Your mission, if you accept it (an idea spinned from a suddent idea in The Future Spread of Religions thread in the Future section), is to make Candomblé - the local 'voodoo'/afro-'american' religion -THE religion of ATL Brazil, instead of Catholicism (but having a coexistance is very fine), or...

Split from one.. well, a few even threads on the history of the region, like that one with a settled state on the Volga... The hagiography said the eastern slavs had their first big states, i think, after a conquest and rule - 'yoke' of swedish norse warriors, the Rus. Or something. What...

The two cultures (groups) - persians/iranians and (north-"aryans") indians are related deeply, since long... But history, wars, and probably geography kept them aside separated... how bad it was, and it is possible to keep closer links, culturaly and the others, since Antiquity? Could we have...

Well, it is not to lead at ATL work per se for NOW, but I bet it could be usefull... Not sure where it belonged though - may be before 1900 in some cases, or Non Political Chat, so... move as needed. I was wondering now and then about some dynasties of old in various countries, that made...

Well, as it said... What if (and HOW) the 'japanese miracle' in the 60s never happened, or if Japan grew more moderatly and humbly? How would be the world without the economical might of Japan in past decades? 1. Economically, would things change a lot, in Asia specially? I can see that the...

kinda like my topic on a Romanche Swisterland, and other posts of mine... How changes up the nation some, mix things. PODs, ideas... I played with languages some in my Retho-romanche Swisterland thread... So, how turning the tides more? A deeply, much more french (base french, or the...

Another odd idea, albeit based on something else - I was thinking about it for my fantasy world... We know knights. Warriors using horses and all (in theory), cavalry and also societies and groups, nobility, etc.... But in ATL, can we have a distinct, different from of knighthood appearing...

Odd ideas of old of mine... You see, I always wondered.. There is no spiritual-religious or philosophical opposition to Vegetarism? Is that possible? Is a 'Carnivorism' - deliberate meat-more, or meat only diet, is possible on that aspect of life? On the biological aspect, I think its...

Cultural, musical based idea; The creation of operas and related musical genres (and shows genre) changed the path of what is occdental music, classical music, giving it somes very famous pieces - who never heard by example the Rides of the Valkiries by Wagner? But it came as an odd idea...

Current ideas; 1. Is there any way to have *Rome* (and -OR - Papal States), as the ancient legacy, lead or hold all the reunification process of Italy? Like maybe a... 'Japanese Empire' scenario - the Pope as the rallying figure - instead of a repoussoir, like against HRE emperor, maybe...

Delicate subject. The question if it was a good move was surely hotly debated out of the country, and even in. I bet the right was not happy... (Unless they where on lines of guns then..) And I bet many foreigners derided it. As well, I wonder if the USA was not happy with it. At the end...

Now, a spin off of the "The Effect of A Stronger Africa on Human History" thread; I have wondered if there could be maybe links between India and Africa (maybe by Arabia) since early(ier) days. Could we end up with like, a commercial routes set between by example modern region of Kenya and...

As it says... Sorry, I would have revived or updated a topic instead, but the search feature got an allergy to words like 'New France' or 'Nouvelle-France'. :( Two parts discussions. How to make it survive, how to strenghten it, so it at least live along british colonies, if it is possible...

From what I have heard, cats remained for a long time in Occident an exotic animal, and slowly spread north... The ferrets was used for much of it's 'work niche' and some stuff like rabbit hunting, it is? Could it have remained a big pet, and not an 'exotic' stuff now? Would the cat remains...

Okay. The Huguenots where French Protestants, Calvinists I think, who fled France for the Low Countries and Britain, and notably the Colonies in America due to religious persecution... a lost for France, it is argued. But this is not what I talk of, actually. An hypothetic reversed, mirrored...

Aka their liberation war. I saw a documentary on the 'harkis', the peoples who decided to fight for their clans, homes, etc - and France. Boy, this was dark, as bad a Vietnam 2,0 got. Now, can the thing be even more complex, perhaps darker and worse? Like... Involvement of neighboors...

So yeah, maybe somewhat half-serious idea coming from a discussion that a bit annoyed me. Your mission, if you accept it, is to make the franco-belgian school of comics, as called coloquialy 'bédé(s)', as wildly popular in NA/Anglosphere, and the world even if possible, as japanese (and...

Okay, here it is. Odd idea. Swisterland supposedly have not only Swiss German and French as languages, but also some Italian, and a less know roman familly language called Romanche, of this Rhaeto-Romance branch, albeit this one is a very small minority nowaday, 3% of speakers maybe max. I...

Set in the the Pre 1900 parts due to that the possible POD is surely that far... Sorry, sensible subject I know, but bear this dark idea... It's a Tl idea about LBGT rights and ideas and all.. In our world, from monotheism religions and their dislike of homosexuality, we have a deep set...

Mod, feels free to move to Chat if needed. Now, some question that may be usefull to anyone making Canada related tl, and maybe a start of an idea. I have never been sure of WHAT was exactly the america attitude toward Quebec's sovereignity movement, be it officialy or... the shadowy real...
