Great TL so far! Sad not to see any ratites but I guess they can't be everywhere. Seems likely that any large flightless bird would be hunted to extinction by the first Europeans though so maybe to be expected.

On the ridings map of Brooklyn, both 16 and 69 are labelled as "Flatbush"

The writing system of the entirety of the Balkans and Anatolia could be different. Without the Arabic script moving into the Balkans and displacing older systems, the Balkans could be writing in the Cyrillic, Latin, or the extinct Hellene alphabets like they used to. With influences from Al-Rum...

Who was the first person to walk on the moon and on Mars? Sorry if I missed it in the above section but I didn't see it written anywhere.

I think a lot of these arguments could be made about Scotland and Ireland pre Act of Union. They were all independent nations with their own histories, political systems, and languages before hand, but after became unified under the same government and the language diffused outwards. I don't...

If they could reach parts of Australia they could possibly do well, if they bring their knowledge of farming and horseback riding (alongside the required domesticates). Eastern Australia seems like a reach, but possibly reaching the areas around Perth could do well for them. Its relatively...

This time it can safely be assumed that its not his fault I think though. Now he's just dragged down by Neil.

But per the Treaty of Paris after the Revolutionary War, the Americans legally controlled the Northwest, if they didn't in practice. The results of 1812 was more an enforcement of the prior treaty to avoid another war and so Britain could focus on Europe, not the US taking the land, even if the...

What sport are the Boston Dynamics, and why are they not only moving out of Boston, but out of the country as a whole?
