  1. Would an independent Confederacy have a national sales tax as its main source of revenue instead of an income tax?

    Perhaps it’d drive the CSA apart? (After all, under their Constitution isn’t secession legal?)
  2. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    My point is that economics is a soft science and some of the statistics are subjective and thus questionable. A lot of Soviet statistics is very soft indeed since it is damn difficult to price what they made correctly. A lot of it was just crap. Capitalist countries aren't immune to this. A...
  3. Would America have been better off trying to stop Communism in Laos and Cambodia rather than South Vietnam?

    'Cuz it's one, two, three, what're we fightin' for? Don't ask me what, why or when. Next stop is Phnom Penh!

    Threadmarks: Setraland: The Hreinings, Sigvat the Red

    Sigvat the Red (1082-1089) Sigvat, third Hreining King of Setraland, had a hard childhood. Separated from his mother at the age of two and placed under the care of his aunt, Grelod Hard-Hearted, the young Sigvat was "raised" by the talented schemer. Many of his early childhood experiences...
  7. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    There could have been great choices made for Soviet agriculture post-WW2. Nobody who had those ideas would have made it into the halls of power. The best you could get were well-intentioned idiots like Kruschev.
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    It seams that the chance of building a themepark in scottland are high. Who will build it. I feel the best bets builders are Six Kings , and gulf Turner, Gulf and Western andthe virign gorup ( They have no themepark experince otll but they bought the wiabli group in the oringal...
  9. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    The US has a vested interest in a Liberal victory; the key to a surviving Max (long-term) is to delay US action against him. A more intensive commitment to the South will help, because it will keep US political and military capital away from Mexico. That's not enough though- you also need the...
  10. Would an independent Confederacy have a national sales tax as its main source of revenue instead of an income tax?

    The Confederate Constitution is actually much easier to amend than the US Constitution though as the Confederate Constitution only requires 2/3 of the states to approve an amendment (unlike the US Constitution which requires 2/3 approval of both houses of Congress and then 3/4 of the states to...

    The Mare Nostrum doctrine: an alternate Italian Empire

    Well, it's very possible that his government will be very archaic (as the his brother's government). Therefore, it is probable that Spain will have political instability and a stronger liberal revolution. By the way: 1- How the Carlists won? (I don't care if you don't know). 2- Why his...

    Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    Those are good points, but I disagree, by the 7th century Christianity, Judaism, and indigenous Arabian paganism(s) were all competing and well-entrenched faiths in Arabia and they did not disappear with the coming of Muhammad or the Muslim Conquests. Arab Christians participated in the...
  15. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Largely not. The large-scale consensus, Soviet industrial output, GDP, GDP-per-head, and GNP had returned to pre-war levels by 1948. Soviet agriculture production had returned to pre-war levels by the early-50s. And the last economic damage, in the service sector, had been repaired by 1955. Of...

    English Canada/French Carolina: A Timeline

    I've thought of some sort of Greco-Ottoman war being a possibility (or more accurately, a war between the Ottomans and all of their revanchist neighbors), so that might be in the books. As for a continent-wide European war, I think a war in Europe in the Mid-Late 20th Century (60s-80s) would be...

    Possible Alternate Jet engine pre-WWII

    I'm aware of buzzbomb engines :) , and I've had ideas on that before, I'm really asking is this rocket/ramjet hybrid possible or has it been thought of and disproved before? As I understand it all the ramjet needs is supersonic flow inside the engine, during constriction and ignition. Thus...
  19. AHC: Make Charles VII Rescue Joan of Arc, Instead Of Letting Her Be Burned By The English.

    Except I’ve read a lot on both Charles & Joan & nobody has ever mentioned these rescue expeditions. That’s why I’m hoping for some suggestions as for ways to jolt Charles into action, as he didn’t seem to do(or event want to do)a blasted thing IOTL.
  20. WI: Larry Weiss offers "Rhinestone Cowboy" to Johnny Cash?

    Cash was a guy whose persona was very closely linked to his music, eg. "Hurt" played off his image as someone who had struggled with drug addiction. But I don't know if people would really buy the idea of The Man In Black as a guy who wears shiny suits while performing in a tacky commercial...
