Map Conditions: The US, by 2020 in this timeline, must have a population of at least 660 million. The US must have a similar GDP per capita and standard of living. The US cannot control more than its OTL borders, plus Canada, northern Mexico, and the Caribbean. This world's history has to be...

WW1 still happens somewhat similar to OTL, but without diving too much into details, Austria-Hungary remains completely intact following the war. Based on hindsight and on pre-war trends, how could the demographics of Austria-Hungary look like by the early 21th century? How big could the...

With a POD of 1400, your challenge is to create a scenario in which the British retain control of North America (which in this challenge, may grow no larger than OTL US, Canada, more of northern Mexico, and the Caribbean) and have it reach a population of at least 500 million people by 2019...

Using any change of events you like get the population of the Russian Pacific Coast City, Vladivostok over 1,000,000 people. The last survey showed it was at about 605,000 people. These changes can be in the Tsarist Era, The Soviet Era, or more recently in the Post-Soviet era. They can be...

Exactly as the title says. Would a German victory in WW1 (let's say between 1916 and 1919) have any effect on the population dynamics of Paris and Berlin? Would Berlin be a bigger city than Paris by the modern day (IOTL, the greater Paris area's population outnumbers greater Berlin's by a margin...

Hi, just a simple thought which has been bugging me lately. In any hypothetical scenario of Napoleon dominating Germany, Italy and Spain which is what he wanted to accomplish. What happens to the German, Italian and Spanish populations? I only ask because the French aimed to incorporate and...

France historically was the strongest country in Europe largely due to its demographic strength. Over the 19th century however this advantage evaporated. Between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War France's population grew only by a third. Germany's population in contrast...

Let's just assume that after the ARW the North and the Deep South split, with the latter becoming either independent or remaining under British control. Assume that history develops in a way that makes US expansion past the pictured borders infeasible. What is the highest population this US can...

Can this be achieved? If this is possible, then how would a US with such a larger population be different from ours? How economically dominant would it be?

As a rule, China must end up controlling all of the territories which are Han-majority today. I would prefer if this was accomplished through early demographic transition, though I am open to all scenarios.

I am trying to figure out how to make the Balkans and Anatolia have the same population growth as France and HRE until industrial age since there seems to be stagnation in demography in those regions. I apologize if my estimates are wrong. Please correct me. Around 100-200 AD, Anatolia...

The Point of Divergence ... In the early years of the 20th Century, scientific advancements were made in the discovery of antibiotics. Several drugs were developed to help curb the spread of germs, bacteria and diseases. One of the most prominent examples would be penicillin. As a result...

the current western United States is geographically dominated the Central Valley, one of the most fertile valleys in the world. OTL it comprises 160,000 sqkm and dominates the state of California. For reference here is a picture of the Central Valley compared to the Japanese Home Islands: With...

So, what could Russia's population be in a timeline where the World Wars either don't happen, don't involve Russia, or are short affairs that have little if any impact on populations?

With the presented borders below, theoretically how big population could the area of Kingdom of Hungary support in the Middle Ages? What are the biggest possible numbers? Thank you in advance for your answers!

As we all know, Germany had a quite "unfortunate" 20th century. I, as a demographics fanate, was interested in how Germany's population would be different without both world wars and the heavy emigration that occured. I decided to post the results here. I will explain how I calculated beneath...

With a POD after it's date of settlement (1788), what's the largest possible population for Australia? Bonus points if you can get it significantly increase it without annexation of other territories (New Guinea, New Zealand, etc). More bonus points if you don't drastically change OTL.

How can you achieve the highest world population possible with a POD in 0 AD or later? (to prevent messing around with the agricultural revolution). What would the effects of a higher world population be, and would humans face serious problems with overpopulation?

In a timeline where Germany united under Prussian leadership 1848, assuming its monarch takes the initiative, into a federal state similar to Wilhelmine Germany with its OTL borders + the Germanic areas of the AH empire, and barring any major demographic catastrophes or disruptions, what is...

Assume that the USA took Canada in 1866 without a fight. How populous would Canada be? Would it be more populous from more immigrants coming to the USA, less populous from people who did go to Canada choosing instead to go to the warmer, more fertile parts of the USA, or about the same??
