Galaxy-brained play - that was pushed forward, to no avail, by some actual inhabitants of Nice IRL: have Garibaldi, who spoke French natively, represent Nice in the French Parliament and push for a new plebiscite to re-annex Nice to Italy. Even more galaxy-brained play, perhaps it becomes an...

That Batistuta/Rui Costa/Baggio trio at Firenze, holy shit. They all played for Fiorentina IRL but, never together, as far as I know. Milan seems like the most stacked team, however.

The only thing that would save them, is a decisive push against extremism by the community but, given how quite a few people in Dearborn openly chanted "death to America" while in America due to recent events just a few days ago, that's probably going to cause a massive split inside the US'...

Another early, feasible POD: when Napoleon rolls in, he annexes the whole of Italian-speaking Switzerland to his Italian domains, and not just Sondrio and its environs. Less feasible, but not that unlikely, Venice openly resists Napoleon - sure, the mainland would probably be occupied, but the...

Italy without South Tyrol, but with Istria; however, the Bulgaria/Yugoslavia merger goes through. Bigger East Germany, retaining all of Pomerania and Lower Silesia; however, Poland gets the OTL Kaliningrad Oblast.

I wonder, in a world without Fascism, is Di Canio just as... vocal, about his political preferences, or... :D

Yeah, AFAIK, the last Buu Saga chapter even ended with a full on epilogue, so that's a good way to end the series (even though there will surely be more than a few non-canon movies, as in OTL). Was Toriyama approached to write a Sonic manga IRL, too?

Graeber himself mentioned more than a few of them, but AFAIK there's no present-day state that's been able to do that while also having the kind of modern amenities for which it's basically indispensable to intervene on a territory on a permanent basis, by creating power plants, sewer systems...

Kind of, since in a panarchist system, rather than moving to a place that's more closely aligned to your views, you simply change your political membership, but it's close enough.

In his book The Dawn of Everything, David Graeber postulates that the development of the state as we know it went hand in hand with the loss of three kinds of freedom: the freedom to escape one's surroundings and move away, the freedom to disobey arbitrary authority, and the freedom to reimagine...

I think I'm going to wait for the expansion that makes unlanded characters playable before tackling the mod, right now it's in a beta state and I need a list of real life/pop culture playable characters to choose from that's updated to this new version - even though I did find an obvious Frank...

Fiorentina and Parma deserved at least one championship each, back then - as shady as Parma's financial situation was, the fact that most of the team got poached by a referee-bribing Juventus is even worse. Hopefully, the league will be cleaner in these alternate 1990s.

Looks like it - it wouldn't change much, though, at the end of the day. It'd be way more interesting if EU-wide free agency was allowed, as in OTL, but caps on foreign (even if EU) players were maintained, perhaps the same amount of foreign players for every EU country, to create a single...

AFAIK, the Vinča culture practiced agriculture, but alongside other forms of subsistence; it'd be interesting for it to birth a full-fledged civilization, with its proto-writing (whether it was actually a writing system or not, it's irrelevant, even if it wasn't, those symbols could become...

It'd be funny if Berlusconi still ended up at Milan later on, similarly to how he took over Monza shortly before his long overdue death. :P
