If Zyuganov had been elected, what kind of policies might he follow? I remember that election (I would have been in 5th grade at the time and was only beginning to get interested in politics) and all I can think of is Zyuganov promising to nationalize the vodka industry and use the profits to...

In that case, what are some OTHER presidents that could provoke such a thing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Corn_Rebellion Something like this, if the American Expeditionary Force in France gets a bloody nose? Wilson starts having protesters rounded up using the Sedition Act and finally...

The "military and police are behind executive authority" part could be tricky, especially if Trump overreacts to, say, some 2X version of the women's march or the March for Science and orders them dispersed by force. That the protesters of Tahrir Square didn't get Tianamenen'd (sp?) isn't for...

This might be a little too modern politics, but perhaps the Russia-Trump thing gets worse, the Republican-dominant Congress refuses to even investigate, and we end up with a "Color Revolution" right here in the US? Trump is forced to resign by massive popular protest, strikes, etc.

Fair enough. Speaking of Hadrian, I like him as a cultural magnate running a library in Kuwait. :)

Interesting update. A professional Roman bureaucracy and the Perpetual Edict looks like it might be the basis for some Roman version of Common Law. A Moor succeeding another Moor does look like something that would raise eyebrows though.

Trajan and Nerva would have been predecessors, not successors. I was wondering if you were dropping a spoiler-bomb before I saw the names.

Interesting timeline. Keep up the good work. That said, I'm skeptical of Buddhism absorbing Christianity and becoming the religion of the state in the same way Christianity did OTL. The same with Chinese philosophies overpowering indigenous ones. Mahayana Buddhism allows for the incorporation...

Not yet.

What kind of civilian casualties would it take to inspire international outrage at this point? We're only a few years away from WWII in which whole cities were incinerated from the air and Stalin has just wrecked seven kinds of $%#)$#@ out of China. We're also talking about Muslim Egyptians, who...

Defeated British at Gallipoli and Kut.

My point is, even if it was abandoned a few years in as impractical, Poland might well be depopulated or reduced to some kind of Indian reservation in the "General Government" area. And that'd be bad enough even if never reaches "percentage of the world population" levels.

Per Daniels' point, even if Generalplan Ost was ultimately abandoned due to impracticality, it would be a hellacious mass-death nightmare.

Just because the Afrikaners are racist doesn't mean they'd buddy up to Germany, although I can imagine some will. The Afrikaners are also very staunch Calvinists, and if there are Nazi anti-Christian excesses (real or imagined), that could alienate them. "What? You want us to work with some...

I thought SS polygamy was OTL.

On the recommendation of board member Petike I started listening to the skeptic podcast "Monster Talk" and they interviewed Lyle Blackburn, who has done an extensive amount of research on the Fouke Monster, also known as "The Beast of Boggy Creek." He's studied not only accounts of people who'd...

CalBear's scenario features "Aryan enough" Russian women taken from the labor tribute that Molotov's puppet Soviet remnant sends the Reich (most of them don't come home) used for this purpose.

Yep. "The Anglo-American Nazi War," which is really, really dark.

Guess who just made my blog? http://accordingtoquinn.blogspot.com/2016/05/what-if-stalin-had-survived-his-stroke.html Thought you'd like to know.

In the film X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, mutant extremist Mystique breaks with mutant extremist (and her sometimes boyfriend) Magneto to dramatically save U.S. President Richard Nixon from assassination. As a result, by the time of X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (I haven't seen it yet, so no spoilers) mutants...
