Nicely laid out IJ.
Thanks, Rhade. I'd say that it would be a lot more of an industrialised country than current real world, with a lot more trade and wealth. Also, having very close ties to the UK and the other Eurofighter consortium partners, I can't imagine the Balearic Islands paying full price. I'd maybe describe it similar to relationship between the UK and Saudi Arabia with regards to the defence industry.Rhade wrote:All nice, very nice. But I'm still not sure about Eurofighters, they are a pretty expensive. You sure that Balearic Islands can afford it ?
Thanks Blackbuck At least I wasn't the only one who didn't quite understand reading it at first.alejandro wrote:Why is it as occupied balearics i can occupy myself England?

Alejandro, I think you misunderstand this AU, it isn't occupied, merely an alternate history. I did not create it to cause any offence, I actually have very close ties to the islands and have no problem at all with them being Spanish - they're actually a very nice place as they are, I just thought it would be interesting to see what I could come up with if history was different. I hope you haven't taken any of what you have seen/read here in this AU personally.
Being British, I would have no problem with someone doing a UK AU, it would actually be quite interesting to see so you're very welcome to 'occupy' England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland if you so wish.
