    Terres Australes | Alternative World Thread by Substantial_Habit

    Great TL so far! Sad not to see any ratites but I guess they can't be everywhere. Seems likely that any large flightless bird would be hunted to extinction by the first Europeans though so maybe to be expected.

    DBWI: What if the Balkans stayed Christian?

    The writing system of the entirety of the Balkans and Anatolia could be different. Without the Arabic script moving into the Balkans and displacing older systems, the Balkans could be writing in the Cyrillic, Latin, or the extinct Hellene alphabets like they used to. With influences from Al-Rum...

    Who was the first person to walk on the moon and on Mars? Sorry if I missed it in the above section but I didn't see it written anywhere.

    British Norway?

    I think a lot of these arguments could be made about Scotland and Ireland pre Act of Union. They were all independent nations with their own histories, political systems, and languages before hand, but after became unified under the same government and the language diffused outwards. I don't...

    Outside of the communist group, if there a push for renaming the country to something less representative of the colonialist and oppressive past?

    Impact of a stillborn Ottoman Empire

    It really depends on whether another Turkish group from Anatolia take the dominant role in the region or if they remain separated (or largely so). If another group or one of Osman's relatives take over, than the impact is probably largely the same, if not exactly. The Byzantines are probably...

    AHC: KKK-controlled America

    Being racist =/ supporting the Klan and especially a Klan-backed coup. For the most part its not needed since the US government has historically pretty much backed their interests anyway. Even at its height, most normal people don't support the Klan though, so getting the support they would need...

    AHC: Have Norman Sicilly convert to Islam

    Instead of having the ruling powers independently converting to Islam, would it be possible for there to me more local assimilation into Norman culture followed by conquest by the Ottomans or a similar power and then conversion to Islam a la the Albanians? Its not exactly what the prompt asks...

    Indo european group migrates to Australia and Indonesia

    If they could reach parts of Australia they could possibly do well, if they bring their knowledge of farming and horseback riding (alongside the required domesticates). Eastern Australia seems like a reach, but possibly reaching the areas around Perth could do well for them. Its relatively...

    Vermont Rejoins the British Empire

    But per the Treaty of Paris after the Revolutionary War, the Americans legally controlled the Northwest, if they didn't in practice. The results of 1812 was more an enforcement of the prior treaty to avoid another war and so Britain could focus on Europe, not the US taking the land, even if the...

    Wow that's a lot of Catholics in a row. Since 1940 there have been 18 PMs, and 11 of those have been Catholics. 5 of those 11 have been since 2001.

    Our Fair Country: The Commonwealth of New England

    I think overall people need to stop saying that one timeline is "better" than another. In either one potentially people are going to be worse off, and things that one person thinks makes the world better someone else would think the opposite.

    The Amalingian Empire: The Story of the Gothic-Roman Empire

    I read the other day that Bronn from ASOIF started as a background character and only wasn't killed off due to a flip of a coin between him and the other random guy introduced with him. Bronn was then given a cool line just because GRRM liked the sound of it, now hes a main character and a fan...
