    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    It's very interesting to hear more of China. Gao dynasty modernizing China makes it sound like we might have a Sinocentric modern world. Also a fun alt-Magellan. Experiencing many of the same difficulties as Magellan himself, although Maymun manages to survive his voyage.

    Marche Consulaire: A Napoleonic Timeline

    I like how both sides were incompetent. Classic New World armies.

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    That would be interesting. I was mainly picturing something like below, where the northern coast remains free in a sense, but definitely cowed, having lost most of their productive plains lands. Green is the current border as I approximate it, Red would be the border after capturing Leon and...

    Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

    I'm honestly very surprised by the Mughal Californian colony. But it makes sense. I'm pretty sure India is closer to California by sea than Europe. At least until the Panama Canal is finished. I'm also surprised by the conversion of so many to Buddhism, but pleased. I think the egalitarian and...

    Map Thread XVIII

    I mean that's what I don't get. They referenced TL-15 after a centrist/conservative TL was posted that had lot about how countries are actually run and material conditions like the recession not happening. Sure there was some pop culture stuff and was clearly biased, but at least it was thinking...

    Map Thread XVIII

    Tbh this is kind of sad. Serious "pop culture as personal identity" vibes coming off of this. Nothing about the material conditions of your part of the world or social class being improved. Nothing about war or peace or justice for those wronged. Just a kind of juvenile "I wish I was cool in...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    It'll be far easier to fight Santiago with all that fat dosh from all this new trade. Andalusia could one day just muster a big army in response to the next time Santiago annoys them enough. And if they take Leon and Burgo, then the whole Meseta Norte is Andalusian and most of the Christian...

    "Our Struggle": What If Hitler Had Been a Communist?

    An anti-socialist coalition could form with Wilhelm as Chancellor... That seems like a recipe for revolution.

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Ah fuck I totally remember that. Can't remember who it was though.

    The Great Crusade (Reds! Part 3)

    Japan probably won't have the demographic collapse it has had OTL. Guaranteed childcare and maternity/paternity leave can do a lot. Not to mention there won't be the atomization of life under late capitalism that keeps young people from finding partners.

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    It's not ASB. In fact, Xibei San Ma should honestly win any fight against Mongolia. I have a couple posts that go into depth on how the Ma win the civil war. And Mongolia is way OP in KR. In reality, Ningxia province by itself has twice the population as Mongolia and is far more urbanized.

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    My post-war KR headcanon. Citizen Valois and Comrade Mosley won in France and Britain, promising to safeguard the revolution at home in the face of imperialist pressure. The Christian Socialists win in Italy, because the Italian people are more interested in feeding their families and getting...

    The Sons of Inti Shall Not Perish

    WWI was fueled by Chilean and Indian nitrates. Haber-Bosch was first developed on an industrial level by Germany during WWI and didn't spread until the end of the war.

    Industrial Progress: A Story Of Venetian Suffrage (Haitus)

    Damn I knew Copt and Venetian rule would be rough, but a total collapse like that is probably the worst disaster Egypt has ever seen, worse even than the Bronze Age Collapse. It makes sense, but it's shocking. It seems like Egypt might end up the beating heart of the Venetian empire. Secure...

    Rosa's Reich - Red Germany

    I have a feeling the Leninists and Luxemburgists will end up not cooperating and the SFIO will collapse when Le Vieux Maréchal marches on Paris

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Just catching up after like a month. The mazkan system sounds a lot like the Portuguese factory system. Andalusia would be hard-pressed to do even Portuguese levels of colonial adventures in the Indian Ocean, as they don't have cannon-armed ships and musket-armed sailors. One of my pet AH...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Macaroni was a fairly common, if exotic dish in late 18th century-early 19th century America. It wasn’t an every day food but most people knew of noodles and had had them at some point. By 1860 I’m sure there were plenty of places to buy noodles in major cities. But yes, it wasn’t a staple of...

    Reds! Official Fanfiction Thread (Part Two)

    It's not that thinking it's peaches and roses, it's thinking that the Amish are small and isolated enough to avoid the war, which lasts less than a year with the vast majority of fighting elsewhere.

    Reds! Official Fanfiction Thread (Part Two)

    I've thought about the status of the Amish in the UASR, but it's going to be interesting how you get them to maintain their status. They'll have to basically have an explicit exception in the Pennsylvania Basic Law.
