Seconded heartily. While the NK in GB treatment is more realistic, it's so common that I've grown sick of it, and the Party's word being true is a much darker approach. I approve of this work very much.
I kind of want to do a Oceania is Britain scenario... would anyone read it?
Great timeline , really interesting to see the scenario presented in this way, even if I do prefer Britain Alone interpretations of 1984. I personally have problems with the whole "The Threeist world" will last for ever but I guess that wouldn't really fit Orwell's work.

One of the most enjoyable things I have read in awhile. If watching the world degrade into an Orwellian hell is enjoyable. Good job.
You people are too kind for something which the last five pages (basically the last section plus some stuff on Oceanian currency) were written the night before it was due.
Now if somebody would read my other stuff.

Well, I didn't see a way for Britain to go socialist, and Fascism is very socialist economically. I thought that Fascism was the only logical route.
Here's my map of the scenario.
Amazing. My highest thanks for a bloody good job.
Thank you very much
You've actually given me a few ideas for mine with this for the futureDamnit, you stole the same idea I had been planning and procrastinating for the better part of a year. Nice work though. It's probably for the best, since I'm woefully unlearned in Anglo-American PoDs. However so as to not let my work go to waste, I will still post my own studies of Eastasia and to a lesser extent Eurasia, which will unfortunately have to contradict your account, eps. in the case of the former superstate) when they are finished.
I wonder if your teacher is thinking "holy shit this guy is a genius", "holy shit I have to read 55 pages of fanwankery", or a combination of the two.

I got a hundred on it, so I think she likes it. She sounded interested during the presentation.
I wanted a PoD not too far from the original publishing of the novel (1948), and the need to create three blocs did not permit any way to make Britain or, perhaps even more importantly, the USA go socialist. It would also have made a justification for war with Eurasia be much harder.
