  1. 2nd Chrononauts thread

    Is this a fresh start, or do you want to pull in events from Chrononauts: the AH.com version? Do you want to set bookends for the earliest year and latest year allowed?

  2. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    Was this how it worked when the militia existed OTL?

  3. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    GeneralHayroth, what can you tell us about the cultures in these two posts? Do all officers have red stripes on their pants? Am I right in understanding that the navy is part of the army in this? I think the wing badges look really cool. It's hard to spot at a glance what someone's rank is...

  4. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    Here are my proposed army and navy ranks for the Danubian Federation in the late 1940s. Historical Austro-Hungarian ranks in German are in parentheses. I also have footnotes! I'm pretty interested in this project, and I think I'll also make ranks for the Air Force and the Hungarian Military...

  5. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    Okay, I'm working on rank names in Esperanto. I don't think I'll make insignia. Can anyone help me with a couple questions about how the army was structured when my only source is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Army#Ranks_and_rank_insignia_of_the_Austro-Hungarian_Army? Is...

  6. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    It looks like the different languages of the Austro-Hungarian Empire have irreconcilable rank naming traditions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Army). This looks fun. Are you imagining something where they pick Esperanto names based solely on the dominant Austrian faction, or one...

  7. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    I don't know anything about this, but I'd like to start discussion. A starting point could be the 1st Madras Pioneers. How much variation was there in British Indian Army uniforms between regiments? And does "pioneer" mean "engineer" in this context? I'm not willing to commit to this yet, but...

  8. How long would Slavery Last in a Victorious Confederacy?

    I think that there will be an increase in abolitionist sentiment, due to international contact and economic changes. Some of them might push for a replacement to the constitution because constitutions don't usually last very long. There will also be people who would refuse to give up slavery...

  9. Rank Insignia and Uniforms Thread

    I haven't had much time to look at this yet but I'm glad someone's contributing here. I found your conworld website: http://conworld.wikia.com/wiki/Vseslavija. So this is a Pan-Slavic country. How did the countries unite? Vseslavija has its own language. Is the language mostly based on...

  10. Chrononauts - The Flip Side

    I made a more careful look at the dates we've actually established. If a date was only mentioned in the summary post, I changed the summary post to be vaguer. I also went back to the post where I mentioned David Crockett's (re)election, and removed the date from it. I added in the presidents...

  11. Chrononauts - The Flip Side

    That's true. I'll happily retcon any election dates that only came up in my summary post, and I'll edit that post for that. I think that if a date was stated definitively in another post in this thread, I don't want to go back and change it. Then I'll post what the firmly established election...

  12. Chrononauts - The Flip Side

    What kind of government would have presidential terms of variable lengths, but fit the fact that all the presidential elections we've mentioned so far are in November of years that are multiples of 4? Maybe the law says you can't go more than four years without an election (maybe resetting the...

  13. Chrononauts - The Flip Side

    Andy Looney was born in 1963. According to the OTL constitution, Looney was too young to be president until 1998. We don't have a defined age laws in this timeline, but it would be reasonable to postpone his presidency until later.

  14. Chrononauts - The Flip Side

    Do you mean you would like these to be the two biggest contemporary political parties? I suppose we should figure out in broad strokes what the political parties were over time. A Union party could easily be founded around the time of either of the Wars between the States. Did the Republican...

  15. Correct Map of North America)))

    If this is a violation of thread rules, I would request that it be clearly communicated in a sticky on the forum. I knew it was a convention here, but don't know if it's a rule. I refuse to believe that using an unpopular smiley convention is against the rules. I definitely get annoyed about...

  16. Chrononauts - The Flip Side

    I forgot to comment on this one earlier. Yes, let's make the US government as parliamentary as we can, without contradicting anything we've already written. I regret making the government look this much like OTL, although some of it was required. I just reread the post I wrote about the...

  17. Chrononauts - The Flip Side

    Both of those guys can be president. I was trying to think of people who are in line with the pro-wacky-tobacky slant of this timeline. Chuck Norris is not that sort, but I suspect he can persuade the American people to vote for him somehow, ;). Andy Looney is definitely not an OTL Republican...

  18. Chrononauts - The Flip Side

    Happy Reunification Day, everyone! I wonder if it's as popular holiday in the South as it is in the North. I'm thinking a bit about holidays in this timeline. There are stronger ties between Americans and the Dutch, so I think Americans celebrate Sinterklaas Day as their big Christian...

  19. Modern Confederacy

    The Conferederate Constitution doesn't call for a weaker federal government with more state autonomy. See the analysis at www.jjmccullough.com/CSA.htm. The preamble is a little bit more in favor of state rights, and states do get a slightly different set of rights under that constitution...

  20. A Map Shitpost Thread

    Yes they do! Wikipedia says 76 countries drive on the left, and 163 on the right. This world standards website lists 91 on the left and 175 on the right.
