One Imperial Pound Note
With the creation of the Imperial Federation in 1952, the fact that the various members use different currencies became a problem, in 1961 a new currency unit was created and widely adopted by the member countries of the federation called Imperial Pound, despite this some members such as Egypt, Oman, UAE and Kuwait kept their old coins

One of the oldest living monarchs, Queen Elizabeth II will celebrate her Platinum Jubilee representing the 70th anniversary of her coronation on May 1, 2022.

I would had imaginated Germany sending first human to space and being first on the Moon. And hard to imaginate that Germans would take few years catch Americans on space race. And wouldn't Britain and possibility France too be on space race?

I would had imaginated Germany sending first human to space and being first on the Moon. And hard to imaginate that Germans would take few years catch Americans on space race. And wouldn't Britain and possibility France too be on space race?

Great Britain and France participated, however they did not have as relevant roles as Germany, Russia or the United States.

A small timeline of the space race so far:
1977: NASA launches the first artificial satellite, the "Hermes"
1980: Germany and Russia launch their own satellites
1982: Balkan Missile Crisis takes place
1983: Great Britain and France create their own satellites
1984: Russia puts the first man in space
1986: Germany launches the first unmanned mission to the moon
1993: NASA puts the first man on the moon

Any ideas to add?

Backtracking a little bit to the earlier football posts.

The Donaubundesliga

The Donaubundesliga, informally known as the DBL, (official name, German: Donau-Fußball-Bundesliga, Hungarian: Dunai Szövetségi Labdarúgó Liga, Czech/Slovak: Dunajská federální/a fotbalová liga, Croatian: Dunavska Nogometna Savezna Liga, Slovenian: Donavska Nogometna Zvezna Liga, Romanian: Liga Federală de Fotbal Dunăreană), is the top level championship of the Danubian Football League System. Contested by 28 clubs; the DBL, along with the Federal Championship, operate on a system of promotion and relegation with the Cisleithanian and Transleithanian Conference Championships.

Due to historical peculiarities and the diverse population of the county, the Danube Federation has a relatively short history of nationwide football competitions compared to other European countries. Despite having one of the most successful football organizations and a deep tradition in competitive sports.

When Austria Hungary was reconfigured the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1919, multiple bureaucratic and administrative institutions remained separate or duplicated well into the 1930s. In football, domestic rivalries between previously independent federations prevented the creation of a unified football federation. By the time the Empire confederated in 1919, the Austrian and Hungarian football teams had competed individually in the 1912 and 1916 Olympics, whose football tournaments had been organized by FIFA. [1]

Throughout the 1920 the multiple Olympic Committees within the nation began to coalesce; however, the football federations refused to cooperate. It took until 1922 for the Bohemian Football Union and the Austrian Football Association to merge in order to forming the Cisleithanian Football Federation (CFB). Shortly afterwards they were joined by Galician Football Association [2] in 1923, after Russia allowed for the formation of a separate Football Union based in Warsaw was formed.

Meanwhile in Hungary, the Hungarian Football Federation (Magyar Labdarúgó Szövetség) remained staunchly independent, while succesfully integrating organizations from the former Kingdom of Hunary. The one holdout being the Croatian Sports Federation (Hrvatski športski savez), which sought but failed to join with the Cisleithanian Football Federation.

In 1946, after one year after the reunification of Poland, the Polish Football Union absorbed the Galician teams from the CFB. The vacuum created by the absence of the Krakow and Lviv-based teams placed pressure on the Empire’s football organizations to merge or at the very least reorganize. In 1950 a compromise was finally reached with FIFA, which allowed the Hungarian Football Federation and the Croatian Sports Federation to merge and co-exist independently of the CFB as the Transleithanian Football Federation. A full generation after the Danube Federation had been created, the Empire remained divided when it came to Football.

Two years later in 1952 the Cisleithanian and Transleithanian Federations organized a joint championship game between the champions of their top tier leagues, played between SK Austria Klagenfurt and Ferencvarosi Budapest in Pressburg. This joint championship was retroactively referred to as the first Donaubundesliga. The CFB and TFF formalized the tournament in 1954. Both organizations officially merged in 1968, although they continued to have separate representation across international FIFA tournaments until the 1990s. [3]

The Donaubundesliga is the most-watched sports league in Europe, broadcasting to a potential audience of 2.5 billion people. And consistently has the highest average attendance amongst Europe’s major leagues. Financially the Donaubundesliga turnover is of 1.7 Kr, broken down into match-day revenue (424m Kr), sponsorship receipts (573m Kr), and broadcast income (594m Kr). It is the only European football league where clubs collectively make a profit.

