Is there a nation in history that if it had not existed, we at ah.com would declare its history to be NEAR-ASB if someone wrote it up in a history? I'm thinking the UK or the USA, and NAZI Germany are good post-1900 examples (who could come up NAZI regime with all that it entails?! Such a racist ATL might not sit well and be disturbing). But what about pre-1900 nations? Either their rise or their fall.
