Whatever did happen to Nelson Mandela ITTL? From the looks of it, it seems he died a tragic death early on here with him never being mentioned in the general writeups.

I think this was asked before but I forgot your answer. What happened to Featherston’s body?
Do sitcoms still exist ITTL?
What became of Ray Kroc ITTL?
For President La Follete's sake, let's hope McCarthy never takes power (reference to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._La_Follette_Jr.#Personal_life_and_death (Harry did confirm that Charles was based on the otl son of Robert M. La Follette: Robert Jr. )).What happened to Joe McCarthy ITTL? I don't think he is ever mentioned in the books.
After reading that Wikipedia link ... yeah, McCarthy sucks for that. I'd be happy if his existence was butterflied ITTL.For President La Follete's sake, let's hope McCarthy never takes power (reference to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._La_Follette_Jr.#Personal_life_and_death (Harry did confirm that Charles was based on the otl son of Robert M.

If so, what type of food could you say fills the niche of instant ramen ITL, i.e., something cheap which could be stored unrefrigerated and that could be prepared instantly?
When it's all about entertainment again: Starting with ABBA, Sweden was the biggest non-Anglophone pop music exporter in the latter half of the 20th century. And nowadays, it looks like (South) Korea has become this for the early 21st century. Which countries ITTL fulfill a similar role as let's say second-tier pop-cultural powerhouses? Their styles will likely be unrecognizable enough (especially due to the Southron Holocaust as you already said) that I'd be amazed if you dare to create it.
It is not discussed often, but Italy should be a pop-culture juggernaut in TTL. Since Italy didn’t join either Great War, Italys film and music industry would have remained intact. It is also a richer / larger country than OTL and it would be a “neutral” alternative to American or German “cultural imperialism” by other countries.
On that note, does the EC have an equivalent of the Schengen Agreement?By 2023, the Italian Empire is influential in several cultural fields, such as cinema, music, and high fashion, especially in the wider European Community.

David has stated that fashion is generally more formal and utilitarian compared to our world, with some popular fashion trends taking cues from military designs.Hey @David bar Elias I have two weird questions to ask:
- What is fashion like in this world? I get the impression that it’s more conservative than our world, and even heard you say that hats didn’t go out of style until the early 1970s. If so, what are the closest equivalents of TTL’s fashion in OTL?
- What is slang like in this world? With African-Americans (with the exception of Afro-Caribbeans) killed off by the Confedracy, virtually none of OTL’s slang would develop. I would guess that TTL’s slang originates from Italians, Serbs, Croats, Russians, Ukrainians, Mexicans, Brazilians, and Afro-Caribbeans. I would also guess that rather than rich white people (or their equivalents in TL-191) idolizing Black American gangs or the hood, they would idolize the mafia (be it the Italian, Irish, or Russian variety) or anything similar to the mafia from our world.
