Well! It's been 2 exciting years so far since I first embarked upon this journey wholesale with a thread. To celebrate this occasion, I have compiled a map of the world as it stood one hundred years ago (and minus 10 days). I do hope this will help ground some of the concepts that guide Our Fair Country more, and as always, feel free to ask questions! I'll respond to earlier questions as well. But most importantly, thank you all for spending these last two years reading, commenting, and enjoying this timeline. On to the next year!
Do you mean when you tackle Yugoslavia in autumn? I would love more information on this!
Was Britain ever allied with the USSR during the Cold War?
Wait, so was Egypt a true colony of Britain, or was it the nominal province of the Ottoman Empire that in practice was under British rule that it was in OTL?
What's going on in Guyana, Ecuador and Paraguay that leads them to being so low down on the Freedom Index?
Also who rules Kurdistan, and how can it stay so authoritarian in the sea of democracy that is TTLs Middle East? Is it one of the few allies of Israel, or has it allied with the (presumably immensely rich ITTL, too?) Gulf states? And what is up with Indonesia?
Search function is your friend, use it.Why's South Africa not green???
@Kanan Is Ireland not gonna be part of the AES, because I don't see them in the blue box in the top right corner?
So are we going to see a United States of Europe before OTL? Get that Imperial federation set up too, and we can have superstates for all
Good to see that a lot of the Third World is doing better than in OTL, but amid recent news this makes me wonder what Bolivia and Iran are like ITTL.
Neat! Did the USSR join the AES or did it just sign the Treaty of Oslo?
It's no doubt different in this world, but in OTL France the signing of treaties and decisions relating to this kind of sovereignty have almost always been associated with the Presidents of the Republic.
Given that in TTL the French president is Asselineau, who in OTL is to French ultra-sovereignism what Alex Jones is to American conspiracism, the signing of this treaty may seem kinda surprising, even if the Cherpion government would support it, there could be a blockage at the presidency level.
How is this treaty globally seen in France? Are there any attempts to block it? What could be the consequences of this signature? How did this get accepted ?
