I'm probably going to make a map for the Holy Latin Empire scenario. Stay tuned for that.

I essentially just wanted to make this thread for speculation of what the future holds for various timelines. Examples of what I mean are things like b_munro's take on a modern Decades of Darkness, the modern Kaiserreich scenarios you see sometimes, and the various Watchmen sequels we've gotten...
