The ENA. Although that raises the question of what the Great American War is going to be about... [well, there will be lots of issues I'm sure but I was under the impression the initial war would be started by the slavery issue]

At some points, I can't help but wonder whether this timeline isn't thriving just a bit too much on the Rule of Cool.
Anyway, great update.

Was waiting for that reference as soon as the words "Oregon Trail" appeared...
I go and put in this reference for all the Americans who grew up playing it at school, and of course the person who gets it is another Englishman

Ah, hadn't thought of that. I came across the game through watching nostalgic retrogaming videos made by Americans. I suppose I could put in references to the edutainment time travel adventure games (yes, plural) for the Acorn Archimedes, but few people would get that.
I didn't but it's become quite memetic online. The edutainment game that comes to mind for me was Badger Trails.

Hardly, though I think there might have been some Who and Douglas Adams references in one of them.
I almost certain it was mentioned that one point that "Owens-Allen" will become a king again at some point in the future. So I guess the question now is if he'll be king in Williamsburg or Fredricksburg?
Great update as usual, Thande. I'm really curious to see what'll happen to Henry Frederick.
I have a question: will we see Giuseppe Garibaldi (or maybe an ATL sibling) ITTL?

I'm wondering if the ENA (and the Hanoverian Domains in general) will go Arandite(sic) in the future.
It was.
That was why I was predicting Virginian independence.
Which basically requires Carolinan independence, which basically means the ENA's gone, hmmm, maybe not.
Why would the ENA dissolve. It would still have three of the five confederations and probably much of the population. I have yet to see a timeline where the US stops being the US after a confederate victory in the OTL civil war.

Henry Frederick becoming a king again doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be the king of Virginia. Given the trend towards rank inflation, he might end up in charge of some mid-sized American protectorate and still be called 'king'.
With slavery apparently no longer a major issue for most Virginians, Virginian independence from the ENA sounds difficult, though I won't say it's impossible (this ATL always retains the ability to surprise me). Carolinian independence is of course a different matter.

It helps that out of the 'south' of OTL and seemingly TTL, Virginia holds the most urbanized and commercial population even within the 'west' (since it contains Occidentalia/*Independence, which would also mean the future *Kansas City, as well as St. Lewis). To say nothing of Williamsburgshire, Richmondshire, and Maryland and McConnell and Shippingport, TTL's versions of Lexington and Louisville. It's undoubtedly southern... but it's also the part of the south that cleaved the most to the north.
Not to mention, Americans in TTL pride themselves on local independence and equality if in their own way and already have an Emperor. Why have another king that much closer to boss them out?
Personally, I'd be surprised if even Carolina split off.
