So, I'm writing an article on the subject and have been reading David K. Johnson's book and (thus) I'm now acquainted with the lavender scare. Would it be possible for it not to happen and (specifically) for Washington D.C. continuing to have a vibrant LGBT culture well into the seventies and...

Slightly off-topic: does anyone here have any good material (books etc) on how the FBI was successful in doing away with (most) centralized crime structures?

Make a major bunker there and have it be the seat of government after a nuclear war?

Had not a Genghis figure ascended to unify Mongolia, could some other people around the same time go in a conquering spree, filling the space the mongols did in our universe? I mean, is there some sort of cultural exceptionalism that made the mongols the mongols or could some other nation have...

Great map! Just a minor nitpick, the 'Cisplatine' would probably be 'Transplatine' ITTL.

Feudal futures are always interesting stuff. I'll take that the greenish-yellow state on the midwest is a raider tribes, mongol golden horde kind of thing, right? And that thing in Alaska, is it russian or related to the equivalent of Russia on this timeline? I mean, considering its color...

Dude, with all those claims South America must be a powder keg, huh? Lots of wars happening there?

Let me guess, alternatehistorypt? To be truly a tribute to him you'll have to do a photoshop of an astronaut of this sozialistische weltrepublik landing on the moon. :p

Ahh... But of course. The UK = Japan, Northern Ireland = North Korea and the Republic of Ireland = the Republic of Korea. Right? :D

Marketed shortly after their independence on the late 1990s, Digital Devil Saga was the name of the catalonian translation of Diablo. Das Duke-of-El-Paso-lied

Huh, how does that work? People don't pay for their services and they still get a profit? From where, subsidies?
