Huh. Who would have thought a Shah and a Baseball player had so much in common?
I give the IEF five years. I think Elizabeth II is not that young and as soon as she goes the stability of the IEF goes. Just my two cents though.
Eh, it all depends on her successor. IIRC it was mentioned a while back the Crown Princess is quite liberal; could that lead to a Monarchist-Nationalist split? Basically the Romanovs are the IEF's ticket to survival, because being united under the Monarchy is the IEF's raison d'être. But yeah, Motherland is quite clearly mutually exclusive with the survival of the IEF.
There might be some division with monarhicsts. Some might even try someone male Romanov to throne.
Those people then would probably use the male as a figurehead for the Motherland Party. Hell, they might even call Elizabeth II's whole line illegitimate.
You know, if conservatives tried to do deny her the throne, and you had a willing member of the family backed by enough relatives, you might see a dynastic clash, and the disgruntled minorities would even be supportive of Elizabeth's line. Cue old fashioned civil war.
Of course this is what would happen is things truly spiraled out of control. There is no guarantee this would happen.
Another question, what's the consensus on colonialism in this world? It seemed to have positive effects at least in German Cameroon and South Africa (the British broke the power of the pro Apartheid crowd) and thus it isn't a universal diasaster. So yeah, what's the consensus?
Sounding good
Less so. More and more IEF news each update...
Quite the butterfly; OTL the hurricane season was pretty light. Wonder if this will lead to calls for secession in any Caribbean states. What are the demographics like in these compared to OTL?
Greater heights... Building height race?
Well that's one way to keep the empire together.
Well fuck those guys.
Wow, what a great bunch of feedback and speculation. As we can all tell the is a full blown political crisis brewing in the IEF. For the record, the Elizabeth II has been on the throne since 1962 and is getting up there in age. I haven't mentioned anything about her offspring yet. We will have to wait and see how this plays out.
Some major human rights groups ITTL include the E Pluribus Unum Society, Better World Society, International Foundation for Human Freedom, and the Guiding Light Organization
Well the PM didn't get blamed as much as the American President did but Great Britain is having a bit of a "malaise" problem.
