Yes, Japan is 'red'. Whilst they're not the first nation to fall to communism in this world (that honor goes to a number of African nations), they're the first 'superpower' to fall to radical leftists (the Emperor having been deposed in 1984 by a military-led, pro-democracy movement that later...

Alright; does anyone remember this map from a previous map thread? No? Well, here's a completed UCS'd version to go along with it anyway, the in-universe date being 2000. There have been a few border changes here and there, but it's the same map with the same story in essence. Honestly, I really...

I really think this belongs in the ASB forum.

Very, very beautiful map; I wouldn't mind seeing a full history behind it, but it's good enough on its own. Needless to say though, it appears you have flipped around the numbering for territory controlled by the RoC and Oman; so at first I thought China somehow gained control of Gwadar.

The year is 2295 AD, and the land once known as 'Western Australia' is beginning to claw its way back to civilization. Over two centuries following the end of the Fifteen Hour War and the depletion of the last great oil reserves, this isolated and arid region of the world is still heavily...

Are they? Honestly, I have very little knowledge about how the electors themselves are chosen, so if you're right that just adds a little more difficulty to the challenge then. When was such a regulation even set up though, because I'm sure I wouldn't find it in the constitution?

Well, what I mean when I say 'faithless electors' in the first post is that a group of faithless electors (say, enough to win a candidate an election) band together and elect someone against the will of the American public. Let me put it like this; Imagine an alternate world in which the...

Essentially what it says in the title; how could you get a scenario in which unfaithful electors decide to throw their votes to a runner-up or third party candidate the people didn't vote for (similar to the situation with Senator Harry Byrd in the 1960 election), enough for the 'loser' of the...

Yes; yes he would. Unless he's going as far left as LBJ did in OTL (which I really doubt), Smathers would pick up states such as Tennessee and Texas. Hell, look at the 1964 election and how many southern states he still captured, despite being in favour of civil rights legislation. Is...

But how did a Northern Republican win so many states in the south though? That's what's getting me; seriously, Lodge was a leader among the northern establishment in his party, and I really can't see the south flocking to him in the case of Smathers moving towards the center. A more realistic...

*COUGH COUGH* read this timeline *COUGH COUGH* Seriously, it's an extremely entertaining and interesting look at the 'reverse cold war' you're looking for
