How about a Jewish state that incorporates not one, but several, preferably all, of the proposed homelands or territories for the Jews at various points in history.

The list includes (at least)

- Some proportion of Palestine region (i.e. our Israel)
- The Jewish oblast in the USSR (perhaps this only joins the rest of Israel after the USSR collapses?)
- Uganda
- Madagascar
- British Guyana
- Some significant portion of Alaska
- Some significant portion of Manchuria and/or Shanghai

The challenge, come up with a timeline to unify them as bone fide Jewish state, after 1900. The winner is the person with the highest score

Your score is calculated as:

+1 for each year after 1900 your PoD is (e.g. 1945 PoD = 45 points)

+10 for each territory on the above list that is part of Israel by 2009

+10 (or +20 see note at end of this paragraph) for each additional significant plausible territories that are not on the last that you add that is part of Israel by 2009 - if the territory is in Australasia, S. America or Europe, get +20 per territory instead of +10

-50 for any territories that succeed, split off, etc.

+100 If Albert Einstein is President at some point, and a revered President as of 2009

+100 if Israel is Communist as of 2009 (in the Marxist-Leninist sense) and has been a stable communist state for some time

+100 if Israel is a member of the Commonwealth (or British Empire if surviving), and allied to the UK, as of 2009

+100 if no Holocaust in this TL

-10,000 if nuclear war (except Hiroshima/Nagasaki in 1945)

-10,000 if ASB, zombies, UFOs etc.

-10,000 if your Israel (as of 2009) does not include at least 3 distinct non-contiguous territories in at least 2 different continents


At the end of your TL, you can post your calculated score - if I feel you need points adjusted I will post why, and your adjustment.
