I'm sorry for insulting you earlier. I would like to help you imprive your TL. The things that are, imho, the most improbable, as they stand now, are the Christianization of Persia and the temporary independence of Chicago. The second one could be plausible if you would just give a reason, specifically, as to why the city would secede. More than just this:



As for Christianizing Persia, I don't think that there is any way that you could make that plausible, and it doesn't seem to be inherently necessary to your TL about a monarchy in NE. Yes people have (or at least claim to have had) visions of the Virgin Mary throughout history, but the only time a non-Christian nation became Christian as the result of a vision was when Constantine converted the Roman Empire to Christianity after he saw (or claimed to see) a giant cross before a battle. And there were plenty of reasons for him to convert to Christianity even if he didn't see what he said he did -- though I can't think of any of them now. The chances are extremely slim that another country would become Christian for these reasons, and the formation of an indpendent monarchy in New England would not influence this. I am typically prone to think that if the POD (or an event that results from it) does not affect an event, that the said event will transpire in the same manner as it did in OTL Also, I may be wrong, but most people who have experienced such visions of Mary were already Catholic in the first place.

As for Persia becoming a "European Power" even if they did become Christian somehow (which wouldn't have been as big a deal by that point in history; it was more about how secular the country was) they wouldn't have been anything near "Great Power" status. They'd have been a third- or fourth-rate power more like Portugal or Spain in the 19th century of OTL.

No, no, it's ok. I realize that some of my ideas were stupid. But to make a little more sense, how about Chicago and all Lake County, IL secede after the state makes declares say electric trains unsafe, and makes them illegal...

Much better TL (it is very original, as far as I know, btw). There may still be some stuff that's a little implausible, but nothing that screams "ridiculous!" ;)

Just wondering about this, though. Did Italy go Fascist in this TL (or did Mussolinin just play a Marx-like role, not installing a government in his own country, but just defining it)? If they didn't or if he didn't "Fascism" under that name, wouldn't exist. You could still have a very nationalist, militaristic dictatorship, but, as you probably know, "fascism" came from "fasces" (or something like that) from ancient Rome, an axe w/ a bunch of sticks tied around it.

What is the general technological level of your tl?

Technology wise,most things developed as they did in OTL. As for Fascism, he was kicked out of Italy, and fled to China...and played a Marx like role...