Although the Donaubundesliga is considered the top-level football tournament in the Danube Federation, it is a common misconception that the Donaubundesliga was the first empire-wide tournament. This honor belongs to the Emperor’s Cup, an informal knockout tournament first played in 1929 to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Federation. [4]

The Danube Football League System

The Danube Football League System, also known as the twin pyramids, is a series of interconnected leagues for men’s association football clubs across the Danube Federation, with five clubs from Lichtenstein also participating. The system is divided into two Federations, each with a hierarchical format with promotion and relegation between leagues at different levels, allowing even the smallest club the theoretical possibility of ultimately rising to the very top of the system.

The exact number of clubs varies from year to year as clubs join and leave leagues, merge, or fold altogether, but an estimated average of 15 clubs per division implies that more than 7,000 teams of nearly 5,300 clubs are members of a league. Aside from the Liechtensteiner clubs with full participation, clubs from Poland, Serbia, Montenegro, and Albania frequently participate in the lower levels of the pyramid as well. [5]

As there are no official definitions of any level below 11, any references to the structure at level 12 and below should not be regarded as definitive. The pyramid for women’s football runs separately to seven tiers.

[1] In OTL, each “nation” of Austria-Hungary competed separately in the Olympics early on. Note that the 1908 and 1912 football events in the Olympics were administered by FIFA (and are sometimes considered the first “world cups”). In TTL the same goes for the 1916 Olympics.
[2] Bohemia also had a separate Football Association in OTL, while the Galician Football Association was subordinate to the Austrian Football Association, and the precursor to OTL’s Polish Football Association. There was also a Lower Austria Football Federation (i.e. Slovenia) in OTL, but I assume it was absorbed earlier in TTL.
[3] Overall I borrowed from the early history of the Brazilian Football Confederation (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol), which also had separate Federations for each state due to the country’s size. I also borrow from the NFL/AFL merger in the 60s, and finally the creation and promotion of the English Premier League since the 1990s.
[4] The “Emperor’s Cup” is a giant knockout tournament between all the teams of the top 4 Levels (a total of 108 teams from the Danube Federation plus 20 guest teams mostly from Poland). Similar to OTL's Copa del Rey in Spain and the like across Europe.
[5] The Pyramid itself is modeled after the English Football League System, but due to the perks of the Danube Federation there are two “Conferences” in the top tournament (think NFL, but the bottom teams are still relegated), and a secondary “Championship” from the teams that don’t make the “play-offs”. Like any pyramid system in OTL, anything below level 3 is financially unstable and anything under level 5 is entirely amateur.
[6] In summary, if you live in the Danube Federation, Football is life.

Ladies walk around in masks during the Great Influenza Pandemic, May, 1939​

The Great Influenza Pandemic of 1937, also known as The Great Influenza or the Great Influenza Epidemic, was an exceptionally deadly global flu pandemic caused by the influenza A H1N1 virus.
The first documented outbreak was October 1937 in New York, United States, with further cases reported in France, Germany and the United Kingdom in November. Four years later, nearly a third of the global population, or about 750 million people, was infected in seven successive waves. Estimates of deaths range from 19 million to 60 million, and possibly as many as 100 million, making it the second deadliest pandemic in human history.

Although scientists believe that the disease emerged in the 1910s in Kansas, with some epidemics occurring in the western United States throughout the 20s and 30s, the pandemic didn't really start until 1937, the disease would have traveled from Kansas to everyone. In the United States before the first cases appeared in Europe, the first outbreak recognized by the media occurred in New York City in October 1937, quickly spreading throughout the United States and Europe, later reaching Africa, the Middle East, India, China. and Oceania the first recorded wave of the disease took place in May 1938

The pandemic broke out during the turmoil of the 1930s, the growth of transcontinental trade, as well as the large movement of troops during the "Decade of the Ten Wars" helped in the rapid spread of the disease. In May 1941, the virus that caused the pandemic evolved to become much less deadly, and later only caused the common seasonal flu. By 1942, deaths had returned to pre-pandemic levels.

The Partition of Antartica, 1984​

From left to right, Showa Land (Under Japanese Claim, Light Pink), Mary Byrd Land (Under no claims, white), Chilean Antarctic Territory (Under Chilean Claim, Light Blue), British Antarctic Territory (Under British Claim, Pink), Grahamland (Under British Control, Dark Pink), New Swabia (Under German Control , Grey), Queen Maud Land (Under Norwegian control, Red), Australian Antarctic Territory (Under Australian control, Purple), Kaiser Wilhelm II Land (Under German control, Gray), Adélie Land (Under French control, Dark Blue), Dependency Ross (Under New Zealand control, Green)

In 1984, several world powers met at the London Conference to decide the future of the Antarctic Continent, the objective of the Conference was to resolve the problems regarding the claims on the areas of the Antarctic continent, disputed by different nations, similar to the Berlin Conference of 1888 in the which divided Africa, the Artarthritis Treaty divided the continent between eight different nations, the United Kingdom, Chile, Germany, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, France and Japan.

