The reign of George VI. 1900-1925 (1763)

This rather odd (to 21st Century eyes) novel can best be described as a mixture of "Rule Britannia" and "Enlightment gone mad"
The plot summary, taken from a post I made about this on the YDSC forum is as follows.
Under the rulership of George VI the UK defeats France (Charles X), Russia (Tsar Peter IV) & Spain (Charles V) and makes the world a better place. (BTW they also save Frederick IX (descendant of Frederick the Great) of the HRE from losing his (Viennese) throne along the way).
In this world there was neither an American, French or Industrial revolution, three deckers still ply the oceans & the East India Company rules India & the former property of the Dutch East India Company.
Could be used as an alternate dimension, reached by a portal from somewhere in 1927, there may even be an alternate H.P.L findable in this universes version of Arkham, living a peaceful life under the Duke of Massachusetts...
I recently discovered that someone on the deviantart website created a world map based on the novel, the possibilies for an alternate history, or even world crossing campaign are just too good to pass up. Links to the novel and map are below.
