Tibby I love this list but this newfangled American spelling is hell
I second this. That conflict looks very interesting and I'd love to know more
So, what does "ICV" mean here? I assumed it means "Internal Combustion Vehicle" at first, but it seems weird that some countries would ban hybrids while allowing internal combustion-powered vehicles.
Why would newer models of ICV's be banned? If they are being regulated for environmental purposes, wouldn't the newer more efficient ones be encouraged?
What are the ideologies of these various parties?
How do the various Internets interact with each other?
How is mass transit handled? Same rules? More light rail usage?
Wait, so Acadian is its own language separate from French like how Afrikaans is to Dutch? Interesting.
Previous updates have hinted that cars are less common and mass transit is the default mode of transportation for many people. I would speculate that many of the old streetcar networks were upgraded rather than being replaced by buses, but they would serve a similar role to buses today (single or double carriages stopping frequently in mixed traffic).
Goddamn, Darwin's practically a one party state, and it looks like it's dominated by the Chinese population. 40 years of party governance is a hell of a thing.
Basically OTL Singapore but somewhat larger in area (but still dominated by a single city).
What are the ideologies of the two parties mentioned? Based on their names the ruling one seems to be basically Singapore's PAP, and the other one seems to be kind of the same thing but more laissez faire economically.
What's the difference between the institutions of Lord/Lady President and Governor-General?
Quick question in regards to the internet.
Are there VPNs available that allows people in territories not covered by the Commonwealth internet to access it?

I wonder what are the most popular ways of insulting Lorerans Hougan ITTL
Pre-1917 RevolutionAny chance we could have some OTL spellings for the American leaders? I got a few but some left me really unclear...
@CosmicAsh explained it earlier.Any chance we could have some OTL spellings for the American leaders? I got a few but some left me really unclear...
Also, sorry if this has been covered before but what happened in the US in the 1880s to cause the change of spelling?
It was a phonetic reform that occured in the mid 19th century to promote literacy and to ensure that non-English speakers (Spanish speakers in the newly acquired American Caribbean) could learn the language more easily. It has no relation to Dutch, German, or any other language, and it was a wholly American invention. It is generally regarded as being a separate language, called "American." Informally, Imperial citizens would call it Simplified English, but in formal settings it would still be American.
It's all sort of lost me a bit here.Dzorerdz Pwlman - George Pullman
George Pullman is the first U.S. President named by the new American writing system, for which the British have created a particular romanization scheme. In Philadelphic--the American writing system--President Pullman's name is written as Dիꜵrdի Pûlmɥn, but English-speaking sources transcribe that as Dzorerdz Pwlman.It's all sort of lost me a bit here.
Some of the states on the periphery have broken off. I would suspect the major global powers would prefer the USA to stay together makes it easier to control and predict for the future probably the same reason why today when it comes to Syria OTL the west would prefer Syria to stay intact, they don’t support the secessionist goals of some factions in the Syrian civil warKinda surprised the US hasn't been broken up yet.
Something along those lines. From what I understand, the Australian government has a republican party that regularly shows up in coalitions. This law is most likely to allow Australia to abolish their monarchy without damaging their ties to the British Empire as a whole.Would "republican subdivisions" be those whose governors or governors-general are directly elected instead of appointed by the British monarch?
Westralia has a particularly republican bent. This may be a way of trying to keep them on side.Would "republican subdivisions" be those whose governors or governors-general are directly elected instead of appointed by the British monarch?
If I'm not mistaken. A funny tidbit about it is that this provisional government tried to privatize everything so much that they end up being heated by the people it was supposed to govern, and the British also end up hating it because, again, they tried to privatize everything. Privatization is iirc far less common in this TL, so government control is far more widespread as a result. Another funny tidbit is the """government""" in exile located in Toronto, it's as far as I understand it, the John Birch Society, it was created after the 17 revolution and the funniest part about it is that they were not even invited to the provisional government. So they are just very angry racists stuck in Toronto while claiming to be the legitimacy government and the British are just like "Uh huh, ok" proceeds to make own government.the Empire tried to prop up in the Northeast lacked any legitimacy from the get-go,
