While I'm not an expert by any stretch of imagination, I can't say I'd expect it to be very viable, on the basis that there isn't any group, ethnic or linguistic, capable of be domineering over all others in a consistent manner. Religious unity can get only so far (also because there were and...

If you mean its title, well, it had that title on Fanfiction.net, simple as that. As for the infamy, as I mentioned in my post above, the story featured a goth (or "goff") OC called Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, a Slythering 7th year student who has Satanist friends doing things Emo...

A lot of the success of that fanfiction had to do with the fact the writer, on top of adding American High School clicquès that are of dubious reality, also managed to write everything in a way that completely went any sort of canon for the sake of... glorifying goths, I think? Harry Potter...

Yeah, Rome actually conquering parts of the Americas is wildly implausible, to say the least. What is slightly more plausible would be the possibility of them having a vague awareness it exists. Not very awesome, but would change a fair few attitudes once Rome does fall and the Middle Ages...

Though I can envision some parties wanting to give more importance to the Marcia Reale D'Ordinanza and accompaining anathem, since presumably, like OTL, both kept up the same importance.

Belli's Romanesco is still very much a product of Tuscan being influential, though. The one spoken in the Middle Ages had the issue of lacking literature. Anyhow, Francis of Assisi wrote Il Cantico delle Creature in both Latin and Umbrian Vulgar, perhaps he could be the starter of a series of...

A good POD would be the Chinese Communist Party deciding by happenstance to absolutely want to build a city on lands where pandas live. The problem would be finding a good reason to do so, though, given that said lands are mountains... maybe it happens because they're in a hurry to house the...

Everything but being in power, I think. Assuming she still studies Chemistry, she becomes a scientist inventing a new form of plastic or perfects an existing one that is basically known only to experts in the sectors; if she happens to decide to go into politics, she gets elected mayor of...

The slogan "Una Razza, Una Faccia" ("One Race, One Face") written on a wall in Rhodes. The slogan refers to the similarities an shared history between the Italians and the Greeks, and has seen much use in the Fascist propaganda in Greece proper during the Dimitrios Ioannidis years and in the...

I mean, it's true that Italy is the most liberal of the CIS members, but the idea that they would have full-on gay marriage sounds rather unlikely: Italy IOTL has it, but still isn't called "marriage", and that's without fifty years of fascist dictatorship. As I stated elsewhere, the most likely...

The Brigate Rosse start using the Canton Grigioni and Canton Ticino as base of operations. Aside from issues with Italy trying to investigate them, over time they (the Brigate rosse) start recruiting among the less fortunate of that populance, until a big enough group decides to split off and...

Too similar? Atlantropa is likely not a thing, for starters, since the way it has been described there's no indication Germany attacked Spain to make it (nor there's any reason for Italy to agree, given that from the mod makers of the FoM timeline's perspective Mussolini isn't considered having...

But how does this happens? It's important to know. If Italy keeps Lybia because she kept being neutral during WW1 and WW2 (I seriously doubt the absence of Italy would've caused a better-treated Germany), and so there's no one to tell her to stop, there could be a gradual expulsion of native...

Empire Earth 2 had the American campaign that had the URSS and the US actually fighting in over the Bering Strait. In that timeline, the Cold War ended when Americans successfully defended a community centre in Alaska while also embarassing the Soviets by stealing a single stealth plane to the...

Screenshot from an uncesored version of Black, Blue & Burgundy III, the Paradox Interactive Grand Strategy game set in the Cold War and the Cool War and up to the New Millennium, modded to have all historical flags. The game offers the option to play all indipendent powers of the 1946-2000...

Cover of Crusader Kings, the first and so far only foray of Paradox Interactive in the world of Medieval Grand Strategy. It put the player in the shoes of a "dynasty spirit" (that's what the tutorial called it) controlling a single character from 1052/1066/1015, depending on which copy you had...

Poster for Lion of the Desert, an American anti-colonial film made by one Jassem Ali Fahas, an Amero-Lybian director, in 1973. The movie, which was about the Italian colonial administration in the early XXth century and its flaws, was critically acclaimed in the USA and in a lot of African...

A photo of Axum's archeological site. The ancient capital of the Aksum (or Axum) Empire has been centre of many controversies ever since the Italo-Ethiopian Peace of of the Seventies: Ethiopia, who claims to be a descendant of the Aksum Empire, has petitioned to get it back, even drafting up...

Map of the national parks in the regions of Friuli, Slovenia and Istria regions (in green). A lot of Slovenian revivalists criticize the existence of the Parco Nazionale dell'Oltredava e della Carinzia as-is as a relic of "deslovenianization", and want to turn the area of former Maribor back...

Fortunato Depero's cover of the book Il Cavaliere Metallico, a science fiction novel about a carametallo , a half-machine half-human hybrid, named Orlando, who wanders the stars in search of Farnesa, the sole woman capable of making him complete and, thus, wholly human. In his quest, he joins...