The treaty is extremely contested internationally, accused of being biased towards the British (since about half of the continent was handed over to members of the Imperial Federation), even though the treaty had "divided" the continent definitively, there are several claims from countries such as Argentina , Chile (Which wants several territories of the Antarctic Peninsula) United States, Danube, Italy, Brazil, South Africa and even Russia, which oppose the resolutions of the treaty

In addition, despite a series of claims, the only territory on the continent under the direct control of any nation is Grahamland, under the control of Great Britain.

Just as the Ottoman Empire was once the sick man of Europe, China today is the sick man of the East.
China never got over the Century of Humiliation, being subjugated by the western powers and by Japan since the 19th century, today's China is merely a shadow of what it was centuries ago, from one of the greatest powers in the world to a small backyard. of the Western powers, being controlled by its Japanese neighbor through the West Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.
The Chinese Civil War ended with the victory of the Kuomintang and the beginning of a dictatorship that lasted until 1981, when a peaceful revolution turned the nation into a democracy, however, there is still a long time until the Chinese humiliation ends

Origins of conflict
Since the 1870s, Irish nationalists in the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) had been demanding Home Rule, or self-government, from Britain. Marginal organizations such as Arthur Griffith's Sinn Féin advocated some form of Irish independence, but were a small minority.

The demand for Home Rule was finally granted by the British government in 1912, immediately sparking a protracted crisis within the UK as Ulster Unionists formed an armed organization - the Ulster Volunteers (UVF) - to resist this devolution measure, in less than in territory they could control. In turn, the Nationalists formed their own paramilitary organization, the Irish Volunteers.

The Government of Ireland Act 1914 was passed and became law. It was extremely unpopular in the House of Lords, but was pushed into the Royal Assent anyway. The bill temporarily divided Ireland into 2, Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland. It gave Southern Ireland a bicameral Parliament (a 40-member Senate and 164 Houses of Commons) in Dublin, which was empowered to handle most national affairs, although it still sent 42 MPs to London.
Northern Ireland consisted of 6 counties. The North had a large Protestant population that was against Home Rule. The 6 counties were temporarily separated and continued to be administered by Westminster for another 6 years.

On 18 September 1920, Northern Ireland was absorbed into Southern Ireland,this would turn out to be disastrous. In the years leading up to 1920, Protestants protested for membership in the South. The most notable protest was the Belfast Strike and Massacre of 1919. Originally a labor strike in search of better working hours, it turned into a violent riot. For reasons unknown, pogroms by radical Protestants turned on their fellow Catholics who marched with them and began beating them. Soon, the Royal Irish Constabulary would open fire on the Protestants and Orangemen. It was a sad and strange turn of events indeed.

Catholics were not angels either. Anti-socialist Catholic terrorist organizations appeared to fight Protestant trade union terrorist organizations. The state government of Ireland (in the United Kingdom) committed massacres against peaceful protesters. The Ulster Revolutionary Army (URA) bombed civilians in retaliation. It was all an avoidable mess, plagued by terrorism and repression on both sides, most of the 20th century would remain bleak for Ulster. However, the dove of peace finally flew over Belfast, during the so-called "little peace" during the 20's and 30's, Ireland was in a relatively peaceful situation (although still plagued by terrorism), mainly because of the work carried out by skilful politicians like Michael Collins and Richard Mulcahy, who managed, even if temporarily to cool the heads of rival regions of Ireland
The Great Good Friday Uprising of 1940
During the late 30s tensions in Ireland began to rise, and the "Little Peace" began to end, after the start of the Crisis of 1932 the number of terrorist attacks practically tripled, most were launched by organizations such as the Irish Patriotic Front and the Ulster Revolutionary Army

The uprising, in which more than 50 people died, was almost exclusively confined to Greater Dublin and was put down within a month, but the British response, executing the insurgency's leaders and arresting thousands of nationalist activists, galvanized support for the separatists as well as as followers of Countess Markievicz and Éamon de Valera. By this time, support for the British was waning, and Irish public opinion was shocked and outraged by some of the actions committed by British troops.
The April Crisis of 1940
In April 1918, the British government, faced with the crisis caused by the uprising, tried to impose martial law over the entire Irish territory, something that was refused by the local government, this generated the so-called "April Crisis" or "Good Friday Crisis". "British action further alienated Irish nationalists and produced mass demonstrations and an ever-increasing amount of bombings across Ireland, things got worse when an Irish nationalist tried to assassinate King George VI, this caused a great deal of anti-Irish sentiment. -Irish in Great Britain, since the ex-King Edward VIII had already been assassinated by an Irish nationalist in 1936, the Ulster government took the opportunity to ask the parliament for the return to the status of direct control of Westister pre-1920, which was widely condemned by the Irish government

