  1. PC: Prussia as Holy Roman Emperor

    So let's imagine that sometime during the 18th century (or 19th century in a TL where Napoleon doesn't dismantle the HRE), Prussia wins some sort of crushing military victory over Austria. They've destroyed their army, marched into Vienna and they can basically dictate whatever terms they want...
  2. Independent Western Australia in 1933

I know people always talk about Iraq as a counter-balance to Iran. Would...

But what if U.S. territory didn't extend past the Mississippi River (setting aside why for a moment)? How do they deal with...
