Talk:Duchy of Lancaster (1983: Doomsday)

Go Ahead
Looking at maps, in 2010, virtually the entire County of Lancashire is unclaimed, so you can go ahead! Though the North of England is starting to look crowded. Bob 16:13, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I can see what you mean. Then again, it makes sense given that most of the nukes were aimed at the south of England so most of the survivours would be in the north. Plus the number of English nations in TTL is about the same as the number of kingdoms during the Anglo-Saxon period (two of them, Northumbria and Cleveland, even occupy more or less the same areas as their Anglo-Saxon equivalants and are repeating history by unifying), so there is a precedent. Personally I'm wondering if we're going to end up re-creating the hepetarchy, which would be sort of neat.Tessitore 21:19, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

you may want to know that Owen1983 has set up a state around Bury--Smoggy80 18:03, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know, and I've told him that Bury is part of Lancaster's territory. Judging by the latest addition to the article in question, I don't think he's got the point. Tessitore 00:23, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

my new state is within the borders of the duchy
IMV both state are in the same pickle and bury was historically acotiate with lancasher the two states could cooperate --Owen1983 12:15, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Tess doesn't recognize it as existing, and it's already been marked as obsolete. Let it go.

Owen, we've already gone over this. One, Bury is too close to Manchester and would probably have been evacuated and/or abandoned. Secondly, even if there was a community formed in Bury, it would have been absorbed into Lancaster quite early on. Or to put it another way, I've called dibs on Lancashire, go find somewhere else to form a nation.Tessitore 19:53, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Morecombe and Blackpool
these seaside town could be come ports for the duchy --Owen1983 12:21, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Already thought of that. Morecombe and Blackpool themselves probably aren't much use as ports, however there are existing ports at the nearby towns of Heysham and Fleetwood. There's also a river dock at Preston which would be used for seafaring ships as soon as the radiation from Warton Aerodrome died down (oh Google, how I love thee)Tessitore 14:49, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Graduation
Is this thing good to go yet? I mean, it's being mentioned on other pages so it's being almost treated as canon already. If there's anything that needs changing before it can be graduated, please let me know so I can fix it.Tessitore 14:49, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Articl Merge
is it ok to merge Life in the duchy of Lancaster with the main Lancaster article --Owen1983 13:11, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it's not. I'll have a look through the article and see what fits but no merging. As I've already told you, Lancaster is mine, I created it so I get to decide what goes into it, barring continuity issues and anything else that gets vetoed by the other contributors of course.Tessitore 14:44, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
