  1. Into the Cincoverse - The Cinco de Mayo EU Thread and Wikibox Repository

    So is there a list of what geographical areas/countries each of the confederations covers?
  2. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Quite the contrast between these two geographic ends of southern Europe. I have a hard time imagining this Ottoman Empire continuing for very much longer without bursting into a revolutionary conflagration, but perhaps I shall be surprised. On the other hand, Portugal ending up as a warmer...

    Completely speculating here, but my guess is that Belgium implodes during the war, and maybe Flanders gets annexed to The Netherlands pretty much right away. Wallonia might limp along as a rump independent state for some time before the rising French State decides to do something about the mess...

    That... That brings images to mind that aren't necessarily appropriate for this board. Brain-bleach, please!
  5. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Nearly all of the Olympian gods are portrayed as rather horrid "people". In Hera's case, she has a habit of getting mad at her philandering husband, but then because she can't actually do anything meaningful to Zeus directly, she takes her jealous anger out on the unfortunate mortal woman who...

    Which in no way guarantees that said younger relatives won't be paranoid.
  7. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Hoo boy. Belgium throwing around accusations that Germany pretty much has to respond to... And the hints would suggest that the response boils down to "If we're going to be accused, we might as well actually do it."

    Probably a descendant. (Grandson, following in the family tradition?)
  9. A Wilder Wildcat

    All well and good, but the USN didn't want water-cooled engines.
  10. The United States with a British Deep South

    Not having control of the east bank of the Mississippi River south of Memphis could have a big impact on westward expansion of the US. Presumably, rights of navigation would be an issue that would be covered in the treaty ending the war, but there's still a certain amount of awkwardness...
  11. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    We've been told multiple times that the CEW starts in 1919.
  12. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    No doubt combined with feuds and property disputes that get out of hand because no one has the resources to step on them.
  13. What if motorized transportation was severely restricted?

    You would see bicycles being the dominant choice for personal transportation, especially in cities. Most road improvements in the US before about 1910 were driven by the demands of bicyclists, not motorists.
  14. A Sound of Thunder: The Rise of the Soviet Superbooster

    Lol what? Basically all of Australia is closer to the equator than Nova Scotia. Brisbane is closer to the equator than Cape Canaveral. Pretty much the entire east coast of Queensland should be open for north-to-east launch vectors. The only drawback is how far away eastern Australia is from Europe.
