  1. The fate of minorities in an Islamic State of Indonesia

    Oh yeah, the Communists around would be a constant thorn in a DI dominated Indonesia. The moderate nationalists/militarists were able to leverage US backing and a political alliance with the Islamists to fight PKI and others but I don't know if DI would be able to do the same.
  2. The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    I think there was a passage in one of the previous updates that said people like Rockefeller would be rehabilitated and given jobs fitting for their skill. Don't know about John D too much, but I'll bet his punishment will be just a confiscation of wealth and MAYBE a bit of prison time with...
  3. British Indonesia

    The modern day Mega-Indonesia/Malaysia/Singapore is gonna be such a mess. The demographics is gonna be all over the place especially since without the rise of Indonesian nationalism during the late Dutch Era to somewhat unite the disparate Indonesian people during the late 19th century and early...
  4. WI: Causewaylion? The Nazis try to build a causeway to Britain after defeating the Soviet Union.

    So what's stopping the Brits from making their own causeway from Dover or somewhere else and counter invading Europe while the Nazis are building their causeway? Really though, if I was the one in charge of the British anti-causeway defence operation I'd let the Nazis build it to a certain...
  5. An Age of Miracles III: The Romans Endure

    Even if he captures Baghdad, will he be able to hold it against a Mesopotamian or a Persian attempt to recapture the city? An assault is gonna be bloody, holding it with a hostile populace where supplies are stretched thin as it is will be terrible. Winter is almost there too. Reinforcements is...
  6. An Age of Miracles III: The Romans Endure

    Is there a precedent for an Emperor being barred from the Hagia Sophia? Regardless, this is a powerful statement against the Emperor if not against the Tourmarches. I suppose the Church will be the one to take out the Emperor while Athena takes out the Tourmarches with their respective...
  7. An Age of Miracles III: The Romans Endure

    Oh man, I have a very bad feeling about the upcoming assault. A relatively small number of troops from a poor and ill-disciplined Theme used as the spearpoint of a lightning offensive? Likewise, supplies being limited by the need for secrecy. This war and the attack is gonna be pure suffering...
  8. Largest possible Private Military Company

    Perhaps to combat piracy in West Africa some PMCs decide to use converted civilian ships so they can escort cargo vessels? Or indeed, a pirate gang gets organized and wealthy enough to become a more palatable protection racket for traveling cargo ships against the more disorganized independent...
  9. Challenge: name an airplane uglier than the Lloyd Luftkreuzer

    The X-32 looks perpetually happy.
  10. How would an Islamist Indonesia look like

    I'd reckon that the Eastern parts of Indonesia (Bali, Papua, perhaps the entirety of the Timor island) would secede or declare independence from Islamic Indonesia. In the long run I think only Sumatra and Java, perhaps Kalimantan too, would constitute the nation. The strife between Islamists...
