I'd been wondering what the Civil War would end up being called ITTL.
As far as I can remember, I think Paramount is the major studio whose fate hasn't been touched on in the fanfic threads. We know that many film executives flee to Cuba, but I wonder if some would flee to Canada. IOTL...
Given how much of the movie-going audience are young adults, that might not be a bad direction for the studios to tailor much of their horror movies toward, and the PG-13 and R ratings would still be there for films that they're hoping for a larger teen audience at the box office.
It would be...
I think one potentially interesting effect of a more successful NC-17 would be the effect it would have on horror film making, since this would likely make it harder for the MPAA to use the the threat of an NC-17 rating to force directors to edit films down to obtain the R rating. The slasher...
If Paradox can take some of what learned from CK2 and apply it to give more depth character/political aspect of the original EU:R this might be a case this might be a rare case where I don't wait for a game to go on sale to buy it.
There'd still be a number of baseball playing nations in the AFS, like Cuba and Venezuela, but it does seem like the sport would be dominated by Comintern nations.

Yeah, I've tended to think that quite a few Americuban movies would probably have pretty good production values due to the film executives from who fled to Cuba bringing their industry experience and money with them, even if much of the talent they employed on the mainland end up not following...
I've been thinking about about which film genres might be particularly popular in the first few decades of the USA in Cuba, and think these might be possibilities:
- War: It seems obvious there would be a lot of movies depicting US military action in the South American theater, given how the...
Speaking of Fairbanks, that seems like a city that would have a good chance of being renamed post-Civil War seeing how Charles Fairbanks' unpopular presidency would be viewed even less positively after the formation of the UASR.
This makes me wonder how the Allies are handling the liberation and occupation of Spain, given given how it directly borders both the FBU and Portugal and the added complication of the agreed upon restoration of Red Spain.
Given how Mattei tended to operate as a filmmaker, it wouldn't surprise me if he was specifically intending to rip off Gor, if the books are still written ITTL.
