Monarchs of France
An asterisk (*) denotes a biologically different person than OTL.
 * 1) (1462-1515). Generally unaffected by the POD, except he confirms validity of the Pope in Avignon; no heirs.
 * 2) (1494-1547). Generally unaffected by POD.
 * 3) (1519-1564). Just barely missed being a different person. Establishes . Does not die in an accident and lives a few more years.
 * 4) * (1542-1588). Now things start to change. Not only is he a different person, but he also does not suffer from such diseases and complications as in OTL. He is still betrothed (to help promote the ) to Mary of Scotland (different person as well), and wouldn't you know it, they survive long enough to produce a male heir fit to be the King of France and Scotland.
 * 5) * (1567-1616). King of France and Scotland. Leads peace between the Catholics and Huguenots. Here, the Bourbons don't gain power in France. The Valois are here to stay!

HRE notes



 * Brandenburg and Prussia do not unite, as the Prussian Duke has a son.
 * No War of the Julich succession (again, a male heir); remains as a united duchy
 * Brandenburg is less successful than OTL due to its conflicts with Bohemia and Poland. Also, without the war in Julich, it does not gain as many territories.
 * Sweden is more successful in the war, despite having to face several fronts, and gains all of Pomerania. Denmark does not exit the war like OTL, wanting to protect the Reformist states in the HRE, and gains land in the north.
 * A lot of in-fighting between many of the states, but mostly to little territorial avail and most of the territorial changes return to their pre-War boundaries.
 * Switzerland, Latium, Naples, and the English Netherlands are removed from the Empire.
 * France gets pretty much the same small duchies they did in OTL.

18th century plans

 * Some notable expansions:
 * Denmark — "Vinland," West Indies, Gold Coast, India, East Indies
 * Persia — Kazakh Khanate
 * Russia — Siberia, "Alaska"
 * TO DO: The Northern Wars: wars involving fluid alliances, catastrophic results, and the end of Russian power in Europe.
 * French constitutional monarchy
 * Reestablishment of Greek state
 * English financial crisis with the onslaught of a civil war over religious succession near the mid-century (think of the French Kingdom around this time OTL -- similar to this). Big mess for England as the colonies in Borealia gain independence
 * Big advantage for Marathas as they defeat Mughals and gain power
 * Sikh Empire is born
 * Thoughts of establishing a Native Borealian territories arise
