I am enjoying your timeline..
However a small nitpick:
The government of the Netherlands is located in The Hague and not Amsterdam.
Amsterdam is just the capital dejure.
Wow wow ! Don’t start a conversation about what I was thinking since I am the only one whines what I am thinking.🤔
Island corrected. 😕
Just leave at that. And let the story continue. 🙏
He gave the Burgundian lands to Maria upon her marriage With Albert of Bavaria ( not sure if it was Albert). But with a clause that it should be reverted to Charles or his successors if she has no issue. What actually happened
Hi Rast. Congratulations with you first decennial!
And for continuing this timeline for the past ten years. I look forward to the next ten years
However your TL at first seemed quite an utopia ( for most people ) but is has become a Dystopia.
I hope you don’t have any more disasters waiting to...
I agreee with Anarchy_4_all.
For me this is the best timline on this board for the past 9,5 years. Since Rast started I have waited each day for an update. Without an update my day was not complete. This story should make a wonderful series for a book for which I would gladly pay, or a amazing...

Would it make more sense to split the Rhineland (Paltinate) & Westphalia province into separation "Kingdoms". Westphalia alone has a larger population than Bavaria. And to make Bavaria happy you could add the Former Prussian Pfalz (Palitinate) to Bavaria. Bavaria already had an enclave of a part...
Rast, congratulations with this timeline’s 9th anniversary!. I believe this is one of the longest and best timeline of this forum. I have been enjoying this timeline with its almost daily updates tremandiously.
Thank you verry much and please do continue. At least for another nine years.
King William has never been king of the Netherlands he was Stadtholder of the United Provinces. Before he became King of England, Scotland and Ireland.
The most certainly didn't play vassalage since the Dutch of Guelders has resisted Burgundian interference many times. IOTL it Charles V a few decades to incorporate Guelders into the Netherlands. The Duke Charles of Egmond was raised at the court of Charles the Bold he remained quite independent...
