Australia

I thought it meant Albert's Land.

As for the middle country, I suppose I'll split it in half.

Japan

In that case I'll stick with what I have.

Canada

The whole premise of my timeline is that Spanish and English colonialism is weaker in the New World, especially with the French discovering the New World and colonizing a lot of North America before the English even managed to build a sustainable colony there.

Europe

Yeah, I didn't plan on that either. I knew that would be implausible.

So you're saying Castille could pull off a Reconquista by itself? I think that's doubtful.

And with Fed I discussed the possibility of French monarch on a Spanish throne.We agreed that there could be one through A: massive intimidation. B: invasion and victory. or C: the French quenching the Spaniards by marrying some Spaniard well loved Princess or something to the new King and/or placing several prominent figures in government. I went for B and C together in a way.

Overall

That's great news.

As for the second part, with the constitutional monarchy period in France being skipped entirely and France going from the autocracy to the Terror, I'm sure any sane King would value his head (and his neck, for that matter) and flee to the colonies. I've read that there was a possibility of Charles of England fleeing for Maryland or another colony during the Civil War.

Also, another idea I just came up with: what if the Act of Settlement was never passed and all those Catholics above George II got the throne? Yes? No? Ridiculous? And another idea: What if George III lost the colonies immediately after the Seven Years' War, or even during the war, causing Britain to lose? Thoughts?
