Scottish Colonial Ceylon. (assuming the red things are lions) This:

Thanks for the info. It seems that Star Trek was a part of a very mainsteram trend of optimism, pro-Americanism, and modernist design in the sixties. Now E:A might tackle contemporary politics and culture in a more heardtrong manner and will be more "grounded" in reality. It might tackle issues...

Polish-Lithuanian Vietnam this:

Flag of a Holy Roman Empire that also rules Denmark and Iceland. Explain:

A Theocratic South African Union. Explain:

That would be interesting. With Gary Seven being replaced with Gary Eight, Gary Nine, etc. Poor Roberta Lincoln would have a hard time keeping up. And yes, Star Trek doesn't have to be canceled. The first season of E:A might have an episode where Gary and Roberta travel to Kirk's time to...

The last episode of the 2nd season of Star Trek was intended as pilot of a spin-off TV series featuring Gary Seven as a "futuristic James Bond", in case Star Trek got canceled after the second season. However, Star Trek was renewed for a third season and Assignment Earthwas never produced. WI...

I have found the board to be Russophobic... and Francophobic to a lesser degree. Three three most commonly wanked countries on AH.com are Britain, USA and Germany, so that translates to Russia-screw and France-screw being very common.

The big thing here is affordability. If you take a look at the price of Xerox Alto, it easily topped $10,000. Apple's great innovation was making the whole thing affordable-- although its first venture into GUI computing, Apple Lisa was also quite expensive. Xerox simply developed a...

I knew that riff was older than civilization itself!

WI, Instead of South Africa there is a "South African Federation" encompassing SA and most of its neighbors. Boring idea, but fulfills OP's requirements.

Sure, go ahead!

An ASB/Fantasy situation: Mars has an inhabitable environment but there is no petroleum or coal there. However, Uranium and Plutonium are plentiful. During the 1960s and 70s the USA, EEC USSR/Warsaw Pact and China start colonizing Mars. WWIII happens but it is restricted to Earth as the Martian...

I second Eve of Destruction. I can totally see some down and out busker strum the song while the world is going to hell around him...

WI Jesus of Nazareth survives crucifixion and heads east to gather lost tribes of Israel? I love all these "Jesus in India and China" myths... so why not write a fictional TL from the point of view that they actually happened.

The 'Lun' is good, but I am talking about something akin to this: If you excuse the civilian purpose, the 'Aerocon' is the size of 12 Boeing 747s . Certainly big enough to carry a reactor. And it would be used for strategic lift, rather than as a missile ship. No. It would use Aircraft...

has anybody done a nuclear powered 'Ekranoplan' before? Since they were supposed to be the size of cruisers and large submarines, a reactor might as well be incorporated.

Ralf Hütter:Along with Florian Schneider, the leading figure in German "Electro Classical Music", arguably the only genre of German music popular outside the GGR. This international popularity is highlighted by the fact that he releases songs in English. Although his works celebrate and glorify...

I was thinking along the lines of Franco choosing a Royal successor that abided by his absolutist views. But then, I don't know much about the transition to democracy in Spain... so I made it a AHC instead of a WI. Sorry if offense was caused. Without the EU, Luxemburg is a possibility...

Spain is the first nation to come to my mind, but what other nations could have become/remain absolutist till 2010? What changes would this need?
