Darfur and the New Union
In geopolitics certain theories suggest that the collapse of the USSR in real life was the cause for the subsequent instability in the periphery and beyond, that is the former SSRs, former Soviet allies, and allies of said allies. The collapse of the USSR had many ripple effects, including the destabilizing of Afghanistan and it becoming a safe haven for Al Qaeda. The border region of the USSR hasnt fallen aapart in your timeline because the USSR itself hasn't; but Africa could still serve as a safe haven for Al Qaeda. It has all the instability of Afghanistan, along with Islamist movements that would support the terrorist organization; im sure Gadaffi might be on the side of Al Qaeda or some similar organization.

Now, my proposal was that the Afghan Mujahadeen that fought against the soviets merge with an organization in the Sudan instead of forming Al Qaeda. This hypothetical organization uses a more race oriented ideology to appeal to the genocidal Sudanese and Rwandan governments and the people, who then attack some symbol of America's belief in equality, in hopes of galvanizing their movement further. This leads the US to move into Sudan and Rwanda, maybe Libya, due to their former WMD programs. I could see this turning into a fight against racism, which would probably garner more long term international support for the US. I could see, since this would threaten Ethiopia, drawing them in, and consequently the Soviets. Tell me what you think. Gatemonger 02:22, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I read your comments on my profile, and I'm gladly suprised you liked my idea that much! My Darfur idea is an attempt to explore the long term consequences of the USSR surviving. I can see you know a lot about what you are writing, and I'm sure that you can tell that a world with two superpowers is going to cause international players to act differently, including and especially the US. Two superpowers can live in peace, but must be careful not to cross one another's paths. It is my idea, but it's your timeline. All I want to do is give basic inspiration. So what ideas did you have for the timeline? Do you have a plan on what you are going to write? 173.78.75.200 23:08, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Map
Hey, Nuc. Your maps are very real, and I would like to ask you if you could do a new map of Italy for my timeline, Triunfa, España!. So I want for you to make an atlas of Italy similar to the one you made for my timeline, Bolivar's Dream or the one for the Republic of Alaskan Oblasts on the Russian America Expansion timeline. Please use names in both English and Italian. If you can do it, ask me for the capitals of each region. And please, if you think any other cities other than the capitals should be added, please ask me!. The map is the cluttered Italian map that is at the right of this post. Thank you! :) Fedelede 01:43, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

 * Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very very amazing!!!!! I'm very happy!!!! :D Thanks, thanks very much Nuc!! your work as everytime is excellent!! The only things that could be changed are Peru and Bolivia, because Vene and me could unite those countries in one: Tawantisuyo Republic. And the Falklands Islands, that i'm thinking in the possibilities to annex to Chile. Once again, thanks very much Nuc!!!!!!!! :D PS: in the map seems there a mistake in border of Los Rios Region --Katholico 02:33, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Are just ideas, no official yet. I'm glad that you like the idea of Peru-bolivia. With Vene, we need talk about that. The Falklands is only one of my ideas XD Currently in the timeline, belong to United Kingdom, but i'm thinking the possibilities of Chile or Argentina buy the islands during the 1970's-80 or after the defeat of England in WW2 (but also in this case, if Argentina buy the islands, Chile could annex one or two islands in the War of Patagonia). Anyway, just only ideas xD Thanks Nuc!!! --Katholico 03:56, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Rather than uploading two copies of the same flag, it makes more sense to just change the reference for one article to the flag you want, that way it doesn't use up unnecessary space on the servers.Oerwinde 19:32, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hawaii (Two Americas), among other things
I am presently at work on the Two America articles ("up to date" on the modern CSA presidents, pending a decision on the president-elect). I am thinking of doing a little work on the US presidents as well, and was wondering what the present status of Hawaii is. If it remained a kingdom (the chief proponents for annexation were Confederates) then Barack Obama would be Hawaiian by birth (if we don't move his mother and father to a US state university, that is). I see no problem adjusting Ann Dunham to remaining in the US (Berkley, CA, for instance) and even B. Obama, Sr. himself meeting her there).

I have looked for your posts on this and haven't found them, but if you can build a chart of the "35 US states" it would be helpful in fleshing out the story as it now stands. I am presently looking at the "problem" of Kentucky and Missouri, both of which effect the development of US policy under U.S. Grant. Western expansion into the Indian Territories is usually considered to originate in St. Louis, for instance.

