Lore Progress Tracker

A consolidated list of what progress has been made in the TL so far, and the things still are still needed to be made.

Legend

✅: Lore and write-up is concrete.

✔️: Only vague lore, needs a better write-up.

❌: No lore at all

North America

• Alaska:
  • ❌No lore yet. Survives under the premise of Russia having a stronger pacific colonial effort.
• Amerikaanse Free State:
  • ✔️ Voortrekker migration lore
  • ✔️AFS creation lore in the 1903 war is done
  • ❌ (Blank Lore) 20th Century lore is blank.
  • ❌ (Blank Lore) Need to figure out how the natives were treated by the AFS.
• Florida:
  • ✅ Early Settlement Patterns Lore Settlement pattern lore for the 18th + 19th century exists; with the Spanish importing canary islanders, Galician indentures and Filipino exiles to settle the colony between 1700 and 1790. Spanish pirates in the south until the 1750s (Great Silesian War).
  • ✔️ (Needs writeup on wiki page) They gain eastern half of South Tussenland during the 1850 Dutch-Spanish War.
  • ✔️ (Actual Dates Needed) Civil War in the 1920s between Floridano Republicans and the loyalists. NNL supports Spain while Mexico supports the republicans. Republicans win.
  • ✔️ They become a republic.
  • ❌ (Blank Lore) No post-civil war lore yet.
• Mexico:
  • ✔️ (Needs writeup on wiki page) Territorial gains in the 1850 2nd Dutch-Spanish War. Also the page is blank.
  • ✔️ (Needs writeup on wiki page) Involvement in the construction of the Panama canal with Genoa and Colombia (1890-1899)
  • ✅ Independence Arc: During the communard wars in Europe, the Spanish king flees to Mexico city and increases tension with local elites and the viceroy. Eventually he returns to Iberia when the war is over but tensions build between New Spain and Spain and leads to the viceroy declaring himself the first emperor of an independent Mexico. Mexican empire clamps down on dissent in central america and in the former boer republics.
  • ✅ Transition to Mexican Empire
  • ✔️ (Writeup unfinished on wiki page) Mexican-Dutch War Arc (1901-1903) : Tensions increase between the Dutch and NNL and leads to the Dutch-Mexican war leads to a loss of Mexican territory and a loss of prestige for the emperor. Eventually in the 20th century mexico becomes a republic and has an economic boom.
  • ✔️ (More Solid Lore Needed) Mexico's Republican Revolution and the formation of Republic in 1909.
• New England:
  • ❌ No lore yet, except during the 2nd Anglo-Dutch War (1660) where they lose their claims west of the connecticut river. Other than that, it's blank.
• New France:
  • ✔️ Becomes kingdom after monarch of France flees to New France (detailed lore for monarch's flight to New France is still on the Google doc, needs to be migrated to the Wiki).
  • ✔️ We have some revolution in the 1870s that reduces the king to simply a figurehead See Talk:New France.
  • ❌ Post revolution new France still blank. Figure out how they would fit in the cold war arc.
• New Netherland:
  • ✅ Lore is solid up until the independence of New Netherland in 1796. See: History of New Netherland.
  • ✔️ Ideas
  • ✅ Modern day government.
• Lore is built up until 1903 (Republican revolution in 1903 that gets rid of the heavily corrupt patroon system). No specific lore is built after that.
• Opdamsland: Lore is built up until John White Owl's military junta. Return to democracy lore is still blank. Also, the early lore should probably be worked out too, like how the different tribes got there in the first place. So far we have got the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Shawnee, etc who were pushed out of their homeland by the Iroquois.
• Rupert's Land: Sells a huge land area west of the Nelson river to Tussenland in 1871. The rump Rupert's Land is a british dominion until modern day and is heavily reliant on their neighbors.
• South Tussenland: It is created after the war in 1850-1855, and is basically a theocracy based on Zoekerism, and is predominantly composed of African-descent people. No real lore/events have been created yet after their creation though.
• Tussenland: Solid lore is done up until the 1861 Tussenland act and is currently being written on the wiki by User:Wannabee. We have vague lore for the creation of the other provinces as well in the future.
• Virginia: Virginia's early 'internal' lore is empty. Needed to be figured out is how the british colonies become one large blob that is Virginia. However, we do know that Virginia gets involved with three wars against britain: (1) British-Virginian War in 1830s due to Britain abolishing slavery, (2) Successfull Virginian Independence war in the 1850s (we need figure out how this ties with the rest of the TL, year is still flexible), and (3) Britain and Virginia get to war over Virginia's colony 'Salvatia' in Africa (britain believes Salvatia's presence disrupts the order in Africa).

