More on Nation
Description from Wikipedia:
Nation is a Terry Pratchett novel, published in the UK on 11 September, 2008. It is the first non-Discworld Pratchett novel since Johnny and the Bomb (1996). Pratchett took his editors by surprise by writing it before the previously scheduled Tiffany Aching conclusion. He has said "I want to write this one so much I can taste it", and that he's been ready to do it for four years.
Pratchett, giving little away, said in Feb 2007, "At the moment I'm just writing. If it needs to be Discworld it will be Discworld. It could be set in this world 150 years ago while still more or less being a fantasy. The codename for it is Nation." Nation is not set on Discworld but in an alternate version of our world in the 1870s.