On 14 June 1922, 200 anti-Dominionist IPF militants occupied the Four Courts and several other buildings in central Dublin, resulting in a tense standoff. These Anti-Dominionist Republicans wanted to trigger a new armed confrontation with the British, who hoped to join the Irish government. However, for those who were determined to turn the Dominio into a viable, self-governing Irish state, this was an act of rebellion that would have to be suppressed by them, not the British.

Arthur Griffith was in favor of using force against these men immediately, but Michael Collins, who wanted at all costs to avoid civil war, left the Four Courts garrison alone until the end of June. he secured a large majority in the general elections, along with other parties that supported the Treaty. Collins was also under continued pressure from London to assert his government's authority in Dublin.

At that time, the British Government also lost patience with the situation in Dublin due to the increasingly violent uprisings that threatened to engulf all of Ireland, several violent episodes also reached Great Britain.

The new Prime Minister Winston Churchill warned Collins that he would use British troops to attack the Four Courts unless the Provisional Government took action. In fact, the British Cabinet decided to attack the Four Courts themselves on 25 June, in an operation that would involve tanks, howitzers and planes. However, on the advice of the generals commanding the British garrison in Dublin, the plan was canceled at the last minute. The argument was that British involvement would have united the Irish government's opinion against the treaty, and instead Collins was given a last chance to clear the four courts themselves.

Collins, after giving the Four Courts garrison a final ultimatum to leave the building on June 27, decided to end the stalemate by bombing the Four Courts garrison to surrender. This attack was not the opening shot of the war, as skirmishes took place between pro and anti-dominion factions across the country as the British were handing over the barracks. However, this represented the 'point of no return', when total war was effectively declared and the Civil War officially began.

The anti-treaty forces in the Four Courts, who only had small arms, surrendered after three days of bombing and government troops storming the building. Just before the surrender, a massive explosion destroyed the west wing of the complex, injuring many advancing Free State soldiers and destroying records. Government supporters claimed that the building had been deliberately mined.

Pitched battles continued in Dublin until 5 July. IRA units from the Dublin Brigade, led by Oscar Traynor, occupied O'Connell Street – triggering another week of street fighting and costing 55 more dead and 300 wounded. In addition, the Free State took over 500 republican prisoners. Civilian casualties are estimated at over 250. As the fighting in Dublin subsided, the Dominion government was firmly in control of the Irish capital and anti-Dominion forces dispersed across the country, mainly to the south and west.
The Course of War
The outbreak of the Civil War forced pro and anti-domain supporters to choose sides. Defenders of Dominion came to be known as "Pro-Dominionists" or Army of the Dominion, legally the Army of Ireland, often referred to as "Staters" by their opponents. The latter called themselves republicans and were also known as "anti-dominion" or "irregular" forces, a term favored by the Free State side.

The IPF claimed it was defending the Irish Republic declared in 1940 during the Good Friday uprising. Éamon de Valera stated that he would serve as an ordinary IRA volunteer and left the leadership of the anti-dominionists to Liam Lynch, the IPF chief of staff. De Valera, although Republican President in October 1940, had little control over military operations. The campaign was led by Liam Lynch until he was killed on 10 January 1941, and then by Frank Aiken from 2 February 1941.

With Dublin in pro-dominion hands, the conflict spread across the country. The war began with anti-domain forces holding Cork, Limerick and Waterford as part of a self-styled Republic of Munster. However, as the anti-dominion side was not equipped to wage conventional warfare, Liam Lynch was unable to take advantage of the Republicans' early advantage in numbers and occupied territories. He hoped simply to keep the Republic of Munster long enough to force Britain to renegotiate the treaty.

The great cities of Ireland were all taken with relative ease by the Free State in August 1940. Michael Collins, Richard Mulcahy and Eoin O'Duffy planned a national offensive of the Dominion of Ireland, sending overland columns to take Limerick in the west and Waterford in the west. south, eastern and maritime forces to seize Counties Cork and Kerry in the south and Mayo in the west. In the south, landings took place at Union Hall in Cork and Fenit in the port of Tralee in Kerry. Limerick fell on 20 November, Waterford on the same day and Cork City on 10 December as a Dominion force landed by sea at Passage West. Another maritime expedition to Mayo in the west secured government control over that part of the country. While in some places the republicans put up determined resistance, nowhere were they able to defeat the regular forces
armed with artillery and armor. The only real conventional battle during the Dominion offensive, the Battle of Killmallock, was fought as the Dominio troops advanced south of Limerick.

