I think the reason is that Haywood was born in Salt Lake, and so it's named in his honour. I'm guessing Haywood didn't flee to the USSR here, did he live to see the revolution in the US? On that note, what did happen to Joe Hill in this timeline? I never read anything about him being...

Shouldn't that be "Rákosi was captured and exiled..." instead of "Nagy"? Unless I'm reading it all wrong, I thought the Soviets sided with Nagy and invaded to stop Rákosi (and presumably Nagy wouldn't then be exiled just because).

I'd like to see the revisions finished up so we know what happened; it would help clear up any confusion about what's changed, especially with the revolution and civil war. Is anything from the "Red Dawn" thread getting revised, or are the revisions only to "Reds" and everything since then...

What with the seeming new class of managers, how will the class conflict arising in the UASR play out? Was the reason Salt Lake City's name was changed to Haywood City mostly to honour Haywood? 'Cause I don't really see Salt Lake as being too reactionary of a name. I'm from there, and...

I found the story really interesting, especially how the two main characters tied it all back to being proud that they come from a place that's so very socialist. Talk about surreal, for me anyway. Here are two ever-so socialist women, and as they denounce the poverty and sexism and classist...

Ahhh, update! Screaming like I'm seeing the Beatles live in concert. While I know everyone is looking forward to the Second World War, I, for one, am looking forward to hearing about the post-war World, I hope it proves to be quite interesting. I'll be interested to hear how the...

How are the revisions coming? I don't think there's been a new one put up for a while. I love reading those, and I think that they're more fleshed out and thus more interesting to read than straight-up old Reds-timeline.

Okay, I altered it to reflect this (I do admit that was the only part I was unsure of while making this), I even included the "Court of Last Resort" bit. In other changes, a slight one to "Provincial and Regional soviets", I changed the "administer regions/provinces they are responsible for"...

I came up with a chart that shows how the UASR government is structured, based on the information provided in the revised Basic Law. I included most of the powers given to each section, and added a bit of conjecture where necessary, but it's all based on the how the Basic Law describes it...

Hm, does it come from Eurasia of the world of Nineteen Eighty-Four? What with the "Freedom is Slavery" slogan and the general almost-soviet-but-just-off look in the design and symbols.

I get the feeling the whole authoritarian vibe begins to die down after a few decades though, probably really with the counter-culture and youth movements in the 1960's, if my reading of information is correct in assuming their nature of pushing things in a more libertarian direction away from...

Actually, its from a game. Prevalence refers to the number of game countries that have that form of government.

I know you used the Political Compass' site to make this, but i want to know how you made it. Like, how exactly did you interpret the parties' stances on issues? I suppose you probably used the Election Primer from earlier, but that didn't give all the information. Anyway, just find it neat...

I suppose the reverse would be quite similar.

The USSR used Net Material Product. Basically it covers the material production industries, excluding most service industries. In the end years of the USSR it was about 70 to 75% of the GDP. But, if I recall correctly, somewhere in the previous timeline included a "KGB World Factbook" basic...

Will we learn at a later point the various makeups of the CPD and the CoU over time? I'm interested to see which parties are the biggest now, it'll be interesting to get a picture of the political landscape of the UASR over time and now.

I never realized that Irving Morrell was supposed to be based on and an homage/alternate character for Erwin Rommel until reading this thread. And I read the whole TL-191 series.

So what kind of support does each party have? What percentage of the populace supports which party? And I'd probably be with Socialist Party, maybe the SEU if I was feeling adventurous. I have friends who'd certainly be with the SEU.

Here are some coloured photographs from the late 1930's. You could potentially use some, or just have them for inspiration. I always find colour photographs seem more "real" than black and white. Link: http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2010/07/26/captured-america-in-color-from-1939-1943/

Wonderful!
