If Terry Pratchett (R.I.P) lived in the Union of Britain, what would the Discworld books be like? Or would he write completely different stories altogether?

During and after the Second American Civil War, it was noted that there was a strong LGBTQ sub-culture in the Combined Syndicates, which made it's way to cheap, mass produced 'pulp novels'. This tradition continued long after the CSA declared victory due to their popularity.

Promotional image of Westwood Studios real-time strategy game Trotsky Attacks! Or Roter Alarm! In Europe. The game’s tongue and cheek story take place in the modern day where Leon Trotsky, who had somehow survived the Russian Civil War, emerges from the north pole and invades Europe and North America. The player can choose to play as the Soviets whose campaign is centered around conquering mainland Europe, or play as the Allies and repel the Soviet occupation of Canada.

The game was praised for its mechanics requiring players to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the Allied and Soviet armies. in contrast of its contemporaries like Total Annihilation or Kriegsschiff II It is considered one of the greatest strategy games ever made. Its success has spawned two sequels and a remastering was announced by Westwood Studios in 2018.

I've been trying to think of different name for C&C that I could use in my timeline. I have a few ideas, tell me what you think.

Search and Destroy
Assemble and Annihilate
Locate and Liquidate
Take and Terminate
Direct and Dominate

Take and Terminate
Direct and Dominate
Search and Destroy sounds cool, but that would be more for a navy game.

STARLIGHT_BRIGADE.jpg


Starlight Brigade was an anime-inspired Pacific television series that ran from 1987-1995. The show follows Strive (center) a boy who strives to save his home from being consumed by the Endless Void which has been slowly sapping away life across the universe. When by chance a Void spaceship crashes nearby, he seizes the moment, goes into space, and encounters the Starlight Brigade, an order of warriors dedicated to defeating the Void with the power of friendship starlight and righting injustices along the way.

The show was created and animated by the Knights of the Light Table studio, which was one of the first homegrown anime studios in the Pacific States. The show is fondly remembered for its beautiful animation, iconic soundtrack, compelling story, and colorful cast of characters like Ninja Brian (far-left) Lord Phobos (center-left) Havve Hogan (center-back) Doctor Sung (center-right) and Commander Meouch (far-right)

The show’s success has spawned two spin-off sequels, six video games, one movie and an official band called Tupperware Remix Party (TWRP).

An anime-inspired show like this would be popular as well.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

The premise of this movie is about a field trip where Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man and his class at Midtown High, take a vacation from New York City, CSA and into Europe while getting into a hijinks with a mysterious man known as Mysterio, an supposed interdimensional being fighting the Elementals. While in Europe, he goes to numerous cities including Rome, Papal; Prague, Austria-Hungary (pictured above); Berlin, German Empire; Paris, Commune of France; and London, Union of Britain. It was another solid entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, if a bit formulaic, and served as an epilogue to Avengers: Endgame. It was noted for being a fun tour of the various empires and nations of Europe, though it was a rather "theme park-ish" take on it due to time constraints.

I take it that there's peace between the Internationale and the Reichspakt?

Alexa Davalos as Juliana Crain and Luke Kleintank as Joe Blake in the Torchbearer Streaming Union show City on a Hill, based on the novel of the same name by Philip K. Dick. Set in an alternate history where the American Union State won the Second Civil War, it tells the bleak story of an America divided between William Dudley Pelley’s AUS - an ally of Voynist Russia - in the East, a hypercapitalist, Japanese-allied Pacific States of America in the West, and a revanchist, resurgent Exile-dominated Anglo-Canadian Empire in the North. While the show has been criticised for the unlikeliness of its global scenario, it is considered to depict very well the sheer horror of a hypothetical victorious AUS where Pelley managed to usurp power from Long.

Silver Legion Major-General John Smith (Refus Sewell) burning films used to inspire the Resistance movement in Pelley's AUS. While undoubtedly the major antagonist of the series, critics and the audience alike have praised Sewell's portrayal of a sympathetic tragic villain, who while trying to protect his family from the cutthroat politics of the Legion dominated government, ends up loosing much of his humanity in the process.

Superstore (2016-2021) one of the most popular sitcoms recently made in the CSA. This hilarious sitcom is set in the St. Louis branch of a fictional workers-owned syndicate called 'Cloud 9', following the comedic misadventures of the union members who work there. The eclectic cast of misfits include the lovable and sarcastic Garrett McNeil (Colton Dunn), eager overachiever Mateo (Nico Santos), chirpy and constantly positive Union Representative Glenn Sturgis (Mark Mckinney), sweet and simple Cheyenne Thompson (Nichole Sakura) and no-nonsense Security Officer Dina Fox (Lauren Ash). Rounding off the main cast are the two more popular characters who had a long-running romance throughout the series: snarky but warm Amy Sosa (America Ferrera) and everyman Jonah Simms (Ben Feldman). The show concluded with the two of them getting married after Amy was promoted to Union Representative after Glenn retired to spend more time with his family and follow his dream of writing children's books.

The series quickly gained a cult following throughout the Internationale, with plans for a spin-off series involving Garrett heading up a new branch of Cloud 9 in Scotland.
