DBWI: The Roman Empire Fell?

The Christians have again and again denied the laws of the state, that is why they live beyond it's protection. Do we persecute the Jews? No, because they accept the law. Christians do not, they constantly seek to disestablish the Gods of the State whenever they gain a microbe of power. They refuse to send their children to school, attack our police officers when they enter their crime ridden neighbourhoods and blow up innocent people in terrorist attacks. Then they demand welfare to pay for their stupid habit of breeding like rabbits. They need to smarten up big time before we change our policies. They should start with accepting the Gods of the State, start using and birth control and then they can get jobs!

That's a lie! We cristrians are loyale citizens of the state! We want to go to school but can't! Evryone thinks we all want to stir truble but we wan't to just live our lives! But nooooo, some drunk cristens couse rucuse, we all get punished you Hokuni!

OOC. That is a rude word for non cristens in the universe.
 
Christian ghettos do not disgrace the cities of Juliana. When Lincolni received emergency powers all the Christians were deported to Attuland as traitors. Christians are still a problematic minority in North Atlantis. Some are even Senators allied with the "birther" movement who deny proconsul Obama's election. Screw them. Juliana has even offered the now much lower population, Attuland colony as a potential deportation site.
Yes that is a unfortunate part of Juliana's past but it is unarguably more humane then ghettos.

Woooooo! said:
Sheer lies! They stayed. In fact about 1/6th of Juliani population is Christian. What lies have you learnt?

What on earth is this strange quote?

There have been allegations that as many as 1 in 6 citizens of Juliana are Christians. This is a lie spread by the North Atlantean birthers. Perhaps one in twelve of us belong to the Oneness sect. The teachings of Oneness do include Jesus as a prophet, but more in the Marcionian or Gnostic sense. They also include Plato, Archimedes, Euclid, Epictetes, and Emperor Marcus as prophets. They also accept the state seal of Juliana, the white-headed eagle (showing our Roman roots) riding on a swimming alligator. They enter parade floats in festivals, and are paragons of Roman virtue. They're almost as good at science as the Cherokee are, but that's what you would expect with Archimedes as a prophet.

The anti-Obama Christians of North Atlantis claim the Oneness followers as Christians of the type we once deported to Attuland. Oneness accepts the earth is delta order theta, while many of the NA Christians are young earthers. (I am supposing in this Tl that a place value numbering system using the first nine Greek letters and "omicron" for "outhen"="nothing" came into practice at some point. The "order theta" is referring to a type of exponential notation developed by Archimedes in The Sand-Reckoner. "delta order theta" is four billion years.)

Too bad that after North Atlantis lost the Civil War they dreamed up a dumb constitution that keeps their proconsul from assuming emergency powers. Our Proconsul Richardson could easily smash such a dissident movement. Crucifixio would not be necessary, Juliana ceded many south Atlantic islands to North Atlantis to help them save face after their defeat. Solution is right there in front of them but Obama can't resort to it.

OOC: Most of it is fine, but OBAMA? Really? Plus, Juliana is in the South.
 
OOC: Not to mention that Lincoln(i) and Obama as names don't make sense in this scenario.

Then again, its hard to tell exactly what has happened here. When did the POD occur? How did it lead to what apparently happened?

These things are confusing on good days.

Agreed, they should be Greek or Latin names.
 
Yeah. Obama ironically I can accept - I mean, I'm over 21, I can drink enough alcohol to accept that an East African name would happen.

But Lincoln is in a language that would not have developed here. No amount of wine is going to make up for that.
 
Look, it's just a game. Lincolni, Obama, and Proconsul Richardson are not fated Star Trek "Mirror Universe" counterparts who fly in the face of the hurricanes blown by the wings of a trillion butterflies. Lincolni was just a great proconsul of Juliana who had a funny name from his Hyperborean and Britannic ancestry. Obama is some weird guy born on Pacifica Outpost to a Hyperborian/Hibernian female citizen of North Atlantis and a Bantu Empire trade representative. He fought his way to being elected proconsul of North Atlantis in spite of the objections of those who questioned his citizenship. Proconsul Richardson, Executive of Juliana, is a guy from the East Mexia province of Juliana who has a weird Hyperborean last name because his great great grandfather was the son of a Mexia heiress who scandalized her culture by marrying a poor Hyperborean deportee who had once been a term slave who bough t his freedom by trading in the patent to the cotton gin. He went on to invent many other things and earned seven times more money than his wife, Septima Puma-Daughter ever had.
 
Its not so much it being Mirror Universe as just...the odds against "Lincolni" being the one freeing the slaves and such things adding up to look like OTL in these ways is straining the ability to engage with the scenario instead of wondering how this happened (as a sorta-contributor).

It would be like having Emperor Adolph I of the Holy Roman Empire launch a pogrom of the Jews in a DBWI: What if Leonidas had made a stand at Thermopylae scenario.

Does this make sense?

That's just my take, so take that as you will, but you asked (sort of).
 
Along with the odds of someone ruling anywhere near America with any name close to Obama RIGHT NOW in an alternate reality with so many changes is so astronomical that it defys all reason.
