    Oldest leader your country could have.

    The timeframe is 1900-2010. Ok, I'm from Brazil and the oldest president we had in this timeframe is Getúlio Vargas who was 68 when elected in 1950. The oldest I think we can get is Ulysses Guimarães who was 71 when he run in 1989. What about your countries?

    Minor WI: Bormann in Nuremberg

    Otl Bormann died as his breakout attempt was intercepted in Berlin. Let's say that he made his way into the North, joined Flensburg and got arrested. How would his performance in Nuremberg go, and would he get the gallows or be freed after 20 years?

    Could Brazil be an American war ally?

    So, if you are an American with some knowledge on Brazil you surely know the stereotype of Brazil being "Americas little cousin" or stuff like that. Still, Brazil has been critically away from the USA since the cold war and the last war we fought together is WWII. Basically this isn't due a...

    Question: How much could the russian empire wank the Cyrillic script?

    The russian empire is an brutal ethno nationalist state and it's final objective culturally was to guarantee that everything under its control from Poland to Vladivostok and from Kola to Astana to eventually turn Russian culturally and ethnically. In a scenario that the empire survives up until...

    Wi: Coffee targeted as a drug.

    Hello guys, so, I'm from Brazil, and one thing we really like is coffee, in fact Brazil alone has 67% of the coffee production in the world, and it is used for drinks, cake, biscuits and even bread. Something that has a similar hold to a nation culture is coca leafs in Bolivia, and in Bolivia's...

    Most Anglophile US possible.

    If you ask a Brazilian how we see Portugal, a common response is that Brazil is the son of Portugal ; if you ask an American about their vision of the USA it usually results in that old saying "they are our cousins". I was wondering how close can we get the USA to the United kingdom with a...

    How would a Germanophile USA look today?

    I gonna make a simple timeline just to give us a base to work with Basically Germany wins the great war without US interference, there is no black tom explosion. The UK and France go far right in the aftermath and get anti american in the process, but we don't need to have a WWII here. None of...

    Wi: Emílio Médici as Premier of Italy.

    Emílio Garrastazu Médici was the Brazilian dictator from 1969 until 1974, being a member of the house of Medici of Tuscany that had emigrated to Brazil during colonization. His government was marked by a satanic overspending, rampant corruption and one of the sturdiest highways to hell built on...

    Joseph Stillwell secretly murders Chiang Kai Check in 1944.

    OTL Kai Check was fighting so badly against Japan that the US attachè to China, Joseph Stillwell, suggested murdering him in hopes for a more competent leader to take over, but US authorities denied. Let's say that instead of him giving any indication that murdering him is a good idea, he...

    Status of Nazis and axis war criminals in a Kuomintang led china.

    Assuming the Kuomintang wins the Chinese civil war by 1947, and then proceed to cement it's rule, how would China deal with the naI rat lines and the members of the axis puppet states fleeing around the world? Could the memories of the german-chinese cooperation in the early 1930s trigger them...

    "Logical conclusion" to Spanish rule in Cuba.

    Assuming the US decides to not take Cuba from Spain, so Spain in theory can keep repressing Cuba for an unlimited time, what would that lead to? Would get to a point that the war exhaustion in Spain would be so bad that they would create an Spanish version of the British Dominion system, or they...

    Lionization of WWI in a world without WWII.

    I gonna tag @CalBear since he knows a lot about that. When the last WWII veterans died in the early 2010s we did see some shock and some tributes being done by governments around the world, my country Brazil being one as our last WWI veteran Waldemar Levy Cardoso passed away in 2009. That being...

    Propensity of "third world populism" in the CSA.

    So, Otl the US south had many figures that were populists, like E. H. Crump, Huey Long, Big Jim Folsom, among many others. The CSA itself was pretty close to Brazil in its social structure as it was a country built with its major objective being to protect a slaveholding elite, while its social...

    Wank norway.

    I have been wondering how much can we wank norway without turning into something else, as in, making it cease to be norway and turn into some form of "Empire of Scandinavia". For now I have been thinking that the best case scenario would be modern norway borders plus scotland, Shetland...

    Is there one way to restore some powers to the Japanese monarchy in the 20th century?

    Attention, since Hirohito doesn't want any power at all, feel free to do as many regicide as it is possible, oh fellow friends. Ok, so, the Japanese monarchy has lost its power after the Heian period, and even during it it still wasn't strong as a western monarchy usually was. The last good...

    How would a Francoist Coronation be like?

    So, there is a very famous brazilian cartoon from the spanish civil war made in 1939, this one: At that time it was expected by some that as soon the war ended Franco would restore the monarchy, but that didn't happen and Spain only became a monarchy again in 1968. So, let's assume that Franco...

    Technocracy Inc remains, as a think tank.

    So, my friend @Sherman Van Buren sent me a source from a book about how Huey Ling got in contact with technocracy Inc. and asked for technicians who got employed and he used to better administrate Louisiana. This thing brought me to mind an idea. What if instead of phasing out, the Technocracy...

    How would China-Japan relations develop without the warlords with a 1926 PoD?

    This part is very important: china is unified after the northern march. This happens by having Kai Chek to be murdered in some way and this leads the KMT to remain left wing and so the communists don't split. There is no Wuhan-Nanjing split nor long march, the communists are present in the...

    Asianophile Russia.

    This is quite a difficult thing to pull off since the closest we can realistically have to an asianophile Russia is Eurasianism from Lev Gumiliyov and the guy hated "degeneracy", but maybe someone can have better ideas for this scenario. So, basically one of Russia most important debates in its...

    The evolution of the Russian empire.

    So, I was wondering about how the Russian empire would evolve assuming it had survived. Here some things I can bring to the table. So, basically by 1914 in theory is a constitutional monarchy with an active monarch like the German empire, but due the 1907 Duma coup it is in fact a royal...
