How I Learned to Balkanize America…
and Screw with The Rest of the World while I’m Was at it As Well.
A Timeline

Alright. So, despite the fact that I have a timeline still in the works, I’ve opted to start a new project; one that will hopefully result in quite a bit of fun. A Mexican Victory will still continue sporadically, but this is the fruit of some old ideas gathered in my head and a crazy outline I laid out in one long - and I mean long - afternoon of leisure after months of stress at work. This means I got everything until the 1850s laid out roughly, so updates should be short and frequent (since a lot is already written).

Anyway I won’t be working with a specific POD here. Instead I’ll start with a few unrelated changes in the early decades of the 1800s (for all intents and purposes the POD is somewhere in December 1799 or January 1800). These changes will certainly pile up fast and result a radically different North America (and world) than OTLs.

Like my previous TL, this will be posted mostly in a textbook-like style, but I’ll do my best to add some pulpy-ness as I go (rule-of-cool will take preference where I see fit). There will also be a huge butterfly net on the people that are around. I also intend to reference other TLs (in this forum and pop-culture) later on with the appearance of certain characters. Anyways while I was at it I figure the end result will look something like this:



I’m including the map to get some attention, but things might (or rather will) change as we go along. Also I do hope this ends up being somewhat realistic. The first update will be published tomorrow, once I proof read it. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Cheers!
