  1. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Fantastic update. I know all will be revealed in good time, but I can't help but wonder what Iskander's plans are. He obviously doesn't have enough troops to vie for the throne just yet and striking east on his own to try to gather more support seems like a great way to get killed quickly. I...
  2. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    Whatever the danger — whether earthquake, hurricane, or tornado — what if we have the rough and ready standard, the worse 20 or 25% of sites we’re just going to take off the table? PS I think your quote is from the mid-90s movie Twister, which I wish had lived up to its preview.
  3. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Not too much regret by the average person otherwise it would have been changed. We are talking a half century or so to fix it if a significant number of people cared enough. Part of the problem is that a lot of the elites pushing for it are massively hypocritical. The most obvious one IMO is Al...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Maybe Fantasyland since the film does involve fantastical monsters and a bit of magic involved. I would prefer if Disney did a Kimba film adaptation over doing the Lion King or a direct Kimba dub, albeit with some changes to incorporate the Lion King script (and to remove a lot of the more...
  5. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    the part where Feathers and Blood: The Myth of Colonel Sanders, is made, it was first mentioned many chapters ago
  6. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    The original idea for a sequel that Sylvester Stallone and John Alvidson had for Rocky II was that after his fight with Apollo Creed Rocky is elected the Mayor of Philadelphia and he is taken advantage by the corrupt politicians around him and then he is thrown out of office. Rocky then has to...
  7. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918

    Great opening details! I also really like the format here. Keep it up!
  8. In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    It was far too late for that, the British wouldn't have accepted it. They were determined to crush the Colonists by force. Only abject surrender was acceptable. The British refused to recognize the legitimate authority of the Continental Congress, or any Colonial Assemble, only the authority of...
  9. WI a canal was built from Thessaloniki to Belgrade?

    Agreed but there is no point making it deeper than the Danube itself and what ships are we talking about ocean going ships or just much smaller coastal stuff that can load from larger ships in the Aegean and then tranship through to the edges of the Black Sea and up its rivers?

    Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    Reminds me of something I once wrote for another thread
  11. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Well for that I would say get the advice of any Polish members on the board who would have better access to resoures about the political environment at the time, but I would strongly suspect that any Polish government allowing any German military unit to partake in exercises in Poland will be in...
  12. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    Because the Feds let Nevada push it around. Yucca Mountain is US government property , Nevada doesn't really have much of a say unless the Feds let them.
  13. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    You can probably get away with a couple of surplus Escort Carriers going to South America, Turkey MIGHT be able to support one as well and Japan could justify a light carrier if the politics can be sorted out.
  14. In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    No I don't think it was inevitable. The British managed to turn a very pro Crown group of Colonies into rebellious States in 10 years, which wasn't easy. It took policies designed to squeeze all the specie out of colonies, and reduce them all to barter economies. They closed off the lands west...
  15. Vanguards in the Islands of Liberty and Paradise - The Republic of Escadia

    Oranjevlaggen is a grassroot organization which concerned about the population of Dutch-speakers in America as well as cultural identity, calls for preservation of their culture and also represents the interests of Dutch-American community which is the majority in the national scale but a...

    WI a canal was built from Thessaloniki to Belgrade?

    If the OP wants the canal to allow ships to bypass the Bosporus then the canal needs to be deep enough for those ships to pass through.
