BTW, I have no way to name the Americas yet in Zera. In Republican
Hangkerim (before the European Invation) Hangkerimians had no concept of
different continents, so they just called all "terra firma" (I have no yet
the name for that). Europeans used many names: Western Indias, Columbia,
America... but they finnally decided to call North-America as Columbia and
South-America as America.

The corrected name for my NAL would be Columbian Confederation (CC). The CC
is formed for several states of English, French, Dutch, German (Hamburger)
and Spanish origin, from OTL Cuba to Newfoundland and from the Atlantic to
the Mississippi.
BTW, any hints on how South America (North from Argentina) were colonized in
Ill Bethisad?
