Inteteresting question. Not too long ago I came across an article where it said instead of Kim Jong Il gaining absolute control, Kim Il Sung at one point wanted to divide the leadership of the party, the government and the armed forces between his three sons. If this happens, you might avoid the...

The 1995 Norwegian Missile Crisis. The 1999 Pristina Airport Incident. Maybe even the 2008 Georgia War if USA attacks as some people wanted. There was once a list of close calls when it came to starting WW3 that listed several post-1991 incidents. Can't recall where exactly I saw it. So no...

I wouldn't call all of Soviet history in Ukraine a "disaster" but if CP victory means no Holodomor and no Nazi occupation (WW1 German victory means no German revanchism and so forth) than maybe you are right. Though it would be ironic as in such a world Eastern European nationalist movements...

And why would CP victory be any better than OTL? OTL the CP ended up supporting a dictatorship by a Cossack strongman as "their man" in Kiev.

Relatively developed you say? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_Austrian_Galicia You have proof of this assertion?

This clashes with Ukrainian nationalism. So you would need a POD at least sometime in the 19th century (unless you are one of those silly people that believes Ukrainian nationalism sprang overnight from the ether in WW1 period as a Germano-Bolshevik ploy :rolleyes:) to alter it. Of course, if...

By "bad" do you mean "communist, aligned with Moscow"? Because that's what was defined as being "bad" in the West during the Cold War. No powers on either side of the Iron Curtain had qualms about working with dictatorships as long as they were on "our side".

Hardly ASB. N.A.T.O. was formed in 1949 and democracy in Western Europe was hardly stable at the time. France could be taken over by a military junta had the 1961 Algiers putsch succeed or it could go authoritarian as an alternative outcome of the 1968 unrest. Communists could come to power in...

Can we please make this a collaborative TL? :D I can probably find some obscure PODs from around this time...

We know from the prologue that in 2012 Pakistan is in a state of "continued civil war". And with the assassination of physicist Abdul Khan it is unclear if Pakistan developed nukes in this TL. Yeah it's fun to think of how things would go different in individual's lives in this TL. For myself, I...

Funny enough, since the word "union" and "commonwealth" start with the same letter in the Russian language both UIS and CIS would have the same abriviation in Russian: С.Н.Г. So when can we expect to see Dr. Strangelove? What does "TLIAW" stand for?

The flag belongs to this OTL organization: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Independent_States

You mentioned before you had something in mind for an "Africa spinoff". I'm curious what that would focus on. Or would Africa just be part of the hypothetical Middle East spinoff? Also, you said you had a few things done/almost done that didn't fit anywhere (e.g.: the Dr. Strangelove remake)...

A TL where the premise is that South African economy is stronger in the 2000s, resulting in "trickle down" effect in its neighbors of Lesotho and Swaziland. Thus in 2006 Lesotho and South Africa put a joint bid in for the 2014 Winter Olympics which would be held in the Afri-Ski resort in Lesotho...

I figured you included Kazahstan thing due to the recent talk of the possible name change for the country and thought "was this "Yellowrus" rooted in something OTL?" (in the thread on AH.com about the possible name change someone suggested they should change it to the Golden Horde but it was...

The part with Zhirinovsky and Sharapau was amusing. Yellowrus? What's that derived from? P.S.: didn't you before say the last part will feature Klichko "in a surprising roll"?

Yeah, given the geo-political situation in the TL I doubt Dugin would write Foundations of Geopolitics in the first place (or if he did it would be different) Myself, I'd be more interested in seeing Leonid Simonovich-Niksic make an apperance.

You're thinking about an African spin-off? Will we finally see Sergei Kotov make an appearance? :D He was educated in UK iirc.

I was thinking more along the lines of what you wrote here: Muhammad dies before he is able to unite Arabia, averting the rise of Islam. Thus the period is marked between conflict between Bazyntian Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Zoriastrianism of the Sasanian Empire in the Middle East and Europe...

...most of your scenarios and titles look like they came from a sex fantasy (no ofense). I fail to see how many of them can come about without ASB intervention. Maybe they could work if humans evolved differently?
