  1. Name for Mormon state in OTL Utah that isn't "Utah" or "Deseret"?

    Just something that I was thinking. It seems like these are the two names that are most often given to this area when inhabited by Mormons. What are some other possibilities?

  2. Alternate personal names?

    What are some names that could have become popular, but didn't IOTL, and names that became popular IOTL but only due to a series of unlikely events that might not have been repeated in ATLs?

  3. Mathematical what-ifs

    Obviously math in general is pretty constant: 2+2 will always equal 4 no matter what universe we're in. But what if people did math differently? What if we used a different system besides base ten, or Arabic numerals never came into use in Europe, or the plus sign was different, or that sort of...

  4. AHC/WI: No hippies

    What would happen to culture if the hippie movement never happened?

  5. AHC: Largest/most powerful possible Switzerland?

    With a POD after, say, 1700, what's the largest/most powerful Switzerland possible? Can it annex other German states?

  6. Labrador WI

    About a week ago I saw this article on the New York Times website. It starts out by proposing a bit of alternate history, suggesting that Newfoundland and Labrador could have become Communist had they become independent in 1949 rather than joining Canada. I'd like to know what serious AH fans...

  7. Ask me about my alternate world again!

    I'm from an alternate world. My computer is somehow letting me communicate with you, and translating everything I say into your variety of English. Ask me about it.

  8. US without Ohio region?

    What if the British somehow kept the area north of the Ohio and west of the Appalachians after the ARW? Is this plausible? What effects would this have?

  9. Russo-Japanese empire?

    This idea keeps coming up in my head. Would it be possible for Russia and Japan to unify? I don't care when the POD is--as long as it's before c. 1900. EDIT: I meant to put this in the Before 1900 forum.

  10. DBWI: Just found this map.

    I found the following map on an obscure alternate history site. While I admire the visual effects, some of the countries and borders depicted seem unlikely. What does everyone think?

  11. Challenge: Antarctic country?

    Try to make an independent, widely recognized, populated country located entirely in Antarctica.

  12. Cooperative Countries of an Alternate World Thread

    Here's my new idea: We make different countries just like the Countries of an Alternate World Thread (google it if you don't know what that is), only this time, each of us takes part in the same country. For example, the first person creates the name of a country. The next person defines the...

  13. DBWI Challenge: the map from the Timeline 40 trilogy

    So I just finished the last book in the Timeline 40 trilogy, an alternate history with an expanded Russia, a surviving China, and Mexico losing all but its far southern territory, and numerous other changes as well. It was an exciting and well-written trilogy, but sadly, the author didn't...

  14. Map challenge: World Diplomacy IX

    This is the map from the World IX variant of the board game Diplomacy. The year is given as 2000. Each color is a world power, and the names are listed at the upper right. Each tan region is its own country. Ignore the ocean boundaries. How did this happen?

  15. Ask me about my alternate world 2

    I'm using a cross-time computer that I discovered in my great-uncle's attic. It has access to the Internet of your world. I've already used Wikipedia to learn about your world, and now you can interview me about mine.

  16. DBWI: The New Rise series

    So I just finished reading the ninth and final installment in the New Rise series. I thought some of it was a little strange (especially SPOILER Barack Obama becoming president of the United States towards the end), but overall, I enjoyed it. Ramirez made the right decision by collapsing the...

  17. The Alternate Showdown of Alternate Destiny

    I had an awesome idea. (Actually, I thought about it awhile back but never got around to posting this.) We should write a song based on "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" except Alternate. We could have countries take the roles of the people, and then it wouldn't be too hard to create a...

  18. DBWI: No North American civilization?

    Suppose that, through an innumerable amount of butterflies, advanced civilization simply does not start in North America north of, say, Mexico, not counting a few farming societies and such. What happens?

  19. Map challenge!!!!!!!!!

    Exactly what the title says. I'll be posting historical maps after a while.

  20. DBWI: Is a matriarchal society inevitable?

    Was it totally random that a female-dominated society emerged? I think it is, because there are a few patriarchal societies here and there. So if most societies were patriarchal, how would life be different?
