  1. WI Monica Lewinsky brought her blue cocktail dress (with that sperm stain) to the cleaner's instead of deliberately avoiding it?

    I remember having read something that Monica Lewinsky's lawyer or whoever she listened to strongly advised her not to take that dress to the cleaner's when the Lewinsky affair became a thing in the beginning of 1998. It's the one thing she's been regretting her entire life. So I ask you what if...

  2. What would've been Russia's "non-communist synthetic neighbor" to adapt to?

    I once read a text on the internet, some academic paper to be honest, that essentially said this about the post-Communist world: Francis Fukuyama's "end of history" was right, but with a twist, history has indeed ended, but geography and culture definitely haven't. The author said that European...

  3. AHC: Make Poland Into A Destation Of Abortion Tourism

    I did this for Germany in a MotF entry and considering what the PiS government in Poland actually has in its mind, I want you to create this scenario for added blasphemy.

  4. WI Parliament had allowed for surface railways running the central London?

    The Genocide (i.e. Wikipedia) delivers this explanation why there are so many terminals in London: So what if Parliament had been less strict about surface railway running through the city? How many "main stations" of London would've been left and would the Underground as we know it ever been...

  5. Denmark doesn't join ECC in 1973: Ramifications on post-Maastricht Nordic countries

    On the one hand, we have Denmark that got almost as generous opt-outs from various EU duties as Britain. Then we have Norway that never joined at all. Then we have Sweden that has no opt-outs, but didn't join the Euro anyway. And the Danish people said Nej! in a referendum about partaking in...

  6. Relocation of the German Reich's capital

    I liked this thread about how far Germany would've gone in land-grabbing if it turned into anything but Nazi. It got exactly one answer, but it was interesting: Conservative Protestant Prussians don't like even more Catholics in Germany that may outnumber them and erode their power. In essence...

  7. Lifelines Of Logistics - How To (Not) Draw Your Transit Maps/Diagrams

    Before I won't get started at all, I'll open this thread now without the intention to be epic in one post. This is beyond my abilities and and my ambitions. It's rather about the many small things that I watch out for when I take some daydreams onto paper or any graphics program that have...

  8. FPTP in the Czech Republic: Implosion of the ODS

    In 1998-2002, the Czech Republic was governed by a so-called Opposition Treaty or rather "treaty for creating stable political conditions in the Czech Republic", featuring a minority government by the Social Democrats (CSSD) and Vaclav Klaus from the Civic Democrats (ODS) as speaker of the...

  9. Natural death dates of unnaturally deceased figures

    JFK was shot in 1963, but due to his Addison's disease, you may doubt if he'd make until e.g. 1980. Adolf Hitler hat Parkinson's disease and took an awful lot of drugs, so a Fatherland-style 75th birthday celebration may dubious at best. On the other hand, we don't know if a surviving Anne Frank...

  10. UA 93 reaching its 9/11 target - Relocation of Congress and/or POTUS

    After reading that the suicidal co-pilot of 4U9525 already "trained" on the way to Barcelona and reading into suicide by pilot again, divided into pilot- and hijacker-induced incidents, I came to think of United Airlines Flight 93 once again. And considering that there may indeed have been a...

  11. Alkebu-lan (Land of the Blacks) - An Africa without European Imperalism

    Just found this at Strange Maps and more from Word of God. Note that this only a very small preview of the actual map, but the original is insanely huge and upside-down. The POD is an even more deadly Black Death that Europe would've never recovered from.

  12. Today's Iraq without the Iraq War of 2003

    This may have been hinted at several times under other WIs like "WI no 9/11" or anything. But let's say we had Gore or McCain as POTUS when Bush 43 served his tenure IOTL. How would a surviving Ba'athist Iraq have been affected by the Arab Spring? Would it still come along and have the OTL...

  13. German North Sea Coast if the Black Death came after the Grote Mandrenke

    Left: A map showing a reconstruction of what used to be the "Outlands" of Northern Frisia before the Grote Mandrenke (Great Drowning) in January 1362. Right: Same area in a map from 1662. Bottom: Same area as of today. Pellworm and Nordstrand constitute most of what's left of the...

  14. AHC: North Poland and South Poland

    I had an idea. Divided nations à la Germany, Korea and Vietnam do occur here once in a while. But in Europe, they're mostly East vs. West. I thought that a north-south divided Poland could be interesting because a north would rather be flatland and the south would rather be hilly. Any thoughts?

  15. German/Czech population in modern-day Sudetenland w/o German aggression

    My question is simple: How would the ratio of denizens of German and Czech ethnicity in Sudetenland have changed without an expulsion of the Germans? There are some cities that already had quite strong Czech communities during the inter-war period. Would it all have ended like e.g. Southern...

  16. DBRP: Hradčany wants to cede Sudetenland with its Rust Belt.

    I don't know what to say, but it smells like the start of the end of Czechoslovakia is going on. Welcome in the 1970s...

  17. 1991 Korean unification (from CF.net)

    An obscure former member banned from AH.com years ago and who I'd had no idea about until stumbling about the following has created quite a fine peace of alternate history. The basic premise is Kim Jong-Il's assassination via a staged car accident in late 1987 and the subsequent stroke-induced...

  18. What's your image processing program(me) and file endings?

    What's my problem? Well, of course there are basemaps out there you can depend on, but once in a while I like to have or even publish multi-layer cookie cutter versions thereof to make them more handy, be it for contest or what not. The thing is, could enough people read it that it makes sense...

  19. Floods in Southeastern Germany... what is it anyway?

    Once again after 2002, there's a Genoa low over Central Europe with dire consequences. Affected areas are in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Thuringia, Saxony, Austria, Czech Republic, southeasern parts of Poland, not to mention the downriver neighbors... yep, the southeastern parts of the Reich...

  20. missed the poll option, sorry

    New thread, one minute. Missed the multiple options.
