Presuming that inside the Sphere there are; Philippines, entire China, Indochina and Indonesia. Relations with Russia are top priority ( cordial at least ) and Moscow doesn't have any large ambitions on the area, so no direct pressure. What is the behavior in the coming decades of such a...

Plus they wanted Sanjak region so they can stop a direct border communication between Montenegro and Serbia.

As mentioned, Stolypin and if you want autocracy intact, Okhrana must be made more ferocious, similar to Cheka and NKVD. Shooting all the proto - Lenins you can find would be a must. I don't know if the surviving empire would have any success with imitating the policies of Ottomanism, but it...

I voted Persian. All must bow their knee to the glorious Armor Dinner Jacket! Being serious, Sassanid for me as well. Pretty borders and not over stretched as the Achaemenids.

Let's say that it plays out as it is stated in the titles. Mexico retains all her territories, including Texas, losses from 1848, whole deal. What would be the goals of such Mexico? I presume they would be inclined to try an conquer every single ounce of land that belonged to Spain in the...

This could be done as a consequence of the long term Russian fixation on the Far East instead of Europe. Something like this: 1) IRL Ming - Russian relations had one interesting interaction, if I remember in 16th cent. Ming considered Muscovy/Russia as a subordinate inside their tributary...

Let's say that Italy had much more luck in accomplishing all her territorial goals by the end of 3rd independence war of 1866. Austrians are so caught by surprise that in the end they not only have to cede Veneto but all the lands that were goal of irredentism of Italy ( South Tirol, Trieste...

In anticipation of Crusader Kings 2 "Old Gods" expansion I got a bit of dilemma. On the one side you have a mid 9th century Byzzies with smaller territory than in pre Manzikert years, surrounded by First Bulgarian Empire and Caliphate of the Abbasids. And in the other period I'm...

Somehow I find the argument for the West of not tolerating Greece being communist is the Soviet access to Mediterranean a little passe or too 19 cent. Soviets could have judging by that scenario IRL made Albania into one giant naval base of theirs but they didn't. You would see more troops...

I'm thinking about them in the borders of 11th century, more precise as at the start of Crusader Kings 2 ( hate me:D ). What would their first target be; 1) Stabilization of Balkans 2) Taking their part of Italy from the Normans and Saracens 3) Simply pushing further into Armenia or...

ERE that exists in its intact borders federated with Russia into some sort of Orthodox God's nation. "From Cairo to Vladivostok", sounds like a cool name for a documentary.

I wouldn't have a game crush on Makoto and Sakura :D.

I read somewhere that he wanted to offer human sacrifices to Odin in Berlin's squares to turn the german luck around.

It would be possible to retain this status but it would mean that in time Brazil would inevitably become a dominant factor in this state. Hell, it would be only state that directly dominates one part of Europe. Maybe some sort of compromise like rotating capitol cities every decade between...

If he didn't make Batman Returns I wouldn't have fetish for latex and my first masturbation wouldn't be on Catwoman.

Tsarist for me. Bozhe, Tsarya khrani!

An intensity of wars that happened between Spain and France IRL would have been gazilliondupeled between this scenario islamic united Iberia and France. As such, the drain of resources would've been more evident in the slower progress of colonization for the stated civilizations. If you kick in...

I was watching a lecture online from some guy that stated that N.Korea's ideology is basically rooted in Japan's imperialism and that they also borrowed a couple of details from the concept of racial purity of Yamato people. So maybe some sort of a oriental "ottomanism" could be in order...

The biggest irony was that in the latter years with the russian colonization of Central Asia UK proposed to the tsar that if they would keep their borders 200 or 300 miles ( can't remember now ) farther from Afghanistan they could do with the Ottoman empire as they pleased.

Can you please name some of them or at least link me an online source for these? I never found any word about this on my own. The only thing connected in any way about this topic I found when I was working part time in my countries national library in a 19 cent book by some french academic how...
