It was said that there was Neo-Ottomanist sentiment in Turkey, has that translated in any way to bring the House of Osman back?
No, the army doesn’t want it’s power diluted.It was said that there was Neo-Ottomanist sentiment in Turkey, has that translated in any way to bring the House of Osman back?
Probably Botswana, considering even IOTL, diamond-mining is a major component of Botswana's economy.Where does the politically conscious westerner (just to pick a country, a Canadian) get their diamonds these days?
Implies the average person cares enough to bother look at where their stuff came from and will acknowledge the uncomfortable truth. Even in OTL most of us don't care what it took for our cheap goods & affordable gas came from.Where does the politically conscious westerner (just to pick a country, a Canadian) get their diamonds these days?
Do most countries treat the Bantustans as South African puppets and refuse to do business with them?
> A fundamentally democratic China with freedom to protest and gay rights with OTL South Korea living standards
> The CHAD Katanga
> Better global economy
> Imperial Federation
> Stable Middle East
> Good guy Israel
> Africain-Americans are better off than OTL
> The Fascists in Italy have chilled out
> No wacky Islamists
> Peaceful Afghanistan
> Ethiopian recovery
> M o o n B a s e
Overall, a bit closer to heaven
Although I think you're for the most part right about that, and it would definetly be very controversial, something like that could be a good criticism of both the Soviet and German regimes that still shows them as people. Stuff that pushes the line on what is and isn’t acceptable in regards to telling stories about these time periods and the people living under regimes like this. As stories criticizing them that are told from their perspective definetly exist in OTL (like JoJo rabbit), and although such a thing would no doubt be controversial it could still be extremely intresting and thought provoking.While playing as a Jewish Red Army soldier would be tragic given TTL's history, a Soviet campaign would be as likely as an Axis campaign would be IOTL: not happening.
I'm gonna say it. Mussolini completely destroying the Slovenes was a stupid evil moment on purpose to either make sure others in-timeline didn't doubt his strength or make sure we as the readers didn't get to like him to much. You needed him to do something evil with seemingly very little reason so as to make him more of a morally contested figure rather than a direct good thing for Italy.
@Sorairo if you don't mind I have a few more questions.
1. Is Gabon still an integral part of France ITTL? How has its annexation by the French affected its development and culture?
2. Does Turkey's identify lean more towards Europe or the Middle East ITTL?
3. How are modern relations between members of the ITO and of the CIS?
4. Do the United States and the UK still have a "special relationship" or did the Wallace presidency prevent that from happening?
Once again thank you for taking the time to write what's been an amazing timeline.
Oh, wow, that's really cool. Incredible job! How long did this take you? Secondly, there are exactly 40 less sovereign states (UN members specifically) than in our timeline, 143 compared to 193. Maybe geography classes are a bit easier in this timeline.View attachment 534201
While I try to figure out the issue with the infoboxes here are the flags of this world.
Yes, this is what quarentine does to one.
Edit: Anyone else going to be rereading this timeline in quarintine?

@PatrickMtz Superb work there!
What inspirations did you use for the countries that don't exist OTL?
Really shows all the variance in the world's flags.
