Talk:G9 (New Albion)

POD/Plausibility
Okay, I'm raising my hand here with a question, and I've raised it before elsewhere. The POD for this TL is 1581, correct? (If I'm wrong, ignore the rest.) But if so, then Stephen Harper, Romano Prodi, V. Putin, et al are entirely implausible choices for contemporary world leaders *there*. (Perhaps if the POD was 1981, some of these leaders may be in power, but surely not all, but most likely, none, even then.) In fact, to imagine that every world leader in this Alternate TL is exactly as they are in Ours is simply not plausible, possible or even desirable (and that's even true if they are 'simply in other political parties' as I've heard before about other TLs.) I hope they will change once this develops further. - Nhprman 01:29, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
