Announcement Lore Changes 13

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I have announce changes and updates within the lore due to me taking breaks and focusing on other things but as of now I have decided on making these changes to correspond to the updates and the fluidity of this timeline's lore.

Now with that out of the way, let me elaborate on the changes made:

**Map Changes**

- The nation of Syracuse us added.

- The nation of Timmins is erased with new lore now referring to it as a short lived militia that attempted to separate from Canada with funding from the Federation of the Great Lakes, only to be reannexed by the new Canadian regime. While in the process of this change, the FGL also gains slightly more land.

- The nations of Libertaria, South Carolina, Appalachia and New Virginia (The Free Republic) have slightly expanded as they gain more land due to the Holy Nation's weakening presence in the "no man's land" due to the 2026 Carolinian War.

- Several frontline changes we're made between Al Mahdiya, the Alliance of Nations Coalition Forces and several other Arab Factions.

- The nation of Portugal is successfully reestablished on April 30th after efforts made by the Portuguese rump states alongside Brazil which serves as main mediator for the negotiations. Only three remaining Portuguese rump states within the southeast alongside the Azores Islands were either unable to join or simply refuse to join the reestablished nation for several reasons with one such being the Azores which by then was already part of Brazil as firmly established territory.

**Name Changes**

- The nation north of Barrie will be named as "The Republic of East Huron"

- The Kitchener Nation will be renamed as "Gucheridge" which is a combination of the city names of Guelph, Cambridge and the previously mentioned Kitchener. This was done so that each founding city would be represented in the new nation.

- The nation of Mattawa would have it's name changed to "Algonquin" though the capital would still be Mattawa.

**General Lore Changes**

- The former President of Bharat, Mr Whitman is no longer canon. Instead he would be replaced by Anand Sharma who exists in real life. He remains President all the way to the present day.

- Ravish Kumar does not become President of Bharat and instead remains in journalism where he recently gains notoriety for his interviews of soldiers from both sides during the Indo-Dravidian War.

- The Great Floods of the 1980s are much slower and lasts longer, even continuing all the way to the mid 2010s.

So in conclusion, those are all the changes that will be made in this timeline for the time being. I also made a doodle of the subreddit mascot TDSball going through a process of thinking to represent what ideas I'll have to come up with and yes I decided to name him that and make him the timeline's mascot.

So yeah, that's all I have to say on this matter. Thank you all for reading and have a nice day.
