And VOCA was also involved in voter intimidation as well as you can see in the controversies segment of the wiki.
These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England
- Thread starter CosmicAsh

Westralia is the only white-majority country on the continent. Darwin and Australia are dominions of the British Empire. All of the Aboriginal countries in Australia are... technically independent, fully and completely. The British Empire just has a series of treaties with them that more or less prevent international relations and diplomatic affairs. However, it's not that large of an issue, and for the most part are completely left alone, most of their trade is with Darwin and Australia. The Gunwinyguan Confederacy and Yolngu are generally the most independent of them all, as they do have international relations.
- Bonaparte wants to rule France.
- The Russian Empire generally opposed the British.
- Germany is dealing with them, not Prussia.
Luckily they have been existing like that for around 50,000 years - so they'll continue to bump along.
Thank you!! I was hoping someone noticed that part of the article.
Expect more non-Imperial sources in the future.
The Russian Empire has complete freedom of the press. Russian Word is not affiliated with the government at all.
Napoleon is believed to be highly popular in France.
Thank you!!!
Since Russia has press freedom, they can pretty much print whatever the hell they want. This is just the viewpoint of a single newspaper/editorial board. As for a reckoning... there has been no such movement within the Russian Empire. However, the delicate balance in Central Asia remains as it was during its initial conquest, and have generally been given more leeway -- as well as having a separate judicial system from the rest of the Russian Empire.
- France is pretty much isolated and on its own. This is by design.
- The British establishment? They'd absolutly drag their feet and would have no intention of getting bogged down in another war. The Imperial establishment? That's a different story...
- Thank you!! I am glad you enjoy reading it
Eh.... not entirelly. In reality, the Soviet Union also denounced the United States and the west as Imperalists.
It is generally speaking very liberal.
If you can believe it
This is more or less the case. The two superpowers have significant geopolitical reasons to dislike each other, and there would be tensions between the two, have been for nearly 200 years, and it's not going to stop now, especially with Russia on the continued rise.
Indeed, it doesn't matter what Russia is, they can still call the British whatever the hell they want.
That being said, it may be the Russian Empire, sure. But the connotation used in that article was not against the imperial structure of government, but the expansion of political/military control in an imperalist fashion. It's pretty much a fine line they are walking, and requires some suspension of reality in the minds of most Russian readers, but generally, the Russian Empire is good, the British are bad. That's generally the mindset.
It is a privately owned and operated newspaper out of St. Petersburg. That's all I'll say!
Bingo.
Glorious work as always!! Super jealous of the sheer scale and quality of your work
I am absolutely fascinated by the nations of the Australian continent. I imagine you're going to flesh them out in due course, but looking at the WorldA ths internal borders of Australia look complicated. What's going on with Darwin (what's it like?) and the Paman Settlements (why is it separate to Australia?). Also, has there every been an Indigenous Australian equivalent to the OTL Maori King Movement?
Thank you!!
Oh yes of course. I shall go into much more detail about the Australian continent in due time. Darwin is a densly populated port city, that is primarily focused on being the east-west link between Africa/West Asia and the Pacific. It's population reflects its extremely international position. The Paman Settlements are governed by a separate treaty, and thus are wholly independent from Australia, and that country cannot influence them outside of regular Imperial affairs.
As for any Māori King Movement equivelents... the indigenous Australians inside the (country of) Australia still have their own polieties that operate within the framework of the country. I will have much more on this soon...
Alexander Hamilton died in 1825. He remained on the Privy Council until his death.
Only time will tell...
I would say... this is the correct tone to read.
While I generally do not work on culture - I would absolutely say that this is the case.
There's not as much agriculture, yes - as well as a concentrated effort to make sure the lake levels don't get too low, it's a valuable economic source in its own right.
Every one of the controversies section dealt with VOCA, yeah.
What's the ideology behind the five Californian parties? How is the balance of power between Presidency and Cortes Generales in TTL California compared to OTL US?
How many inhabitants does California have compared to OTL? 106 congressmen seem very few.
How much power do departments and provinces have? Is there a municipal level below provinces?

How goes it on a list of US presidents? So far we know Alexander Hamilton and George Clinton, but who else before the office's untimely abolishment by President-Chairman Hogan?

Any particular reason why Acadian French is considered a separate language from European French?
I think they were occupied when the Napoleonic pretender returned, IIRC.
What's the difference, if any, between a Commonwealth and a Dominion?
It seems the British Empire still consists of a quarter of the globe. Does the German Empire still consist of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika?
That and Quebecois. I wonder if stronger assimilation policies or whatever gave a stronger Anglo influence, or the two tongues really standardized themselves in an attempt to keep unique.

RULE BRITANNIA!
Brilliant as always, @CosmicAsh.
Just one question: why does "Great Britain" not officially exist, and is composed instead of England, Scotland, and Wales? When did this change occur?
Any reason why Jamaica has a lower population ITTL? Was there an equivalent to the Windrush generation?
I think they were actually taken after the Great Continental War.

Author's Note: The flags of the Gold Coast and Uluguru were made by members of the discord server. Finally catching up with some work... I should be able to respond to questions here shortly!!

Were they? The wikipedia article for France still showed Corsica as part of the metropole, and that was before the ITL Napoleonic fracas. The lack of a local flag and representation also suggests that this annexation is a recent development.
Ah--I guess I missed that. I'm assuming the most up-to-date info is on the Discord?
