    Oooh now that could be fascinating, this would be in the form of the Marquis of Extended Grace one imagines?
  2. The New Kratocracy: A Boulanger Coup TL

    hope very much that this story will resume so in the meantime here are some ideas For the outbreak of the Great War I imagine for example Belgium with France claiming Wallonia and Germany wanting Belgium as a protectorate or a colonial dispute between France and England (ex Egypt) I also...
  3. AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    The 'Union' offer was a way of keeping France in the War - retire to North Africa etc., at that point the war on the mainland was as good as over. The idea of the RAF (how do you define 'entire') is totally ASB - Churchill had already by this time been advised not to send anymore squadrons over...
  4. How to ensure China remains imperial

  9. If Rome got rid of slavery would it have advanced more?

    ...toys long after even the Eastern Roman Empire stopped being a thing, never mind the Western half. Medieval and Early Modern Europe were hardly slave-societies. Steam engines remained toys even after serfdom was largely* abolished in western Europe. *Or entirely in the case of e.g. England.

    Publius Crassus (son of the triumvir) Doesn't Die at Carrhae-Who does Pompey Marry?

    Lucullus’ widow, Servilia, could be an interesting choice. Hortensia too, if Caepio, Brutus’ adopted father and likely her husband, is not still alive.
