I look forward to more butterflies Also Avon river, Chetwood, Bree hill, and Ardskednosh point. The last the same word in English, Norse, Gaelic, and probably in Pictish....
Edit: Ardskenish Point seems to be the spelling. Sorry.

They like Belorussian as dialect of Russian. In OTL Belorussian recognised as its own language on early 20th century.
No, but I would love to see one. The current Prime Minister is Niles Mbete of the Liberal Federalist Party.
ITTL it was considered but like Don and the Crimea it stayed part of Russia as a concession to conservatives.
In that case, I did some of the work for you:
1. Pieter Visser (Afrikaner Bond) 1910-1918
2. Sir David Miller (Federal) 1918-1929
3. John Warner (Citizens' Bond) 1929-1934
4. Hendrik de Graaf (Federal) 1934-1936*
5. Willem Jansen (Federal) 1936-1941
6. Nicolaas Dekker (Citizens' Bond) 1941-1949
7. Sir Michael Parker (Federal) 1949-1956
8. Jan van Leeuwen (Citizens' Bond) 1956-1967
9. Niles Mbete (Liberal Federalist) 1967-present

Very cool! Any thoughts as to the parties positions? Also would an Afrikaner be the first PM right after the defeat of the Boers?
It's not intentional. Thanks for pointing it out. It never has really been discussed ITTL who owns the Kurile Islands. What do y'all think?
My thoughts for positions of South African parties from right to left: Afrikaner Bond, Citizen's Bond, Federal, Liberal Federalist.
I bit too suspect that Boer can be first prime minister so soon after Boer War. But in OTL too first prime minister of South Africa was Boer too. But perhaps Visser was pro-British enough that he was acceptable for Brits. And perhaps Brits would want accept Boer prime minister that it wouldn't cause too bad blood with Afrikaners.
That is good question. In OTL Russia and Japan haven't clear deal about Kurile Islands. But it would be possible that Russia would get them on peace between Japan and Russia. And these are just these islands what Russia demand on 1860's. So that is good for me.
The Citizens' Bond is a right-wing party that is a standard conservative party*. The Liberal Federalist Party is a left-wing party that came into being with the merger of the Liberal and Federal parties**.
*Think OTL's National Party without the racism.
**The Liberal Federalist Party is to the left of liberalism, but to the right of libertarianism.
To the right of what kind of liberalism? Because that ideology covers virtually anything depending on who you ask. Most definitions of liberalism can be neatly summarised as centrist to centre-right, which makes your claim that a party to the right of liberalism is left-wing seem a bit odd.
Sorry, I misread that. My point's even more valid now though - libertarianism is a pretty right-wing ideology, and I fail to see how a party could be to its right but to the left of American "liberalism".
Put it this way: Citizens' Bond is right-wing, Liberal Federalist is left-wing. End of story.
