Either Amurstan, Dongbei, or maybe Dongbeistan, to name off a few potential names.

Out of the Frying Pan Basically a Fuldapocalypse WWIII in an alternate 1960's with a POD early on in the Korean War where in spite of General MacArthur biting the bullet, the US and the South go on to successfully reunify the Korean peninsula under Seoul's flag of which leads to not only China...

Frankly I would have the setting be in the late 60's to accommodate the Flexible Response doctrine or maybe a pod post-1948 to negate the need for nukes asap at the start of conflict in war planning.

Frankly I can see some concessions made in terms of social progress, on what the government considers such, if only to keep the public from turning to the radicals; although it doesn't mean that the USA would be on part with OTL's in terms of that anytime soon given what you said. Also, it would...

The whole dystopic nature of this TL got me thinking, where are the resistance groups to said Western governments? I get that there is one against the Soviets but there hasn't been much said about those that oppose the governments of the West (plus those in the East aligned with them); besides...

My top pick for said war that could have happened is the one over the Beagle Islands between Chile and Argentina. It was about to happen during Operation Soberania, but it was cancelled due to a combination of bad weather and the intervention of the pope. Had either of those things didn't happen...

Does the role of using proxy insurgents, agencies, and "freedom fighters" count? Silly question but there is a good reason why I bring them up considering the obvious circumstances of the Cold War.

On that note, I do have my own "Stan", although in the Caucasus, which is the Republic of Kobenistan (free cookie to those who guesses where the name came from), where it takes the place of IRL's Daghestan. Basically, a more Russified Azerbaijan compared to the Turkic one, although the influence...

Well, perhaps if Taiwan avoids being transferred to RoC after WWII, how will that factor in with the Ryukyu Islands being under US administration, especially when the Cold War starts? Eventually, the US might have to either do the former, give it back to Japan (controversies not withstanding)...

For Shah's Iran, I'd pick Qeshem and the Tunb Islands, especially if the Iranian Revolution gets more intense than OTL's or some such.

If the Allies did for whatever reason let Japan keep Taiwan, even if it were to be temporarily occupied by them for at least several years, the situation in Hainan might be butterflied away (as pointed out by a few people here), at least for now at the time in 1950, and then some, like how the...

Frankly you might need to butterfly the suspension of ties between Germany and China while possibly not Japan and the USA go to war with each other somehow in the 40's to make this happen, mainly so that the USA can find an ally to counter the Nazis in China besides the Soviets; unless by golly...

To celebrate the Metal Gear collection coming to current gen systems (plus the Switch), I have uploaded two flags for Zanzibar Land and Outer Heaven; although I did plan on doing so for MG's 25th anniversary but I held off until now. Not quite alternate history but still fits considering the...

I voted for the Poland TL, mighty nice for the USSR to get its comeuppance, especially as the Holodomor obviously was a precursor to the Holocaust in some ways, barring the characteristic differences between the two, although I have a suspicion the Third Reich might use the intervention to its...

Yeah, it'd be a damn shame to do it all over again; I'll stay tuned though.
