I was washing some dishes after carousing the wank section on the site and thought "I want to start an AHC thread, how hard could it be?" Here's the challenge, create a North America where Native Americans control a majority, if not all, of the landmass. There are a couple of restrictions though:

1. There must be at least 4 major powers. You can add as many OPMs or minor powers as you like but there must be at least 4 major powers.

2. Some regions must have a major power in them. These are New England, Florida, Louisiana and the Dakotas. All of the the powers don't have to be there but two powers must go there. Only one power can be in the area though. (If the Iroquois are in New England and the Creek and in Florida than no one else can go in New England or Florida)

3. NO WESTERNIZATION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! No civilizations are allowed to follow a western school of thought. There can be industrialization and trading but I dont wanna see any Indians walking around in white wigs and wearing rouge. People can convert, and build big cities and travel (or also not) but no adoption of Western ideas. I want to see how politics and social hierarchy would develop under Native American rule and Native American spiritualism and Native American thinkers. So nothing called the "Lenape Republic".

4. You're allowed to twist nthings a bit, as you would expect from a site comprised of fans of fictional history, but nothing ASB. For example, change weather patterns in a battle to give the home team the advantage or have them happen upon cache of guns and ammo. Have a leader cause European troops to defect or have even have them build a major spy network that spans from Vienna to whatever the nation's capital is but no gods with fire and brimstone burning Jamestown to the ground or the Sioux somehow build MP-5s and ICBMs and turning Europe into a glassy crater. You have the liberty to fuck stuff up a decent amount but not that much.

5. This is more of an optional thing but it would be preferred if responses came as events and dates or a paragraph or two of text rather than a sentence or step by step thing. But I dont know. Do whatever, I guess.

Thats pretty much it. Go wild!
