After Al Capone went legit following the failure of Prohibition in the mid-30s, he started Capone Breweries and later Capone Grocery Stores, Inc. He is widely credited with popularizing the pizza, or "Chicago style Capone Pie."
 
I wonder, would not "Capon's Chicago Pie" work better from a marketing POV?

That actually is a great suggestion. However, I am incredibly lazy so I'm probably going to leave it for now. XD ITTL they will probably end up simply calling it a "capone" after a while, though so I mean either works.

"Capone Hut."
"Papa Bugsy's Chicago Style Capones. Better capones. More cajones." XD

That fortunately will not be in the TL but I couldn't pass it up. lol
 
Mansonville.jpg

Pictured (L-R): Jim Jones, Lynn Fromme, and Christopher Boyce, guerillas in the "Free and Enlightened Union of Friends" (colloquially known as Mansonville).

Founded as a new-age spiritual group with communal elements, the Mansonville militia sought to break away from the United States, whose society they proclaimed as oppressive and archaic. California, particularly the Bay Area, suffered under frequent terrorist attacks for the better part of a decade. Jones and Fromme would later be killed in a shoot-out, while Boyce was captured, tried, and executed alongside Manson.

(OTL: Kurdish rebels with Jones, Fromme, and Boyce crudely editing in)

Gangland vs. Kaiserreich

Capone6.jpg

Alphonse Gabriel Capone, America’s so-called “Emperor of Crime”, head of the Great Lakes Syndicate, and the most wanted man in the Kaiserreich during its occupation of the American Union State.
Alphonse Gabriel Capone, sometimes known by the nickname "Scarface", was an American mobster, crime boss, and businessman who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. The Outfit was having smooth sailing until the Germans invaded America, particularly because the Germans and their puppets ended Prohibition.

After the invasion, Capone’s criminal empire quickly expanded, despite its losses, to engulf the entire Great Lakes region and became the Great Lakes Syndicate (though the Syndicate’s influence was felt throughout the then-former AUS). Throughout the entire German occupation and the vitalists’ war to reclaim America, the Syndicate would run guns and other supplies to the Vitalist Allied Forces as well as provide intelligence to the them (often at a price or deal of some sort). Additionally, the Syndicate’s gangster foot soldiers often engaged the Germans and their puppets in guerrilla, as well as urban, warfare and committed acts of terrorism (mainly against military targets).

The aftermath of the Neues Frankfurt bombing in the German Colony of Deutsches Amerika (Neues Frankfurt is the German name given to New York City). It had been heavily suspected at the time that the Great Lakes Syndicate was behind the bombing.

German military supply train derailed and crashed after Syndicate gangsters blew up the rail line. The gangsters then proceeded to lay waste to the Germans onboard and looted the train of everything not destroyed in the crash or firefight.

“We’ve cleared the tower”
“Houston is now controlling”


Ares Ascent Flight Director Jay Greene at his console in Mission Control as the Ares Saturn V clears the tower and starts a roll and pitch programme to put it on a course to intercept and rendezvous with the Ares Interplanetary Booster cluster already in orbit.

Greene, a native of Brooklyn, NY, started work in Mission Control as part of the Flight Dynamics, or FIDO, function, during the Apollo programme, and had been on shift during the Apollo 11 lunar landing. He first served as a Flight Director in 1979, primarily assigned to the ascent phases of Ares programme missions. The launch of the first manned mission to Mars was his 9th launch as Flight Director and reinforced his reputation as ‘no nonsense’ and dedicated to his job.

Shinoda Kenichi aka Shinobu Tsukasa. He is a Japanese Yakuza, the sixth and current kumicho (supreme "Kingpin") of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Empire of Japan's largest yakuza organisation.​

It would be Shinoda that would lead the Yamaguchi-gumi to be the first of the Yakuza gangs to carve out a large chunk of the criminal underworld of the former United States.

Dr. Mohammad Najibullah Ahmadzai, the twelfth prime minister of the Kingdom of Afghanistan (circa 1987).

He is the founder and leader of the reformist-socialist Watan Party, one of the largest parties in the Afghan Parliament. His two tenures as prime minister were marked by suppression of communist rebels and fighting back border incursions from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as well as improving the livelihood of Afghanistan’s rural population and the gradual implementation of both extensive modernisation reforms and women’s rights.

Victims of Discrimination: Germany’s Pagan Revivalists

vikings_2012_7_by_darksuntattoo.jpg

A man and his sons belonging to the Germanic Pagan revivalist cult known as the Cult of Nerþuz, Wōdanaz, and Fullō.
The cult is a peaceful organisation that wishes to coexist with Germany’s Christian majority - the group follows the ways of its Germanic pagan ancestors including ritualised sacrifices. However, it has been constantly hounded by imperial authorities who view it as a dangerous cult linked with the vitalist pagan-extremist terrorist group, the German National League. The Cult of Nerþuz, Wōdanaz, and Fullō also suffers from severe discrimination by the Christian majority due to the League’s terrorist acts as well as the cult’s pagan practices such as animal sacrifices and festivals.

Just some stuff from a Shared Worlds thread. TTL saw an Orthodox-wank, Catholicism having been butterflied away (in addition to there being a Byzanwank and a certain Briton monarch actually existing).

A Kievan ultra-Orthodox family. These fanatical practitioners of Orthodoxy view themselves as the "most faithful of the Church" and thus adhere to a code that they see as "untainted and pure Christianity". The men do not shave their facial hair, proudly growing beards in imitation of Christ and the Apostles. Women wear headscarves both as a symbol of faith and for purposes of modesty. The children are often homeschooled, though if available they are sent to church schools run by ultra-Orthodox priests.

Pictured above are Avarian members of the Bogomilist movement. Considered extreme even by most of their ultra-Orthodox kin, Bogomilism views the Church hierarchy as having turned its back on God; thus rejecting the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Pentarchy. Many have split off to form their own independent Churches, headed by unrecognised Patriarchs and Bishops.

Militant ultra-Orthodox movements have always been around since the Council of Nicaea, but in recent years have seen their numbers grow at a worrying pace - especially within the Orthodox areas of Khazaria. Above is a member of the ASALA, an Armenian Nationalist and ultra-Orthodox organization fighting for the creation of a "pious Armenian homeland". They claim that their people are being ethnically cleansed by Khazaria, oppressed by Persia and neglected by Rhomania. Their numbers have grown tenfold since the Kievan-Khazar riots of 2014.​
