  1. The Dead Skunk

    I noticed some hickups in the text: Some text missing here? The words "the slave" don't maje sense here.

  2. The Dead Skunk

    Good that this TL is alive!

  3. Of Rajahs and Hornbills: A timeline of Brooke Sarawak

    Get better soon!

  4. Of Rajahs and Hornbills: A timeline of Brooke Sarawak

    Nitpick: Yurevna is not a Russian first name, it's a "father's name", meaning "daughter of Yuriy". So a woman with the first Name e.g. Yelena and a father called Yuriy Ivanov would be called Yelena Yurevna Ivanova, and if she then married a guy with the last Name Rasimov, she'd be Yelena Yurevna...

  5. Lands of Ice and Mice: An Alternate History of the Thule

    There haven't been updates fro quite some time, but discussion is still ongoing.

    Count me in as a reader for the story as well!

  7. Industrial Progress: A Story Of Venetian Suffrage (Haitus)

    I'm surprised that commercial patents on intellectual property were a thing back then.

  8. Industrial Progress: A Story Of Venetian Suffrage (Haitus)

    The problem with that explanation is that "turkey" for either bird is attested only from the 1540s, so it's not even clear whether it was used for guinea fowl first. And mix-up with guinea fowls is only one of the explanations of the name. But let's not flog a dead (and roasted) fowl, whatever...

  9. Industrial Progress: A Story Of Venetian Suffrage (Haitus)

    A very interesting TL, subscribed. I like the grounding in sociology and economics. A nitpick: That whiff must have drifted across the Atlantic, because no-one would have roasted turkey in Europe before Columbus.

  10. How would a remaining/strong Byzantine Empire have responded to greater exploration

    In order to successfully compete in the Americas, Byzance would need to be an Atlantic power. Which means at least hanging on to the territories it had under Justinian or even to extend them. I don't think that's a realistic scenario, and in any case it would lead to a very different world from...

  11. Of Rajahs and Hornbills: A timeline of Brooke Sarawak

    Noted a typo - it's Kriegsmarine.

  12. Lands of Ice and Mice: An Alternate History of the Thule

    Maybe it was different in the 18th century, but AFAIK Tibet in the 19th and early 20th century was very isolationist and tried to stay out of everyone's orbit. It doesn't strike me as the place Europeans would introduce cultivars to or where delegations would go out on a reconaissance mission...

  13. Of Rajahs and Hornbills: A timeline of Brooke Sarawak

    IIRC, they wanted to include as many as possible Christian areas and enclaves as they could while still having a Christian-majority country. Lebanon was still majority Christian when it was created, but higher birthrates changed that later - that's why they never did a census after 1932.

  14. The Dead Skunk

    Since when does happiness play a role in these things? As long as Spain officially recognises the Bonapartes as heads of state of France and therefore as successors to the Counts of Foix, they'll have to recognize the Bonapartes as Co-Prince.

  15. Malê Rising

    It looked familiar. :-)

  16. Malê Rising

    What OTL monument did you use for the picture?

  17. Malê Rising

    @Shevek: I don't want to sidetrack this into a discussion of the OTL break-up pf the USSR, but if Jonathan doesn't mind... I was around at that time and closely following the events and discussions (as far as they were public). It was a very tumultuous and chaotic period, and I doubt that the...

  18. Malê Rising

    Eurovision: I hope not, up to now the Malêverse hasn't been a dystopia. ;-)

  19. Malê Rising

    I like this story - well, I like all your stories, but anyway ;-). Will you continue this one?

  20. Lands of Ice and Mice: An Alternate History of the Thule

    I'm always for an Independent Novgorod (even if it starts off as a Swedish satellite). I think it would change the dynamics in the region - regaining it would become a part of Russian foreign policy, decreasing the pressure on the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Concerning that, as long as...
