Brazil has not had a fun time in this timeline. There was a nasty civil war in 2011 that caused the fall of the Sixth Republic, and the Seventh Republic (technically South Brazil) is on its way out. Amazonia gained its independence thanks to Ecuador, and the three other states (Maranhão, Pernambuco, and Paraíba) broke away thanks to an intervention by the US, who was very wary of seeing a resurgence of war communism into the world so soon after Eurasia fell in the Millennium Crisis. The reunification of China under the democratic faction plays into this sentiment too.how do the Brazilian North States gain independence?
thanks for answering my questionsQuite so!

That makes me think, how differently has the history of Mormonism unfolded with a POD right in the middle of its critical early period?- Donner City is Salt Lake City.
Yep! Thanks to major and continued government investment through TransAm, trains have retained their competitiveness for long distance travel and freight.Is the use of traveling by train still popular in the present in TTL?
I was originally assuming that, based on the Erie Gauge War and the British Gauge Wars in OTL being relatively bloodless, the American Gauge War would be too, but thanks to your comment I will say that indeed blood was shed over which track gauge would be dominant in the US.Knowing this timeline, I wouldn't be surprised if the Gauge War had a body count attached to it as well.

Yes! Mayor Horn used the chaos to attempt to invade Staten Island, which caused the vast majority of the casualties from the crisis. After that, the crisis was largely fought in the courtroom.Did the Twin Fires have any effects on the Staten Island Crisis?
Reminds me a bit of Shadowrun.
Is that an American Guiana to Brazil’s north?Quite so!

In universe - President Teller inflames quite a bit tensions in the NY-NJ area, being from New Jersey himself but favoring New York quite a bit. Staten Island, long underfunded, neglected, and opposed to Teller, goes rogue in coordination with Eastern Long Island. Staten Island succeeds thanks to New Jersey's support, while Eastern Long Island fails due to the opposition of Connecticut.With the Staten Island Crisis:
a) why did this happen
b) are new york political parties just as weird as otl
No, that's Surinam. I never noticed the similar coloration until you pointed it out - apparently it's the NCS color for Surinam.Is that an American Guiana to Brazil’s north?
This largely stemmed from a combination of it being 100 years since Shackleton's death and a book I read as a child that talked about Scott's last expedition. It's a tragic episode of history that's really stuck with me, particularly the fact that Scott was so close so many times - he was just a month late to beating Amundsen, and died well on his way across the Ross Ice Sheet, so very close to a supply depot.Serendipitous timing, I just finished reading South! a few days ago so I've still got Shackleton and Antarctica swirling around my brain. That degree of ramshackle jury-rigged messiness sounds exactly like TR, though, and the mention of the Russian incident in Tokyo Bay only piques my interest more, along with the 'First Heroic Age of Exploration'. What's the Second? An alternative space race, or Venus?.
Anyway, this was great fun and right in that uncanny-valley sweet spot this series has nestled itself into, I'm always eager for more.
The nation that controls St. Petersburg is the National State of Ingria, a Finnish puppet and member of the Sparta Protocol. To the south is the Republic of Novgorod, a member of the European Safety Network. Both broke from Russia after the Millennium Crisis.Looking at the map, what is the country located in Petersburg and south to it?
