As a fellow player, I would suggest dropping Cornwall simply because (mainly) a) it’s not Gaelic to my knowledge (being closer to the Welsh side of the tree) and b) it’d be pretty difficult to defend from whatever holds England

Of course it’s a super nit picky suggestion so feel free to ignore it

Ha good eye that's actually exactly why I took it. I intend to say that they did it as a power play against the English. A reminder that they are close in case they want to try something.

Tell me if this is okay, cause I ain’t gotta clue

I'm going to consult with Finland SSR about our shared history before I continue to develop Colombia

SCP Institution already kinda claimed the entirety of the British isles more or less so this isn't really workable unless you get a deal with him.

Tag, I'm interested in something American, either Canada-Quebec area, Brazil, or something either in Peru-Bolivia or La Plata. Can I get a sitrep on who colonized where when?

Unfortunately, my decision of accepting SCP's claim over the British Isles might be overturned by the other OP's. Like I said, we have high standards for those territories, and SCP hasn't been able to provide a concept for his nation yet.

Canada-Quebec might be claimed by !Britain, but as I said above, SCP's claim over it might be refused. Argentina was claimed last page by what I believe to be a Catalan/Spanish/Romance former colony, Peru was claimed by a Colombia.

So middle Brazil between purple splotch and brown stuff is still available?

Very much so

Leetus yeetus. Who are my neighbors in South America? Mad that Brown Splotch stole the sugar trade but hopefully I can still bank on Brazil's other resources.

Speaking from my memories, the north is some sort of a free slave state, the south is a colony of Brittany.

And Venezuela from my reading is a formerly Spanish colony under Swedish oversight...?

Yep, Sweden bought it from Spain or something

And Greater Guyana is basically the Hatian Empire, currently on my northern border, and inciting rebellions.

Yes and quite possible

*Concerned pioneer noises*
So who would like an ex-colony in Brazil?

[Finland SSR]

I mean, I can have Spain have one if you want.

Frankly don't really care because it saves me from writing my own history allows me to sync up better with other players. I would think that the French/Wherever the Guyanans came from would have de-jure claim, or colonised it first.

If not, I could be a real Chad and make an empire near a lake in Chad.

That would work for me: a French-speaking Reformed republic in Brazil would certainly be a fun departure from our history. When and how would your country have achieved independence?

Isn't France already a Reformed Republic in Europe? Maybe all the Catholics went to Brazil. When/how/where did the Reformation occur in this timeline? I want to be a slightly more authoritarian democratic republic, but with there being two(!) Romes, and lots of empires...

You can review my app, but basically the French Reformation occurred in the sixteenth century, when France in this timeline was a bunch of disunited city-states and duchies under Roman suzereinty. Calvinism caught on with the bourgeoisie, initially as a way of justifying tax refusal, and then became the ideology that defined modern French national identity as all the little states came together to resist Roman invasion. So by the time France existed as a nation, it was uniformly Protestant, because Protestantism was responsible for the concept of France.

So if France colonized Brazil, it would definitely have created a Reformed colony with a republican government. Either or both of those things could have changed since independence, but that would be the cultural root stock.

Definitely going to look into your history. I say France because it's in the middle of Spain and Brittany.
