What if Peter the Great has all his focus on the South against Crimean Tatars and Ottoman Empire and start building his St Petersburg at the site of Rostw,in this ATL he doesn't join the Great Northern War.
With the Capital at Rostow Russia keeps Focus on Ottoman Empire Persia and Central Asia.
IMO Sweden could be longer powerfull in altic Region
Perhaps a more stable Poland_Lithuania
Earlier decline Ottoman Empire.
Any suggestions
