What happened to the Russian puppeted Basque country? Wouldn't that be as big a thorn in France's side as Russian puppeted Belgium?
Does it go societist?During the Popular Wars, Navarre traded French-speaking territory for French assistance in conquering the remainder of Basque-speaking territory from Spain during the chaos of the Second Spanish Reconquista, and drifted into French orbit.

I also expect the Maure to side with Russia to screw over France, and the Matetwa do to likewiseThere's a throwaway line about the Pyrenees being the "edge of civilization" again in the 20th century, suggesting all of Iberia is in the Combine for at least part of that time. Given the decline of Spanish culture hinted at in the Grey Era, and that only old men are trying to save it, would make sense that Societism might be embraced, especially following any War of Russian Aggression.
I'm wondering now about the Plague side of the Black Twenties. My understanding is that Siam is annexed at some point by the Combine; the French may have managed to bribe some elements of that government, but the wrong person dies, and suddenly their world system against Russia starts looking a lot less stable...
And finally, given how these updates on Monday (my time) have kept me relatively sane during endless quarantines, will be sad when this Volume closes (next week?). A brilliant final update, and can't wait for Volume VIII!
Isn’t there the reference to Siamese containing Malay culture in “The Spice of Death” and Sumatra occupied by Siam?There's a throwaway line about the Pyrenees being the "edge of civilization" again in the 20th century, suggesting all of Iberia is in the Combine for at least part of that time.

It also helps that Societist culture is initially similar to Spanish culture and “big brother over the ocean”There's a throwaway line about the Pyrenees being the "edge of civilization" again in the 20th century, suggesting all of Iberia is in the Combine for at least part of that time.

There isn’t a single Reconstruction Zone though so it may be regions attacked by the Combind in the LWOSYes, both of these are there. I seemed to remember a very early reference, in Volume I or II about how Siam has had to reconstruct their founding history, which I took to mean a very Diversitarian attempt to revive it after being a Liberated Zone. I may be wrong in this though.
EDIT: Also, the damage inflicted after the *Boxing Day Tsunami on the Global Reconstruction Zone seems to suggest it would be about where the Siamese Empire is now.
No.Is Yunnan province another name for Wuhan province...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….like a 19th century OTL name for it.

It's too bad that Japan goes Societist. I just read about Japanese tradition called Omiyage that seems very Diversitarian. It's a system of gift/souvenir giving which emphasizes each prefectures local specialties as to promote regional diversity in an otherwise fairly homogenous country.
