We all know about Harry Turtledove and Richard Dreyfuss' 1995 alternate history novel The Two Georges, where the OTL United States and Canada and Mexico's Baja California peninsula (barring Alaska, which is still part of the Russian Empire and Hawaii, which is a separate British protectorate) are taken up by a self-governing dominion within the British Empire called the North American Union.
In the novel before the story begins, there are two maps. One map is of the world while the other is a map of the North American continent. I noticed that the Bahamas were not marked on either map. However, the islands were lined inside the North American Union, showing that the Bahamas are part of it, though no name is shown on the North American map.
My question about the Bahamas is basically that if the Bahamas are part of the North American Union, are they there own province or are they perhaps part of the province of Florida, given their small size and close proximity? Could it be possible that the Bahamas are not of the North American Union at all and are instead a separate British colony or protectorate (similar to Hawaii in the book)?
