  1. The Mirage of Democratic Socialism

    A guy called Kristian Neimietz has written an alternate history of a continued Socialist East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the scenario the anti-GDR socialists end up in charge and unification doesn't happen. As an employee of a right wing think tank he is fairly sceptical of...

  2. Earliest post Roman European secular bureaucracy.

    Post the Charlemagne and prior to the Reformation medieval bureaucracies aka chanceries tended to be staffed and dominated by clerics.

He was one of the leading figures of the Labour Party's hard left and in his later years became something of a national treasure, not least because of a series of extremely well written diaries. Since his death he's...

  8. British family on a European Throne

    With a PoD after Bosworth create a scenario while a family originating in Great Britain* winds up on a Continental European throne. Bonus points if it's a non-Royal family. *So yes to Tudors and Stuarts** no to Hanoverians. **I know they came from Normandy originally but they are British...

  9. Norse England

    Could the Norse/Vikings have done to the Anglo-Saxons what they did to the Brythonic peoples, i.e. without a total genetic replacement a lasting, near total cultural and religious transformation? So with a PoD after Lindisfarne as much of the Anglo-Saxon zone as possible becomes culturally...
