  12. Realistic Fictional Ideologies

    Is there a way to make fictional ideologies that aren’t rehashes of OTL, or ideologies without a material component (economic/practical reason to support it)?

  17. Natural Borders for Megastates

    Inspired by discussions about the borders of the megastates in 1984, which natural borders for megastates would be best? Obviously mountain ranges like the Himalayas and the Urals are going to be “natural borders” if only by the virtue of size. Posessing Island groups on the sealane is best...

  18. AH and Implicit Beliefs

    The plausibility of an AH in the eyes of a reader depends on both implicit beliefs- those unstated underlying beliefs of an author and of a reader.
