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.

North America

• Alaska: No lore yet. Survives under the premise of Russia having a stronger pacific colonial effort.
• Amerikaanse Free State: Lore for the Voortrekkers is done, AFS creation lore in the 1903 war is done. But still needs to be written on the wiki. 2nd Boer War (conflict in the 90s) is on hiatus until the rest of the countries are figured out (especially Mexico).
• Florida:
• Mexico:
• 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, its pretty blank.
• New France: Becomes kingdom after monarch flees to New France. 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.
• New Netherland: 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:
• Peru:
• Colombia:
• Paraguay

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.
