So with the French and Spanish having been thrown out, do the Atlanteans get foreign aid because it hurts Britain, or do they get told "Take our colonies and run off with them, will you? Well then you can go to hell."? Turtle Fan 15:51, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Having flipped ahead to other parts of the book, I can tell you that at least Louis XVI comes to Atlantis' aid. You can probably assume Custis Cawthorne had something to do with it. Jelay14 18:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks.
- That Cawthorne irks me--either use historicals or make up original characters to fill a role, but don't give a different name to someone who resembles a historical down to every last detail.
- How does this book work, anyway? Is it a series of novellas that are set just a few years apart? That's the feeling I got. Turtle Fan 21:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- It's a straight-shot one POV novel; no novellas. Also judging by the pacing it's going to be a shorter war than OTL.
- That's par for the course, shorter wars. (I think I called that, too). TR 21:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Only so much war you can fit into a 430 page book with one POV. Jelay14 04:47, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
Atlantean Congress[]
I take it that there was only the one legislative level and nothing equivalent to the House of Representatives. ML4E 02:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- They do seem to be unicameral. That was my feeling, too. Turtle Fan 03:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

- It appears that Storm Whitson and Porfirio Cardenas represented Gernika at the same time. That suggests that this Senate has two Senators per state a la America, unless the Senate is actually set up like the American House of Rep, which has varying numbers of districts in each state, based on population. They do seem to be unicameral.Matthew Babe Stevenson (talk) 06:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
