I agree.  No American could have ever written:

2057	Britain, Canada and the United States unite under the Crown and
	create the [New] Anglican Confederation.  Admiral Dewsbury
	appointed Lord Governor of the territory previously known
	as the United States of America.

This reminds me of a joke:

Q:  How many Centauri does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Just one.  But in the grand old days of the Republic, 10,000 servants
   would have leaped to change a thousand light bulbs at our slightest
   whim.