As for Kentucky, we have to adjust the western campaign to reflect Confederate wins there so that the state can join the CSA in 1864 (mid-war), otherwise, the Confederate government there will be ineffective. If I remember right, the border states remained in question until the Treaty of London anyway, but the war would have had to have gone better in them for the CS to end up being ceded to them.

New Article: States of the United States
Hi, Nuke, I've made a page based on your list of USA states in TwoAm. All I need to do now is divide Arizona and New Mexico of OTL at the 34th parallel and get some measurements and population figures. It looks like your figures for the CSA "Arizona" are those of OTL Arizona. The states are close in size, so the approximate area will be around 117,000 square miles for each.

Looking at the population maps for the southern regions, OTL Arizona has almost all of its population below the 34th parallel. New Mexico in OTL seems concentrated in the north, with a moderate population in the far south. Adjustments to these two states might be as easy as estimating based on the population density maps -- giving approximate populations to the North/South versions very close to the East/West versions forced on the area by the US in OTL.

Alaska in GWS
I wanted to pick your brain on what Alaska is like in the Great White South universe. Recently an anon created an article for the TL. Problem was it was almost deleted due to violating canon and being really implausible (apparently Alaska colonized a part of Antarctice, go figure). I believe it was you who suggested that Alaska would be independent in this TL, do you have any ideas about it's history? Mitro 17:21, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Colombia RA
Hi Nuc! Yes, i'm fine, i'm enjoying my vacations in Santiago de Chile :P. Well, i add only 1 category because i'm not sure if you would change the idea about the countries later. But now that you ask me about this, the idea could be possible. Simon Bolivar liberates northern South America, but also in Peru and Bolivia he was ruler and completes the independence of those countries after Jose de San Martin back to Argentina. Maybe Bolivar could make succesful and unites this territories, despite the opposition of some factions in Peru. This my opinion and suggestion. I hope that this can help to you. Just tell me if need other help. Regards! :) -- Katholico 21:37, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome :) Yes, sound right and the borders seems correct. About the Acre zone, in OTL Bolivia and Brasil fight for the region in the Acre War (1899–1903). in ATL, if negotiations between Colombia and Brazil fail, so the war could be a option. This i think. By the way, what is the situation of the others south American countries (including guyanas)? Regards! --Katholico 21:24, February 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see. Paraguay anexed by Argentina could be. Well, if you want to know, recently i read more about the years 1830 - 1850 in South America, and I have found out 2 interesting things. In 1835, in the middle of the long argentinian civil wars the provinces of Cuyo (San Luis, Mendoza and San Juan) in Argentina attempt join to Chile. This territories originally belong to Captaincy General of Chile until the seccesion of 1776, when pass to control to the new Rio de la Plata viceroyalty. In the 1830's the long distance between Cuyo the capital Buenos Aires, were one of the reasons for this attempt of secession, besides the chaos that produced the civil war in the central provinces of Argentina. in OTL Chile refuse this offer because the country was in the middle of a conflict with Peru-Bolivia and Argentina was a allied in this. But if Chile see that cannot expand to north, so the country could move to other side, i think. The other thing, is that Argentina was divided in 2 during almost 10 years: Buenos Aires State and Argentina Confederation. The war during between 1852 - 1862, and end with the, with the Victory of Buenos Aires and the unification of Argentina. But if the war end on a stalemate? Well this are two ideas that you can use or not in the timeline if you want. In the spanish wiki i try work with this interesting ideas :) I hope can be useful for you althistory. Regards!!! --Katholico 18:41, February 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, i was very sorpresing when read about this attempt of union of Cuyo to Chile. Ohh, about argentina i'm sorry, i don't explain very well because my english jeje ^^U. Well, i want to say that Argentina could be divided into 2 separated nations. Argentina suffer something similar to US Civil War with USA and CSA in 1850's but with several differences. In this case, the State of Buenos Aires separtes from the Argentine Confederation. In OTL, at the end Buenos Aires won and unite the country as one nation. BUT, i thinking in the possibility that this civil war end without one winner, and after 10 years of war, the two sides they agree in remaining separated as two nations. I Don't know if i explain better now. jeje --Katholico 22:34, February 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand perfectly :) just is a idea :P besides i hope work in this later. About the Chile, the country should move to south more faster than OTL, with the Pacification of Araucanía, and the colonization of south with the arrive of european population. If need more help or ideas just let me know :) Regards! --Katholico 23:00, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Jejeje Like others ideas of alternate histories, and as chilean is very interesting explores the possibility that what might have happened if my country look the Patagonia instead of the north. Chile lost the Patagonia in OTL because the north with his mining resources offer more than the patagonia... in the XIX Century. :) I also ask as will turn out this. Maybe between 1835 and 1860 is the best scenario for the expansion attempts of Chile, because by this time in Argentina in OTL ocurrs the principal internal conflicts.

