  1. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    I’m seeing a lot of claims, but nothing in the way of evidence. Most modern scholarship on the USSRs economy don’t use CIA estimates, but data from Soviet archives that was flat out unavailable prior to the fall of the USSR, so trying to critique them for using CIA data represents nothing less...
  2. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    Oh no, hopefully, Eleanor accepts the fact that she'll marry the man who jilted her... Excellent update!
  3. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So here's how it works. Rosemary Clooney was married to Jose Ferrer. Miguel Ferrer was their son. Nick Clooney is Rosemary Clooney's brother. George Clooney is Nick Clooney's son.
  4. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Cosgrove Hall and Aardman will still exist ITTL, but Scotland will most likely be home to satellite offices of the major American and Canadian studios. Right now, the Glasgow office of Grantray-Lawrence is working on Who Framed Roger Rabbit with Richard Williams. After that, their next project...
  5. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Estimates of Soviet GDP are "very fuzzy" almost by definition. With no real prices it is largely guesswork. The CIA used "cost estimates" for it , basically how much it would cost in the US to make. The problems was that GDP is not defined by costs but net benefits. The USSR made mostly garbage...

    Threadmarks: 1513 - A very nervous princess

    ”I am in big troubles and will never be out of it. For what reason I let myself to be dragged in that disaster?” thought Anne Boleyn, trying to prevent her giggles, while Archduchess Isabella and another couples of their companions were in full blown giggles in seeing the usually composed...
  7. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    Time for them to move on. Pray tell, what is contradictory in my opinions? That Soviets use their electronics for BVR as they are doing it anyway? Point of investment: replace the MiG-21s by thousands and fast.
  8. AHC: The world today looks like this 1962 prediction

    I wonder how they are breathing on these if then there is not some system which help people get fresh air.
  9. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    My brief look into British Army infiltration by Loyalist (or whatever they would be ITTL) terrorists and/or British Army collusion seems to point mainly at the Ulster Defence Regiment (duh) and have happened in the '80s. But I think a concern in this scenario, as worries by British Army planners...
  10. What if Robert Taft secured the republican nomination in 1948 and became president?

    If it had been MacArhtur, I think Ike would have run. I am less sure that Taft's nomination would be a sufficient inducement.
  11. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Can I get a link to the aforementioned discord? The link in Cosmic Ash's signature isn't working. Edit: I went back and had a look at the very first wikibox. What are the positions of the Republican, Socialist, Heritage, True Socialist-Marxist, and National Socialist parties? And wouldn't the...
  12. What if Robert Taft secured the republican nomination in 1948 and became president?

    ...(other than New York ) which Dewey did (I find that doubtful for MD, DE, CT, and MI, but let that pass). Let's say that in addition he carries *every* state Dewey lost by 5 points or less (which again I don't for a minute believe except *maybe* for Ohio). That gives him OH (25 votes), IL...
  13. Middle East without Christianity or Islam

    Probably ME would be quiet multireligion. There would be Zoroastrianism, Eastern mystery cults, Mihtraism, Greek Polytheism at least on coastal regions and Anatolia, notable Jewish communities in several cities and if you include Egypt you have too some form of Egyptian polytheism. And...
