That is an excellent map, Euio.
This was an option considered just after WW1, but ultimately rejected. If all three Baltic nations are put into one state by the Soviets, it might be possible that in those 50 years (unless we consider butterflies, such a change would not change the time of USSR's dissolution dramatically) the people would start identifying with the new state rather than the three separate ones.
Map of Russian and American troop deployments over Beringia. The year is 1979. Simple, but yeah, I like to make maps for what I write.
eh..I don't buy it...at least from the native ethnics...Only way the identifying with a united Baltic state might happen would be if there was a complete massive influx of Russians in the the Baltic SSR..look at all the trouble the Russian immigrants caused in Estonia and Latvia....Even with a Russian majority in the Baltic SSR you'd have trouble with the indigineous groups...Legolas..you know how long the Lithuanians maintained a guerilla war against the Soviets AFTER WW2....
I just don't see any of the groups going away quietly into the night..
Don't you think that the three nations would still want to stress there national identities and differences ?
+ Indeed Lithuania had a great kingdom in the past.
+ Latvia is from same baltic language group but is letherian I believe.
+ Estonia is not from baltic language goup and I believe would try to have ties with the Finns.
Maybe a Baltic Economic union would be doable though... Or a confederation.
Er... if the USSR's fall goes more-or-less as OTL, wouldn't it come together for each state, what with SSRs having the right to secede written into the Soviet Constitution, while ASSRs didn't?After the independence (which would probably come separately for each state) a confederation may be created.
By the way, what do you mean by "letherian"?

Superb, Euio, though it seems a bit overblown (that few atomic strikes would not 'sterilise' Britain or require the capital to be moved to Iceland of all places...)
Bah. Realism is overated. (and it's an RoN game )Why does it say that the Russians moved their capital to Strasbourg, of all places, after the destruction of Moscow?
