So the author of this non-canon illustration decided to go full-blown FPÖ. Well, actually worse to be honest. This also shows that we cannot really divorce ourselves from what we know from our own world. And the author rather thinks of 1999 FPÖ than 2019 FPÖ terms which means an Ibizagate is out of question for the moment. Even though Ibiza belongs to Spain, actually.

There's a simple solution to the problems pointed out by the Atlantic Dollar by posters. Simply have the "Atlantic Dollar" be the renamed US dollar but only when the US dollar is used in other countries (so they sign a treaty and in the treaty they define the Atlantic Dollar as being the currency of the United States, so even if the US decided to change the name of their currency to the Roosevelts, it would still be "Atlantic Dollars" when used in Canada or the United Kingdom). Thus it becomes a fiction of a common currency (as opposed to outright dollarization) in order to make it more palatable to other members and would be like the Latin Monetary Union in being based on the strongest currency of the union (the French gold franc in the case of the LMU).
That only makes the American dominance of it worse. With a currency union you can at least have non-American say in the central bank.
Do you remember the Toyotomi Japan and Viva California timelines at the Alternate History Wikia? Their beauty is all about North America having no space filling empires in the end.
Yeah I see what you mean. It's a controversial opinion but i think that most to almost all PODs in the 20th century or later will do nothing to prevent the rise of the USA. Geography and such is just too much to their advantage, and it constrains alternate history possibilities with late PODs to a certain extent.
What's that? Germany won WW1? Well they get to have some fun being the biggest economy in the world an... oh, America's just overtaken them with their huge population, resources and industry. The axis want to win WW2 now? Well they defeat the soviets, take over europe and much of east asia and... get bombed to shit by tens of thousands of American bombers, and... oh look we have America dropping nukes now 5 years before anyone else will get them (that's why I got Britain out of the war early and kept the US out for TWR).
With an earlier POD, preventing a powerful single North American state having control over a large area as well as its vast resources, such as the great plains, would certainly shake up 20th century history.
With a 20th century POD, you can probably prevent the USA being as close to a hegemon as it has been for the later half of the 20th century, but stopping the USA from being the strongest Great Power is something else.
Even in a CP victory the US would immediately be wealthier, the US’ gdp was twice Germany’s before WW1, and it can only grow faster since it won’t enter the war
Perhaps. That's something I thought of, but it'd have to mean I go through every single country.
Hey, just a suggestion. What is the GDP of the top 10 nations, at least?
Also, in Israel-Palestine, how much of the population is Jewish?
Sorry about the unsatisfactory answers, but I honestly don't know. I'd assume they number at least a couple of million, but i'm not sure about these things.
As for the GDP stuff, top 10 on the world sounds alright, i'll probably do it.
Sorry dude, I'm not good at estimating demographics so long term. What do you think?
There would be less ashkenazim and their descendant, that's for sure, you can already remove a good part of the immigration from the Alya Beth , you can also remove the million+ of jews from the soviet union that emigrated between the 70s and the 2000s, since they would be dead ITTL. The mizrahim would be similar in number, as well as i guess the north african ones (who would likely only leave during decolonization slightly after the collapse of vichy france).
Not sure about how many arab palestinians there would be, it seems sectarian relations would be better and the confederal nature, at least by the 50s/60s would make them feel like they belong in their own, proper state i guess, i have no idea how it could evolve tho. But very likely there would be less emigration of palestinians (particularly the smaller number of christians), on the other hand they may have a higher quality of life which may decrease the natural growth, this would be particularly important in what would be IRL the gaza strip which would be less populated, but i think what is our west bank would be as populated if not more.
I don't see the jews making a larger % of the total population of Israel-Palestine compared to IRL.
