  1. Democracy viewed as archaic and obsolete

    Was OP perhaps inspired by my thread (which has the opposite requirement) to post this? Or pure coincidence? Also, POST-1900? The USA and various republics in the Americas are already firmly rooted in republicanism by then. I'd say it's very difficult to almost impossble.
  2. AHC: A world without monarchies

    I repeat: Hereditary/Family dictatorships do NOT count as monarchies, so they can exist. The head of states of these states do NOT have a monarchical title so they're fine. Also I see a lot of very late PODs, but I'm giving everyone the freedom to choose whatever POD(s) from the beginning of...
  3. AHC: A world without monarchies

    Are there even any official 'oligarchic' republics today? I'm pretty sure all republics in existence are either presidential, parliamentary or something in the middle. You also have dictatorships but those are fine. What I mean is there can be NO official royalty or nobility in any country in...
  4. AHC: A world without monarchies

    I don't see how the HRE is relevant here. It's not very likely to survive to the present-day if it existed in the first place in the timeline. Also changing the title of the Holy Roman Emperor doesn't make sense. In order to fit the challenge in which a HRE exists it would have to become a...
  5. AHC: A world without monarchies

    Oops, I forgot about that. But Vatican City is still considered a monarchy so it has to not exist. If you can get the Pope elected by universal suffrage, it would be allowed to exist. Alternatively, get Vatican City to not be considered a monarchy? Is Vatican City even a monarchy? It's more of a...
  6. AHC: A world without monarchies

    No, those can exist. Only official monarchies count (whose heads of state are called king/queen, emperor/empress...) Aristocratic/Oligarchic republics can exist, as long as the head of state is 'elected' in some way. But the only elective monarchies in existance are still kind of hereditary...
  7. AHC: A world without monarchies

    With any POD before present-day, have a present-day world exist where no one takes monarchy seriously anymore and it is a defunct and archaic system of government. No hereditary or elective monarchy may exist in any way, this includes 'monarchical' diarchies, triarchies etc. The only 'monarchy'...
  8. Spain becomes an empire?

    Thanks! Huh? I didn't mention America, but if Spain includes Portugal, they will likely conquer the whole of South America, I think. That's quite late, are there no earlier opporunities?
  9. Spain becomes an empire?

    Hello, this is my first post here, so I don't know whether this would be a regular thread, an ahc or an "is this plausible?" thread. As far I'm concerned, Spain never was an "official" empire, as the Spanish colonial empire was never ruled by an independent Spanish emperor they merely had the...
