Thanks. Japan is preparing for an attack on Indonesia, I just didn't want too much to show on the map. And the US ITTL no longer exists. It is now the UPRA, which doesn't have much interest in the Pacific, actually, but the Japanese think they do. The Russians are definitely interested, though
The Spanish government has been in power in South America for over 200 years, ever since Napoleon took over Spain proper. The colonists are used to it by now
No I meant how are the people in SA reacting to the new government in the Spanish homeland? Are there any links between the two?
How is Portugal reacting? Who is in charge of Brazil?
There have been virtually no links between New Spain and French Spain, but the Spanish monarchy supports Franco and the fascists. For the most part, the last two hundred years have been peaceful, but with insurgency groups occasionally popping up in Iberia and Italy. Franco and Mussolini's rebellions have proven exceptionally strong compared to other rebellions, mostly because of British and German aid. I haven't given much thought to Brazil, though
Not actually part of the story, but a bit on how the government works:
Like the United States before it, the United People’s Republic of America, commonly known as the UPRA (Like OTL USSR), the People’s Republic (Like Soviet Union in OTL) or simply America (Like OTL Russia), has a three-branch government, with separate executive, legislative and judicial branches, though they are all interrelated. Though the Constitution of the UPRA makes Socialist ideals the law of the land, most other parties are legal in the states, though they are banned at the Commonwealth or Republican (Federal) level or if they promote fascist, racist, sexist or capitalist ideals. The Premier is elected to be head of the executive branch by the Commonwealth People’s Councils, or the Senates, on behalf of the people within their commonwealths. The two most senior members of the Commonwealth People’s Council are also members of the Supreme People’s Council of the Republic, or the Senate, where they represent their commonwealth. Each Commonwealth is a federation, taking certain powers away from the states, but leaving others still up to them. Other than the 2nd Amendment, the original Bill of Rights is still intact. The government holds a monopoly over every industry in the nation. There is a set minimum wage that can be adjusted for inflation. There is a welfare system for the sick, disabled and elderly. However, it is generally believed and accepted that the Communist Party rigs elections to constantly win. They also reserve the right to ban opposing parties, which they have done in multiple states. During war and other times of emergency, the Premier has absolute power, and can rule similar to a Roman dictator until the emergency is over. This ability was used by Premier Joe Steele during World War II and throughout much of the early Cold War.

Thanks. What time period are you talking about for annexation of Manchuria and Liaodong? If you're asking about back in the early 19th Century, when the OTL USA was expanding, it's because Russia isn't really very expansionist. I like parallels, but only a few, so it doesn't become a cut-and-paste. Right now, during WWII, then it's because Russia is still just emerging from the Great Depression and doesn't want to get involved in another war.
OK. If Russia isn't expansionist then it makes sense.
But it is hard to them be isolationist when everybody was expanding and colonizing and being major power.
Quebec was very dependent on the USA and France, and when America went red, it essentially became a French puppet. When the Germans took most of France, the Quebecois were forced to let them land there or be completely cut off from supplies
Russia already has a lot of land, and they are using their abundance of natural resources to quietly build up their economy and military. There's been a few small conflicts in central Asia, but nothing major.
It is the year 1942...
The Russians manage to hold off the invading German army from Poland, while the Free French forces are pushed back, only barely managing to stay in control of Paris.
In the Pacific war, the Japanese take the Philippines, much of Indochina and Australia. However, the Australian rebellions slow them down, giving the Americans a chance to rebuild their damaged navy.
After the loss of the Philippines, the French declare war on the Japanese, but are in no position to do anything.
When Denmark falls to the Germans, the British occupy Iceland and Greenland, planning to annex them and recreate the British Empire. They then decide to retake their old empire. All of it. The British look greedily towards America and plan to retake America and Canada and bring them back into the Empire. British troops land in Ontario, assisted by Canadian nationalists. The European War has come to America.

Which part, the British trying to retake America? Remember, this is barely five years after the Red Revolution, which severely weakened America. The Attack on Pearl Harbor crippled the Navy and brought America into the Pacific War. Plus, Canadian Nationalists are active in America and would willingly support the British. The fascist British don't really see America as a credible threatLol what? Yeah cause this makes sense
QUESTION:
How does japan take even MORE then they did in otl depite facing two nations not at all distracted? Australia and Indonesia, Indonesia being even larger and more powerful then in otl, with a larger (Pobebly English trained) Armed forces and Australia. Have you even been to Australia? Because it's big, as big as the US. Now, benefit of the doubt lets say that Aus has little to no navy, so Japan can occupy the ports with out worrying about that. How do they get inland? There are some roads but these can be sabotaged. Australia is like another China, only worse, cause it has snakes and it's really hot. There is a reason why Japan never thought that invading all of Aus was a good idea in ww2.
Australia was demilitarized after WWI by the Americans and they have yet to build up a powerful military. Sorry about the maps, I should have made it clearer that the Japanese only have the coastlines, not the inland.The Australians fighting back against the Japanese is actually part of the reason the Allies win this alternate WWII. I'm working on anothre update right now, but you'll see that the three major Allies are either distracted or having to fight on multiple fronts
