When talking about the concept of Dystopias, we usually discuss it in a POD like "Axis winning WWII" or the "Soviets taking half of the world", usually stuff in the 20th Century and a strong totalitarian theme to them. Is it possible for a dystopia based around a POD during American Prohibition...

As anyone who’s been involved in alternate history or counterfactual history - or even just history in general - most people will agree that Nazi Germany remains one of the most vile, bigoted, repressive and evil regimes in human history. Had they somehow won World War II, then they would have...

So the 1990s up to 2008 was, while not perfect (considering Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, 9/11, Sudan, Rwanda, Chechnya, the failed August coup, etc, etc), it was better than it really should've been all things considered, especially with the break up of the Soviet Union involved. So, with a...

Create the world where humanity is in the most miserable condition as possible.

THE IRON EAGLE DAYS OF STRIFE DEATH IN RIGA The clock had reached midnight, and yet he was still there in his office, seated and working his eyes through page after page of reports and documents which require his attention. Alfred was not in a rush to go back to sleep, because he...

All Along the Watchtower A Dystopian TLIAW By @Enigma-Conundrum and @Vidal SOMETIMES WE TURN to alternate history to escape. We ask: Did it have to end up this way? What if things were better? And so we think about all sorts of scenarios that might've meant things just ended up a little happier...

Something like We’ll Meet Again (I would kill for a saved copy).

PREFACE This is a new TL that I have in the works, which will be told by maps (Making Qbam/Mbam maps is what I crave) and wikiboxes, which is why I put my TL here. Also, I didn't feel like going through the effort to do nitty-gritty research in order for this TL to be in the post-1900s section...