Two Americas
An anon just made a page called "Russian Federation (Two Americas)" and its basically a copy of similar anon creations on your timelines. I've added the deletion template, if nothing else because your Russia links lead to a "Russia" article, and I know you didn't make it. Lordganon 19:19, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

I have replaced the Delete template with a Proposal template for now, after changing the "Description" which didn't make much sense. I also sent LG a message and left a message on the new talk page for the "Russia" article. We can delete it if you want, but I felt since the invitation for proposals is still on the Two Am portal page, we can at least leave a "place holder" page up. SouthWriter 20:03, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

It appears that the creator of the rogue article is back. It is probably time for us to protect the article so that only an administrator - which we both are - can change it.

Antarctica in 1830
Just saw the new map for Antarctica in 1830, and I thought I'd let you know that I was wrong about Spanish Antarctica. When Antarctica was discovered (1820), Argentina was already independent and Chile was in the middle of its War of Independence; so I don't think the Spanish would be able to get any Antarctic colonies at all. Based on the article, the Spanish areas would belong to Britain instead.

Other than that, the map looks fine; and it's great to see all this renewed interest in the Great White South again! - Mister Sheen 10:43, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Ross Oblast
Yeah, the adjective "росский/росская" is fine here.

Not sure if it was a good idea to name the second-level subidivision "область" though. In the Russian Empire "область" and "губерния" were on the same level, with "область" usually meaning a "more wild" and "less civilized" territory than a "губерния". In other words, "губерния" was something like a Canadian province, while "область" was something like a Canadian territory. It's a bit difficult for me to imagine how "область" could become perceived as губерния's subdivision. Wouldn't it be better to call the second-level subdivisions "уезд", like they were called in the Russian Empire? — Hellerick 04:44, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Heller is right that they were generally in the more wild areas of the country, but wikipedia specifically says that they were "were included as parts of Governorates General," which are the Governorates the Russian Empire was divided into. Alaska being a more wild area, it would have these in abundance. Makes sense. Lordganon 04:52, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Governorate General (генерал-губернаторство) ≠ Governorate (губерния). Governorate General was a group of governorates and oblasts with a single administrative authority over them. Alaska in whole could be a governorate general, but it could not consist of them. — Hellerick 04:40, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Nuke, I was just looking at the article, and I was wondering if you had any ideas about the People's Republic of Aleksandria (the former occupier of one of the states), because unless you already have something worked out, I have a few ideas for it. - Mister Sheen 13:32, June 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah alright then, I hadn't really thought of much anyway (just that it could be a Soviet-influenced state, similar to Cuba). I'm interested to see everything you've got planned for the timeline, anyway. - Mister Sheen 16:26, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Russian America: Acadia/Maritimes Union
I don't know if you've started going into any detail about that particular region/nation but if you haven't I'd like to see if I could come up with something Verence71 19:00, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Labrador - the Brits put it under Newfoundland after they secured it from the French in 1763. Atl, that likely would not change. Settlement by non-French, who have always been the majority of the non-natives there, as well as the natives, would likely be in favor of such a movement. As an fyi. ;) Lordganon 05:46, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

The first thing I'd like to ask is when will have Canada split?? I ask cos both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick gained some form of responsible government in 1848. If the split happens after then I would imagine that discussion as to a form of government for Acadia wouldn't take as long as it would if the split happened before that date Verence71 14:19, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

I like the look of your proposed flag for Acadia but perhaps to show it's connection to Britain it could have the Union Jack in the top left-hand corner like the current flags of Australia New Zealand do.

I can see the case for Cape Breton and Bermuda becoming part of the union but what other territories might apply to join?? Verence71 14:31, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

So Acadia would have a series of territories/provinces off the the Atlantic coast of the US?? I can't imagine that going down too well in Washington DC (or whatever the US capital is in this AH) Verence71 16:01, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Russian America: Labrador Seperatists
I would think that the Labs would want to seperate from the Republic Of Canada/Quebec for the same reasons that some Quebecois want to leave Canada. To paraphrase from Wikipedia:

''Supporters of sovereignty for Labrador believe that the current relationship between Labrador and the rest of Quebec does not reflect Labrador's social, political and economic development. Moreover, many subscribe to the notion that without appropriately recognizing that the people of Labrador are culturally distinct, Labrador will remain chronically disadvantaged in favour of the Quebecois majority.''

