Nice chapter. If possible, I would love to see POV chapters of people living in Eurasia? Would love to see a chapter on Castro. Keep up the good work.
Glad you got something upI'm going to add pics tomorrow, but wanted to at least give y'all the text tonight. Enjoy!
Why do I suddenly have this strange need to play "Fortunate Son"?
Valdez Raptor Helicopters in Bolivia (1954)
Because helicopters and jungle.Why do I suddenly have this strange need to play "Fortunate Son"?
With the new leadership of Eurasia, I would say The Battle on Ice and Sacred War would be more appropriate music to play right now.Why do I suddenly have this strange need to play "Fortunate Son"?
Wonder when the next chapter will come. I hope we don't have to wait to long. How is the Empire of Hindustan/Moslemstan (OTL India) doing after WW2? Probably in perpetual rivalry with China over influence within their shared space. Hope the Muslims and Hindus are living in peace with one another.
Next chapter will come when the author decides it is ready.Wonder when the next chapter will come.

Sounds like a movie I would be interested in watching.There was, in fact, a large propaganda effort around the early years of New Zion. Much of it was from genuine enthusiasm, but it was also partly to drown out complaints from displaced Canadians. The two most famous products of this effort were the movie Exodus and the genre of the "Kosher Western." Exodus, an epic film released in 1951, detailed the fictional story of a young Polish Jewish woman named Esther Loeb as she survived the loss of her parents and the abuses of life in post-war Poland, then came on a boat to America to settle down in New Zion. There, she fought off a pack of wolves and founded a farm in the (real) new settlement of New Eliat. At the midpoint of the film, secret Sons of the Maple Leaf loyalists (portrayed as Brits) besieged her farm. She was rescued by Captain Rick Snyder, a wholesome German-American boy from Iowa. They fall in love, and Esther helps him round up the last loyalists in the area around New Eliat. The film concludes with their wedding, and the epilogue states that they have 6 children, who Rick and Esther agreed to raise Jewish. The movie was a smash hit, and also the first action/epic film to feature a true female lead. Exodus would shape much of the public's perception of the colonization project in New Zion. The "Kosher Westerns" played a role in that as well. These were essentially classic Western stories but told through the eyes of Jews settling in New Zion in the modern day. All in all, Americans viewed the project in New Zion as wholly heroic on the part of the Jews, and altruistic on their part.
That is from Genesis 12:3. "and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed."ITTL that translates to helping settle the Jews in America and saying that America must shelter the Jews "because those that bless Zion will be blessed by God" (rough summary of a piece of scripture I don't remember at the moment). This leads into a final point.
I thought OP had updated the thread...Sounds like a movie I would be interested in watching.
