    Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    This would be a perfect opportunity for Vietnam to step in and firmly put Cambodia into its sphere; Vietnam has long regarded Cambodia as part of its 'natural' sphere of influence, and the Khmer Rouge essentially shooting themselves in the head is a perfect way for Vietnam to step in, organize a...

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    I may also have some ideas for certain musicians in the 2000s, but I think I'll wait until the music section stuff comes up.

  5. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Here's another thought - would Old Glory work as well if the stripes were in the canton and the stars were in the field?
  6. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    On a tangentially-related note, I've also become very fond of 'doodling' in the setting of Mr Harry Turtledove's ATLANTIS novels, and one of the elements in that setting is a body of water called the Hesperean Gulf (which sits between the Island Continent of Atlantis and what we would call North...
  7. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    One day I'm going to have to put up a TL where the Kingdom survives and Hawaii is British to this day. I could go down the old Ala Moana Road and have a pint at the "Dog and Tiki".

    America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Spartan was out of the atmosphere, far beyond where it could effect the MSR. This was tested with the Pacific testing for Nike Zeus. Sprint, and its1 kt neutron warhead, was for the short range intercepts. But everything was shock mounted and protected, like Cheyenne Mountain. Every Warheads...
  9. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    To be fair, there's also the Decisive Darkness style end of "Japanese representatives" no longer being a coherent concept.
  10. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Constantinople has such enormous symbolic significance as the City of the World's Desire, God's City, New Rome, etc., that it is inconceivable that it would be not be made the capital of any premodern state that possessed it even without its enormous strategic and economic significance based on...
  11. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    Can't think it would be worth the trouble. They probably just try to integrate the Warlords into a new state and fight off the rest.

    Margareta domina II: A Margaret of Austria Re-do

    Well it depends, a royal princess is likely to be jean's half-niece so if the pope isn't amenable...otherwise we're looking at a proxy match. Thank you!
  13. Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    For one option: in the absence of the Roman state, its monetary economy, tax system, trade networks and state-funded road networks, it's quite possible that the rural elite cease to be elite when they run out of money to maintain the large villa estates. There's OTL archaeological evidence that...
  14. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    You can't there would be no government. And I cannot see the international community just literally avoid this land. probably going to become a cesspool of illegal loggers and drug cartels.
  15. Margareta domina II: A Margaret of Austria Re-do

    Oh yay, it seems that Brittany will be independent for a while longer at least... I wonder who young Jean will marry? A French Princess may be forced upon him if he wants to keep his duchy's independence... Excellent update!
  16. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Well, I have a weak spot for the TLs that avoid the "France and Prussia are always ennemies" trope and instead give us some early deutsch-französich alliance. But of course, that requires manœuvering through diplomatic logics, which can be a bit tricky & often sound arbitrary.
  17. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    Well, I assume international law would still recognize Cambodia itself as an independent country, regardless of how unorthodox their relationship to the land is. But yeah, how do you have a government or a capital city in a place where everyone is just roaming around scrounging for rodents and...
  18. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    I mean most likely there would not be enough people to establish a working state. Would the Vietnamese just be able to annex it?
  19. Explain the AH Quote

    A paraphrased exchange between the self-proclaimed Sultan of Socalism Aziz against an Imam (one noted who interacted with several pretenders to succeeding the Ottoman Empire) regarding over Aziz's attempt at combining Islam with socialist ideals, as detailed in a guidebook for young adults...

    OTL the stuff is considered obsolete. That said the stuff is still sometimes used, Venezuela still uses it, because it can penetrate improvised protective gear much better than tear gas OTL is kinder and gentler world than TTL
