What is Shine Like A Starlight?

Well, as a colour-scheme-based map it’s going to be a bit inconsistent, but the basic concept is basically this.

Colonisation of the Americas somehow at some level fails. No Columbian exchange, or a drastically weakened version. This allows for the many surviving indigenous polities one sees on a colour scheme.

This together with a subtly different Europe leads to economic crisis compounding on the religious civil wars and Europe basically retreats from the world for a bit. In the end, the European Imperium wins and unites the continent behind its ‘Rationalist Autocracy’. This is basically a very warped version of the Enlightenment, one far more darker and without its more liberating aspects.

What is the European Imperium?

Well, I imagine it came out of the Holy Roman Empire and somehow the Byzantine Empire as well. Maybe a Chalcedonian reunification in an attempt to forge a counter-reformation before it ends up making a deal with Protestants or something, the final and most ‘true’ form of translatio imperii so to speak. The Imperium ends up taking advantage of disunity elsewhere to ensure it is the sole European power – via deals, bribery, incorporation and what have you – benefited by the fact that the ‘western powers’ sank lots of money into failed colonisation.

The Imperium in the 18th century – with Europe finally reunited – pushes for a ‘renewed’ colonisation effort, motivated by a belief that the failure of colonisation the first time caused the European Civil Wars [as they are called in ATL]. There is a strong desire to conquer the world – EIOU – Europae est imperare orbi universo, aka: all the world is subject to Europe.

Unfortunately for the world, the Imperium proves successful for quite a while. Lots of conquest, lots of colonisation, lots of horrid war crimes I don’t think is necessary to cover here. Just know it’s bad. But by 2020, the Imperium is facing lots of rough waters, it’s pushed to its breaking point, radical anti-imperial ideologies are spreading and there’s increasingly cracks everywhere.

The imperium is fading, the time is come to account it for its crimes.

Technology by 2020 is, I would say, roughly 100 years behind OTL – so expect a lot of dieselpunk stuff, I would say. Socially, it probably seriously varies to be honest, I need to somehow justify a lot of stuff here, this is a world expressly constructed to justify a lot of stuff one sees in colour schemes after all, unlike TABE where it was kind of post hoc and inconsistent.

I do hope you all like what I have planned.​

This is in a sense a 'redo' of Turn Around, Bright Eyes. The time is 2020 [month and day tbd] and this won't change.

This will be far more critical of colonialism than even TABE was, and highlight lots of weird stuff that happens.

Colour scheme is Cassy's Colours v2, which is impressively in-depth, and that's why I chose a much bigger map this time.

Okay, you know what, fuck it, here's a few lore dumps about Wales.

​

Prince William of the Saône (1979-present), of the House of Valois-Burgundy. The third son of the King-Elector of Burgundy and an accomplished military officer of much rank and distinction. Served in the Imperial Forces well on tours of duty in Africa and Asia, now in the Imperium's darkest hour he is appointed by the Emperor as the President of Wales with unlimited power to 'do what is necessary to restore order'.

He currently heads a Military Commission based in London and is drawing up plans to retake Wales for the Imperium and crack down on Socialist rebellion and disorder. The Senad [also called Senate or Senedd depending on your language - British, English, Welsh, respectively. It's the Welsh regional legislature since the 1980s or so] has been told that they are now dismissed and the Special Region placed under martial law 'in the interest of public order'. This... has caused controversy, needless to say.

When doing the maps and writing up the stuff, I sometimes come up with other stuff. Figured it would be cool to share.

​

Guílem Gélien (1887-1949) was the first President of the Most Provident Republic of Nicaragua from his inauguration in 1929 to his resignation in 1941. A Leaguer of British ancestry, he was a fervent believer in the supremacy of the "Anglo-Latin" people - i.e. the English and British peoples. While still firmly within the Imperium's belief of the supremacy of all Europeans, he advocated for more lands to be allocated to be managed by the Anglo-Latins. The purchase of the Nicaragua Territory from the Spanish Union was one advocated by the United League and furthered through the Nicaragua Company, and Gélien inaugurated as the fledgling Republic's first President.

Gélien's presidency would set the scene, with a firm racial hierarchy of Anglo-Latins at the top, Criollos below them, and generally mapping the old Spanish casta laws on to the Nicaraguan hierarchy. This got him into verbal conflict with the Pepper Coast, but the UL successfully mediated between its two starkly divergent republics. But it can't be denied that Gélien back home was an opponent of the UL's growing abolitionist sentiment, and in Nicaragua he made it very clear that the old slavery would be continued, and this was very good news for Imperial companies seeking profit at any cost.

His statue in front of the Legislative Building was toppled in 2020 by the nationalist revolution in a rejection of his legacy.

Terminology Update!

ANGLO-LATIN: Denoting the British [Romance-speaking] and English [Germanic-speaking] people of the British Isles. Defined expressly against first the Celtic and then the non-white colonised people, and by implicature includes the Norse people of the 'Law Lands' north of England and south of Scotland. The terminology was very popular in the late 19th and most of the 20th century, purposing a common descent of the English and Latin peoples of Britain, marking a shift from the historical ethnic alignment of the English and Norse against the British and Celtic. In the enlightened days of the 21st century, it is slowly realised to be quite a mistake in terminology, especially as the United Dominions has been very keen to redefine British as a more encompassing identity including all peoples of Great Britain. After all, all help in the great work of upholding Imperium...
