Presumably, this "Californiay" isn't an American state; California wasn't added as one until 1850. Prior to 1848, the land belonged to Mexico. Of course, it could be being settled by Americans, in a similar way to how Texas was settled. This raises the question "Did the Spanish defeat the Aztecs and Mayans?", because the Lousiana Purchase might have included the entire western half of America in the Temeraire world, instead of simply the middle.

- California is a derivative of a Spanish word, so they must have at least been present in the region for Chukwah to give it that name. And he did not say he was giving the goods to American settlers but simply to the Chumash who have lived in that region before the Spanish arrived and after. I don't think we can infer much of anything from it. -- Strangerface 12:11, 22 August 2010 (PDT)
- Been over the maps again, and California was the name of the entire region that was eventually incorporated into the United States. So the Spanish possibly did beat the Aztecs (quite possible, even without dragons, as it was disease that weakened them) and set up New Spain. Almaron 13:24, 29 October 2010 (PDT)
