The Union Forever: A TL

Did you notice that many of your older images have either been dehosted or had their links blocked? Shame.

Yeah, I saw that when I was looking through some of the earlier chapters.

A lesson for us all to remember: ALWAYS host your own images. Imgur is great, but I'm not sure how long the images last (I've heard 6-9 months with no activity) so something like Deviantart might be even better.

Doesn't just putting it on the site work?

You can also create a blogger account for free and keep the images in posts there, works remarkably well I've found
 
Just finished read this great TL.
A few question is the world still on a Gold standard or has it moved to a Fiat currency?
What is the main school of economics used in the world ?
Keynesian or Austrian? or something else?
or are both used with some countries going of one or the other?
Is World trade controlled by tariffs and trade barriers or is it relative free of tariffs and trade barriers.
With Probation not happening whiskey business in Ireland should be much larger that OTL and Irish whiskey should be much more popular in the states.
Also I think there would be a lot more regional breweries in the US as they were not shut down by probation.
Does the US have a very large prison population as it had OTL?
With the Indians get a better deal than OTL did they manage to save bison in much larger number that OTL.
It would be nice to see bison product being a major export for the state of Sequoyah.
Without Communism happening in Russia it should remain a major grain exporter reducing the price of grain and the incentive to expand grain growing in to arid areas in the US. Without all that ploughing it should reduce the effect of the drought of the 1930 that created the dust bowl.
Did the US change its immigration laws like it did in 1967 OTL if not it could mean a lot more Irish and European immigration to the US.
Is illegal immigration in the US as large as OTL or are there easier options for legal immigration?
I could see William Joyce(lord Haw Haw) becoming a broadcaster in Ireland.

I think that illegal immigration to USA from Latin America isn't so big problem as in OTL when Latin American countries are much stabler and probably economically on better state.
 
I'm glad the Germans are good enough sports about the Space Race to make a gesture like the Columbia statue. It sounds like quite the event even by OTL standards! I just hope nothing too bloody results from the Polish debacle that seems to have been brought about.

Indeed. Although the space race has been a point of contention and America and Germany have their political differences, the two countries are both democracies and historic allies.

Yep, the TL's bicentennial was a bigger deal than OTL. This is mostly due to an all around better national mood, as Vietnam and Watergate soured OTL's bicentennial. As for Polish independence, the movement has waxed and waned over the years but the Columbia Statue incident certainly rejuvenated interest.

Immigration for Latin America might be legal in this TL. There are a lot of Jobs that Americans do not like to do, so there is still going to be a need to import workers to work on farms and other jobs not popular with Americans.

It does, but it gets tricky to put multiple images in one post. you could open a test forum thread and host your tl images there, but you still have the daily image limit.

Yes, I have noticed that some photos have disappeared. Question, how do I host my own images?

Hello Belfast, thanks for your support. Great questions! I will try and answer them over the next few days. Cheers!
