I'm sure it's completely logical, just curious, what made you change the OTL date format (mmddyy) to ddmmyy/ yymmdd?

Not quite. The bantustans were a fiction, created by a settler state elite in a bargain with corrupt collaborators. The independent political entities of North America were not spun-off as a facade of racial harmony, but are the original independent indigenous societies that staved off the onslaught from encroaching Whites by tooth, sword, spear, and rifle. They were ultimately compelled to come to an agreement with the United States in exchange for peace, and now have to rely on Cincinnati as a benefactor as no other country recognizes them, but at the end of the day these are separate nations.

I presume being a (former) leading global power rivaling the British Empire does things to a country.
Estonia didn't have 50 years of Soviet occupation and a resulting post-Soviet era population drop to deal with ITTL.
This is the correct answer. The movements pretty much petered out and died once they were seen as being "Pro-British" in a sense.
Source data that I've found seemed to indicate that this is what would happen. I'd be more than happy to cite this. I believe it was a US Government website.
Thank you! After this current Americas pivot, we will be turning to a more general pivot. I expect content on Africa and Europe to dominate 2024.
Less migration out, no demographic slump, and a return of Frenchmen from other European countries (Prussia, Italy, ect) once the GCW ended.
No Soviet occupation, peaceful independence in the 1940s, robust demographic growth, economic development, support from international trade. A whole host of reasons.
Cincinnati has always been Cincinnati. The city name has been unchanged, and Hamilton has always been the federal district (incidentally, it's from Hamilton County, itself a homage to Alexander Hamilton). The name was never changed.
Not at all. Bantustans didn't really exist and were forced there by the government. IPEs and other indigenous entities have absolute legal, political, and economic control over their domains. There's no U.S. Government official breathing down their neck or making decisions for them. They are only bound to the United States by shared national defence, and the fact that they consider themselves to be "American" as well. If it weren't for the defence aspect, the shared economic aspects, and foreign recognition of these entities, they would be independent on the map.
The United States adopted it along with the metric system at the same time. This United States was much closer with revolutionary France and the later French Empire, so adopting the "French rules" of time and measurements and weights was a logical step to remove itself from the Imperial units the British use (to this day!)
They've never sought it out. There's no need for them to engage in international diplomacy, or international commerce. Their territories are split up in many instances, and their people aren't monoethnically indigenous. They consider themselves American, they are autonomous to the highest degree, have a collective security pact, access to free movement, and a special status to govern themselves how they see fit. There's no reason for them to engage with it.
Canada, the closest to all of them, has no interest in recognising the sovereignty of the indigenous people because of their own internal problems. Russia isn't going to care too much about a landlocked indigenous country on the great plains. Dinetah has no real need to do anything about it, they are left alone and that's what matters. California further has no need to engage in any official diplomacy, they can do everything they need to do with a couple letters and a phone call with the officials on the other side of the border. If they wanted, it's pretty likely they'd be able to get full independence, but still remain in an economic and defensive union with the United States. Which would achieve... not much of anything except a use of time and valuable resources.
How was the demographic slump avoided? I know it happened IOTL but I'm unsure as to why it happened (and IIRC there's no real consensus between historians, don't quote me on that though) and I'm interested in hearing your interpretation as to why said slump occurred
Also, how are the Armenians doing? Seeing as they do not seem to have a state of their own
glad to see a timeline where my country isnt getting screwed over for once
Huh, I was under the impression the British lost the war, with the U.S. only loosing it’s Caribbean territories.
Wikipedia is a UK government run encyclopedia. There’s going to be a decent amount of pro-British bias.
A British resident might inquire as to how many territories Britain lost. 😛
Huh. Is there a chapter discussing about this other than the Wikipedia post?
There have been various previous posts (news, social media etc.) in the thread about the war before.
What have they estimated may make Argentina lose so much ground to then go back to the top 3 economies in 2080?
