The Union Forever: A TL

Welp, looks like the IEF's going to ring in the new year with chaos. I think we've finally hit the tipping point into outright civil war. With the assassination the security services are going to hugely overreact, and coupled with the cancellation of elections, the whole crisis is going to boil over. I can see conspiracy theorists down the line claiming that Mihoylev was assassinated in a false flag move by the Motherland party or even the Crown as a pretext to clamp down.

Question: is it still a conspiracy if it's widely believed?
 
Hopefully victims of Renkin's Disease not meet similar prejudice as OTL victims of AIDS.

Situation in IEF not looks good. Next year will probably be chaotic and violent for the empire.

Here I was thinking the Technocrats might have inspired it, just so they can throw the IEF into chaos and reclaim Manchuria, if not more.
 
The IEF is going to pull a Yugoslavia times 10, and it is not looking good for anyone

It seems that Goa is becoming a Indian Macau, and it is doing pretty well for itself.

At lest the legalisation and decriminalisation of marijuana is doing ok for itself. 31 states in 1999 compared to 19 states in OTL 2016, with some patchwork involved.

Arend Beulens seems like one of those ultra-Christian leaders that is going to cause trouble for Dutch and Belgian politicians due to his frankly ultra-religious views on everything, I think.

The Millennium Dam/OTL!Three Gorges is pretty much going to wreck the whole river system and history as it is being built, like it did in OTL.

What is Renkin's Disease named after? It is obviously named after someone named Renkin, and it is similar to OTL AIDS.

Mitya is only a shjrt version of the name Dmitry. So, Dmitry Kuznetsov, not Mitya
 
Looks like we have atl aids now. Hopefully nobody denies it exists for a decade. Speaking of which, this America seems more progressive than iotl, so what is the status of LGBTQ rights?

Any equivalent to y2k in this world?

Could we get a 2000 map? :p
 
After four days of sustained reading, I am caught up on this TL. Prop to you, Mac. Props to you.

And now, the question of the hour: can the IEF be salvaged?

Elizabeth, and the Monarchy, need to move now in telling the Motherland party to call elections and force a showdown and bring unity under the monarch, that is the only way to keep the whole thing together otherwise we will get Yugoslavia-Epic Edition.
 
Who is the military loyal to, in the end? The monarchy and the Federation, or is it loyal to party? (Granted, there will be some loyal to it, but I mean in general)
 
And if the Technocracy goes after Manchuria, what's to stop them from going after Mongolia, Uighurstan, Tibet, Jammu, Tuva, and even the parts of Central Asia and Siberia?

If the Technocracy intervenes in IEF territory, this might be the catalyst for a war between the Technocracies (and allies of convenience) vs the free (and mostly free) world.

What are those in that group? I know West Africa is friendly with them, and I think the Congo is as well. Are there any others that are associated/friendly with China?

I hope she forces her hand here.
