But Ireland is part of the UK here, which suggests a pre-1916 POD.

IMO they should let other countries into the A4, provided they get unanimous approval from current A4 members and can meet appropriate criteria regarding human rights/democracy/etc.

She can join Dr Butts and Francis Talbot in trying to get as far away from Henry as humanly possible.

Well, considering it's the CSA, their solution will probably be to start a war or something. I know that it would be completely ASB, but the idea of Max winning a CSA-Mexican war and somehow taking back Texas is hilarious.

There were also a few slaves which historically escaped into Mexico, which I imagine Maximilian will be happy to continue. Apparently there was an attempt OTL by the US to get Mexico to agree to return fugitive slaves, which fortunately Mexico declined.

Even without the Nazis there are still quite a few places where eugenics had a racial component. Look at sterilization of native women in the US and Canada. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_Native_American_women https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_sterilization_in_Canada...

As Sir Humphrey once remarked, the ship of state is the only ship which leaks from the top.

Except unlike Britain they actually share a land border with NI, so anyone can just walk across the border to plant a bomb in mainland Ireland.

Latin America: friendship? I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

Sadly for Francis, the antipodes of the British Isles, New Zealand, hasn't yet been discovered. Otherwise he could put the entire molten core of a planet between him and Henry.

France isn't far enough, IMO. That's why I'd go for the New World. I'd feel far safer with the Atlantic Ocean between me and Henry rather than just the English Channel.

If I were Francis, I'd probably think strongly about emigrating before Henry can recover. Preferably to the New World - an entire ocean between me and the king I accidentally castrated would sound rather attractive.

But by that standard plenty of animals practice pacifistic survival strategies, like running away from enemies, or relying on camouflage to avoid being noticed by predators.

I assume he also lives in a cave and eats his meat raw, because that’s how animals do it, and apparently people should live like animals now.

But loads of inventions are solely human - literature, the arts, language, science, the use of any tool more advanced than a stick, clothing, and cooking meat before you eat it, to name but a few. Does Blomberg think all of those inventions are equally ridiculous, and that German soldiers...
