I know, but the official colonial language was Dutch - I meant as in replacing colonizer language with the largest native language

Could more countries go the Indonesian/Vietnamese route and ditch the colonizer's language entirely?

Orwell proposed that SE Asia be placed under a joint British-Dutch-American codominuim

India ... might but most colonies (and the Uncolonized-but-very-backwards Occupied Nations) don't Also Orwell believed nations like Burma could not become independent at all

How would a democratic system in which the Overton Window, by consensus, is officially restricted in its constitution, emerge. For example, a secularist overtonized state would explicitly bar any party which seeks to promote religious values, or has openly religious members in party from...

But even with fixed external borders (anthrax and barbed wire) internal politics will change (although no empire will ever fully liberalize with atomic siege and 'war authoritarianism' rampant in even the most democratic ones) and I expect a limited degree of decolonization even in the worst...

That's entirely possible, especially with 'walls' of Anthrax or some other biological/long-lasting chemical agent to force a stalemate

It seems that 1984's huge superstates were inspired by the empires/occupation zones of the various powers during WW2 and how fast they expanded: Is it plausible to get a 1984-like scenario where New Imperialism occurs and a WW2-scale conflict later occurs but both sides stalemate with most of...

Radical ecologist/deepgreen regimes appear in right wing anti-environmentalist screeds but I haven't seen much about a Deep Green/post-AGW Eco-Authoritarian state

What happens to British India or British Relations with China?

There needs to be a TL about a plausible path to democratic China/Russia

Fig. 1: Map of 30 largest countries by size Fig. 2: Countries which have (red and gray) or were seeking nuclear weapons (dark blue, green, orange) I'm more interestered in the aftermath of such a war, preferably a European nuclear slugout between UK, France, (not nazi) Germany, Italy and Russia

Or something like Basic English which is meant to 'simplify' the language goes the full way (pronounciation, grammar, loans from major languages and Scientific Latin) so you get Besik Ingilish sentences like Kwiki braun wulpa salta oba lanlan doga [kwɪki brawn wʊ lpə sæltə owbə lænlæn dowgə]. so...

Supplanting them may be impossible, but some sort of defacto equilibrium (certainly not dejure) as with Singlish isn't

And the populous Asian/African former colonies where creoles might have (or in the case of Nigeria, have formed) either use colonizer languages or native ones for formal purposes. Note that Naija has up to 100 million speakers total, depending on how one counts speakers

A Pakistan-style "opposition state" whose existence is militarized defense is better than being genocided by the turks (and later arabs)

Also a US entring the war in 1914 should at least impact Soviet Administrative borders so maybe Koba decides to just draw SSRs based on economics

The idea of a Armenian-Kurdish-Pontic-Assyrian state with a different Ottoman endgame would be an alternative

Also the British Kurdistan and French "Assyria" that appear in the newest version on SV make little to no sense As in *Kurdistan is a separate colony for plot reasons only - it should be merged into Iraq. Also most Assyrians did not live in the area marked Assyriia Also the whole Axis...
