  1. Map Thread V

    My first map made with Photoshop. It's pretty simple, really.

  2. A Flag Thread

    Because it's the coat of arms of Satan?

  3. Jesus, King of Israel

    Just a quick thought here. I was skimming through the New Testament, looking at the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke. Apparently, Jesus was a descendant of David, King of a united Israel, whose family ruled the south kingdom of Judah for 500 years. This means that if the House of David...

  4. Map Thread IV

    Just a quick question: I've seen that basemap in a thousand and one different styles, with a thousand and one different borders, but is there a single, definitive, original basemap from which all these other maps have been drawn?

  5. Map Thread IV

    Some POD in the 18th century causes the wankification of a united Italy and an independant Burgundy, at the expense of France, Russia, the Ottomans, and Austria-Hungary (now just Hungary). This is about 1950.

  6. Larger nations of South America

    The outright annexation of Paraguay by Argentina or Brazil following the War of the Triple Alliance is not too improbable. Brazilian troops occupied the nation for years afterwards, and Argentina intended to take a large portion of Paraguayan territory, but was stopped by the intervention of US...

  7. Minor alternate history!

    WI William Henry Harrison had red hair...

  8. DBWI: What's wrong with this map?

    Africa is a mess! Why so many space-filling nations? (Central African Republic? Western Sahara? WTF?). Not to mention TWO Congos and a Ghana that is too far south....

  9. The moscow Meteor

    With such a POD, just about any desired outcome could be attained. Especially when one considers quantum theory, which more or less allows anything imaginable to occur. I suppose, if we searched the multiverse long enough, we would eventually find a universe in which a comet struck Moscow on...

  10. The moscow Meteor

    Physics makes this scenario ASB, but I doubt the communists would come to power in the impact's aftermath. With its heart and vital organs ripped out, the Russian state would likely not survive, and we would see it fragment into breakaway countries, while remaining a general no-go-zone in the...

  11. The moscow Meteor

    But I might also add that, with the Earth orbiting the sun at about 100 000 km/h, 2 hours later would place the Earth 200 000 km from its intersection with the object, thus causing them to miss by a considerable distance. So really, there is no way that the Tunguska bolide could have impacted...

  12. The moscow Meteor

    We must remember that at the time, Saint Petersburg was the capital of Russia, not Moscow, so the symbolisc loss would be nowhere near as severe. But I think the decimation of 2000 sq. km of Russian homeland would, besides killing millions of people, plunge Russia into a social and economic...

  13. Roma Eterna

    So I just finished reading Roma Eterna, the novel by Robert Silverberg, and was wondering if any of you have comments about it. I enjoyed it, especially the sections describing the first circumnavigation of the world and the attempted conquest of the New World, but overall, the novel itself...

  14. The Presidency of Al Gore, 2001-2009

    I like the section where South Asia's governments manage to safely and calmly evacuate millions of people miles inland in just a few hours.

  15. Title for a World Chief Executive

    Grand Stadtholder...

  16. Zheng He and Chinese Colonialism

    So I suppose the scene in The Years of Rice and Salt that depicts the Chinese treasure ships trading along the African coast is a little unfounded?

  17. Zheng He and Chinese Colonialism

    Hello all, long-time lurker, first time poster. I've been reading a little about the voyages of Zheng He in the early 15th century and have been wondering: If political instability and Mongol incursions hadn't rocked China and cut funding for naval expeditions, do you believe China could...
