Anyways, used NukeMap to simulate the effects of the nukings of Changsha, Kunming, and Haikou in the Great Asian War.

You used the settings for surface detonation. The three nuclear strikes on China were obviously airburst, since they were released from strategic bombers.
Hey. If some of you are interested, you can now vote in the Lithuanian elections of 1925 and show what you would have wanted Lithuania to end up as in that TL-defining election.
Anyways, what is East Slavia like politically? How democratic is it and is it under what we'd call a presidential, parliamentary, or semi-presidential system?
Followed by three pages of Chinese patriots arguing that the Shun could have taken on India and Japan at once and did so in this DBTL.
Personally I would say that India could have definitely taken on China during the War of the Danube, though it would have been a bloody fight.
So waiting until the invention of nukes and the conclusion of the war in the west was a misstep?
The misstep was to assume China will give in to Indian demands after nuclear strikes. The Indian high command overestimated the impact which nuclear bombardment would have on Chinese willingness to fight - and in a way, it achieved the complete opposite, as it became the rallying cry for the Chinese for much of the war.
And also to assume that the Western powers would not throw as much effort into the Great Asian War as they did. If it was one on one, India would have likely been able to eventually defeat China in 1960, much like it probably could have in 1940 (the former date, however, has the advantage of significantly less chance of Western intervention, since they would be busy in Central Europe at the time).
In short, India's primary failure was to assume that the rest of the world was a lot more careful and unwilling to make risks than they are.

Obvious. Revivalist Lithuania winning it's war (there could be mod to TTL HoI 4 called "Nauja Tvarka"),Imperialist Lithuania winning the Great European War(it could be ITTL equivalent to Kaiserreich), Samsa revolution not happening and Visegrad surviving.

I posted some of my thoughts of what a TSK "Kaiserreich" could look like here:

Not so much, it isn't even a monarchy. I see France as a altTSK equivalent to KR Austro-Hungary, Germany as a equivalent to KR Italy (as it would be as dismantled as Italy was) and Visegrad as KR Russia. I see Lithuania more like German Empire. And I don't get Samsa coming to power in the lost Visegrad, it would probably fall to some form of pan-slavic nationalist revanchism (it would be more like National Unitarianism than Samsite-Stalinist branch) with violence directed towards Jews, Romanis and Lithuanians. And I would rather see far-left succeeding in Britannia as a opposition to ultra-catholic regime.

Maybe it could involve a three-way Cold War between a radical/reactionary red-wing bloc, a victorious Unitarian Commonwealth, and a democratic bloc?

I saw the Cold War being between democratic bloc under Germania/reborn Visegrad and revivalist Lithuania.
I mean, the point of KR isn't really that Germany is a monarchy(though a big difference in the mod is that monarchy is more supported worldwide) but rather that it's the hegemonic power.
Really, though, canon TSK is its own version of Kaiserreich. In KRWWI the German Empire defeated the traditional world hegemon, the UK, to become the most powerful Empire in the world; here, Germania did just that to France and Lithuania. The dynamic, of a recently-crowned world hegemon, is the same. Really in terms of the dynamics of history any world where France wins would be Fuhrerreich.

I disagree. Whole point of KRTL is (in my opinion) to show people how world would develop if monarchies (with monarchs being in power) replaced republics and figurehead monarchies (like UK OTL). So ITTL Kaiserreich would be about Lithuania winning, as it was the strongest monarchy in TSK pre-war Europe.
