The organisation[]

The following is a current list of countries part of the  Commonwealth of Nations, a successor to the British Empire which ended with the overthrow of the United Kingdom and the establishment of the People's Union of Britain. The Commonwealth is an economic, political and cultural union/alliance with a primary goal of providing an economic base for the Dominions and colonies left in the lurch by a Communist takeover of Britain. Canada, the new home of the Royal Family after the overthrow, established the organization in September 1944, and is open to all former colonies, dominions and territories of the British Empire.

Discussion:

I personally think while the Pakistan - India border would on OTL Radcliffe line, the Gurdaspur and Firozpur districts of Eastern Punjab would also become part of Pakistan. They had a Muslim majority and control the canal links into Pakistan therefore, they have economic importance. Considering that they were originally supposed to become part of Pakistan until Mountbatten changed his mind, they should be becoming part of Pakistan in this game as well since there is no Mountbatten. The rest seems fine. BTW, what parts of Bengal are becoming independent? Like OTL Bangladesh or all of Bengal? 

I was thinking OTL Bangladesh due to West Bengal having a Hindu majority.

The Kingdom of Canada lauds Palestine for proposing a solution to this crisis, and supports the peace making process. Tbguy1992; Talk; Blog 18:02, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

As the mod who has been writing the events in India, I would like to reject this proposal proposed by Muslim traitors from the west who do not maintain the best interests of their foreign brothers at heart. Also, damn it, Sean. I'm trying to create a god damn war.                 SCRAWLAND INVICTUS || REX IMPERATOR   21:16, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not part of the Commonwealth but I just had to speak up. It is not nor should be the mod's role to start conflict and war. Wars should only occur naturally and if there is a peaceful solution agreed upon it should not be stopped. 21:21, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

Non player controlled nations are controlled by mods. If we didn't do that, they would never react to anything, which doesn't make sense.

There should be more independence movements in India since there is no British involvement or a stable atmosphere. It should be divided in languages like http://khalistannewsblogspotcom.blogspot.ca/2013/04/admittance-of-khalistan-to-u-n-p-o-p-s_5.html

or by princely states like http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=279667&page=31

There was no Khalistan Movement back in 1940s as Sikhs didn't form a majority in any province. The Khalistan Movement actually in 1980s... I personally think that Assam and Hyderabad would revolt too. Both of those nations revolted in otl and the latter was the richest and most modern Princely State in India.