Government victories in the main cities ushered in a period of guerrilla warfare. After the fall of Cork, Liam Lynch ordered the IPF units to disperse and form flying columns. They held out in areas such as the western part of Counties Cork and Kerry in the south, County Wexford in the east, and counties Sligo and Mayo in the west. Sporadic fighting also took place around Dundalk, where Frank Aiken and the Irish Republican Army's Fourth Northern Division were based, and Dublin, where small-scale but regular attacks were mounted against Dominio troops.

August and September 1940 saw widespread attacks on Dominion forces in the territories they had occupied in the July-August offensive, inflicting heavy casualties on them, however, with the onset of winter, the Republicans found it increasingly difficult to sustain their campaign, and casualty rates among the Irish Army troops dropped rapidly.

In the autumn and winter of 1940, Free State forces dismantled many of the largest republican guerrilla units – in Sligo, Meath and Connemara in the west, for example, and in much of Dublin city. Elsewhere, anti-domain units were forced by lack of supplies and safe houses to disperse into smaller groups, typically nine to ten men. Despite these National Army successes, it took another eight months of intermittent warfare before the war came to an end. By the late 1940s and early 1941, the anti-Dominion guerrilla campaign had largely been reduced to acts of sabotage and destruction of public infrastructure such as roads and railways. It was also during this period that the IPF began to burn the homes of Dominion senators and many of the Anglo-Irish landed class.

In May 1941, Éamon de Valera established his own "republican government" in opposition to Dominio. However, until then the anti-treaty side had no significant territory and the government of Valera had no authority over the population.
End of the War
By early June 1941, the IPF's offensive capabilities had been seriously eroded, and when, in July, Republican leader Liam Deasy was captured by Free State forces, he called on the Republicans to end their campaign and come to terms with the Domain. State executions of anti-dominion prisoners, 34 of whom were shot in June 1941, also affected Republican morale. In addition, the Irish Army's operations in the field were rapid, firmly breaking the remaining Republican concentrations.

June and July 1941 saw this progressive dismemberment of republican forces continue with the capture and sometimes death of guerrilla columns. A National Army report on 4 September stated: "Events of the last few days point to the beginning of the end as far as the irregular campaign is concerned."

As the conflict turned into a de facto victory for the pro-domain side, de Valera asked the IPF leadership to call for a ceasefire, but they refused. The IPF executive met July 26 in County Tipperary to discuss the future of the war. Tom Barry proposed a motion to end the war, but it was defeated by 6 votes to 5. Éamon de Valera was allowed to appear, after some debate, but he did not have the right to vote.

Liam Lynch, the Republican leader, was killed in a skirmish in the Knockmealdown Mountains in County Tipperary on January 10. The National Army had extracted information from republican prisoners in Dublin that the IRA Executive was in the area and, in addition to killing Lynch, they also captured IPF officers.

It is often suggested that Lynch's death allowed the more pragmatic Frank Aiken, who took over as the IPF's chief of staff, to stop what appeared to be a futile struggle. Aiken's accession to the leadership of the IPF was followed on 1 September by the declaration of suspension of military activities; on September 20, 1941, he issued a ceasefire order to IPF volunteers. They were to lay down their weapons rather than surrender them or continue a fight they were unable to win.
Consequences
The Civil War, while short, was bloody. It cost the lives of many public figures. Both sides carried out brutal acts: anti-Dominion forces killed several pro-Domain politicians and burned many homes of senators and Government of Ireland supporters, while the government executed anti-Domain prisoners, officially and unofficially.
The internal conflict left a bitter legacy that continues to influence Irish politics to this day. Until the 1990s, almost all of Ireland's prominent politicians were Civil War veterans, a fact that poisoned the relationship between Ireland's two biggest parties.
However, the breakaway IPF continues in various forms to exist, the organization primarily dedicated to ending British rule in Ireland.

So my Question is Are you EZ4JONIY? Is that your Redditor account? Or it’s just posting his Scenario on this Thread and Its just a Strange Coincidence

No, I was simply inspired by his posts, I adopted several of the features he created for his scenarios such as the case of Russia, where Kalmykov takes power and China and Japan divide northern China or the claims about Antarctica
Could this cause me any problems? I use the scenario as a base but I changed several things
