    Thanks @Nofix and @Gonzo, this was a great timeline with a lot of interesting ideas. Its time had probably come but the quality has been high throughout. Republican Bill Clinton forever!

    "What Madness Is This?" Vol. II: The Pinnacle Future

    This is quite excellent Napo, keep it up! I'm very intrigued and excited to see what secrets the NUSA's been hiding - Joe Steele and Chuck Oswald's secret Infee origins? The secret machinations and theological hollowness of the AFC? What REALLY happened in the war against the South Americans and...

    "What Madness Is This?" Vol. II: The Pinnacle Future

    Sensational! Excited to see where this goes. Especially if Oswald is finally exposed as an infee Irishman..... Also your writing is very gripping and naturalistic.

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

    Correction, the newspaper was called The Protestant Vindicator. It was published in New York in the 1830s and 1840s. Here are some choice headlines and excerpts: "Horrid massacres by the Church of Rome!" - "No computation....can reach the numbers who have been put to death, in different ways...

    So this summer, I have an internship writing blog posts for a Protestant historical society, and I'm currently writing a piece on the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the conflicts between Catholics and Protestants in America. Literally every other thing I've read in their archives pertaining...

    The Star-Spangled Expanded Universe of "What Madness Is This?"

    I can also see something like Thomas Cole's The Course of Empire paintings becoming huge in the RU's art world, but with more stuff about how empires fall when they let their Pinnacle Bloodlines become diluted. Also large, crowded propaganda paintings showing the imagined state of the rest of...

    The Star-Spangled Expanded Universe of "What Madness Is This?"

    I can imagine the RU being against whatever stands in for the avant-garde ITTL, both due to the general opposition of dictatorships to experimental art (especially if you're referencing Nazi propaganda/Soviet socialist realism) and because it's most likely associated with "decadent...

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

    I watched it, it's got some very problematic Islamist messages but iirc it got criticized by other Palestinian groups for being extremist religious propaganda It's not that important though, it's one bizarre ranty propaganda show, that doesn't invalidate the Palestinian struggle The name made...

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

    This looks great! Question, will there be any depiction of Steele learning his real (Orthodox Georgian) background in the new WMIT?

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

    Another song with a Madnessverse vibe. I feel like TTL's version of "Danny Boy" could become an anthem of resistance and comfort for the besieged Irish both in the Kingdom and the RU.

    He's posted some more since then: NORTHERN MARIANAS JOINS GUAM The Daily Mail June 2, 2008 The Northern Mariana Islands have joined Guam in seceding from the United States. The legislature of the Marianas voted 12-8 in favor of independence. Governor Benigno Fital is currently engaged in...

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

    I actually thought the latter idea might be a funny twist. Reagan goes undercover and joins a band of Illuminati partisans or something
