Shortly after I completed this scenario, I discovered and read through Glen's Dominion of Southern America timeline and decided to create a hybrid between the two. I have also used the flag from the Dominion for Meridia with Xanthoc's permission.Instead of being assigned to Quebec, governor Guy Carleton was sent to South Carolina. Once the American Revolution began, it was his skilled leadership that kept the colony loyal to the crown. This caused the permanent split between the republican north and monarchist south. Over time, both countries would become closer together and eventually share the continent between themselves.Some notes on various area:: The great southern continent was first officially discovered and claimed by Russian sailors and named Alexandria in the Czar's honor. There was little interest in it afterward, and Russia later on sold its claim to America (who was more interested in whaling stations around the continent). America has tried to make use of it with research stations, weapon test sites, and a failed colony. Nowadays its mostly one large nature reserve.: The small island was mostly supportive of the Revolution, and shortly before the peace-talks it was taken over by rebel forces. During the peace treaties, Britain ceded it to America in exchange for adjusting the North Carolina-South Carolina border in the south's favor.a: The area is divided between America and Meridia. While America controls the fertile Central Valley, Meridia is mostly content with the drier, less populated south. It is in the south, however, that the Meridian film industry has grown around the city of Terminus.: The vast stretches of nearly-empty land has acted like a large sponge soaking up waves of immigrants. This was accelerated when America gave large plots of land to anyone willing to move there and farm or build it up. Despite the large amount of immigration, the more sparsely populated north contains many French and Indian communities who have lived there for centuries.: The area has a long history of being a refuge for people running from the law. During the 1800's it became a haven for gambling, prostitution, and hard partying. This reputation would eventually fade as the rest of the country's laws became more liberalized. Despite this, it remains the capital of the American pornographic industry.: After the failed Slaver Rebellion in Meridia, Britain tried to turn Guiana into a black ethnic-state similar to the Indian states and named it the Freeman district. Settlement remained light, however, since many former slaves moved out West or north to America instead.: Britain pushed Russian interests out of the Sandwich Isles early on and eventually folded them Meridia.: After a disastrous series of revolutionary and civil wars, one of the factions there invited Britain to intervene on their behalf. British forces would make themselves at home, however, as the Empire decided to incorporate the entire area into Meridia.: The islands were a common destination for American whalers and merchants, which often put them at odds with the native Maori and French pioneers. They would eventually be claimed by the United Provinces, and hosts a large francophone community from Canadien immigrants.: By securing Pacific access through an earlier isthmus canal and controlling Central America, British interest waned in the area while American interests only grew. It would eventually claim the whole area and the islands around it.
