I wish I had the tiome to address this in the detail it deserves. Unfortuntately, right now that is not in the cards. I have an essay due, another book contract, and need to work the hours to pay the bills. I will try to address the main points:
Now normal questions do askaris not have same reputations they have in otl in this tl? Anything notable about them. When de-colonisation happens will germany have a ghurka style regiments of africa or no.
The reputation of the askari is good, but not legendary. Since the regiments were Schutztruppe, not part of the regular army establishment, they did not see use in the ETO and eventually ended up the nucleus of the newly independent states' armies. Germany does not retain any colonial forces after decolonisation, but it does retain a generous volunteering programme. The original target had been Central European German speakers, but it gets used by people from the former colonies, too.
Also in regards to baden baden how much influence has the catholic church have? Do the nationalist of these nations appose the church influence? Also does catholic church try to convert orthodox belarussians, Ukrainians to Catholicism?
The Catholic church is hugely influential in Poland, and the protections of the Baden treaty were very necessary. Of course, forcible conversion is strictly illegal, but in the more fluid early years, a man who speaks Polish in public and goes to a Catholic church can be considered of Polish ethnicity with the social advantages that brings. things happen.
In the Polish-speaking, castholic heartlands, the church is pretty much The Authority. in the mixed and urbanised areas, less so, but it sure would like to be.
Lasty what is the relationship between germans of polish origin and Poland like? Any animosity?
Complex. Basically, Germans of Polish origins and poles in Germany are a difgicult political issue to start with. A number of people in Germany resent the existence of Poland because they are now considered foreiogners, but mostly, even people of polish extraction who speak and feel German feel warmly about Poland. the country has a very positive reputation that does not extend necessarily top indicvidual people. Many Germans are racist against actual Poles, but admire them in the abstract.
Got couple of question How will the children of king of Poland be raised, as in do the family decide or the state. Will the polish state make sure to make them fullly polish etc, as the king is a german Habsburg, will the gov be personally involved with the next generation of royalty. Also does the polish state do marriages etc similar to pedro of brazil the gov chose his wife. Last who would they marry polish aristocracy is any is left? Or try some catholic royalty?
The püolish royal family has decided to be more Polish than the Poles, so the children are raised in a way that preemps any demands the government could make. This is how European dynasties operate. But the Sejm expects the royals to be very patriotioc, and it will become an issue later in the century.
Marriages will be looked for both among the Polish nobility and the Catholic houses of Europe. Technically, the sejm gets a veto,. buit the choices are conservative and uncontroversial. The new king is a very fortunate choice, really.
Second what is the southern british irish territory like? How on earth do these enclaves work?
Feck. They don't. Does the word 'clusterfuck' ring a bell? It's basically the kind of crap you can only afford if your country can basically face the challenges of the world with two rabid weasels stuffed down its trousers. Anyone but Britain would be dragged down and bled out. Britain basically just goes "Oh, that? Ignore it. It's better than the alternative".
Recent events seens timely to ask this question whats relationship between the nobility and the state. Also the relationship between noblility and general public/non nobel majority population?
Fraught. Asshole vons are a self-renewing natural resource, and especially the lesser nobility can be clannish, arrogant, scheming, and deeply unattractive peopkle. Everybody remembers that one officer from the army days, that one mid-ranking civil servant, that one guy. They cling tovevery shred of their diminishing privileges and their domibnance posions the upper echelons of society. that is why modern Germany never develops a cohesive social elite. Again, a good that comes from bad, making the country more socially mobile ultimately. It just takes a long time top get there.
