    AHC: Social Democratic USA

    I think you’ll need a PoD going all the way back to Reconstruction. If you can somehow find a way to keep the North stay willing to enforce Black suffrage in the South and the Democratic Party goes the way of the Whigs there could be an opening for a kind of Social Democratic Party emerging as...

    The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    I somehow managed to win as McCain/Pawlenty in 2008. Lost the popular vote by 2% though.

    Wallace 1972 is quite fun. I think Jackson seems to be the best Veep for him here.

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Another note on European politics. There won't be a "Black Wednesday" in the UK since German interest rates won't be raised due to the costs of reunification. Britain may very well stay in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and maybe even adopt the Euro later on. On the other hand, as Marco...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Agreed. The only thing I would suggest changing would be the election of Ross Perot. Depending on how the 1992 Democratic primary goes (without the Gulf War a lot more Democrats would have entered the field) its entirely possible Perot would not even run. If an anti-NAFTA candidate like Gephardt...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I'm guessing Detente would mostly entail strategic and conventional arms reduction. Maybe some cooperation on dealing with Iraq as well as some joint space ventures like having the Buran visit Station Freedom and having the shuttle visit Mir. Perot would want to reduce military spending...

    Broad Consequences of a Napoleonic World

    Giving up on the continental system would be the best PoD. Napoleon avoids getting bogged down in Iberia and doesn't invade Russia as a result. He'd still have to worry about Prussian or Austrian revanchism but I think they can be handled and perhaps turned against each other (give Silesia to...

    Frances cedes Corsica in 1815?

    The allies won’t give him a choice. They gave him the title Emperor of Elba anyway historically.

    Frances cedes Corsica in 1815?

    Perhaps they create an independent Corsica? Channel the Napoleonic family ambition in the direction of taking power in Corsica rather than France.

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    In terms of space I could definitely see the Soviets adapting the Energia to build space stations. Assuming the Americans don't cancel Space Station Freedom, the Energia could build the Soviet counterpart to that. With the success of Energia and the continuation of the space race, the US would...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Great update. Just a minor correction though - the US and Canada already had a FTA since 1988. NAFTA took the existing agreement and added Mexico into the agreement. Also I think Perot might look into working with the leader of the House of Representatives Democrats, Dick Gephardt, on trade...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I don't think that will be necessary with the automation stuff working out. In any case Deng's reforms to develop the 'productive forces' would not really work out in the USSR where you already have a well developed industry. I think it would be more useful for the Soviets to redirect resources...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    It's worth noting that Perot wasn't opposed to the idea of a renegotiated NAFTA as his 1993 debate with Al Gore showed. He could find a useful partner in Canada in Jean Chretien. Chretien ran a populist campaign in 1993 against NAFTA and pledged to renegotiate it, but he was unable to convince...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I still think Cyberpunk would remain influential. A lot of the tropes we associate with it originated in Japan and spread out due to the growing influence of Japanese pop culture during the 80s and 90s. There were also films like Blade Runner which were made well before the Cold War ended. Also...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I think Krenz is the more realistic option but a woman in charge of East Germany would be interesting too. Also what's going on in Somalia at this point. Has Barre's government collapsed or is the US still propping him up?

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Cuba and North Korea will certainly be doing better in the 90s. I don't think North Korea will be trying to develop a nuclear bomb and this could maybe allow some kind of detente with the south and work with them on their Sunshine Policy. On the other hand, I think Saddam's Iraq would not be...
