Great to see this back. Interesting stuff. It makes sense that it would be something this simple that would see diplomatic connections established.

Just found this timeline, through the Turtledove threads, and have caught up. Very interesting so far. I'm excited to see how all these changes play out.

It's also possible that the Corsicans see themselves, through the rise of nationalism, as different enough from the mainland that they push the native Corsican hard to differentiate themselves.

It's actually a really intelligent thing to do. People are going to be more predisposed towards Theo if he seems to have shown an interest in them.

Thank you for the update. A good New Years present. I like this. Makes me think of how Philadelphia and, to a slightly lesser extent, New York City were kind of proto-capitals of the US before a new one was constructed. In this case, Ajaccio, based on its location and resources, is finally...

Speaking of the family, makes me wonder who will be the lucky one to finally snag a great power wedding match. That will be the true indicator that the Neuhoffs have truly made it as a recognized royal family.

That's interesting, though I do like that little quirk of things, even if I imagine in cultures more used to a single example not having an ordinal just calling him Frederick of Corsica for example. I see, didn't realize Henry was a dynastic name. As for the Arrigo thing, it would largely...

Interesting. So, Anglicizing the names and barring anything bad happening, the list of kings for Corsica at this time seems to be Theodore I, Frederick (I?), Theodore II, and Henry (I?). I like how Theo is more interested in/attuned to Corsica's history so he chose a name that might not have...

Should have realized there would be changes to the Barbary Wars.

Genoa isn't the eternal enemy. At this point, through the force of France and a peace treaty, they must always have diplomats with each other. It's the kind of thing where even after Genoa has been absorbed in the Age of Nationalism, if Corsica isn't also I could see the Kingdom continuing to...

Interesting that Corsica will continue to have a sizable Greek minority. Admittedly, when you talked about Corsica having a presence in the narrative of Greek's War for Independence it made me think you were partnering up with @Earl Marshal given his timeline's area of interest.

Another war like that and Corsica would be financially ruined.

You know @Math that you can press F11 in the game and it will screencap for you without having to pull out your phone.

Well, after TTL's 1848 Italy, much like Germany in OTL, became a more consolidated confederation. So, they are already in a better place than OTL.

Always happy to see this back. I know from when you asked, we will be getting a few updates on the current affairs of Greece, which makes sense given that they just got a new king and PM so a new chapter in Greek history has begun. I am still excited about what is going on elsewhere in Europe...
