  1. No Debasement of US Currency

    That Wikipedia article makes no sense... "By comparing the current market value of the silver in a Flowing Hair Dollar ($13.14) to the market value of the metals in a Sacagawea Dollar ($0.06) we can conclude that the United States dollar has lost about 99.6 percent of its market value. This kind...

    Wait, I just noticed that you merged Rhode Island and Plymouth- how the hell did that happen?
  3. Flag Thread II

    Hm, I don't know much about Confucianism... In any case I guess it's fine for a Qing flag, but I don't think the Ming would use the yellow, wasn't that a Manchu color?
  4. Flag Thread II

    If I'm interpreting the character correctly, does it mean "water"? :confused:
  5. The most boring and uninspired sci-fi, fantasy or AH setting ?

    To be perfectly honest, I've always liked that sort of thing... I realize it's not plausible, but I don't mind the "rubberhead" aliens at least, though I guess if you say "no real complexity" that can be an issue...

    I think your "Dominant Party(ies)" is far too broad of a category.
  8. A World Of Laughter, A World Of Tears

    Please tell me you didn't just kill Kennedy...

    Well, here is my attempt at the Communazi US... the Sickle and Swastika, on the blue field of the Democrat Party.

    Hm- looks like a lot more Germans, and perhaps some more Hungarians in Transylvania... what caused that?
  11. A World Of Laughter, A World Of Tears

    Great update! Now Stennis just needs to get hit by a bus, and we'll have President Kennedy... that's what's going to happen, right? Right? :p

    Astoundingly unimportant trivia! Almost... The towns of Hingham and Hull were part of the Massachusetts-Bay Colony from their founding, bordering Plymouth Colony to the south. However, when Norfolk County separated from Suffolk County (I believe this was right after the ARW), Hingham and Hull...

    Hm, alright, so you weren't going for Rhode Island + Plymouth Colony... Of course, following county lines like that gives you an enclave :p

    What is that line that divides Rhode Island Plymouth Abomination from Massachusetts-Bay?
  15. If Kennedy survives, do we like him?

    Though, he'd still get a boost in long-term perception from the whole "First Catholic President" thing.
  16. 革命不是请客吃饭: A Different Cultural Revolution

    Oh wow, this timeline is turning out really interestingly... I can't wait to see what happens next.
  17. WI EV1's weren't destroyed?

    They break down, the third-party is unable to and General Motors refuses to supply replacement parts, lawsuits ensue, massive losses, GM fails a few years early. :p Alright, maybe not the most plausible scenario... More seriously, I think a more interesting scenario would be one where GM...
  18. Maharajah rates national emblems

    And the one on Belgium's website does not seem to even use the full coat of arms. (The website of the Belgian monarchy uses the same smaller arms, so I wonder if the full achievement has fallen out of use?)
  19. Maharajah rates national emblems

    Alright, I see the issues you had with Belgium, but I kind of feel like it deserves a higher score if only for the awesome arrangement of armorial banners at the top :p

    I've always thought that was a strange argument, given that they don't speak French and a lot of the population is descended from United Empire Loyalists... especially in 1820, I'd think they'd just stay separate?
