I just noticed that the Aral sea is the same as OTL, meaning the Soviets had a similar cotton policy in this time.
Reposting. Also, does anyone have a WorldA map of the world in TTL?I'm currently working no a Mosaic Earth, and I'm not sure what to take from this TL. America and Australia are mostly full, but the rest of the world is free. I'm currently contemplating Gibraltar and New Ararat; any others you'd suggest?
so I doubt we'd still get the cocktail named for it, or at least not the one we know IOTLI just thought of something-Japan was on the side of the Allies in TTL's WW2, and I don't think China would be fanatical enough to launch suicide attacks against Allied warships. Therefore, it's possible that the word "kamikaze" could retain its original meaning-a stroke of good fortune out of nowhere.

Not really sure what a Mosaic Earth is...
Basically, a Mosaic Earth is formed by areas from several different timelines being ISOTed to the same world. It's often used in collaborative shared worlds TLs and scenarios.
Just so you know, the original plan for the 50th anniversary special was to have the Ninth Doctor be the one who fought in the Time War, but since Christopher Eccleston declined to return, the War Doctor was created. Seeing as Jackie Chan apparently returned ITTL, why was there a War Doctor?Harrison Ford's version of the Doctor was created retroactively as a previously unseen incarnation known as the "War Doctor", who existed outside of the regular numbering system. Ford's character first appears in the series seven finale, "The Name of the Doctor", as a shadowy figure within the Doctor's timeline, playing opposite the Eleventh Doctor (Chris Hemsworth). The origins of the War Doctor are given in the mini-episode "The Night of the Doctor", where the Eighth Doctor (Alec Baldwin) chooses to regenerate into a warrior to fight in the Time War. Digitally restored footage of Ford from Star Wars was used to make the actor appear younger. The only full appearance of Harrison Ford as the War Doctor was in the 50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor" where he appears alongside the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors (Jackie Chan, David Tennant and Chris Hemsworth respectively). The reception of Ford's version of the Doctor was generally positive.
Considering today's date, do you plan to shed some more light on TTL's version of 9/11?On 11 September 2001 (“9/11”), the United Empire was struck by a terrorist attack al-Qaeda hijackers commandeered seven airliners to be used in suicide attacks. Two planes struck the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York, a third struck the Palace of Westminster in central London and the fourth into the Pentagon in suburban London, killing 4,172 victims. Passengers and crew successfully retook control of two of the three remaining planes, and they crashed in Allegheny, Columbia and West Berkshire, England respectively, whilst air defences brought down the seventh plane outside of Fredericksburg when it targeted the Triskelion. In response, Prime Minister George W. Bush announced a “War on Terror”, and in October the United Empire and CDP invaded Somalia to end the civil war, which had provided a haven for al-Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden, and eliminate the alleged chemical weapons in the country. In the Arabian Peninsula, tensions between Nejd and Hasa erupted into war over control of vital oil reserves and unresolved border tensions and the Saudis support for Islamic extremists, forcing British involvement in the region. Despite initial successes in both theatres, the continued overseas deployment of the British military fuelled international protests and led to the collapse of the Bush government under domestic and international pressure.
Actually shouldn’t it be 11/9 considering the UKE is on the Day/Month/Year calendar.
Ah I had forgotten about that. I wonder if it is ever call 11/9, much like WW1 was original call the First World War/the Great War.I believe the term was coined in Texas ITTL. They use MM/DD/YY ITTL.
Source?I believe the term was coined in Texas ITTL. They use MM/DD/YY ITTL.

9/11 retains its OTL designation for reasons of convergence. But the "in universe" explanation is that a local reporter for the Texan News Service was one of the first to report and broadcast footage, and in it they referred to the date as September 11 - so the 9/11 bit stuck from there.
It’d be cool to see a map of what different European nations colonised.
Who represents Maine in the Imperial Parliament?
