Alright, so I've had this idea lately, for a really cool TL. But, I have this problem of making it completely take form. Alright, so, I want to create two wank(ish) nations, with PODs around the 14th century, but nations that aren't any OTL ones, and do not resemble (very much) any OTL ones.
My plan is to have a World War lasting from 1925 to 1953 (keep in mind the POD before commenting on how plausible that is). This thread isn't to talk about that idea in and of itself, but if this thread is successful I might make such a thread. Now, I have a few ideas for some nations, please comment on plausibility and also submit your own ideas for strange nations.
Here's the first idea I will present: A group of Vikings, (preferably still Pagan) once losing contact with Europe, join with a local Native American tribe, and something of a mishmash culture develops. If I am correct (though probably not), this could result in a Native American (with Viking influence) tribe that is immune to most of Europe's diseases when the Europeans come over in a similar to OTL time frame. Once a lot of people start dying, said tribe could proclaim themselves "Protector of the Continent and It's Peoples" or something to that effect, and create a continent dominating country by the time of the Great War ITTL (1925-1953).
Comments? Ideas? Bleh? Shoot myself?
