==Prospective history==

In the late 18th century British people gravitated towards equipentatonic scales for their pentatonic melodies, and hence they divided their pentatonic 'step' into two parts to allow for consonant triads. They discovered that the [0 3 6] triad was actually the most consonant in 10edo. Hence, the neopentatonicist style was ~~actually~~ the original method of 10edo composition when it first existed.

Then the French Revolution happened. France formed an alliance with Britain due to the former realizing the latter have a 10-tone system. Hence France, who decided to turn everything metric, promoted the British 10-note system to the rest of Europe. The British colonies at the time were the first to pick this up, then the rest of continental Europe, starting with the Netherlands.

==Sociopolitical structure of this world==

There is a Northwestern European Union consisting of the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom. Belgium did not gain independence from the Netherlands.

There is a Northwestern European Union consisting of the Netherlands (called Holland in-universe), France, and the United Kingdom. Belgium did not gain independence from the Netherlands.

~~==Languages==~~

The most important language that is in Earth#10 that is not in Earth#12 is Kampfsprache, a Germanic language designed to unify the British and the Dutch peoples. It is essentially a "second Dutch", but due to its use, pure English and pure Dutch were rendered extinct at the beginning of the 21st century. Kampfsprache and French are the two official languages of the Northwestern European Union, and the former is also an official language in South Africa, Australia (called New Holland in-universe) and New Zealand.
