Our Fair Country: The Commonwealth of New England

I would’ve voted for the compromise option.

Does Area 51 still exist in this TL?

Well, looks like Maine chose the better flag. Both of those other flags look rather dull.

Yeah, so would I.

Apart from just removing the English text, I don't see anything wrong with the original. However, I also would have voted for the compromise option.

Me too.
However I would say each has a different North American flavour:
A) New England
B) Canada
C) Midwest US
So the NE one won in my view

And so ends the life of the California-style Maine flag, with suitable in-universe reasoning.

@Kanan, let me ask you a question, who are the astronauts in the Newton-Maponos 5 where the British was became the first nation to perform the manned lunar landing mission?

Where were the Commonwealth Lunar missions launched from?

The Caribbean, maybe? Somewhere close to the equator?

Stepped back into this thread after a bit away. I'm always blow away by the depth of work that's put into this TL. Amazing.

@Kanan , what is the proper term for the chief executive of the major cities in New England? Is it Mayor, Lord Mayor, or something else (I know it was Lord Mayor for Brooklyn, but I'm thinking Providence, Boston, Halifax, and Hartford specifically)?

Fuck that is beautiful

The mention of Trooping the Colour is interesting. Whilst I'm sure they have at least some ceremonial scarlet uniforms as in Canada, do New England have any particular regiments employed as ceremonial guards as with the British Household Division, the Canadian Grenadier Guards, etc, and if so, what are these?
