Dystopia Thread

In order to celebrate Halloween I thought it would be fun to create a dystopia thread! Here you can post any dystopian flags, maps, short stories, etc, as long as its either alternate history or future history. I put this under After 1900 because I couldn't find a place where you can post random AH that would fit this category and most dystopias seem to take place in the 20th Century but pre-1900 dystopias are welcome too!
 
Axis Power Victory Circa 2017

2017-Doom of Democracy Aryan Pact Victory.png


In this world the Axis Powers emerged victorious against the Allies. The POD is in 1933 when FDR is never elected president and the Great Depression continues. By the late 1930s the United States is far too weak to have a strong military and won't be capable of building an atomic bomb anytime soon. On the other hand, the Third Reich has been exploring nuclear weapons and is expected to have one ready by the mid-1940s. WW2 starts around the same time and the first few years are mostly the same up until the bombardments of Britain which are far more successful and end with the Nazis conducting an invasion of the British Isles and the establishment of a Nazi puppet led by Oswald Mosley. In the east the Soviets are failing against the might of Germany which has defeated the west. Pearl Harbor is still on schedule but ends with the total obliteration of the American fleet in Hawaii and is followed by a Japanese invasion and occupation of the islands. In early 1944 Moscow is captured and Joseph Stalin is killed by Nazi tanks while attempting to invade the city. Without a leader the numerous generals of the USSR compete for supremacy over the dying nation creating the perfect situation for the Nazis and Japanese to invade Russia resulting with its surrender in November 1946. By this point Germany has developed four atomic bombs and has earned several islands in the Caribbean from its conquered enemies in Europe. starting in the December of 1946 German planes begin to battle the American air force in the Gulf of Mexico. By the time a nuclear bomb is dropped on Tallahassee on March 8th, 1947 the American populous is exhausted and demoralized from the war and surrenders. The USA is forced to give up islands in the Caribbean to Germany and islands in the Pacific and Alaska to Japan.

In the aftermath of World War 2 the world was divided between three spheres of influence. In the west the Allied Treaty Organization (ATO) which was led by Canada and consisted of the world's last democracies in Latin America and Africa, along with Iceland, Ireland, and Sweden, which had all succeeded in remaining neutral during WW2. In the Far East was the Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere (PCPS) which was dominated by Japan and consisted of its puppets. And in the middle of the two factions was the Aryan Pact which was led by Germany and consisted of its puppets and few allies not led by a puppet regime. The USA was humiliated by its devastating loss in World War 2 and finally collapsed in the Fifties due to a failing economy and the rise of radicals. In its place were several small nations, ranging from the Foundry Federal Republic to the Union of Carolinian Socialist Republics.

Eventually World War 3 would break out in 1986 when the Nazi-allied Empire of La Plata invaded the Canadian-allied Brazil. The Third Reich would retaliate quick by deploying nuclear missiles across the planet before both the Japanese or ATO even had time to react. Ontario and Japan were transformed into nuclear wastelands and the Nazis would wipe out any remaining resistance with ease and by 1989 the entire ATO and PCPS had fallen to the Aryan Pact.

It has now been 70 years since the end of World War 2 and the dawn of the German Era. Germany dominates the planet and has become the "new Roman Empire" of this nightmarish world. The majority of Earth is either a German puppet or a part of Germany itself and any nation strong enough to dare fight back against the Nazis, like the Italian Fascist Empire or La Plata, are too loyal and terrified of the mighty Third Reich. The fuhrer is Walter Rommel, the mentally ill descendent of Irwin Rommel. Rommel does not hesitate to use nuclear weapons and has committed plenty of genocides across the planet using the devices. Rommel has also led the German Reich in conquests of the numerous nations of the forgotten United States while what remains of the USA has united under the American Defense Pact (ADP), an EU-like organization attempting to defend what remains of democracy in North America. In Africa the final democratic nations of the continent united to form the African Federation, which is only still around because it is too far away from Germania (the new name for Berlin). The end of German global supremacy shows no sign of ending, however, the fuhrer is facing a growing amount of enemies amoung the Nazi elite and potential German civil war is becoming more and more likely.

I think it's obvious, but I don't support fascism or any of the other terrible features at all.

