That question is one that I loved to think about as well since I love Russia in that period. Let's see - first you would have to have a tsar and overall the system in Russia that wouldn't be complacent and inert from the time of Napoleon's defeat to Crimean war. Living on the old laurels as...

So Greater Netherlands exists beyond 1831, includes an entire Benelux area and has more power than Netherlands alone. I presume that her foreign relations would be pretty much revolving around anti French alliances or at least trying to be friendly with them. But would such a state be...

And the most of the sailors that were on the ship that made the discovery were Croatians from Dalmatian seaside. It should have been ours:mad:.

You also have to keep in mind that vampires are more easily to kill that way. Ask the Dawnguard:D.

For Albania there has to be counted in the pressure the Ottomans enforced on them after they crushed Skenderbeg and his League of Lezhe. After 30 years of successful "hit and run" style of warfare and tying down precious Otto manpower in the hills of Albania meant for other conquests it wouldn't...

An entire annexed Yugoslavia + Albania would be pretty borders, much like the Ostrogoths.

One thing that wasn't mentioned so far is that the process of hellenization of Egypt would be stronger than irl. How stronger is much more difficult to answer but it wouldn't be odd to see some 4,5 cent. later every major city beside Alexandria in the lower Egypt and the Nile Delta filled to the...

Yep, swamp Sudd, 1. century.

Concerning Independent State of Croatia Nazis wanted to annex Slovenia as a former territory of a Holy Roman Empire and resettle Slovenians into Bosnia to repopulate the emptiness that would be left behind with the murder of Serbian population.

In Russia there was a discussion in Duma about lifting moratorium on death penalty that was introduced right after SU fell. Instead it was prolonged. And here is a quote about the public opinion about it from wiki: "One of the latest polls reported that around three-quarters of those...

Maybe having them as archer units?

It would be possible, but how difficult would it be? I presume that the stated kingdom's armies would be prone to Europe wide ridicule at first, rate of sexual abuses would be sky high if not for a rigid discipline ( centuries too early for anything Prussian like but still...). Maybe as a strict...

Always, when I was thinking about AH as a greater power than she was I was going along the lines of "what would be her african colonies first?". Only thing that was on my mind was Egypt-Sudan as a direct, easy to get, across the sea location. Building on that she could have more dominance in ME...

You must also count in Russian Empire and her RL intervention. Let's just say that Tsar Nicholas I. isn't that much of an international reactionary or has something else to occupy him and rest of Europe ( earlier Crimean War maybe ? ) that deem that more worthy their attention than involving in...

I'm more curious about the way how would the region and the nations around the said state behave, what would be her friends, long term alliances, etc.. No matter if she came to be as a consequence of a total Russian victory in Crimean war, 1878 Russo - Turkish war, WW1 or something else...

Bloody easy. 1) At some point in history have russian conquest of Scandinavia, Norway primarily. 2) Don't sell Alaska to anyone. 3) Have Russia win a victory in a war against UK, big enough that would net them entire Canada.

You would have Neo with damn big ears.

Let's say that for the simplicity's sake that the states of the time discourage the emigration of its populations, no matter be they politically unfavorable, the poor or whatever rl reason was the primary incentive for them to emigrate in the first place. Going through wikipedia's articles...

Nah, although I as a Croat speaking with Shtokavian dialect am very much inclined to facepalm at the notion of me being classified as a Serb by the first map with dialects. P.S - if anyone wants to witness some real art of trolling and flamewars I direct you good sirs to BSN ( Bioware Social...

Very improbable, I mean just look at the ratio of population of two nations. Croatia/Russia - 4.2 mil/143 mil. I doubt it was that much different in the 10th and 11th cent, in the time of Kievan Rus ( They had approximately 7.5 mil people when Mongols invaded ). Now if White Croatians...
