Ooooh this’ll be interesting. New scenario idea I had: “What if Charles J. Bonaparte (Jerome’s grandson, founded the FBI and was Secretary of the Navy as well as Attorney General) became President of the United States?” The idea I had was for him to be William H. Taft’s VP 1908-1912, then run as a Republican in 1916 against Wilson. But if you could think of a better scenario I’d be all for it.

What if Portugal won the “Ultramar” war (translating into Overseas War) , more commonly known in the west as the Portuguese colonial war, or Atleast managed to prevent the 1974 Carnation revolution, considering the Portuguese military had landed a series of successful military off offensives in Angola, and even managed to cause a civil war within the Angolan separatist forces, having the UNITA faction (The largest right wing independence army) switch allegiances and actively contribute to the portuguese campaign, infact, the carnation revolution was caused by the fact that military officers and NCOs were angry as they saw their wages as quite low considering the amount of success in the Angolan campaign, not to mention that, with the Portuguese victory in the colonial war, Rhodesia wouldnt be completely surrounded by hostile nations, and infact share their entire eastern border with a de facto friendly nation, so its quite clear that African politics would be impacted ALOT, and i think its a video worthy scenario

Hey would Cape Town lose water because in our timeline there’s was situation in mid 2018 in which Cape Town would be completely out of water with the city calling it Day Zero I wondering if that would happen and if Cape Town would actually completely run out of water in this timeline

[@patrioticbritishmapper8352]

I get the impression that there'd probably still be a drought as in otl, and some level of water crisis but not to the level that it was in our world, largely due to the fact that there would be no uncooperative relationship between the provincial government and the local government like there was in our world, the fact that due to the Cape being a separate nation its unlikely that you'd have seen the large scale immigration from the Eastern Cape into Cape Town that happened in our world (the population of the city nearly doubled in 20 years in our world) and the fact that the Cape government in this timeline would almost certainly have very good relations with Israel, a country that is a world leader in water desalination.

I doubt they'd nuke their own country, plus it probably wouldn't help the international situation. I could totally see the government getting rid of the nukes just before the UN intervenes, probably on a "we can't let these fall into the hands of the ANC" basis.

I'd say the DA (or a party like it would be the main opposition in the Cape, along with maybe a Conservative Party successor as the small third party. The Pan African Congress probably gets pushed to the side like in otl though they might have slightly more seats, emphasis on slightly. I could see the ACDP still existing, they could be in either Azania or the Cape, as its possible that their platform might be more tolerable to the National Party in the Cape than say the ANC.

Azania is pretty much entirely based on the South Africa of our world, everything that happened to OTL South Africa happens to Azania, only difference is this time it has no Durban, no Cape Town and at best only half of the people with economic skills and training that it had in our world, hence the prediction is entirely reasonable.

That's not a racist flag, it's the Afrikaner volksfront flag, which is basically the Transvaal flag just with orange instead of red. Had I given them the AWB flag then it would be been racist, but I didn't. Remember this is a Cape run by the National Party, not the modern proposal for a Cape Republic based on the Western Cape, hence I used a flag that resembled those used by the NP. Let me re-iterate, that flag is not racist.

@@patrioticbritishmapper8352 that flag is used by those who want apartheid back, mostly in the town of orania. The cape independence flag would have made more since

[@patrioticbritishmapper8352]

@@OceanChannelProductions As I said this Cape isn't associated with the Cape Republic proposed by the likes of Capexit and The Referendum Party, this version of the Cape is one that is still run by the Afrikaner Nationalist NP, hence the flag makes complete sense. So no the current Cape Republic flag would not make more sense. Orania has it's own flag actually, and it looks nothing like that one.
