japan [incl. Taiwan], Manchuria, Corea, Southeast Asia)
South Asian
(India, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan)
Indo-Caribbean (South Asians with origins from the Caribbean)
Central Asian
(Soviet Central Asia, Afghanistan)
Mixed Asian
(Mixed with more than one Asian subgroup)
Black:
Black African (Blacks with origins from Africa)
Afro-Caribbean (Blacks with origins from the Caribbean)
Mixed Black (Blacks with origins from both)
Aboriginal:
Aboriginal American/North American Aborigine (Inuit, Cherokee, Cree, Seminole, Miami, Shawnee, Innu, Chinook, Sioux, etc.)
Amerindian (South American & Caribbean Natives, also used in Oregon)
Pacific Islanders (Aborigine Australian, Maori, iTaukei, other Pacific Islanders, etc.)
Other or mixed Aboriginal (mixed meaning from more than one category)
Turkic:
Turkic (Origins from a Turkic-speaking county, e.g Turkish, Uzbek, Kazakh, Azerbaijani etc.)
Middle Eastern/North African:
Arab (Origins from the Arab World)
Berber (Origins from native North African peoples)
Other Middle Easterners (Persians/Iranians, Armenians, Druze, Kurds, Cypriot etc.)
Mixed Middle Easterner (Mixed with more than one category)

Will there be a pop-cultural update? I'm very interested in possible Hail Britannia analogues to modern pop culture... Like, "Captain Britannia" or something.
I wonder how Star Trek and Star Wars are in this universe.
Pop-culture isn't really my strong point. I prefer to focus on national history, people and elections.
I'd imagine TTL's Captain Britain would be a merger of OTL Captain America and Captain Britain...
I mentioned previously that either
Enterprise is handled better or never happens. But since
Voyager there have been two further series,
Frontier and
Discovery. The former takes place in the post-Voyager era c. 2380s and leads up to the Hobus supernova (my thinking here is that the reboots still go ahead). The latter probably either follows on the same time period or jumps ahead to the 2450s.
I haven't really enjoyed OTL
Discovery so far as it has created too many plot holes and is messing with canon. I'm hoping there will be an explanation, but for now ITTL
Discovery is
not as OTL.
For Star Wars?
The Galactic Empire is the beloved democracy that the Jedi Knights (!) defend, and the Galactic Union of Democratic Republics is the totalitarian dictatorship run by a Sith.
(!) Bonus: The Jedi are literally knighted by the monarch.
Haha great idea
Hadn't thought about Star Wars... Potentially we could see a different storylines for Episodes 1 and 7, but on the whole probably as OTL. Perhaps instead of a Galactic Republic there is a Galactic Commonwealth with a ceremonial monarch above the Chancellor who gets overthrown by the Sith??
