I kind of want to say the Battleship Yamato or one of the I-400 class submarines, but the latter weren't technically scrapped and the former definitely doesn't count. Plus, I find it doubtful either would be preserved, given the Americans made damn sure IOTL the Soviets couldn't get their hands...

Sondstead, although I'm presently on something of an indefinite hiatus I suppose. :p

I would not have guessed the player behind Hatsunia was an AH.commer, to be honest. :p

That has got to be the absolute nuttiest set of occupation zones ever depicted on this website. :D

…you think Michelle Bachmann had a legitimate chance of becoming President? :eek::p

Ahem. You guys are forgetting the option of, if the Soviet space program is boosted a little bit, insertion-via-Buran. :p

To be pedantic, one shouldn't be asking that question as Air Force One is a call sign used for any USAF aircraft the President is on; if Air Force One is hijacked, the President would be onboard, and for that reason probably the toughest security regime in the world will apply, and so a...

Yeah, TACOS is way too complicated. Hence I default to UCS when a more map-specific scheme isn't warranted. Plus, UCS is indie and old school. Using TACOS, what are you, a square? ;):p

UCS purism represent! Heathens will be burned, survivors burnt again! :p

…I offer a bounty of one cookie to whoever makes a map of the Cheesecake Republic. :p You would think that, wouldn't you? ;)

Meh. Yeah. But eh, Esperanto sounds goofy to me. :p The trouble would be making it an internationally recognized country.

No World War I, Neutral Moresnet survives longer, and the popularity of Esperantism grows. After a few years, the Mayor declares that Esperanto will be used alongside Dutch, French, and German as an "official" language. Somehow Moresnet is recognized as independent from Belgium and Germany, and...

While not a European colony, if one of the big stumbling blocks is distance, with a POD far enough back you could potentially keep Japan weaker and make Korean stronger (as has been discussed several times here). This is followed by Korea, as a rough Japan analogue, somehow managing to bring...

Any other (literal) last minute votes? :p Given it's bad form to vote for yourself, and also given VT45 did quite a good job on Narragansett Air, I cast my vote for his entry. :)

If they really went for broke, they might've been able to, but it seems quite doubtful. What's more likely and just as interesting would be Canada as the second nuclear power, and, as already mentioned, Canada was a big part of the Manhattan Project and was for a time perhaps the second most...

God no, not in the serious AH side of the site. This thread absolutely shouldn't be in post 1900.

Well that's pretty flagrantly (and obnoxiously so) in violation of the rules and spirit of the MotF. :rolleyes:

No Iranian revolution with sunshine and roses great power Iran holding a sphere of influence from Somalia to Australia, and we're still talking about President Dubya, 9/11, and the Arab Spring? :eek: ;):p

The image doesn't seem to be working for me. :o

Good call on the Falklands, Beedok, but you missed the Aroostook and Oregon countries. :p
