Just a nitpick - “commune” normally refers to a town. (The Commune of Paris was a new city administration.) Prague might be a commune but the state would probably be called something else.

I was thinking of a decentralized government made up of administrative divisions as small as towns. I guess "United Czech Communes" or "United Communes of Czechia" could work.

As a result of being more decentralized, the Czech government was less able to implement the very egalitarian policies it intended to and the country became something between Socialism and a mixed economy. It is built around market socialism where companies are owned by the state or sometimes by the small communes, but they strive to make a profit. The companies are required by law for their decisions to be decided democratically by the employees of the company. However, in 1997 people voted to greatly liberalize the country, to the point of Social Democracy.

Barcelona alternate history.png

The Barcelona Bombings led to the end of the Basque Socialist Republic. After 1933, the Republic of Spain and the Basque Socialist Republic declared an armistice. However, in 1955 the Basque government instigated a terrorist attack in Barcelona which killed over 100 people. A four month long investigation concluded that the attack was done by the Basque Socialist Republic. A war was declared on 25 February 1956. The war concluded in 1958 with the dismantlement of the Basque state and its entrance into the Republic of Spain.

Relating to my previous post, I dug around a bit and found this spectaclur map of Victoria by BuddyWudd (https://www.deviantart.com/buddywudd) which takes place in this timeline,

I live on Van isle, the northern mainland boundary should extend directly west to the island and jog north to include the Discovery Islands, not south to exclude them. They are functionally part of Vancouver Island. Kids from Quadra take a (short) ferry to the mainland for school.

What is the explanation for there still being a place called Mount Vernon? Or for Victoria still being founded in 1846? In OTL Victoria was only founded after the British were forced to abandon Fort Vancouver on the Columbia river.

If the PNW is one country, why are there still two cities called Vancouver? Why is Port Alberni named after a Spanish explorer who arrived 30 years after the POD?

Apologies if I missed any of this. I am very interested in the TL.

Just a personal opinion. I've toyed with many ideas for this region. If the whole thing goes British, I like to use "Port Albion" for Port Alberni!
