    The Dutch colonised Manhattan. From there, I can imagine some of them relocated to other parts of the US.

    The Delta Works, for one.

    Every Country above the (^ on heritage grounds) on my list I have Ancestry in. Denmark is the only uncertain one, we're not 100% sure.

    Well, mostly because of the Marshall help.

    Not as powerful as before WWI, though. I'd rather be a puppet of Germany than the US, which we are today.

    A puppet? Heavily influenced maybe, but the US has no say in our politics whatsoever.

    I admire Albania, back when the Ottomans were on a rampage conquering the Balkans, this little nation managed to beat them back and it's only because of disease they lost in the end.

    It's hard to draw the line, but given we're still in (the useless) NATO...

    What diseases did they have?

    The NATO is an alliance. It's not hard to draw the line, a nation is another nation's puppet when their internal politics are controlled by that other nation, and sometimes the government has been installed by that nation. Neither of which has happened here.

    Malaria devastated the ranks of the Albanians and killed their King, who had been fighting the Ottomans back. Not long afterwards, they became part of the Ottoman empire. :(

    That sounds awesome! The people voting for the government, and a day later they were sent to the camps. "We're going to camp! Yay!"
