  1. Musical AHC: Have most of the world's anthem be God Save the Queen or songs using the same tune.

    If the European colonial holdings were preserved, the United States adopted My Country 'Tis of Thee as their national anthem, and France restored the monarchy with Grand Dieu, sauvez le Roi as its anthem, you would have the German Empire, British Empire (including India), the French Empire, and...
  2. Name for a Portuguese Australia?

    The Portuguese actually did reach Australia before the British, in around 1606, and dubbed it ‘Terra Australis Del Spirito Santo’, The Great South Land of the Holy Spirit. “Let the heavens, the earth, the waters with all their creatures and all those here present witness that I, Captain Pedro...
  3. AHC: turn Australian "coups" into actual coups

    Somewhat amused by all of the talk of a coup against Theresa May, and it got me thinking, what if so-called "coups" launched by parliamentary parties in the Westminster System turned into actual military coups? My own beloved Australia comes to mind, with something like seven or eight successful...
  4. What would the effects of sedevacantism being a bigger deal among traditional catholics be.

    Look, apart from the weird crew part, this is pretty spot on.
  5. What would the effects of sedevacantism being a bigger deal among traditional catholics be.

    Disclaimer: I’m a Traditionalist Catholic in communion with the Holy Father. I think that the sede hotspots would largely overlap with the same places where Traditionalism is popular. So, France, Brazil, the United States, and England, and scatterings around the world. Any study into...
  6. A Britain of Panthers and Lions: House of Oldenburg Britain

    Funnily enough, after the death of Her Majesty the Queen, the United Kingdom will come under the rule of the House of Oldenburg for at least the next hundred years.
  7. How could Islam and Christianity gain a foothold in Indochina?

    If Ngo Dinh Diem continued on as dictator of South Vietnam, the country would be significantly Catholic by this point in time. South Vietnam under him was more a puppet of the Vatican than of the US.
  8. WI: Sanjurjo's Spain

    By the end of the Civil War, yes. But the 1930s saw a genuine revival for the Carlists. Under the Marquis de Cerralbo, the Carlists built up a mass media and propaganda operaction, had hundreds of local cells, women's and youth movements, a strong financial base, and over thirty thousand armed...
  9. What if the Japanese Invaded Australia in World War 2?

    Menzies would not have seen his immigration policy as anything less than a continuation of the White Australia Policy.
  10. WI: Sanjurjo's Spain

    That would depend on whether the Carlists take a more active role in the War under Sanjuro's leadership. You very well might see another heir selected over Alfonso.
  11. What if the Japanese Invaded Australia in World War 2?

    I would consider the post-war migration policy of the Curtin and Menzies governments of encouraging white migration as part of the White Australia Policy.
  12. AHC: An Autocratic Swedish Kingdom

    Until the overthrow of Gustav IV, Sweden was just as autocratic as Prussia, if not more so. If you can prevent him from being overthrown in 1809 (which was largely due to the betrayal of Sweden by its former ally Russia, and the ongoing victories of Napoleon on the Continent), the Swedish...
  13. AHC: European settler state in Asia

    Harbin in Manchuria was once effectively a Russian colony, with only twenty five thousand Han and Manchurians in a city of one hundred thousand people. In an alternate Russian Civil War, a White state could be carved out of Manchuria (perhaps in conjunction with a restored Bogd Khanate in...
  14. List Political Parties of Alternate Countries

    The Dominion of Queensland: The Country Party: the party which has ruled Queensland with an iron grip since 1957. Founded to represent Australia's pastoralists and graziers, it used Queensland's unique electoral system (which favours rural seats) to entrench itself in government. In its early...
  15. What if the Japanese Invaded Australia in World War 2?

    A successful Japanese invasion of Australia would have been incredibly unlikely. The New Guinea and Timor campaigns demonstrate clearly the ability of Australians to punch well above their weight in combat against the Japanese. Timor especially is indicative of the damage Australian special...
