Progress, Decline, and Hope

An epic collaborative future history timeline started by Offtopic/Aero, begun in January 2011 and still ongoing as of July 2012. Progress, Decline, and Hope won in the 2012 Alternate_History/Turtledove Awards for Best New Collaborative Timeline, and finished a close second in the polling for Best Shared World. The timeline is made up of thousands of dates from 2011 onward, formatted both as individual contributions and ongoing series by members. While a good deal of the content is centered on events from an American point of view, collaborators have undertaken huge efforts to include the points of views of various other powers, most notably Britain, China, Europe, India, and Mexico. Several members have dedicated a considerable amount of time to filling in the blanks on issues such as culture, technology, space exploration, etc. Major contributors include (in order of number of posts): Offtopic/Ganesha, Offtopic/Aero, Offtopic/Koenig Von Poposia, Offtopic/o.a.musimon, jerseyrules, Offtopic/Arkhangelsk, Odysseus, theReturner, AYoungContrarian, Offtopic/Tony, President_Gore, d32123, Offtopic/Broader Liberty, undeadpixel, and Nanwe.

Notable features include: a leftward realignment of the American political system; Mexico cementing its status as a first world country; China's messy transition to democracy; a brutal and genocidal civil war in the DRC, which features massive foreign intervention; the rise of the African “Alliance for Democracy”, promoting the economic and social advancement of Africa; a growing separation between Northern Europe and Britain and the rest of Europe; a resurgence in constitutional neo-monarchism in several countries worldwide; a major political realignment and later reformation in India; limited human exploration of Mars and Venus; the discovery of complex but unintelligent extraterrestrial life on the planet Venus and the Jovian moon of Europa; and finally, the development of viable fusion power.
