Ah, I was waiting for this-it's very exciting!
I wonder if the English or French will have a chance to establish a trading presence at the end of the 16th century. Not likely, but I think it is possible.
This was announced, and it's done most plausibly. So far, Portuguese interaction seems minimal, but you never knew how things would spiral out of control in 16th century colonialism. Great!
I love the name Lesser Cathay! It sounds so cool yet so realistic.
Of Portugal's historic settlements, possessions and colonies, only Brazil truly became a major settler colony. I doubt this timeline will be different in that respect.
A particularly beautiful yuletide chapter.
A profoundly beautiful update. The world turns, and all go about as they do.
The mentions in England particularly intrigue me. Perhaps the Anglican Tudors remain in control of the succession?
Are you sure you're not @Every Grass in Java ? Your writing style is profoundly beautiful.

My all time favorite Timeline. Highly Recommend.Lands of Red and Gold, an alternate history based around the idea of advanced civilizations developing in Australia. https://www.alternatehistory.com/wiki/doku.php?id=timelines:lands_of_red_and_gold

I am plugging away on an update.I hope this tl hasn't gone by the wayside.
Hyped. I can’t wait for the showdown between the Jevohah Mapuche and the Spaniards. I can imagine some Conquistadore just lookingout in a confused manner to see a whole bunch of Mapuche on horseback charging at the Spaniards screaming passages from the Bible.It has been too long.
Tomorrow.
