So, I want to do a TL, but I have a bunch of options. So, I was wondering what the forum's opinion is. Options:

The African Superpower: Post-1900 alternate history of the Congo.

A Spanish Day: A more successful Argentina.

Japanese Steam: An Oda Nobunaga-ruled Japan.

Empire of the South: A more powerful Siam.

I know they are simple descriptions, but they should be enough. Poll closes Friday.
 
Sure.

African Superpower: Basically, a DRC sans Mobuto. And with a lot of luck.

A Spanish Day: Earlier Socialist influence in the Argentine congress leads to earlier reformation of the agricultural system, which gives Argentina's economy the kick it needs to survive and prosper. Thus, by the Great Depression, Argentina's economy is strong enough to push on.

Japanese Steam: Oda defeats Tokugawa and unifies Japan. Under his family's rule, Japan opens up to modernization earlier and is a strong, westernized nation by 1847, the empire of the east. Japan feeds off the collapsing Chinese empire and weak Russia to become the powerhouse of Asia.

Empire of the South: Ayutthaya does not fall to the Burmese, and continues strengthening and westernizing. It is powerful enough to resist colonization and even reconquer lands lost to the British and French.

I know most about the last two.

No one has ever done anything with Siam before, so obviously you should do a TL about the Ayutthaya.
 
I want to see a progressive Argentina here in AH because Argentina is being demonized here in AH. I want to see also a more westernized Japan to roll in this forum and see what will be the effects to the world. I believe that a well developed Argentina and earlier opening of Japan industrialize their respective regions.

We have almost 0 TLs about Africa on this board (a handful of threads, but very few TLs), so I'd really urge you to consider The African Superpower, popular opinion aside ;)

Japan's in the clear lead today. I personally would prefer doing either the African Superpower or the Ayutthaya one, but I want to do what you guys want me to!

You shouldn't let us dictate. You're here to indulge your passions, not ours. Do whichever TL you want to do! :)
 
Well, thanks, Wolfpaw. But you know, I can do that stuff later. And I'm interested in all of this anyway!

Then I say doing either the African or th Ayutthaya one...do what you want to do...
I think it's somewhat pointless if you're doing a TL when you're still preferring the another one...
 
Well, I mean, I want to do all four. It's just I think those two might be a little more interesting.
 
Okay then. You've convinced me. I hope to have the first installment of Empire of the South up later today!
