Since why not?

The * is used when it is another person (or, in this case, country) of the same name. Lets suppose, for example, in an ATL, South America becomes independant before North America, and the independant south american states decide to found the United States of America. Of course, that would be a different USA - it would be an *USA. The DoD USA may be radically different, but it IS still the same entity then our USA, just radically altered. But that sthe difference: You dont use the * on an altered entity, but on an entity that ha sthe same name as a different entity IOTL.

As stated elsewhere, I wouldn't mind living the life of a well-off Tang dynasty scholar, with a villa in Suzhou and a few concubines.

Or a contemporary middle-class Chinese in my "Superpower Empire" TL.
 
Perhaps...

- LA in the 1950's
- NY in the 1930's
- Sudwestafrika-Angola from A Healthy Baby Boy
- Hawaii in the 1960's

Yes, a wealthy merchant, during Augustus or one of the others where wealth was fairly safe from proscription. Maybe a procurator. I'd probably be Phil Silvers from "A Funny Thing Happened on my Way to the Forum"

*claps hands, "send in the new contingent of girl slaves from Gaul, I positively feel like a barbarian"

Id be the ruler of a great Empire encompassing all of Europe, most of Asia, and north and west Africa. :D My capital would be located in Rome. There would be a new religion, that none of us on this world know of. Id have this grand palace, a huge library, the miniature hanging gardens, a heated indoor swimming pools, Roman baths, a gym, the worlds most complete harem, with women from all over, all ethnicities.

I don't like the cultual aesthetics. The world in 2100 from GURPS Transhuman space seems much better to me. The world is still somewhat recognizable, its got better technolgoy and the US by then is more reasonable when it comes to "vices".