THE PYRAMID WAR: AN ALTERNATE 1984

Pyramid War.png


It has been over 30 years since the outbreak of World War 3, or as it is now known as in America, the Pyramid War. The Earth is divided between three totalitarian superpowers: The Union of Soviet Eurasian Republics, European Fascist Imperium, and the American Democratic Republic. The eventual partition of civilization into the three superpowers began when what was supposed to be the last great war, World War 2, ended and Europe was divided between the democracies of the west and communists in the east. Despite what the Europeans had hoped the United States of America moved its attention to East Asia and kept a close eye on the Chinese Civil War. This forced the United Kingdom into the position as the defender of democratic Europe and in 1949 the British formed the European Coalition. Eventually the United States made the grave mistake of declaring war on the Chinese communists who would seek aid from the Soviet Union (the Chinese Civil War was longer in this timeline). Just six years after the end of the last global conflict World War 3 began in 1951 when the USSR declared war on the United States. As the Americans unleashed their modern weaponry (such as atomic bombs) on the communists much of China became an inhospitable wasteland. Meanwhile the European Coalition did nothing as the titans of the east and west clashed and in 1954 the British ally of Italy fell under the influence of the Soviets after a communist coup. This would anger the people of Britain and in 1955 Oswald Mosley and his followers overthrew the former British government and declared the Fascist Empire of Britannia with Mosley becoming Emperor Oswald I. The rest of the European Coalition was powerless to do anything against Oswald I and the Britannian military occupation of West Europe would allow fascist regimes to be installed throughout the entire coalition within just four years. These new fascist states were completely loyal to London and in 1958 the European Coalition would declare war on the communists. During this time the USA would see a disturbing growth in nationalism and paranoia of communism. The election of J Edgar Hoover, the man who had partially sparked this paranoia, became president in 1957 the United States began to descend into a dystopia like the communists and European Coalition. The government would start to monitor its citizens and began to purge those who were considered "a threat to democracy." In 1960 the former American government was abolished and was replaced with the American Democratic Republic, a dictatorship under the direct authority of President Hoover. The 1960s would see the final steps towards the world's transformation into what it is today. In 1963 the European Coalition would unite into a single entity, the European Fascist Imperium (more commonly known as Imperia) with Oswald I becoming Emperor of Europe. Immediately the new empire would begin to murder minorities considered to be inferior to what the emperor defined as "the European Race." A genocide was committed on Jews, Africans and Slavs, who were all deported to a colony in the heart of Africa named "Greater Congo." The region became a reserve for the Inferiors where they would await death. In response to the unification of Europe the communists united into a single nation called the Union of Soviet Eurasian Republics, or the USER. Finally, in 1964 America would declare war on Imperia in "the name of democracy" which began the three-sided conflict. As the next 20 years passed by the world lost any hope of destroying the three superpowers as all nations not already a part of them were invaded and annexed. The three nations have even rewritten history so not a single person remembers the world prior to the 60s and those who dare to learn the truth are discovered and killed.


THE UNION OF SOVIET EURASIAN REPUBLICS (EURASIA)

Flag of the USER.png


Capital: Moscow

Ideology: Ultra-Totalitarian Communism

Out of the three superpowers Eurasia is probably the best (that is not saying much). Perhaps the most obvious example of this is that the Eurasian government has not completely eradicated history. The average Eurasian knows about the world prior to what the government refers to as the "Age of the Proletariat" and the Pyramid War is referred to as World War 3. Still, the government has rewritten some parts of history such as democracy not existing and according to the Eurasians the Americans never outlawed slavery. Free speech is also prohibited, it is mandatory to go to party rallies, the government is always watching you, and writing is is strictly forbidden and forgotten.


THE EUROPEAN FASCIST IMPERIUM (IMPERIA)

Capital: Londinium (OTL London)

Ideology: Nazi-Like Fascism

The Imperians have completely rewritten history to glorify themselves as the supreme race, which they have deemed the "European Race." Discriminated minorities (called "Inferiors"), such as Africans, have either been murdered through genocide, enslaved, sent to the Greater Congo, or have become subject to horrific experiments. Society has been rebuilt to worship the party which has taken over all aspects of life. War is now glorified and Emperor Oswald II is essentially worshipped as a god. Woman have been reduced to the position of creating more Europeans while men are raised to be no more than soldiers.


THE AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC (AMERICA)

Flag of the American Democratic Republic.png


Capital: Samburg (OTL Washington DC)

Ideology: Ultra-Nationalist Corporate Dictatorship

Out of all three nations America is the only to still use money. However, the wallet has been abolished and all money is accessed through an ATM-like machine called a bank. This allows the government to manipulate how much money an individual has which in turn manipulates their life. Speaking of the government, America is run by several greedy men who run what may resemble an OTL corporation. The head of state is still the president, who takes the roll as the "CEO of America." However, no average citizen, called a Patriot, knows this and instead believes that they are being ruled by a benevolent god named Uncle Sam who must be worshipped everyday. The government has "solved" racism by segregating America to the point that the Patriots don't even know that other races exist. Individualism has vanished and the people will do whatever the corporations want them to.

Also, I'm sure most people know this, but I don't support anything in this world, I'm just trying to craft a dystopia.
