Related to my alternate ideologies threads-
If you think about it, WWII had some wacky governments involved. Aside from the liberal democracies and fascist authoritarian states, you also had one single communist superpower, and one militarist imperial state where the emperor was still considered a god. Doesn't that sound crazy at all?
So, what alternate version of a major power could have been in WWII? What if the United States was, say, a technocracy? Or what if Ukraine was independent and a Makhno anarchist state? What if Trotsky had settled in Republican Spain and turned it into his version of communism? A constitutional imperial state China as in Hendryk's timeline? Social Credit Canada and Synarchist Mexico double-teaming the U.S.? etc.
Got any others? How about any that are actually half-way plausible?
