BTW, the French Air Force is going to be the world's first modern air force. Reason? France formed the world's first air force in 1910.

Also: Submarines. developed tanks at the same time as Britain (1915), Helicopters, V8 engines, etc. etc.

I have several plot lines worked out for Norway and Brazil.

Shit. That leaves Spain, Morocco, and Sweden and I have no idea who controls what.

Bisser is a German citizen, but ethnically French- he's from Alsace. He is also nowhere near the first person to base something off of Shakespeare, but change things up(this has been done so many times by so many people with so many of the plays that there should be no stigma whatsoever to doing it- as is the case OTL)... not to mention that the situations are definently comparable.

So could I keep the independent Spanish colony in Morocco and Andalusia or no?

Hey Shrill, is it OK if we do a timeskip to December 1897? Boji and Uni have told me that they don't have a problem.

Countries
(assuming no serious governmental changes currently unplanned occur in any of my countries:)

BRAZIL founded 1815
The two halves of Brazil- East Brazil and West Brazil- were united until 1891, when the country was divided over a succession dispute. For the sake of simplicity, though, the lists of Emperors will be listed separately, even though they are the same until 1891.

HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE (re)founded 1821

QUEBEC founded 1834

CONFEDERACY founded 1834

HUNGARY founded 1835

CAUCASIA founded 1835

YUGOSLAVIA founded 1838

In 1897, in an act of reform intended to make the government more inclusive, King Sviatopolk announced the creation of a National Assembly to be headed by a Prime Minister, and that this Prime Minister would take the majority of the country's executive power.

RIO GRANDE founded 1838

AL-MAYIQUH founded 1838

TEHUANTEPEC founded 1838

NORWAY (re)founded 1867

In 1912, Haakon VII was assassinated in Oslo by a group seeking the creation of a democratic government in Norway. Haakon VII's successor, Olav V, was assassinated less than a year after his coronation, plunging the country into further chaos and triggering a full-scale revolution. In 1917, King Vulfram fled to Denmark, establishing a government-in-exile there.

DENMARK (re)founded 1869

During the Crisis of 2014, the Danish monarchy announced Denmark's defection from Germany, which had refused to let Denmark(previously a puppet) elect a legislature. As a sign of defiance, Queen Charlotte announced that a Folketinget would be created immediately, elected by the Danish people.

CZECHOSLOVAKIA founded 1891

GALICIA founded 1891

In 1900, by popular referendum in both countries, Galicia united with the newly-independent Poland.

HAWAII founded 1891 but claimants to the titles Shogun of Japan and King of Hawai'i before 1891 will not be listed

POLAND founded 1899

Things to expect: Gabriel Light writing a preface to Alaric Bisser's book.

I think I'll have Belinsky write something like 7 years in Tibet, except in Afghanistan.

Don't take this the wrong way, Rurik, but your last ERB is a lot more similar in construction to one of the originals than the others.

This confuses me only because all of them have been almost identical to ERBs.

A fair enough assessment.
All right then, it's time for us to leap to December.

Seriously though, they all partially or wholly use the music of a preexisting battle.

"When I see the white snow upon the ground, I see the crimson stains.
When I hear the carols chime, so does the bell within my heart.
The smells of pine and holly sicken me so,
The spirit of Christmas is dead within me."
- "Father", Alexander Yamato, written c. 1842, published 1899

"The sins of the flesh are a dangerous game we play,
And what shall the price of our crimes be?
We are, alas, only human,
and our sins are forgiven in time,
by those who we have wronged,
and by the divine."
- "Sins of August", Alexander Yamato, written c. 1866, published 1899

"We read and write because we are human.
Humanity is filled with passion, poetry, beauty, romance, love and dreams. We live for these.
Carpe diem! Seize the day, and find your own voice!
The longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all, however,
Just know that words, ideas and dreams can change the world.
As the powerful play of the world goes on,
you may contribute a verse to it."
- "Find Your Voice", Alexander Yamato, December 24, 1897

"Alas, I am but the King of Fools, Ruler of None, but I leave you with this.
Cast your eyes to the summer sky,
and today, make a wish,
for tomorrow you may not have that chance."
- Final words of Emperor Alexander, 4 July 1898

"Only in dreams can men be truly free,
'Twas always thus, and always thus will be."
- Alexander Yamato, The Poems of an Emperor, 1899