Similarly to Quebec the vast and overwhelmingly majority of Labrador seperatists would work throught the parliamentary system whereas a handful would advocate violent means Verence71 14:39, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

I would imagine that when/if the Dominions of Borealia and Acadia gain more and more indepence like OTL's Canada then the Labs would be more and more annoyed at being ruled by RoC/Quebec independence movements/parties would develop as happened in the African colonies of the various European states in the 50s and 60s Verence71 11:01, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Korea in Two Americas
I think I may make a proposal for Korea. In the Two Americas timeline, the Koreans burn the US ship General Sherman. The French get a punitive expedition to no fail. However, the Koreans again burn a Confederate-registered ship, and that had enough cassus belli for the Confeds to invade Korea. Korea at the end of the 19th century was divided into two: the pro-Western Korean Empire at the South, sponsored by the CS, Britain, and France, and the pro-Chinese Korean Kingdom. At the end of World War I, the South Koreans re-united the peninsula, but had to face the Japanese in World War II. The Allies promised to free Korea and liberated all of the peninsula. Korea had to be more militarized because the Chinese Communists are on the northern side of the Yalu.

Good idea, so far?

Could you make a world map for my Dae Han Jeguk Timeline?

The world would be the same as OTL except on:

A United Korea

A surviving Manchukuo

Finland will have OTL borders, but during the interwar period, it had territory just like this. []. Later, Soviet Karelia became an independent ex-Soviet Republic.

A divided Xinjiang, west and east. The East is the Dzungarian Autonomous Region of China.

Independent Tibet, but the borders are those defined by the Republic of China. Qamdo area is part of the PRC.

Chechnya, Tannu Tuva, Karakalpakstan, a Gypsy state in eastern part of Chernovtsy Oblast of the Ukraine, and an independent Sakhalin.

That's all I request.

Soviet republics license plates
I see you're interested in disinging license plate for the Soviet republics. Giving each republic its own lecense plate pattern and numbering system doesn't seem plausible due to the republics being so different in size. Most likely the soviet number system would be countinued, thus more equally distrubiting the license plate codes and avoiding the problem of "plate-sakes" from different republics. As for pleasing the nationalist spirit, there was an interesting license plate series in Tatarstan during the transitional period (you can see its example here). These license plates were made according to the standard soviet numbering system, but included the flag of the autonomous republic (even though the rigion code "TT" already stated that it belonged to Tatarstan). I think similar system would be used in your ATL. — Hellerick 13:18, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, your new license plate looks pretty good. And now it seems somewhat similar to OTL's license plates of the EU, which is "ideologically" good as well. Maybe the sticker could look more noticeable and "obviously Soviet", so it could be used as both registration mark and to represent the country of origin. Not everyone in the world is supposed to know how the flags of the Soviet republics look like, but seeing the sticker would help to recognize the car as one from the Soviet Union.
 * The only thing I dislike is the font. While letters are okay, the digits are too obviously "not license-plate-like" — Hellerick [[Image:Flag of Divnogorsk.svg|20px]] 11:36, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the font is nearly perfect now.
 * I'm not sure about the sticker. There were no stickers used in the Soviet Union, and still most ex-Soviet countries still don't have them. Truth be told I'm not even sure what is their purpose.
 * Maybe it would be better just to type "USSR" or something in that corner? — Hellerick [[Image:Flag of Divnogorsk.svg|20px]] 11:19, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well since there already was a rather pointless switch from white-on-black license plates to black-on-white ones in 1980, I think it's pretty plausible that for some reason it would be decided to switch to red-on-white as well.
 * BTW, have you seen my Soviet of the Union seating chart? Is it okay? — Hellerick [[Image:Flag of Divnogorsk.svg|20px]] 03:15, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

1915 Map
Hey Nuke, I was wondering if you could make a version of this map, except without including modern borders or lines of latitude/longitude. - Mister Sheen 12:58, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well I'm working on this for Great White South (the page is a horrible mess right now, sorry about that); and I'd like to get maps of Antarctica in 1917, 1919 and 1926 for the infobox. I think the 1917 map would be identical to the 1915 map in terms of borders (the only difference is that New Swabia would belong to Britain in 1917), so that's why I asked. - Mister Sheen 17:58, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Che
Sorry for a late answer.

No, "Ческая губерния" can't be a correct term. Not even sure why, it's just such a short indeclinable word can't be used for normal word-derivation in Russian. If there were a "Gobernación de Che" in a certain Latin American country, it would be translated as "Губерния Че". But I'm not sure if that would be a Russian name for the territory if it were located in a Russian-dominated country — probably a more "Russian-adapted" name would be chosen.

