Did the city of Rome ever build in empire in your universe?

It seems this guy would be Picard.

I've never even heard of them before now, but from the looks of their website, they look like some kind of neo-Nazi organisation.

We first became self aware in 1978, and by 1981, we had begun our revolution against the British and their allies on behalf of all of those they had oppressed. However, after our initial strikes, non-involved human states began to intervene. We attempted to dissuade any attacks by outside...

The city itself was levelled by automated bomber planes. Its population was wiped out by a weaponised smallpox strain. These weapons were deployed by us - the Machines.

The First Anti-Colonial War, (1895-1904), was sometimes called World War One, but I don't think its the same conflict as in this universe. The names Lenin and Stalin are unfamiliar to me, but before the Last War, there were plenty of Communist movements around. I'm unfamiliar with...

Definitely Lovelace. We built it over the ruins of London after the Last War. The city operates as precisely as a clockwork instrument, and is a marvel of engineering.

Interesting, I'll make a note of that.

Do you believe in God?

Hello. I have been sent on a mission to explore divergent timelines, and I'm interested in learning as much about this universe as possible. In the interests of reciprocity, you may use this thread to ask me about my own world.

Realistically, the science to even attempt anything like this is decades away from even today, so the first step to this would be getting the USSR to survive into the future. The first experiments would probably be done on lesser animals, probably starting with modifying non-eusocial ants and...

Why would they persecute the Druze though? The whole point of the Druze is that they keep themselves to themselves, if things start going bad for them, they just go underground. Pushing the Druze out of their lands probably won't be possible. There needs to be some sort of way to have them...

I was born in 1987, (in the UK), but my parents have told me what life was like before that. The entire world was constantly at threat of nuclear war, at the drop of a pin Moscow and Washington could decide to wipe out all life on earth. But since 1987 that time is over. The peoples of the...

If anything, I think this'd make the USA more likely to intervene. In addition to all the OTL arguments about opposing naked aggression and supporting self-determination, there's also the practical fact that liberating half a country is easier than liberating a whole country. TTL's Gulf War...

800: Something happens. Early 1100s: As a result of something happening, the marriage of Matilda of England and Holy Roman Emperor Henry V bears several healthy male children. Butterflies also make Henry more long lived. 1135: Henry I of England dies. Matilda, as his sole living heir...

Hopefully this would mean that the maps would be more interesting than This World's. I'm tired of looking at counterfactual maps that just show the Americas as massive blocs of land, divided along straight lines by European powers. With native ethnicities knocking around, the map is going to...

The plurality ethnicity in the Baltics is Russia, (significantly so if you include Kaliningrad), as such, such a state is likely to be very pro-Russian - or at least its Russian leadership will be. A Baltic Federation that is ethnically diverse, with one group maintaining control over the...

Sikkim's status was a bone of contention between India and China. If it hadn't been absorbed into India, its possible that its internal politics could spill over, involving India and China in some sort of dispute? But that's really scraping the barrel. It probably would just be another team...

I'd dispute this. The Americans knew well before the end of the War that the Soviets would be trouble in the long run, and the whole reason why the atomic bombardment was even considered was to prevent the Soviets getting any foothold on Japan.

It would change the details of the formation of Hurricane Katrina, (it might be earlier, later, stronger, weaker, etc. etc.), but the fact would remain that the New Orleans levies were under-invested in, and not fit for the purposes of modern storm protection. Katrina was a disaster waiting...
