Kingdom of Montreal

Okay what? Is that a Crusader State based around Mount Sinai? Or are you talking about a Loyalist French Remnant that survives in Quebec? Either way Im on board.

Whatever you can figure out, but the former seems more likely to me. It would be interesting, from the perspective of OTL, at least.
 
That seems fairly difficult. While definitely an important castle, as the center of the Lordship of Outrejordan, it was replaced by Kerak in the 1150s. Even then, the Outrejordan was fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things compared to Jerusalem or even Galilee. It was sub-par agricultural land, had a tiny population, and didn't have much potential.
 
I hadn't heard of it, but if you can somehow have Jerusalem survive as a Christian entity, it could end up splintering years later, resulting in Montreal becoming a Kingdom.

By the way just an aside, love how many Baldwins there were in Crusader States.
 
Set in the "Greater Middle East" i.e. Maghreb.

France rebuilds this fort here on Mount Murdjadjo shortly after their occupation of Oran. The rebuilding process costs them a fortune but it once again becomes quite defensible; overlooking the city below. Time proceeds as OTL and the coup of Napoleon III still occurs. A favorable impression of the fort made to Napoleon after Oran was made a départment leads him to call it "Montréal" not long after his coronation. His son does not die IOTL and when the French Republic declares itself such after the Franco-Prussian War, rather than go to England, Napoleon holes up in Oran. Grudgingly supported by the British, Napoleon's son first takes up the title "King of France" but because his dominion only fits around Oran he ends up jokingly being called the "King of Montréal". In the mid-'40s, his great-great grandson reverts the territory simply to that, becoming a micro-state around Oran which ironically holds out in the Algerian Wars of Independence with French support. It survives today as the only micro-state (protected by France in an agreement similar to Monaco) in Maghreb, a wealthy trading city with a large expatriate population. It has not been recognized by Algeria, with Morocco supporting their claim on the territory.

I'd fill in the blanks, but I don't care enough to do research for this kind of thing :D.

If they were renaming it after a colony, wouldn't Canada make more sense?
 
"New Canada" would be pretty lame for a colony in the Middle East. At least Montreal makes sense, given that the whole mountain deal is still going on.

I understand that. All I was saying is that naming it Montreal in honor od the mountain would make sense. Instead what he said was

If they were naming something after a lost colony, it would make more sense to call to Canada, as that was an administrative division as opposed to a city.
 
Remember folks tthat montreal=mount royal. It doesnt have to have anything to do with canada.

I realized that. The reason for the name made no sense. He said it was in memory of the city of Montreal in New France, and I said it would make more sense to have it called Canada if they were going to bother. If he had said they call it Montreal because of the volcano I wouldn't have said anything but the reason given for the name change made no sense.