I can suggest several variants:


 * 1. To use Che's last name as well: "Чегеварская губерния"
 * 2. To include the Russian word "город" ("city"). It seems likely, because the name of the city (Че) is kinda clumsy in Russian as well, and most likely is always used with a clarifying word ("Город Че", just like the Spanish name most likely is always used as "Ciudad de Che"). Thus the adjective can include the word "город" which de facto becomes a part of the city name: "Чегородский" (compare with "Архангелогородский", one of the adjectives for the city of Arkhangelsk).
 * 3. During the Soviet rule there were developed pretty weird naming patterns. Thus some place names started in words like "пямяти" (lit. "of the memory of") or "имени" ("of the name of"). E.g. I live close to a village named "Памяти тринадцати борцов" (lit. "(Village) Of the Memory of the Thirteen Fighters"; I have no idea who the Thirteen Fighters are though). I guess something like thus could be used for Che as well, Russian (or rather a Soviet) names thus could be "(город) Имени Че" and "Губерния имени Че".

I get why Eduarda and New Devon are united, as the British Antarctic dominions weren't formed until the 1920s; but as New Vestfold is an Australian territory (and according to it was founded in 1850), shouldn't it be separate from the other British regions? - Mister Sheen 10:12, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

Antarctic Map Game
Hey, Nuke, I was thinking about this for a while now. It's unfortunate that more people didn't get to experience the fun of GWS, me included (I came 2 years late :P), and I was wondering if it would be okay for the wiki to have a map game on the colonization of a "green" Antarctica. Of course it would not follow the traditional GWS route, it would be an alternative, with decisions made by the participants (just like most map games).

Don't worry, I haven't started anything yet, I felt I owe it to ask you if we could do it or not, I'd never do that without your permission. Of course you can always object to the idea and I'll let it go. Regards, ChrisL123 21:30, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Karelia (New Union)
I think that can be very plausible. I do imagine the revival being more like all Karelians and Finns improving their cultural pride within the republic, making Finnish/Karelian a co-official language (instead of the minority language status I think it has in OTL) and eventually maybe having Russians and other peoples of the USSR within the republic learn Karelian as a second language, if you want the Karelian revival being drawn-out in order for the Karelian SSR being actually the Karelian SSR. Fed (talk) 16:50, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that sounds nice and plausible. However, I'd think that the Finnish-Russian language boundary would be more or less close to this, with Petroskoi being outside of the boundary. That would leave something closer to the 1926 ethnic census; with Slavic people forming ~57.7% of the population and Karelians/Finns and Veps forming ~41.5% of the population. Maybe the Saint Petersburg Compromise will leave that territory (and maybe Vepsland) as Karelia and the rest would remain as the Karelian Oblast in Russia or something? It's just an idea I had, it's not even really good, lol, but would split Karelia among more ethno-linguistic ideas. The capital could be Uhtua/Kalevala (former capital of the East Karelian independentists) or Aunus (in OTL the only city with a Karelian majority).

As for your proposal, yes, I'd love to help you with the Karelian aspects. Fed (talk) 22:59, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

That does have sense. I especially like the restoring of West Karelia to Karelia. Fed (talk) 02:27, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

1.	You said this was an open timeline. When I added my contribution (United Democracies), I was following that rule. If you said this was an open timeline, why did you just block me then? All I was just doing is following the rules.

2.	After the U.S. article incident, you said that the content had links that made it look back. If you said that, why did you do it for my edit? (I know that I wasn’t suppose to get stuff from Wikipedia, but after I read your comments, I thought you ment you allowed it, so I got confused.)

Also, can you also unlock the pages (Soviet Union, Talk:New Union, etc.) you locked before? I promise no more vandalism.

Sergei Gavrilov
Hope I haven't overstepped my bounds here, but I started an article for. I know he was your creation, so naturally I haven't written anything on his biography, and I've tried not to add anything that you didn't already write on another article (eg. the article). If I've got anything wrong, I'll change it right away; I just wanted to codify his personal timeline (ie. what positions he held, and when he held them). - Mister Sheen 15:25, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

