Chapter 1: Stubbornness “Nope, not happening in a million years and that's final!” That’s was all what George Graham, Secretary of the SFA, would say to anyone when questioned if Scotland were going to play in the World Cup in Brazil later that year. He then says other various excuses why they...

What if the Queen was assassinated? What if Marcus Sarjeant had not just intended to startle the Queen at trooping the colour on the 13th June 1981 however actually kill her and was successful in killing her? How would this change British history and World history? What style of reign would...

It was that Summer in Italy where after a brutal and violent game with Argentina in the final, England became World Champions and ended 25 years of hurt. As a Scotsman, it is one of annoyance to hear the same story be told over and over again. However in hindsight, it's probably not a bad thing...

With the World Cup round the corner and with only England being the British team there, it has made me think what if at least two or all the home nations had been present at either World cup or European championship and were all much stronger to boot with their own respected years of success...

This has always been an interesting WI timeline in which we have all of the Home Nations at the 1966 World Cup which I'm surprised hasn't really been looked into that much. The thing is that it isn't far fetched that they might've all qualified as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all came...

Is this possible? Let me know in the comments. This scenario is limited to make it as democratic as possible so no Axis or Soviet Union world conquests. Additionally, all colonialism is done via client-states in this timeline. Is this possible?

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?

I've recently had this idea about China and the USA establishing a "world government" of sorts (after a WWIII of sorts), but I wonder how can it possible to achieve this idea post WWII?

The challenge is to have a vast majority of the world have an average murder rate of lower than 3 people per 100,000. Is this realistic though? And what would be needed for it?

I decided to start one off. If anyone wants to help out it would be appreciated.
