Self explanatory post, sorry for the lenght :')
Since Andalusia has managed to get the Balerics, should we assume Muslims also managed to snag or keep more islands in the Mediterranean, perhaps including Sardinia? And speaking of islands, do you see Leon as having the Azores here? Would the Canaries go to Morocco? What is the relationship with Anadalusia and the Emirate with whatever the main Caliphate of this world is? Is Francia mainly just France or does it include more of Germany? Did any Crusades manage to take or retake the Balkans or Jerusalem? Do you see Leon and Catalonia as being places other Christian countries would want to get marriage ties to for alliances, or would they be seen as so busy being frontier barriers to any further Muslim invasions that they would be too busy to help out in dynastic wars?Also, any comment or question about the lore or TTL’s present will be appreciated
Equal Earth Projection, I think it’s on this website somewhere. Just site-search “Equal Earth.”
This timeline isn’t very realistic, but I do make explanations for their events.
1) Indeed it is. I went more in depth in previous posts, but basically, the EIC managed to maintain its existence after the fall of Britain. They eventually fell to a militia that they hired, the Red Dragons, who proclaimed the totally not evil Draconian Empire.
2) As French soldiers reached British soil, the British desperately called for backup from the East Indies colony. Now free, starving, and horrified of being put back under colonial rule, an anti-colonialist movement using the legacy of the Majapahit took the islands by storm. Shocking the world, they fended off the French, primarily thanks to innovative guerrilla tactics and several French catastrophic failures. The French were exhausted from decades, and now, they had to throw their navy at a bunch of natives, and somehow lose? After accelerating the war to no avail, pro-peace movement secured the National Assembly, and withdrew. The Majapahit have since steadily expanded.
Since apparently the kingdom still leased Pearl Harbor to the USN, I think it still would have seen significant immigration, and probably went through something like colonialism (even if informally) through plantation companies. Not just a small white anglo class that would be fairly easy to deport following a revolution, but significant numbers of Asian contract laborers as IOTL.
Oh, so the US base at Pearl Harbor was just leased, it wasn't that the whole country was part of the States until the revolution? Got it.
Though I will note that the population of Hawaii was already 90,000 in 1890, after American economic activity but before annexation; it's hard to say how many of those were immigrants, though, because the Hawaiian census did note country of origin, the records from the 1890 census are in physically bad condition apparently).
On the other hand, the 1878 census shows marked population decrease compared to 1850 (though 1890 turned it around in a big way - so I guess a lot of that must have been from immigration, now that I think about it).

Cholera is a mean one
The population is still mostly Japanese and Chinese laborers with a healthy amount of Native Hawaiians, but illness has kept numbers low.

Not sure I'm totally sold, but a good enough explanation, I could see lack of direct colonial involvement leading to underdeveloped infrastructure/healthcare and keep the population low.
But at the same time, given that the island is still probably underdeveloped and hasn't reached demographic transition, it's probably going to see a massive population explosion over the next ~40 years.
THE RÜCONQUEBERUNG
Though the beginning of the Rüconqueberung is traditionally dated to about 822, when the Katolik Romantine and Germanic Kingdoms opposed the Slavs at the Battle of Issoudun, the impulse toward reconquest was expressed only sporadically through the first two centuries of Slavic hegemony. After a failed invasion of Slavic Gaul in 881, in 991 Loudewiq of Onglia captured Nizza and eventually established Romantine control over the Aplish Marches, constituting the majority of the Western Italian Alps. Romano -Germanic kings, which after many successive divisions of the old kingdoms came to be known primarily by the Kingdoms of Löwinne, Festungia, and Galaporta, presenting themselves as the heirs to the Roman Empire that had ruled Gaul prior to the Slavic conquest. The Kingdoms Capitalized on dissension within the Slavic ranks in the late 10th century and expanded their holdings north into Central Gaul. The Reconquest might have taken root at that earlier date had it not been for a resurgence in the power of the Srpian Kralewstvo and a break between the Katolik kingdoms of Löwinne and Festungia in the early 10th century.

I'm sure that Khosrov V was the sort who could do things all day. And thought he had Armenia's ass.

Interesting to see Lusatia and Serbia as different places in a TL where the Serbs didn’t go south but I guess “Lužice” (little woodlands) is a generic enough Slavic toponym and it also seems Serbs and Sorbs still form 2 separate groups, in Britain and Normandy. So Serbia is Granada? Neat.THE RÜCONQUEBERUNG

Kalmyk Pannonia is a welcome sight.
Is Donai supposed to be related to the Rus? Just because the symbol somewhat resembles the Tryzub.
I was going for Luž as in "Puddle/Swamps/Water-Hole" hence Netherlands with it's swamps and all.
"Lessia, Leszia," is what I was going for with "Woodlands" and of course "Zalessia" (past the woodland)
I suppose yes Donai would be Rus'
The Germanic and West Latinic Kingdoms of Festungia and Lowinne are akin to "Castille & Leon" both deriving from "Castle - Festung" and "Lion - Lowinne"

Really lovely work. Always been a fan of alternate etymologies and this sure delivers
My Serbocentric thinking got me confused again lmao.
Ah neat neat.
Oh nice nice. Solid analogy.
1906 Russian Revolution and aftermath in scenario where Germany seeing an opportunity joined on the side of Japan in Russo-Japanese war. The Revolution began in January 1906 when workers of Putilov Manufactory started strike situation quickly escalated and Tsar abdicated and Provisional Government was formed and on May 1906 first free elections of Russia were held which was won by Party of Socialist Revolutionaries and Russian Republic was declared and new independent countries which emerged in chaos of Revolutions were recognized

I don't see this being very likely. Germany wouldn't go side of Japan even if it sees some opportunities. Actually even Kaiser was happy when Russia went go to beat shit out from japan or at least tried that. And it would mean that France would declare war.
In other hand this would be intresting scenario if Dogger Bank incident would escalate as the Great War. But this seems bit unlikely.
