So I thought I'd make a thread to be a general discussion on alternate political entities, since I prefer discussion to reading/making timelines. List your favorites, post ones that you came up with or ask questions to get discussions going :)

Some people are Byzantophiles, some people prefer the Ottomans... I'm all about the Zoroastrian wank. In a world without Islam I could imagine a middle east dominated by Zoroastrian Persia stretching from Anatolia to Punjab. Their biggest rival would no doubt be Coptic Egypt.

From the same no-Islam timeline I started there was a wanked Visigothic Spain that eventually shares a monarch with France, who is given the title Holy Roman Emperor some year in the eleventh century. Seeing as that Italy was a battleground between France and Spain during OTL Renaissance with Spain still managing to get the lower half of the peninsula after all the war, a combined force could take the region easily. The pope was an ally in the endeavor, and officially established the political structure of the Holy Roman Empire.