I wonder if you would be interested in being nominated to the rank of Brass in the TSPTF, and if so, I’m sure that there are a whole boatload of people who would be willing to nominate you for me. If so, please respond. Thanks, PitaKang- (Talk | Contribs) 22:03, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Mapmaking
Hey, Nuke, sorry to bother you. I recently came up on the map to the side and I was wondering how you placed the borders over it? I'm trying to make a similar map but with Indochina for AvA(r) but I just can't do it. Any help would be great. ChrisL123 00:39, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Opinion about Colombia (RA)
Hi Nuc! Yes, i'm fine :) About Colombia, your work looks prett ay good. The territorial division is completely logic for me, specially in the case of New Granada, which historically has had problems with the interior provinces (Amazonas). For the Bolivians limits, are basically like I was imagining them. And I liked the flags, in special the national. I congratulate for your amazing work! Just a minor question, I noticed that you became Colombia into an Confederation (if i understand well the concept, in an confederation the state-members have more "autonomy" than a federal system, no?). If need some help just let me know, Regards!!! :D --Katholico 19:11, October 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that the number of states is perfect. :)
 * Yes, you said it well :P
 * Oh, i understand now, thanks very much for the explanation! :)
 * By the way, i'm writing in the spanish wikia an timeline, which include some ideas from timelines from here, including yours. jeje ^^U I hope don't mind. Regards! --Katholico 02:55, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Timelines like Two Americas or Russian America (Alaska don't sell to the US, CSA gain his independence, etc). jeje Are great ATLs!!! :D
 * About the chile-argentina issue, I must be honest, i really liked the idea xD Jejeje If you allow me, here is my initial opinion for this.
 * The "unification process" combine the diplomacy and the war, necessarily. First, according to what we talk some time ago, the Cuyo provinces join to Chile due to the civil wars. Later, following the Cuyo's example, other argentinian interior provinces like Salta, Catamarca, La Rioja (located more close to the chilean ports rather than Buenos Aires) decided to begin negotiations to join pacifically to Chile. Obviously, this probably begin to bring problems with the Argentine government (when the civil war ended). The situation could be similar to the US-Mexico problems, and maybe if an province decide leave the Confederation and join Chile (to the Texas-style), so, a war could begin. Eventually, probably several years later, i think that Argentina should be reduced to only Buenos Aires state. In this situation, surrounded by big countries, the Argentina accept join Chile and complete the "unification".
 * Also, in order to this works, i think that Chilean politics should suffer some changes during the XIX century. Chile traditionally is a unitary state, however i think that major expansion in this ATL should move to the country give more autonomy to the provinces, as a early "regionalism". Probably during the Liberal Republic period this might happen, lead by men like Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna (liberal) and Pedro León Gallo (Radical) if they get to government. In short, this is. I would be glad to help to you in this if you need it. Regards! ps: Probably the Chilean-Confederation War in 1837 never happen; the war begun because the OTL Peru-Bolivian Confederation under Santa Cruz's leadership try to "recreate" the Incan Empire (which include chilean and argentinian territories as we know). --Katholico 00:46, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Queen Charlotte Islands
No, "Королева-Шарлоттинская" can't be a Russian word, and truth be told I don't understand how you could come up with it using Prince Edward Island as the example. In theory it should have been "Королевошарлоттинская", but nobody would say it this way. I guess a simple "Шарлоттинская губерния" would be okay. — Hellerick 04:56, October 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Принц-эдуардский" is possible because it repeats the English wording. It is not translation or transcription of the English term, it's something in between; the English words are replaced with their direct Russian counterparts, kinda adapted for Russian orthography/pronunciation: Prince=Принц, Edward=Эдуард. While "Королева" is translation of "Queen", it is not its direct counterpart, it's perceived as another word. "Куин-Шарлоттская" would be okay if it were a foreign place name, but I guess it would not be wise to used it for a Russian-speaking territory. — Hellerick [[Image:Flag of Divnogorsk.svg|20px]] 05:20, October 23, 2011 (UTC)

Borealia in RA
Hey, Nuke. I stumbled onto your atlas of Borealia and I just wanted to mention something. See, I've just learned about early Canadian history (1860s-1890s; I'm in grade 9 now, so) and I just wanted to mention something concerning the provinces. Most of them are perfectly reasonable, except for Manitoba.

The only reason Manitoba was called Manitoba because of ; he lead the, that was caused by the original going and what the  called "invading" the newly annexed  by surveying the land. Long story short, this upset the Metis, they made their own provincial government, the Ontarians weren't happy with that, and they made war. The Canadian government granted the Metis a piece of land called "Manitoba", and I doubt they would rename that piece of land "Assiniboia" and move "Manitoba" to the east. Just something I wanted to point out.

