User blog:Scrawland Scribblescratch/TL Suggestions



Greetings, my good fellows, today I cometh to yonder althistorians beseeching aid in decision of a timeline. Behold the map, above, and questions many I will ask you. Answers are besought of ye national experts, yet answers are besought by ye other as well.

People who I can call experts on specific countries:


 * 1) Nuke: Russia (I'm also a Russia expert, but he's my go-to guy when I have questions)
 * 2) Callum: Australia (Who better than an Australian?)
 * 3) Kogasa: Japan (A Jap for Japanese topics)
 * 4) Chris: Canada (A Canadian, and thus...)
 * Imp: India (only sometimes XD)
 * 1) Viva: Africa (although sometimes I have to double check what he says, lol)
 * Fed: Middle East (Have you seen Saint Muhammad yet?)
 * 1) South: The South (of course)
 * LG: Almost everything

So now I beseeketh questions and answers from you folk. Questions and comments from ye folk and all ye other folk are also welcome very much. Oversizedness of nations shall not be discussed because the whole map and TL are still very much (and forever) in a state of construction.

Australia Questions
Well then, Callum and LG above everyone else helped with Australia, and I am now pleased to say that the southwest most country in Australia is Muratia (grumble grumble, but that's the best we came up with) and the one north of it is Albertstadt. The big one to the right is Australasia, and the one at the north is Novorossiya which is obviously Russian.

Question to you Callum (and everyone else, really): What are the chances of these west coast nations? Which of these nations are in pure desert and have no chance of civilization? I hear tell that the the East Coast is better in terms of living conditions and geographical location (ex: the placement of the cities along the water, maing them metropolos-like) but I really need to know which side is better.

Japan Questions
Tihs one is really aimed at everyone. As ye fellows can plainly see, all Japan owns is OTL Japan, minus the Chishima and Kuril Islands, plus the Southern part of the Karafuto Prefecture and plus Korea. So I thin it should be expanded a bit. What say ye folk? The Phillipines? Manchuria? The East Indies? RUSSIAN TERRITORY IS NOT AN OPTION FOR JAPANESE REAL ESTATE.

Canada Questions
You may have noticed by now that there is no Canada? Why and how? One answer being that the French kept their Canadian possessions. Eventually the French lost it in the chaos of the French Revolution (much like how French India was lost) and America stepped in (thank you, Thomas Jefferson) and claimed it. The rest of Canada was free pickings, until the monstrous Russian Alyeska collided with the ever growing American Canadian North. Eventually Russia lost Alyeska and America fouht a three year war with it, eventually capturing New Archangel.

But, there is one question: (I think my most critical answer will come from LG, no offense) What would be the inital reaction of the Quebecois to American annexation? Would they protest? A lot? A little? If they were forced in, would they try a secessionist movement later on?

Europe Questions
Interesting Fact: France's original revolutionary flag was really a tricolor banner, meaning it was horizontal, with a blue stripe displayed above a white stripe above a red stripe. I decided to sue that flag for France instead.

Anyways, to the questions.

If the Holy Roman Empire collapses by 1800 and Russia occupies Prussia after a long and bitter war, can Denmark seize Mecklenburg and Schleswig-Holstein?

An another thing, which is in the sandbox for now, what if Castille and Aragon never united? I have a suspicion that the Reconquista would fail, or even not happen. Then I plan to have a war of succession in Aragon, with the Dauphin of France (the Dauphin in question being the future Louis XIII) being put on the throne after France defeated England, Austria, and Castille in their efforts. And thus Aragon becomes French territory.

Overall Questions
A lot of these are likelihood questions.

What are the chances of the French letting the Aztec King survive and live in exile or something? What about the Portuguese doing the same with the Incans?

This one is also based off of one of my sandbox ideas: King Louis flees Republican France for loyalist French Mexique after the French Revolution where the Bourbons survive as the Kings of France in pretence but Kings of Mexique in reality. Does this sound possible? If not, I'll assign the Mexican monarchy to de Iturbide. Or even Imperial France.
