Aerodromes are the TTL terminology for planes in general, these specific ones are indeed biplanes.
So will planes be called drones colloquially?

I will be going back to those cultural interludes in Volume VI when the Pandoric War is done; however, I can mention some of the things you mention in passing in these war vignettes of course.thande, can you do a another cutler interlude about literature and art styles. also how different is all of religion like in theology? also, what ever happen to classical music and how different is it besides Mozart being a general in this timeline?
That's an interesting question. I'll have to think about that one.How are censuses conducted? *Analytical Engines, or at the very least *Difference Engines, exist ITTL, so that makes census-taking a lot easier than it would otherwise be. But I recall you referenced Optel destroying the mail system of most countries by including parcel delivery as a side business and distributing letters through Optel. How exactly does the government distribute census forms, then?
Fantastic update, and looks like things are going to go from just grim to downright vicious in short order with the introduction of chemical weapons from the labs of PAWC's boffins. Though it is somewhat gratifying to see the Societists as adept at scheming and playing the long game as some of the writings we've been given glimpses of have painted them as. Can't wait for the next update.
And that'd better have been deliberate, you cheeky bugger!

Yes, dromes. After going through a period of being called 'dromes with an apostrophe, as was done with 'planes in OTL (and the 'phone and the 'bus).Dromes.
So, I'm rereading the TL, and I come across this line:
"TENDRING: The President has been kidnapped by Nindzhyas. Are you a Bad enough Duke to rescue the President?"
You created a character, gave him an extensive backstory, and changed the title of the head of the British government specifically to make this joke. And by God was it worth it.
....and the epically famous painting titled.... well, you remember.
I actually don't. Care to refresh my memory?
Five knights at Freddy's.I actually don't. Care to refresh my memory?
I'm still withholding my judgment on adeptness. This is, after all, simply another one of those "writings we've been given".Fantastic update, and looks like things are going to go from just grim to downright vicious in short order with the introduction of chemical weapons from the labs of PAWC's boffins.

Pirates vs Nindzhyas.
Five knights at Freddy's.
So. The Societists will be using gas warfare to start the revolution. If I ever had any questions about them not being as bad as they're painted, I've lost them(or at least they've decreased in intensity).
They might still end up being better in the long run. Who knows? (Thande knows.)So. The Societists will be using gas warfare to start the revolution. If I ever had any questions about them not being as bad as they're painted, I've lost them(or at least they've decreased in intensity).
I doubt it. They're based off an insane cult that ignores half of what its founder says for their own ends. Even without the obvious analog to communism that's still pretty bad. What I wanna know is what life is like in the Combine. Is capitalism still a thing? How does the government work? How far along is the implementation of NewSpeak(don't know the name of their "final language", but that's what it is).They might still end up being better in the long run. Who knows? (Thande knows.)
Thats hardly a rare occurence in any group in any TL.They're based off an insane cult that ignores half of what its founder says for their own ends.

I don't think we can infer that is canon yet. It does seem safe to say, though, that it looks dystopic from Thande's perspective.I think it was mentioned that the Combine is capitalist.
