No Convention of Moss as a result of Norway's defeat, so no guaranteed rights for Norway as a country or for its constitution to be recognized. If Christian Frederik is captured expect additional concessions from Denmark, probably in the form of money or possibly minor islands. Norway seethes...

Leisure Suit Larry's Empire of Sin Smut Love 2017 What do you get when you cross SimCity, Skylines, Grand Theft Auto, Fallout, Hitman, and Leisure Suit Larry? This illegitimate offspring had no reason to end up anywhere beyond a file cabinet but the three-year project yielded an unexpectedly...

Horror Story 2001-2005 Season 1: A series of grisly murders in a rural Kansas town among the Flint Hills leads to an FBI agent to be dispatched after similarities to two dozen murders each in Nebraska thirty years prior, Wisconsin thirty years before that, and Colorado thirty years before that...

Originally this quartet got started playing clubs in Hamburg and later Liverpool, the original drummer was replaced by Jaki Liebeziet, an enthusiastic German (Saxon) of the new post-war generation. Liebeziet, who found the original name of the band which translated as Die Kafer very insulting...

Does this scenario push the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway into the Allied camp a la WW2 or are they able to stay neutral?

If you define peace as the absence of resistance, have the Pusan Perimeter fall and the world taken over by Moscow culminating in the fall of the United States to Communism in the early 1990s. By the early 2000s there is one world military and rebellions, while they do occur, are few, far...

My name is of no consequence. With ink rinning out I will record the final of our species conflicts in hopes of future generstions avoiding the same mistakes. Following the Third World War in 1968 and subsequent conflicts, often of a thermonuclear nature, mankind retreated largely underground...

This assumes a prolonged conflict. Italy pushing into France was enough of a worry to convince the Allies to court her early in the conflict, and while Italy remained reliant on Allied trade the prospect of a French military debacle a la 1870 and a quick victory was not impossible, it nearly...

A Japanese strike on British Columbia, especially if a raid on Vancouver Island or (Canadian) Vancouver is involved, has major ripples for the US Navy. Ironically this might butterfly away any Pearl Harbor-loke event entirely. Japan coming into the war as a CP means Russia will lose control of...

.50 Morse?

John Jay listens to the 1782 proposal from Spain and somehow gets Congress to agree to the Kanahwa River, divide atop the Appalachians, and Altahama River becoming the border - Britain keeps central and eastern Canads but otherwise Spain controls most of North America. Canada can be lost in...

Suppose the Western Hemisphere is allowed another 50 to 100 years of development on their own - perhaps Columbus, Cabral, and others arrive but are lost en route back or wreck in such a way that going home is impossible. What does the hemisphere look like in 1550? 1600? Or even further out?

Back to the Future: The Next Generation 2016, 1 season Marty's daughter Mary discovers the wreck of her godfather's old time machine and decides to 'repair with flair'. Instead of a DeLorean she opts to drop the new and more efficient Flux Capacitor into a Volvo S60 with a double turbocharged...

Respectfully I disagree. Polish nationalism survived decades of attempts by multiple countries to stamp it out and one could argue for a Belarusian identity going back for some time as well. Occitan gradually eroded although religious concerns were present that might not come to bear in the...

Take six months to evaluate how 'success' is defined as well as how production is being organized. For the USSR success was dictated by raw materials ordered to produce things even if they did not work - tractors so heavy they could not move their own weight for example. Gorbachev has a PhD in...
