What if New York City, Long Island, Westchester and Rockland were an independent nation with a parliamentary system?

@jlrosewater@frankidacre To be honest, I was looking to read Island at the Center of the World first, but I was at the New York Historical Society gift shop and they only had his newer book!
@frankidacre Also relevant — Historian Gordon S. Wood sadly passed away yesterday. His "Empire of Liberty" book about the early American republic is a great read too!
@frankidacre I just read "Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America" by Russell Shorto a few weeks ago and I can’t recommend it enough, absolutely stellar! Checks all boxes of history, politics and religion.
@purplewaves7 At the very first No Kings rally in early Feb 2025 in Boston, things were very disorganized and an RCP guy managed to get the megaphone. He started out talking about beating the fascists and the crowd was cheering, then he started talking about Avakian and everyone was confused.
