Countries that benefit the most in AH

So what countries do you feel benefit the most often in TLs relative to their OTL fortunes?

Offhand, I'd put Austria-Hungary, Portugal, Russia, and of course our old friends, Byzantium and the Ottomans. Any others you think get allot of AH help?
 
Switzerland. No matter what happen, why it happens, how it happens, everybody just let Switzerland lives a quiet and virtually unchanged live.
 
50 - 50 on Israel versus Arab Levant

Often ATLs have Israel located elsewhere or nonexistant ... sometimes this results in a much more secure, though not necessarily prosperous Jewish State.

Other ATLs have the ermegence of an Arab state in the Levant where Israel is, sometimes this is labeled a sPalestine, sometimes it is part of a greater Syria, etc ...

Both are often explored.
 
Which countries do best on this board?
First place USA,
Second place Britain /UK (both are interesting as OTL is almost a Brit- or US-wank)
Third place Germany

Distant fourth is France (which usualy is screwed over by Germany, but often is able to get for example the Rhine Border)

Basicly that's it, although there are some Byzantine and Ottoman lovers around here.

The Confederate Sates of America

closely followed by...

the British Empire, the United States of America, and, of course, Germany.
 
it thought OTL was the big US wank/ anglo wank ;)

if you would post otl on a alternate timelines equivalent of AH you would get ASB remarks.
 
Russia (why not have a TL where the Tsars rule well into the 21st century?)
Sweden (gotta say, Sweden hasn't yet gotten the love it needs)
Serbia (hardly any TLs that focus on our favorite Balkan wild card)
Golden Horde
Korea
Bulgaria (gotta love the "Prussia of the Balkans". They've got a huge AH potential)
 
The Netherlands, Germany, the CSA, the USA, the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire, Denmark and Switzerland are often very powerful or more powerful than OTL.
 
Definitely Byzantines. Somehow they manage to recover and rebuild Justinian's empire every time. In the 15th century!
 
This forum usually wanks Western European and North American countries, usually the United Kingdom or the United States, sometimes France or Germany. Eastern Europe and the rest of the world is ignored and cast aside, usually only mentioned when it's become part of another space filling empire.

You have still Polish wanks time to time. I still have to see a TL about a sub-saharian African state that doesn't turn to a Draka-esque style.
 
I suspect the wanks/etc loosely correlate with the numbers of active posters from certain regions, with Britain getting an advantage because a lot of posters from CANNZAU have similar views on the Empire

There's The Kiat's Songhai timeline, and the Zanzibar one that Rebeu just started. And, well...

The real forgotten region on this board is the Pacific, not counting Australia and NZ - I think there's been a timeline or two involving the Kingdom of Hawaii, but otherwise Polynesia is a cipher while Melanesia and Micronesia aren't even that. I really wish the author of Hindu Polynesia would start it up again.

As for 'most-wanked' nations, I'd add the Norse and Saxons to the list everyone else has made.
