Well you have 20 years of alternate history here, if you assume the Western Allies want to placate Japan. If they start doing that in 1918 then Japan will never bother to evacuate its Chinese holdings that it did do. They would also get a higher ration at the Washington Treaty, meaning they may well complete the Kaga and Akagi as battleships not aircraft carriers, which could have a strange knock-on (or not, they might simply try to build some big ones from bottom up as an experiment)Here's one that would hopefully be more plausible than an Allied Japan.
WI: Imperial Japan Is Neutral
Simply put, the idea is to placate Japan after WWI to the point that it stays neutral instead of joining the Axis. Bonus points if you can include Japan playing both sides in the conflict.
Absent Lawrence and British intelligence operations, then the Sherif and his family would see no point in revolting. If they are not going to get any support, then they are far better off waiting it out, or playing to get some concessions from the Ottomans for their support.for a reason or another the arabs never revolted during ww1, how would this impact the war overall and it's impact on the aftermath of ottoman empire in general ?
Hence why I had the idea that they'd play both sides at first. Namely building it's own economy by supplying the UK with extra material and goods, but at the same time maintaining relations with Germany and Italy and HungaryBut the 1920s are not as much a problem OTL as the 1930s. However, your actions may have prevented the rise of the militarists, which would suit your goals. Without them, it's highly unlikely Japan embarks on an attempt to conquer China. But it will still be doing SOMETHING.
World War One actually lead to increased nationalism from the Flemish due to the German government thinking of them as an oppressed people and so they were given a current level of autonomy which long term worsened the divide between the two. In a situation where World War One didn’t happen however economic disparity and language differences would still increase nationalism on both sides although this would be a slower process. Also Flemish nationalism would be more acceptable if it didn’t have the legasy of aligning with the Germans in WW2 and many Flemish nationalist leaders wouldn’t be arrested after WW2. So I thing they would stay together however particularly the Flemish would push for more autonomy over time as the wallons would be content in their wealthy and powerful position.On the topic of Belgium, could the country have unraveled or collapsed in a timeline with no World War II
Since the maximum population of Earth is probably around a trillion people (due to the need to mitigate waste heat), plugging in the numbers gives around 500 million-1 billion people in the territory of modern Greece. Other than futuristic scenarios like that, asking the "maximum" population any given territory can support IMO doesn't make much sense outside of a premodern context (where the limit is local agriculture and societies) since technology and food imports can make that number as high as you feel like.What's the maximum population that the territory of OTL Greece could support?
Greece doesn't have to be proportionally populated to the rest of the world, does it? Put a trillion domiciles there and all out-of-the-house activity on other parts of the globe!Since the maximum population of Earth is probably around a trillion people (due to the need to mitigate waste heat), plugging in the numbers gives around 500 million-1 billion people in the territory of modern Greece.

How would you put a million million people in the territory of Greece? Cover every square inch and elevate to a necessary degree?

Yeah, I guess that's how you'd have to do it. A hundred stories covering the entire country gives you enough space for a decent-sized bedroom for everyone, but that's not accounting for the tremendous transport, plumbing, climate control systems needed.How would you put a million million people in the territory of Greece?

In Newcastle? I don't understand the reference.Shades of Wingrove
