The tools of the Register
The ways into the Register that are not articles: the chronology, the maps, the comparisons, the family tree, the glossary and the desk, with the categories and the notes on how the Register is made.
The Register's filterable chronology of this history, from the Older Continent to the present, spanning the United Kingdom of America and the wider world it shares.
The Realm on a map, year by year from 1775, with the territories, republics and foreign powers that held each part of it before it joined the Union.
Set any two polities or nations of the Universal Register side by side and compare their constitutional facts at a glance.
The House of Hanover from George III to George V, with the houses it married into, Sweden, Prussia, Coburg and Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and the grand-ducal houses of Michigan and Minnesota.
The vocabulary of the Universal Register defined in one place: the Crown in right and the advice rule, the void and the declaration of incompatibility, the polity types, the places of the capital, and the wars, treaties and bodies that shaped the Realm and its world.
The record as it moves: what is before the courts and the chambers, and the bulletins of the day.
Every entry in the Register, found by place, subject, date, name or chance, with the featured entry.
The record beside the Register's oldest counterfactual: what if the King had refused the Olive Branch, and the Queen had lived?
Every place the books of George V's reign are set, pinned on the world, with the chapters set at each and the day each one happens.
The Register's own typeface, in Regular, Bold and Italic, with the font files to download.
Why I started the Universal Register, how to read it, and what it is doing with the difficult parts of real history.
Jacob Ehlers, who writes the Universal Register.
