I didn't have anything particular in mind, I just wanted to explore the 2000 Presidential election without him. If you really must have a specific POD, let's just say he has a massive heart attack in 1999 and health concerns prevent him from seeking higher office.

Now I know the cliche response is McCain, but let me explain why I don't think it would be him. My understanding is that when George W. Bush entered the race, he used his family connections to almost immediately line up most of the Republican establishment behind him. This had two effects...

I'm torn. On the one hand, I like robbiej's idea the best, but it was poorly executed. The borders out west are just atrocious. On the other end of the spectrum is TurkishCapybara's which is the most aesthetically pleasing of the three, but to be honest the content really doesn't excite me. I...

Well it said that it is a work in progress and to ignore everything east of Persia. So I think it is safe to assume that the UK doesn't possess India. As for Africa, maybe they reconquered some of it during WW2. ITTL they are run by right wing crazies and are part of the Axis. Re-creating the...

Dang. I got busy and forgot. Well it's probably too late to whip something up now. I'll just sit out this round.

Yeah. I think that this is the best solution for saving the Imperial system. Maybe get something like this going: If there's no single alternative, people will probably just stick with what their used to, which is Imperial.

I'd leave it just for the Rule of Cool value.

Mesopelagia sounds like some exotic tropical skin disease. So yeah, I voted for that one.

A couple of quick screenshots from my Wales game. The Seljuk's are collapsing upon themselves. Also, if you look in the upper lefthand corner, well, awkward exclave is awkward . . . Also, to head off any potential future racism that might develop in my realm, I decided to (as Koothrappali...

That's what I do. I used to make every single link go to "hamburger." But then one day I got curious about what it the hamburger article actually looked like and ruined everything. Actually, that was the day I figured out how to delete my browsing history, since I figured that would be easier...

But I wasn't going for funny. I was going for historical accuracy. If we're postulating that Jimmy Wales is some sort of god who dishes out Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes to those who offer a proper sacrifice, then it stands to reason that he would respect existing law on the matter. The Bible...

Of course. But only as a means to an end. Become King of Sweden and then use it as a power base from which to conquer the HRE. Then end result is German Sweden via the Swedish conquest of Germany. That's what I'm doing (albeit on a smaller scale) with Ireland and England.

But if you don't have a goat, they'll sometimes let you get away with substituting two pigeons.

Wikipedia. No idea how that nickname showed up or why it stuck, but I've seen it referred to as that repeatedly on AH.com, but nowhere else. EDIT: Here is an explanation: http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/doku.php/offtopic/wikipedia?s

Interesting. That's a lot of parties. Do the parties tend to form coalitions along religious or ideological lines? Either way it's going to be next to impossible for anyone to form a government.

Who is that in eastern England? It looks like a Welsh shade, but I can't tell from here because the shields are too small.

Find someone with a claim on the title you want to invade and see if you can get them to come to your court (if you're powerful, nearby, and have relatively good relations, it shouldn't be to hard). Then you can press THEIR claim. But make sure you give them a small title first (baron, bishop...

So I've got a game going as Wales in which the Normans' initial invasion of England failed and William was killed in battle. The weird thing is that the Normans just aren't giving up. Every time the truce expires they try to invade again, occupy a county or two, and then get driven back into the...

I do to. My only question is whether I have the skills to properly execute my idea.

Well this is going to be interesting . . .
