...Crusader Kings 2 is on its way! :D However, there's a catch. Paradox're experimenting with viral marketing, so the official announcement won't come until this Facebook group has 25,000 members. For the sceptics amongst you, it was announced on the official Paradox forums by the administrator...

As the title says. I really had thought that the Dominion Peace Plan had been successful, but apparently last week's widening of the Irish Parliament's powers was too much for the Protestants to bear. Looks like this'll scupper the "Autonomous Ulster" plan.

Well, today is the day! 50 years since Hitler's regime collapsed. What progress have we made? What progress have we yet to make? Discuss.

Mowque and I are working on a timeline with a POD in the early twentieth century. We re looking for people with extensive knowledge in several areas. It will be posted on this site (among other places). Basically we're looking for people who know a lot about certain subjects of which we are...

The rules are simple. Post an alternate amendment to the US constitution. Nothing ASB, and please read the previous. Repealing is allowed. Same universe, and please number your amendment. I'll start off: Amendment I Congress shall make no law pertaining to religion; or abridging the freedom of...

In 1899/1900, the American government asked all the European powers with spheres of influence in China to agree to an "Open Door Policy" and respect Chinese territorial integrity. In OTL, it was informally agreed to in principle, and formally signed in the Nine-Power treaty of 1921. What if the...

It's often said that if the Archduke hadn't been assasinated on that fateful day, there would have still been a major conflict in Western Europe due to the rise of Nationalism, the alliance system etc. How can it be postponed? Bonus points for avoiding it completely or having the resulting war...

Here's a challenge for you: Prevent the rise of the Volksrepublic. POD no earlier than 1900, and bonus points if it is democratic in the present day. It can be split up as much as you like ;).

I, like most other people here, have read of the supposedly beneficial effects of the Moscow Olympics. All the stuff about allowing more journalism, more international scrutiny. Yes, I do know about the Tsar's recent reforms. At the end of the day, though, this is still a tyrannical dictatorship...

Well, everyone's talking about the bomb scare at Idlewild airport, what effect do you think it'll have on the political situation in Washington, and how do you think the presidential candidates will react?

WI on the day Mugabe was elected the first time (properly), he's assassinated by a white supremacist? He's remembered as a minor African hero and Zimbabwe goes on to...what? How does this affect Africa and the wider world?

Hey Comrades, here's a thought to chill your bones: What if Lenin had declared himself dictator of Russia? Now, obviously he's going to be overthrown fairly quickly, but what many people forget is that his political writings lead to m any of the institutions we see today. His book "On Socialism...

Now, Smallpox is mentioned a lot as weakening the Native Americans, so the European settlers...settled more easily. Well, what if there was some awful plague that the Native Americans had become immune to had developed, and was effective as smallpox on natives was. Is colonisation set back? How...

OK, I'm new here, but I've been reading a few threads on the American Civil War, and it's got me thinking, what if the US had constitutionally banned anyone from holding anyone else as a slave while in the process of becoming a nation, or very soon after. Could it have been a good propaganda...
