Found a brief reference in John McNeill's Mosquito Empires to a tentative proposal by Dundas of offering St. Domingue to Catherine the Great in 1796 as an incentive for Russia to join the anti-French coalition.
18th century Jamaica for the British has got to be mentioned: Matthew Parker estimated that Jamaica per capita income among white settlers was more than £1,000 per capita in 1774. Jamaican participation in illicit trading with Spanish colonies was also vital to supplying specie to other parts of...
Thank you! It's been an enjoyable bit of exam stress relief so far.
Vancouver Island is *Mexican yeah; the Spanish had slightly more success and time in settling their northern claims ITTL with only really slightly disinterested Russians to compete with until the British Empire Exiles came...
Progress report & comparison with the old version. Decided to make the British Republic into much more of an isolated pariah rather than the strangely parallel development I tram-lined it into first time. Still a little unsure with having 'Canada' have a pocket of Louisiana but the colour match...
Very early WIP of a complete rebuild of one of my earliest maps; long story short averted British gain of Canada leading to British revolution and cadet line of the monarchy in LTTW-esque colonial exile. Revolution somewhat like a mixture of abolitionists and Chartism.
The project was originally for a TL that I am working on but given university pressures its been fairly substantially delayed. Hopefully will make some progress over Christmas. I think the final equivalent is going to include Caribbean constuencies but I wasn't able to find maps of the British...
Certainly as one of the initial contributors I think any improvements should be welcomed. I might have been guilty in my 'fix' of the British Isles of exacerbating the tendencies you mention.
WIP of a ~2200 future world combining some of the ideas of my earlier 'Now-punk' WIPs. To make it obvious this isn't what I think is likely to happen but rather taking perceptions and amplifying them along with some background changes. Basic idea is that the Northern Hemisphere looses its...
In 1807 the British had just invaded the River Plate area for the 2nd time and were defeated in Buenos Aires in some fairly gnarly urban warfare; this caused them to withdraw garrisons from OTL Uruguay as well when they left. This decision was why Whitelocke was court-martialled. So WI the...
Probably the most implausible concession I made to the conservative opposition was not formally dividing the larger counties; in any following reform acts I think that would probably occur probably into 2-3 seat divisions. I expect a rationalisation of the Districts eventually with rotten Burgos...
With a few slight alterations it's going to form an update in a TL if I ever get around to writing it, although in that TL the West Indies are also given county and borough seats to compensate the slave holding/sugar interests. Probably could have just explained the changes but I wanted to be...
