Seems to be a consensus for JUST the USA. Can we get official declaration of what territories swap? I know at LEAST the lower 48 from "our timeline (OTL)" is swapped, and a couple of Mexican states, but what about Hawaii, Cuba, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the various "Commonwealth" Territories?
With Alaska and Hawaii still "uptime" there's at least SOMEWHERE for the various deployed service men and women to go "home" to while things settle. Pearl Harbor for the Fenspace-setting Navy, and one of the cold-weather training camps in Alaska at least for the Army.
Are the territories that swap just the ones considered fully part of the countries in TL-191 at the time?
*Tries to prod muse for "TL-191 First Fen"*
Besides "Whole World" changeover makes Earth simultaneously better and worse for Fen. "Better" is no restrictions on the Wavetech. "Worse" is that every nation on earth would potentially be hostile. While the VVS might get a kick out of picking on Greenwood's residents that the US of TL-191 is practically Soviet, the Army would be salivating to get a hold of "Mysterion" tech.