South America

• Brazil lore: We have lore on how they broke apart. It only needs to be written on the wiki. Post breakup lore (1870s-present) still blank, but low-priority)
• Palissandria: A race of building settlements occured in the 1600s-1700s between Tuscany and France. France eventually gets axed by Tuscany indirectly, with the help of the aggressive natives who Tuscany had somehow managed to get on their side.
• Guyana: Becomes penal colony of Britain ittl.
• Carolina: lore basics to about 1850 are complete, with the British buy the Rio de la plata territory from the Spanish after the great Silesian war and early British settlement of the region complete. Post 1850 a war between argentine successionists is planned but lore is vague (missing a flag though).
• Peru: independence basics exists as does vague lore for a Colombian-Peruvian war (or 2). Existing lore needs to be reformatted for the wiki.
• Colombia: Independence lore is written in the form of discord messages abd needs to be edited and reformatted for the wiki. Involved in the race to the specific but lore is vague post independence.
• Paraguay: gains independence from viceroy of Perú when Perú gains independence but lore needs work.

Europe

1800s

• 1814: RTLPoleon is defeated. New german states are created. Austria, Russia, and the Ottomans become large powers.
• 1830s: Spring of Nations originating in Spain. Results in the independence of Colombia.
• 1870s: Communard revolution in France ignites, and spreads to Spain. Spain is ruled by communards and results in the independence of the Mexican Empire.
• Communard revolution gets crushed by the other powers (probably Russia, Austria, and Britain). Could lead to a cold war situation?
• Russia strengthens its colonial efforts on the Pacific, leading to a more settled Pacific, and Alaska. There is also a short arc of a Dutch king in russia, which could help them have a more extensive naval outlook on the pacific.

East Asia

• Qing breaks up in 1850 after a rebellion in the south (Kingdom of Canton) is supported by France and Britain. Qing was supported by the Dutch but they lost.
• There is a strong Russian influence in Japan since the 1600s-1700s and could be an extension of the "Pacific Vision" of Russia..
• Korea and Russia get involved in a war in 1930. The aftermath of this war is still undecided.

South East Asia

• Britain penetrates more deeper into south-east asia, particularly: they take Siam in this TL, and causes the Siamese vassals of Luang Prabang and Vientiane to become independent buffer states.
• Vietnam becomes a Spanish protectorate (though when is not yet established)
• Stronger Spanish presence overall (there are also ideas for a Spanish Papua)
• What happens to the Dutch East Indies after RTLpoleon and how much they even controlled in the first place is still not established.

Central and South Asia

• Because Britain has less properties elsewhere, they are deeply cemented into India/South Asia.
• A "Great Game" arc between Russia and Britain occurs after the fall of the Qing. Britain push northward and take Tibet as a protectorate, while Russia could puppet Mongolia.
• In 1890, and agreement is reached to create an independent buffer nation called 'Serindia' in between Russia and Britain. It is mostly of Uyghur culture.

Oceania and the Pacific Isles

• Colonial powers are Spain and Netherlands (coming from the North) and France and Britain (from the south). No exact lore had been created yet.
• New Zeland vague lore is being worked on with a French settler state on the south island; in the north island the musket wars continued longer than OTL and the island was unified by a maori kingdom who slowly modernized and westernized the nation similar to OTL Hawaii
