Can’t believe Patrick split the vote. It should have been SquarePants!

I couldn't find a version of this thread in ASB or Fandom AH so I think this goes here? Just a fun, silly thing.

You'd need a POD much earlier than 1996 to have an ultra-nationalist take over the US in the 90s. Why is China (or South Korea, for that matter) doing nothing while Japan rips up Article 9 and gears up for war? Where is NATO, without the US, getting 1.7 million men to garrison Canada from...

I imagine any dislike FDR had of Germany as President might have had something to do with the Nazi dictatorship in charge of it.

French troops guard Imperial German POWs during the Internationale’s final advance on Berlin, spring 1944. The French, British and CSA forces would meet Savinkov’s Russians at the Oder, establishing the frontlines of the ‘Cold War’ that followed.

what’s wrong with labour?

Maybe consider a two-cylinder Walchaerts version of the V2? I’m not sure how feasible that is. Otherwise make a few edits to Thompson’s A2 design - probably just end up with the Peppercorn A2, actually. Mothball anything surplus to requirements for the time being (ala the P1s). Don’t build...

Ive got to go for Barry and Pugin, Burton looks a tad generic to me, and I think Hopper’s a bit ugly.

I’ll accept anything as long as the Clock Tower is still there. I love that thing more than some family members.

1839 is really turning into something of an annus horibbilus for the Whigs, isn’t it?

Well, that’s quite a cliffhanger indeed.
