Thanks for the orders
I'll be online for about another hour, if there is anymore input/orders/etc. Doesn't have to be more than a few words.

About the disease issue... I admit I'm no expert on how diseases work, and yes for situational interest I didn't want to have an update where all the native American states suddenly got wiped out.
Anyway, heres a quadruple of limp retrospective excuses: First, we have the Waeluta people sailing around the north pacific, making a possible bridge for diseases from around 650 AD. And later, others going to Iceland and even to north-west asia. Assuming that’s even possible, I like to naïvely think it would soften the blow as Lord Iggy said. Although, Symphony D's posts are making me doubt on that.
Second, natives are more organised, starting earlier in history, so even though societies might revert a few steps due to disease or whatever, they rarely return to a completely tribal/nomadic lifestyle. There's a wider zone of civilized culture between mexico and southern US area, with more influences and exchanges going on, which tends to prevent collapse in the wake of deadly plagues.
Thirdly, the first foreigners had no real ambitions beyond trade. No militant Christianity, for example (no shared religious/imperial tradition like OTL Rome).
Fourthly, I do wonder if the effects of disease, and old world superiority in general, have been slightly (just slightly

) exaggerated in certain books that Symphony D. and others may have read. Again I'm very far from being an expert, but I have seen some counter-opinions expressed online.
Combine that with the decay of time/space integrity caused by the presence of Space Hamster bases on the far side of the moon, and I think we can explain anything that’s happened so far

.
As for the Panto 'Republic', I went with Nick014's name, to avoid making up some random term. The top level of power is something like the traditional idea of a republic, but I imagine the rest being a mix of tribal peoples and urbanised areas, all with different levels of technological development. Not sure if there's any OTL term to describe that.
