Like my Guns of the South extension idea, I suspect that this will become a one man show soon...
I really like nation lists and national profiles, so this is the first thing that I’ll make for the fan-extended The Peshawar Lancers project.
“It was still the British Raj, although you simply said the Empire; that was like referring to the Club in Peshawar, with no need for further qualification. Technically there was a mort of empires in today’s world; the East Asian colossus that Akahito ruled from Peking as Mikado and Son of Heaven; the Czar’s hell-born cesspit in Central Asia; the shadowy dominion centered on Rio de Janeiro that was reigned over by Dom Pedro and ruled by the caudillo of the month. Napoleon VI’s own Algiers-centered imperium around the western Mediterranean. There was also the Caliph in Damascus, of course; he did rule from the Danube to Baluchistan, even if he was a wog. Kali alone knew what titles savage chiefs in the interiors of barbarian Europe and the Americas and Africa used.” -pg. 44
Angrezi Raj (Delhi) [Lion Throne]
Dai-Nippon (Peking) [Dragon Throne]
Russian Remnant (Samarkand) [Serpent Throne]
Brazilian Empire (Rio de Janeiro)
France-outre-mere (Algiers) [I’d call it the Rooster Throne, since it’s the national emblem]
Caliphate of Damascus (Damascus)
Kingdom of Madagascar (Antananarivo) [Lemur Throne, anyone?]
Sultanate of Egypt (Cairo)
Batavian Republic (Batavia)
Free Cities of California
Those are the only confirmed sovereign (the last three are pretty borderline) nations from The Peshawar Lancers.
New ones in the fan-expanded universe (by me):
United States of Mexico (Mexico D.F.) [bilingual state similar to the USM in Robert Sobel’s For Want of a Nail, except more grim and unstable.
Republic of Argentina (Mar del Plata) [one of the two prominent fan-made TPL maps suggests an independent Argentina. While I dispute that, story-wise I guess we can have a strong caudillo taking power in the southern region of South America.]
Five-Tribe Nation (Muskogee) [the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw, and Seminole were some of the few peoples whose ways did not devolve to neosavagery. After the Fall, the tribes banded together along with former Confederates and some state militia remnants to fight off refugee hordes at great cost, but were ultimately successful in protecting the land approximately corresponding to OTL Indian Territory- by the twentieth century, they were able to expand somewhat outwards. There hasn’t been much contact between them and the Raj yet, but there are of course rumors of a powerful tribe in the middle of North America.
NOTE: I’m not sure if this nation is realistic, since even if they survived the agricultural disasters, they’d still have to contend with cannibal mobs. I was going to create an Iroquois state, but I decided that by OTL 1878 they were long-gone, anyway.]
I’m sticking with Stirling’s original ideas- whether by environmental disaster or by human nature, massive depopulations occurred in North America. So there aren’t necessarily going to be many “U.S. Government-In-Exiles” or “New Dixies” or “Texan Republics” worth a damn for the fanlist. Also, try to be creative in thinking of what kind of new governments that would be created post-Fall.
Any ideas for the name of the thrones of the other empires? I wonder what the old Muslim caliphates named their seat (haha) of power.
Also, add in your own ideas for other nations.
