What's the status of the native americans in this timeline? I know the Iroquois got a state but how did other native american groups like the Navajo and the Cherokee do?
Better in some cases, but worse in others...
@Turquoise Blue has helped me come up with a few ideas. The clearance of the midwest still occurs, explaining the majority white status of Missouri. The First Nations of Canada and Oregon do much as OTL Canadian First Nations. The Iroquois have their own state - in the sense that certain tribal structures are preserved and the chiefs of the Iroquois nations sit in the province's upper house.
The Navajo are the most populous of the Texan First Nations, being a plurality in the state of Navajo - with many other Texan native americans making their home in the state, and the gradual merging of the various cultures is ongoing - leading to a synthesis of Navajo and other Texan native cultures.
The Cherokee still have a presence in Carolina, but mainly suffered the same fate as OTL with the Trail of Tears leading to their removal to what is now Sequoyah and Wichita. There many of the "southern" native american tribes have settled and much like in Navajo there us a cultural renaissance and synthesis ongoing.
What's Florida like? Is Ariana Grande still a music superstar?
Well Florida is majority hispanophone - which is very exciting
I've been revamping their posts to reflect some new ideas. Very exciting!
Ariana Grande-Butera is a bilingual singer and actress from Florida, who is notable for performing in both English and Spanish language songs as well as a strong career on Broadway as an actress.
What happens to Pinochet?
Augusto Pinochet was the dictator of Chile from 1973 to 1995. More to come on Chile, but in the present it is a parliamentary republic with a ceremonial president and a prime minister as the head of government.
Unless I'm reading that map wrong, the province of Colorado doesn't cover the Colorado River.
But its southern and western border is the Colorado River.
I apologize for my earlier request, it was rude and in bad taste.
You are forgiven. Just please starting learning from your mistakes.
This is a fantastic timeline, and the lore and different nations are very interesting.
Thanks
May I ask what is the Levant like? Is it a majority Christian population?
Not majority Christian - it's probably about 32% Christian, 32% Muslim, 30% Jewish, 6% other. It's a directorial republic modelled on the Swiss system - with a federal council made up of 3 Christians, 3 Muslims, 3 Jews and 2 others - a rotaing presidency, and a bicameral legislature with separate electoral lists.
And has Brazilian Africa integrated well into Brazil?
It's a comparable situtation to OTL Puerto Rico. I'd say Benguelans (the demonym for Brazilian Africa) see them selves as Brazilian but with a separate and unique culture. They enjoy the benefits of being "part" of Brazil, whilst also a moderate amount of independence in relations with Africa.
@LeinadB93 are you planning on doing an map/post on how the Scramble of Africa occuredon the TL?
We already have a map of TTL Africa's colonial divisions.
And what is up with Morocco? How did it become fortunate enough to not be colonized?
I might delve into it in greater detail, but the post before is pretty much still canon about the colonial divisions. Although Morocco may be retconned to be a French protectorate...
The borders are going to be adjusted slightly when I update the world maps - as much of Morocco's territorial gains came from post-colonial wars.
