Threefold

Threefold Welcome to the main page for the Threefold timeline. In the Threefold timeline a reglious reformation in the mid-1970s caused a wide variety of changes to the world, most notably the dissolution of the United States of America into a series of independant nation-states. POD and Basis of World In the 1960s the neo-pagan relgion of Wicca spread across the Atlantic Ocean from the United Kingdom to the United States. In OTL this made little diffrence on the state of affairs in the U.S., but in Threefold the spread of Wicca to the United States caused the new relgion to grow larger very quickly, spreading around the globe, soon becoming on near-equal footing with Chirstianity, Judaism, and Islam in terms of size and reach in an event known as the 'Threefold.Reformation' As a result of this new relgion, religous tensions started rising, most of the monotheastic religions began to agree on one thing: Wicca was a threat, in responce to increasing discrimination and out and out attacks on their faith, Wiccans began demanding the right to practice their faith in peace. By the end of the 1960s the tensions had reached a boiling point, a series of holy wars known as the 'Heaven Wars' broke out across the globe, cented primarily on the Second American Civil War. By 1979, the Heaven Wars were over, and with them, the United States. The new nations included the New California Republic (OTL California), the Commonwealth of Greater San Francisco (OTL San Fransico Bay Area), the Nation of Deseret (OTL Utah), and the Matriarchy of Wicca (OTL Washington State and Oregon). while the remnants of the U.S. government are centered around the notheastern half of the contient excluding New England, which is its own nation-state. By present day, the former-U.S. now resembles the OTL Middle East, with religous tensions fueling geopoliticial strife and border conflicts, most espically between the Matriarchy of Wicca and the Nation of Deseret (see the conflict between Isreal and Pasilstian in OTL) Diffrences between ATL and OTL The changes the geopolitical face of North America had caused a series of ripple effects throughout the world The former states of Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and parts of Colorodo, Wyonming, and Montana are now virtually lawless, home a series of city-states and much smaller nations (i.e. the city-state of New Las Vegas) Kansas and most of the American MIdwest are now allied into a loose organization known as the 'People's Collective' a quasi-communist alliance Texas and Oklahoma have since merged to become the Second Republic of Texas The Soviet Union exists to this day, albeit with much less censorship and more political restictions Siberia broke off from the USSR during the Heaven Wars to form an independant Wicca/Communist state Isreal has expanded into parts of North Africa Almost immedietly after gaining its indpendance, a reglious coup took place in Utah, causing the establshment of a theocratic dictatorship based upon a warped verison of Mormanism
