Ah... I was hoping for a giant Battleford. But I suppose Edmonton is warmer.
I'm guessing it's a lot smaller than OTL though? (Was over a million people at that point OTL, a single city of 200K would probably have pushed the territory into province status.)
Central Asian Network & Defense Organization. Because that way, they have a CANDO attitude.
Well, that way you emphasize both the economic aspect and the alliance aspect. You also show their distinctive feature (even though two of the nations aren't in Asia precisely, depending how continents are defined) while maintaining both neutrality and minimizing the Persian dominance of the organization on its face. You also separate yourself a bit from the Middle Eastern Identity
That might work out nicely enough. League of Hormuz also could work if that was where the organization was founded.
Makes me wonder if that would leave to a division of the Middle East where the Persian influenced ones are actually thought of existing in a different Geographical Region as well.
This isn't directly related to the TL, but how do you make your electoral maps? I can see it's US Election Atlas style, but how do you make the different states? I'm considering starting a US-related TL, and it would be good to have high-quality electoral maps.
He probably just edits the Atlas map to make it have the states from TTL
What I'd also like to know is how he determines the electoral vote count for the alternate states.
Thanks. I guess I just have to do map editing. Would it be OK with you if I took some parts from your electoral maps? The US in the TL I'm thinking about would use some of the same state borders.
Also, I second wanting to ask how you figure out state electoral vote numbers.
Here's an idea for an Persian alliance, Coalition of Aryan Nations (CAN). I think it would make for an interesting choice since all of the nations that are involved in the Iran block are either Indo-Aryan or Indo-Persian, both groups considering themselves to be of Aryan origin. It would also make for an interesting twist on history with Hitler never coming to power since Aryan is not a term associated with German supremacy, like India's usage of the swastika.
True that word Aryan hasn't so bad reputation as in OTL but I bit doubt that it would be name of the alliance. Chechens and Dagestanians aren't Aryans at least not lingustically.
Yes, the TL is alive. I have been very busy with work lately but an update should be coming soon.
Canada is doing well. It just added an additional province, and has been going through an oil boom since the IEF disrupted global oil supplies. It enjoys close ties with the United States and the Commonwealth of Nations. Quebec separatism has flared from time to time but doesnt seem to be a serious problem. Canada has really come into its own over the last decade as a respectable middle power. While some wish to ditch the monarchy and join the Leage of American Republics most are happy with the current arrangement. Canada has demonstrated greater independence switching its official name from the Dominion of Canada to the Canadian Confederation in 2006. Talks of revising the flag have also occurred.

Great.
The US-Chinese Cold War has probably spiraled into a Democracy-Technocracy proxy conflict, from the looks of things.
