  1. Nasser's Dream: An Arab Empire

    As you said; ASB. Further, there were other attempts at smaller scale federations in the form of the Federation of Arab Republics, United Arab Republic and United Arab States. In each case the federation failed, and that was only with two or three countries at a time. Nasser appears to be both...
  2. Falklands war goes poorly for UK. Do they use nukes? What's the internatl response?

    Short of said weapons being used in London to maximum effect (ie, hundreds of thousands infected, tens of thousands dead, etc) no, even then I can't imagine the UK using a nuclear weapon on Argentina. In practical terms I cannot conceive of a scenario short of a nuclear strike on the UK it's...
  3. Ireland After a Nuclear Exchange

    Well I can't, or rather refuse to imagine the British Cabinet going at it under those circumstances either, but an organized government is another matter, particularly in the long term. Furthermore even if only one fifth of the British population survives in the long run they would still have...
  4. 1940: American Preemptive Strike Against Japan

    Presumably Germany declares war against the US sooner, and it is the Western Allies that get the joy of the meatgrinder of the German army sans the eastern front eating a good half of it. The big question here; what does the Soviet Union in a timeline where the Allies and Axis are grinding away...
  5. Seat of a devolved English assembly

    Mann is not part of the UK. And even if it were its limited location/facilities and low population compared to other locations make it an unappetizing choice. Have a nice day. MRegent
  6. Seat of a devolved English assembly

    Coventry, purely for the "Parliament of Devils" thing. It is simply too good an opportunity to miss. On a serious note, why not simply house the bureaucracy in the current areas, as they would likely just be parts of Westminster departments shifted to a new holder. The same being for the...
  7. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    Firstly the government has alternate seats available, St James's Palace for one example, the UK Government has no need to leave the country and would likely be ostracized for doing so in an act of seeming cowardice. Secondly America is not purely driven by self interest, and even if the...
  8. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    Successfully destroying Parliament (including The Queen) via such an attack would most likely be an effective way of provoking Europe as a whole into an assault. After all, now that a Western Government has been decapitated suddenly the lives of every leader in the continent is in jeopardy...
  9. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    The European Parliament may be a symbol of European unity, but is relatively low on the list. It lacks the authority and history of a national legislature and is merely one chain in the EU legislative process. A rubber stamp on a scale slightly higher than the House of Lords, and more a...
  10. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    A mass attack would no doubt have a greater effect, if for no other reason than having attacked every nation attending,including nations that don't use kid gloves like China and Russia. However I was thinking something along the lines of the late 90s'/early 2000s' given the dating. Have a...
  11. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    I was not aware that the Vatican was a member of the EU. Have a nice day. MRegent
  12. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    In the case of Europe I could not think of any one target that would provoke a similar reaction to America to every nation-state, so I simply chose one that would provoke a European nation. The only other thing would have been something like NATO headquarters, however that would also be an equal...
  13. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    Agreed, however in the UK itself any party that did not at least put out a show of cracking down on the people who shot the Queen would find itself losing support rapidly. Depending upon who it is it that performed the assassination, the result may be something horrifying. Have a nice day. MRegent
  14. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    There is no issue of a lack of potential monarch, the issue here is that her Majesty is one of the few people that being killed in the UK would provoke said nation in a significant manner. You could shoot a government Prime/minister and the emotional response would be one of outrage and a demand...
  15. What if 9/11 occurred in the EU?

    Off with her head. If I were some terrorist organization leader seeking to strike a blow against the Western establishment/imperialsim I would seek a target that has a great symbolic value, would normally be considered untouchable and could be destroyed with a small group. I would target The...
  16. How to Save Your Skin in a Nazi Victory

    European mongrel, with a British majority. Blue eyes, dark blonde/ light brown hair. I should be fine, barring someone finding a Maori ancestor that or may not have actually existed. Have a nice day. -MRegent
  17. Canada, Australia and New zealand stay with Britain

    Incorrect my good man, the Commonwealth may have begun as the British Empire but has long since become a talking shop. Her majesty is our Queen by her title as Queen of Australia, the British crown lost its' authority over Australia many years ago. There is a very minor movement across the...
  18. Victoria II

    Curious, on a side note I just spent my first game as Japan, having managed to become a great power in the 80s'. However the population has undergone a crash fro a peak of 7.5 mil to now just below 6 mil, apparantly all my people are running off to america after I built ports to invite the Euros...
  19. Victoria II

    I was not aware that it was possible for such a thing to happen within the game mechanics, curious. Also congratulations for having managed to troll France into becoming American. Have a nice day. -MRegent
  20. Non-Spanish Monarchy in America?

    I'm not entirely certain what you are asking here, there was and is a non-Spanish monarchy on the North American contienent. We call it Canada, if having the crown held by the British Monarch does not match your peramiters, there could easily be a POD where in order to assert independence while...
