The Iceland dispute seems reasonable, but I am unsure as to how valuable Denmark saw Iceland as being, the main exports from the time seem to be fish and diatomite (a material used to stabilise explosives). I don't feel they would ally against the various allies Canada has, especially since the British Isles are so close, though I am willing to be proven wrong. A Scandinavian union would potentially be able to make for a much fairer fight, but that is assuming that they are willing to break almost 100 years of peace. On the other hand, if diatomite is rare, then maybe they would want to corner the market, or there could well be something I missed.

Regarding Japan, I do indeed stand corrected, looked it up and the British were somewhat fond of Japan for a little over a century and considered them fine trading partners. The relationship between these two would be even closer ITTL.

Look forward to reading more!

Thanks! And fair enough. The Danes may just say "meh," with regards to Iceland, but I felt that with the not too distant in the past Schleswig War would have caused Denmark to save face as a possible reason for not just dropping Iceland. Historically speaking though, the Danes were relatively accommodating of Icelandic complaints and demands.
 
Two questions/comments on the map;

Who is the dark green land locked fellow in North America?

And,

I see you have the Texan/Mexico border still along the Rio Grande as OTL; but that wouldn't be the case since there isn't a Mexian-American war it would be the Nueces(if I remember correctly) which is more north; also how did the then vertical line get made between the two countries after the border heads inland along the river for awhile?

That's the colour for unorganized US territory.

But, there is a Mexican-American War as part of the Pan-American War. Mexico still loses Texas, but it's a smaller Texas. The border results from continued bickering over where to draw the border and international arbitration settles on a compromise that continues a longitude line from an earlier Mexican border straight down to the Rio Grande.
 
Here's something I haven't really evaluated; the Canadian monarchy.

Does an aristocracy arise? What are the Dukedoms and earldoms? With Prince Arthur (Now King William I) having children like OTL, how does this affect who marries who and what royal houses are married into?
 
Looks pretty good. I like it.

My only thing is... the First World War analogue is a little too OTL. The butterflies make such a similar Germany very unlikely. Not impossible, but still.

Overall, nice!

Yeah, I can see that. I am planning on doing some changes that affect things post-war and in the lead-up to WWII, but I wanted to mostly leave WWI alone as it's not really the focus, except as a catalyst for what comes next.
 
Here's a scenario I'd like some help and suggestions for:

What happens to India? With all the princely states, that certainly complicates matters. Does a Brit come to rule India as the Indian Empire, or is there a shrewd native who comes to prominence as the head of an independent Indian-led Indian Empire?
 
Remember, this would also need to be translated into English. Ex: 'Quebec' works in both languages.
umm it does, La Verendrye was a french explorer who expanded the fur trade into saskatchewan (i was trying to find a french explorer who had reached the west coast but that was the explorer who had reached the furthest before the British conquered New France) Outremer means over seas (when I suggested it, i thought it meant western lands, Ouest outremer sounds like they connect) but it still works
 
Why not still name it after Vancouver.

There is a Vancouver city on the Columbia river.

Its all just in the pronunciation
Like Ke-bec vs Kwuh-bec

Because there's still likely a Vancouver in the Columbia half of this giant district. I'm trying to find a name for the southern half that isn't Oregon. :/
 
That could work, as well as 'Cascadie' as a French version of Cascadia.

You could also name something after Alexander Mackenzie.

He was assisted by French Voyageurs. Of course, he came out onto the Pacific much further north of the Columbia river, but he beat Lewis and Clark by over a decade in crossing North America

That's also a decent idea. I was briefly considering using "Willamette" as a province name, but ditched it because it's not properly French. :/
 
Which flag of an alternate (non-Maximilian) Second Mexican Empire does this community prefer? A, or B?
