So basically it is as if Deutschland researched the "Alliance with the Soviet Union" tech in HoI4?^So is he like a more competent version of Bokasa without the blatant insanity?
A little fun map scenario I've been thinking of is a Stalin accepts idea, based off a WI question I asked in the ASB forum; i.e. what if Stalin accepted Hitler's proposal to attack the British Empire and acquire land in southern Asia. Neutral nations like Persia, Afghanistan and to a lesser extent Turkey are also attacked (though admittedly, Turkey is more to occupy the region of Lake Van fully, as well as to possibly adjust the Armenian border to a more favourable one), while Germany continues its assault in Europe in a similar way to OTL. For this scenario, the surprise Soviet attacks start in late March, and they are 'forced' to invade the neutral nations in a similar way to how the Nazis attacked the Low Countries in both OTL and ITTL. This is of course ASB as there's no way Stalin would be stupid enough to fall for Hitler's and Ribbentrop's plan, but this is a bit of a fun what if. Perhaps it could even result in a three-way war later on? Date of course is 6th April 1940 (based off the OTL base map on the wiki of course).
Don't worry Stalin! I have faith in the Comintern! ("Stalin's in heaven crying his eyes out"-Stan Smith)
Über-México!
30 years after the last map. The Alaskans where already tired of rule from Moscow, cheered in the liberators from the trio of sister republics. Also, Tejas became a province of Louisiana, Ungava acended to the Union. After a revolution nearly overthrew the Mexican-friendly officials, Nicaragua "reunited" with New Spain.
So basically all porn and games are 1st-person in virtual reality? Sounds like heaven if you're into that. And what about the sexual revolution? An how's environmental damage ITTL?The Techno Sixties
As a dawn of another new decade has begun, the now simply called Techno Sixties begun just month after January of 2160. Throughout this decade many political and technological changes were well known worldwide. This decade would become permanently known for its generation of people who grew up in this decade simply called eGens (short for the eGenerations.).
The decade is commonly believed to have begun when the world and everyone around the globe all celebrated the 180th Anniversary of the Doomsday, during the beginning of the year 2163.
As technology advanced more and more since the mid-21st century, humankind was at a "silicon age" (instead of a golden age). By the time the 2160's came around, many people in Eastern and Western society were introduced to highly advanced reality shows, advanced video game industry, and even the porn industry (no joke) went booming with high virtual reality devices for a user to wear around his or her head like a helmet, and best of all these devices were released to global public market in the 2130's, but were highly expensive for only the rich to purchase. But by the 2160's the devices for virtual reality became more cheap for an average person.
Video games were now mostly booming in popularity by virtual reality, genres such as adventure, action, warfare, historic simulation, interactive adventure, RPG's, post-apoc survival, and even horror video game genres went booming. It is debated to this day what was the "king of video games", some say it was Green Sunfranchise (a RPG game series featuring a furry cat as a main character, in a fantasy/post apoc setting), 1983 (historic simulation where the user can simulation and interact with the entire timeline from the Doomsday in 1983, to present day. The player can even alternate the history in some cases a player can have the former ANZC and UPSA go to nuclear war, or have UPSA and ANZC rise at a greatest height and then fall at some point in the simulation timeline, have Socialist Siberia conquer most of East Asia and Pacific coast of North America (even having a cold war with the ANZC, or the UPSA, or even a three sided cold war). There were many scenarios as well including one where you must make New Britain become a major power in Africa and reestablish the British monarchy, and Habsburg Monarchy refounding where the player must make Austria and Switzerland become a dominant power in post-Doomsday Europe, in order to rival the Nordic Union)). And some consider these video games the "two kings", for there huge booming sales and popularity.
However technology also advanced to the point that formerly deadly diseases would now be rendered to extinction, such as measles, common cold, influenza, and even AIDS and HIV. In fact the last person to get AIDS was a French man named Jean de Fluen who was 19 years old at the time of infection, but thanks to advanced technology in medical field, he was the last man to ever get AIDS.
By the mid-2160's the human life expectancy increased from 200 to 250 years of age for the developed world. In fact the oldest person to live was a Indian woman named Riya Malhotra who was born in 1997 and died in 2165, becoming known to be the oldest human being to ever live in history. Infant morality rates in developing nations dropped, making it no longer common for infants to die when young, thus the birth rate in many Asian and African nations and also North American nations began to drop as woman and men began to have less children.
In the developing world and developed world, teenage pregnancy was becoming more uncommon by the mid-2160's. Meaning many teenagers were beginning to use high advanced forms of birth control preventing unwanted pregnancies occurring. Originally in just Antilla alone teenage pregnancy was at 30% in 2157 and dropped to 4% by 2165.
However the 2160's also was known for its new sexual revolution as well.
Politically the Techno Sixties were very interesting, it was when the North American nations of Victoria, Canada, Dinetah, Texas, US, and Mexico all formed a union called the Northern American Alliance, with made all the nations to become stronger in sharing military power and also economically stable as well. But this would lead to the rest of the developing North American nations along the East Coast becoming more unfriendly towards them, believing it was restoration of American imperialism. Even many Antillans saw the NAA as a new rival to them, believing that the NAA was form after being jealous with Antilla's might and great power in global scale.
New Britain still shown bitterness towards Antilla as well, leading to minor naval disputes as well, at one point the VOW had to step in and declare that the South Atlantic, Indian, and Southern Ocean are international waters and are not owned by anyone in a 5 mile radius.
Antilla also elected another new supreme, an Australian woman named Taylor L. McPhillips who was native to Gold Coast. McPhillips would become well known for her liberal policies on finance, lowering crime in South America and Polynesia, lowering poverty, helping people in many parts of Brazil to have electricity and even modern tech including internet. She also is well known for bringing awareness towards the unethical technology of genengineering (genetic engineering), saying "It is unethical and inhumane to allow a fellow person to be altered just so they can be 'perfect' that is just breaking the laws of mankind itself. Because nobody is perfect!". However her policies against genengineering were good, but however a black market began to grow as the result.
Eventually the Techno Sixties came to an end to which many people call as "reset" after a new issue came into being, genengineering terrorism after the Buenos Aires Bombings that occurred on May 4th, 2171. This would end the decade culturally with a new major issue, genetically superior humans who are creating terrorist groups.
And of course no one responded to my little bit about ISOTs and why they should go to their thread... I'm not racist to ISOTs, I just think they've become their own category and need to be concentrated so that way we get other stuff here. Sorry
