I'm interested in what other people think of the larger framework, and I welcome any alternative ideas to consider as well. --[[User:TheMayor|TheMayor]] ([[User talk:TheMayor|talk]]) 03:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC) | As some of you know, I've been working on a "headcanon" of FSA (and to an extent, our part of Astrasia) history in [[User:TheMayor/sandbox/FSA_Timeline_Proposal|a personal sandbox]], and I think it's ready for presentation and discussion.

As some of you know, I've been working on a "headcanon" of FSA (and to an extent, our part of Astrasia) history in a personal sandbox, and I think it's ready for presentation and discussion. I'm interested in what other people think of the larger framework, and I welcome any alternative ideas to consider as well. --TheMayor (talk) 03:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Fascinating, and definitely a great start to the potential discussion. I really do like the east–west dichotomy on economic and political-power grounds as something that can create a parallel outcome to the north–south real-world scenario. One thing I suggest including is the conflict escalating to some type of canonical armed engagement, even if not a full-blown civil war. Some type of skirmishing in area from FS-71 to FS-31 (generically speaking) isn't an implausibility by regional partisans. The only potential "flaw" I see is who canal states might align with. If the railroad is effectively replacing them, then an alliance with the west is more likely. Given the generally unremarkable terrain between the eastern mountains and Alormen, I just can't see why rail wouldn't reach places like the eastern lakes really quickly. If a canal can get through the southern part of the mountains, rail definitely can. The bigger obstacle to rail is likely that there are only a few passes in the eastern mountains. I don't know that the regional geography there is worked out enough to really show how the east was hemmed in. — Alessa (talk) 23:03, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
