    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    He's still in the party, floating around the Moscow Central Committee trying to keep a low profile, for his former associations with Gorbachev. His KGB file would say that he is a possible reformer and possibly consults with known reformers; but they have haven't done anything to break the law...

    Alternate Electoral Maps III

    Probably not. It looks like the Deep South states (South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana) succeeded from the Union earlier than in real life. The gray counties of Western Texas are those that I presume haven't been settled enough yet. All I know is that on the map, the...

    A French New Zealand

    One point that's worth considering here will be the effects of blackbirding on the indigenous population - e.g. the propensity of colonial powers to kidnap indigenous Pacific Islanders and ship them off to be worked as slaves somewhere else. Any Maori polity in the present day is not going to be...

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Personally, I have nothing against HSR, and even wish my area had one. I've just been pointing out how the feds usually decide on what to fund, aka the Representatives and Senators deciding if it's in the interest of their constituents. There's more Representatives and Senators outside the area...
  5. AHC: Cold War between Religious Communism and Atheist Capitalism

    I think an atheist japan would work if they get rid of the emperor and are instead controlled by the military. They seem to not care that much about religion. China could also be a candidate if they don't go Communist.

  7. A French New Zealand

    The British would never allow it. Case closed.
  8. AHC: Make some or all of these countries as Muslim as their inhabitants think

    This may be cheating, but if the entirety of the Straits Settlements gained independence as one country, that might get pretty close, no?

    What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    The problem for the Cortez is that he now has to hold down his territory with no help from outside and, if he's actually like Cortez and the natives don't yet have cavalry, he's going to have problems keeping himself at a technological level with the motherland. Remember, this Cortez is going to...

    Nooooo. It's a super fast bomb waiting to go off. Given what happened to Hood, I suspect the USN is very very happy they never finished them as originally designed.

    WI/PC: A Christian Japan

    I’ve said this a lot in previous threads, because I believe one of the many PODs that Christianity dominates half of Japan. There is one particular person I read and admire from Japanese history, who 1) was open to Westerners and actually was fascinated by them, 2) Sponsored the the first...

    Small Steps, Giant Leaps: How (Almost) Every Apollo Astronaut Made it to the Moon

    A new interlude should be coming up soon, where we'll take a deep dive into the development of America's first space station, Skylab!
  13. AHC: Cold War between Religious Communism and Atheist Capitalism

    So would this most likely be a cold war between s Tolstoyan Russia and a technocratic Britain or are there more likely candidates?
  14. WI: Oda Nobunaga doesn’t get betrayed

    I think it was certainly on it’s way to becoming the administrative center. Not sure it’s built to be a commercial hub to the same degree, as it’s not on the sea and not in the Kanto. I think, rather, ~ Osaka would have remained the commercial hub and Omi the political/military capital.

    Age of the Dinosaurs (2012) POD: Discovery doesn't pick up Ricardo Delgado and David Krentz's Reign of the Dinosaurs concept. They wait some time, and successfully pitch it at National Geographic, and is much more closer to their original vision. Episodes and Focus species Dinos Rising-...

    Alternate warships of nations

    Maybe, that will show the 1890's progress that was suggested by @Gokbay. Good for you on that suggestion. It was what I had in mind.
  17. A French New Zealand

    "Having French NZ setting off the coast of Australia filled with “bloodthirsty savages” the French haven’t put down (ugh, but those are the times) drastically changes Australia. They can’t leave it as a penal colony, they need to build it up ASAP to stop the French." New Zealand is something...

    ...press was mass production, and reformists willing to utilize it were able to simply swamp traditional critics relying on the old methods. * Change was not only afoot in the immediate Asmarid world and among the Nasrids and Sofalas. The key military conflicts early in Abd ar-Rahim's reign...

    1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    With fighters, don't they need to accept that speed has superseded maneuverability as a performance requirement? The day of the biplane has passed by the mid-'30s, even if there are still a few in service. That development gets back to the higher performance engine issue. If Italy is going to...