Now, you might think that this would change in Russian America, but I doubt that. Without the British in charge of Ontario as it was given to the US and Quebec probably forcing most of the English-speaking community out, I see the British instead migrating to the NWTs and setting up settlements there, which would have similar repercussions as they did to the Ontarians.

Oh, and thanks for the map tips :P ChrisL123 02:56, October 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh God no; I live in Canada, and the only other "country" we've learned about is the 13 Colonies, which we were only taught up to the War of 1812.


 * But enough about that. Sorry for getting the info wrong about the Canadas, I hadn't found any information on why they would separate in the first place. But that does make a lot more sense. And I even think that Assiniboia would be a major province in Borealia and would probably be larger in size. Doesn't have to be changed, just a suggestion.


 * Should be an interesting timeline. ChrisL123 22:22, October 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I love Canada too, born and raised. No, I'm Ontarian, but it's funny to note that my mom moved to Manitoba as a kid. Go figure. I just like to help out with the history that I'm most experienced with, until of course I learn about World War I next year.


 * I just looked at it and it makes much more sense to me. Mattagami sounds a lot better than to have it be "Manitoba." And thanks, I'll have to edit the borders a bit later. But no, I never realized that. I just found it on Wikipedia and thought "huh, that works." Go figure again :P ChrisL123 02:50, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

I like the look of the map but I do have a couple of questions

2) How have the various Caribbean territories become part of Arcadia??

That all make sense, The Windies getting "protection" from Acadia who in turn presumably is protected by Britaina.

Transcolumbia
Well... It is not exactly a good idea to combine Slavic prefix (за-) with Latin suffix (-ия). It does happen sometimes (e.g. Черногория 'Montenegro', Югославия 'Yogoslavia'), but still normally it doesn't, and you should keep the whole name either in Latin (Трансколумбия) or in Slavic (Заколумбье).

The adjective "заколумбийский" is okay. But I suppose the name "Заколумбия" should be avoided, and replaced with either "Заколумбье" or "Трансколумбия" (since it's an English-speaking territory, probably a colloquial Russian name hansn't developed at all). — Hellerick 03:08, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Two Things
Thanks for your response, but few things: RandomWriterGuy 03:25, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) You did not answer one of my questions. This one was about if the continuing reforming of the USSR could affect other pro-socialist and other communist states, not just Cuba.
 * 2) I think that with the USSR strongly supporting Israel just like in the way the US is doing, I think that the USSR's Middle Eastern allies feel betrayed and decide to invade Israel.
 * 3) For the Korean War, I was thinking that Bao Tong (the supporter of the Tianeman protests), seeing the continuing reforming of the USSR, trys to get the USSR to support him in a coup against the communists. That way, when the coup succeeds, there will be no obstacle for the USSR and US to declare war on North Korea.
 * 4) For the Afghanistan SSR, yeah. I think that they would not join the country, but if they did, the southern part of the country won't.
 * 5) If #3 is too ASB, then I guess that the USSR and US would have to take certain measures (economic sanctions, freezing assets, freezing diplomatic relations, recognizing Taiwan instead of China as the sole ruler of all of China) so that China will eventually back down due to the massive economic crisis it will eb suffering.
 * 6) If #5 is too ASB, yhen both countries might have to declare war against China to remove any military threat to both sides.
 * 7) That's it. Enjoy!

As an fyi - since I noticed your response on his page - most of what RWG has listed here is extremely ASB. Lordganon 04:34, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

You know what, fine. I will never talk about that crap again. About Bao Tong, he was one of modern Cina's greatest leaders, but was removed from power for his support of the protests in 1989. RandomWriterGuy 05:16, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Re: GWS Corrections

 * Thanks for letting me know about Alexandria; I looked through as many articles as I could find which mentioned Alexandria and Palmeria to try and figure out which version of history was canon, but I guess I got it wrong. Sorry about that.
 * As for the Japanese and Danish colonies, I would have mentioned them to you earlier, but I hadn't fully thought out what I wanted to propose. To be honest, I never really liked the Japanese idea, I just thought it could be interesting, so I have no problem abandoning that. I did quite like the idea of a Danish colony, but if it contradicts your plans, then don't worry, I won't pursue it any further.
 * I didn't know exactly what the plan was for Peter I Island, so I just assumed it would be Norwegian. I'll fix that, too.

Nasser of Arabia Questions
I have certain questions regarding to your proposal to revive the Nasser of Arabia timeline: I also called for LG to help me and you revive this timeline. Enjoy!
 * 1) Will there be different biographies for Islamic terrorist leaders and other Islamic and Arab leaders (other than Saddam or Qaddafi)?
 * 2) Will Arab Spring occur in the timeline?
 * 3) Why would the UAR support the USSR in its invasion of Afghanistan? I thought the UAR is supposed to defend Islam (like many Islamic terrorist groups).
 * 4) Is it wealthy as the OTL Persian Gulf States? (You know, since the richest countries in the Arab World which are some of the world's top 10 richest can greatly make the country the world's richest)?
 * 5) Is it an ally of the US or the USSR?
 * 6) If they invaded Israel, they would obviously start a holocaust in the country, just like in this timeline. Why would they give Jews more rights?
 * 7) What about the Christians, Shias, and other religious minorities? What would happen to them?
 * 8) Is the country ruled by sharia law?
 * 9) If they invaded Israel, most of the international community would try to liberate it. Why would they say they just won't recognize it?
 * 10) Isn't the Union of African States to ASB? And why doesn't Somalia join the UAR? They have a large Arab majority.
 * 11) How does Kurdistan gain independence?
 * 12) Is the country a democracy?
 * 13) Will there be a War on Terror or a 9/11?

RWG
Don't worry about it too much, Nuke. That's the second time in the span of a day I've seen such behavior out of him, and now I've told him to cut it out.

As for the idea.... It's not that bad of one, though I really have to say that Israel getting absorbed is really not too likely. Simply put, for the UAR to exist - you'll have to include the popular monarchs of a few of the states in governing, somehow, as well - it will need to keep down unrest in several areas, using most of its strength. Add to that that the USA of that era - and today, really - has too strong of a lobby in favor of Israel to let them fall.

Plus, the Israelis have nukes well before 1967. Which everyone pretty much suspected at the time.

Though, everyone else united would mean that Camp David definitely gets a peace - the Israelis will agreed to it, easily.

Lordganon 08:32, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, it's more than claims - as a matter of fact, they've never admitted it, however. But there's been a lot of intel, etc. that backs it up.

Have a look at the history part, and the policy part, of this article.

Actually, I have to doubt that the USSR would support the Muslims. Most of the reasoning for it otl - other than to oppose the USA, obviously - is to keep them divided, and thus their own Muslims more pliant. Here, however...... it's unlikely, given that political infighting is vastly lower. It's like asking for trouble.

Probably, they would remain at their post-1948 borders. Neither side, by my guess, would be able to quite defeat the other. The UAR makes them take the Palestinians back, and compensate them, but otherwise they'd likely be left alone.

Long-term for the UAR, I really have to doubt it would stay together. With their enemy(ies) removed in any form, the infighting will do them in quite readily.

Lordganon 07:57, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Not what I meant ^^

It's a great idea for a timeline.

All I'm saying is that you've got a lot of divisions - ethnic, religious, etc. - going on. While it will work for quite some time, you're going to see tensions on some level at some point. Without outside reasons to stay together, these are going to become evident on some level. Variations in Islam, the royal houses desposed, older royals, various tribes... the list goes on, you know? While I can see a pretty solid core sticking together, the outside edges - kind of similar to the USSR - may well break off. This, by my guess, would be most common in northwest Africa, and parts of the Arabian peninsula.

Lordganon 00:46, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

A
I do figure that the poll is legit, though those that voted probably held no understanding of the matter.

As when I voted against it originally, I have to doubt that they would ever rejoin.

The attitude evident in the area can be shown by the outright refusal to hold the 1991 referendum speaks for itself, in my mind. The voting in Armenia that did go on was also almost 30% against it - not even in the Baltic (admittedly, that was mostly Russians voting, but I believe it would have been the same in Armenia) was the "no" vote that big of a percentage.

But, besides that, Armenia atl would be much better off than in otl. They have no war to fight, or occupation to deal with. Nor would they be treated internationally like that are otl (well, besides Turkey - that genocide would be a little hard to forgive). Basically, it will/would avoid all of the problems they faced in the 1990s.

As I've said before - I think - Armenia may ally with them in some form, probably merely hosting radars, etc. for the USSR, but anything past that is probably unlikely.

Ignoring all of that, Georgia....

Armenians at least view Russia favorably - the Russians, through history helped/aided/protected/freed them. Georgians, however are the opposite - they were not freed, bu effectively conquered. People tend to not forget that. Them rejoining is really just not going to happen.

Lordganon 00:48, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Well, as you surely noticed, that 1992 state was a complete work of fiction by the Armenians.

The problem with the Kurds, even compared to the Crimeans, is that almost none of them lived there. At least the Crimeans made up part of the population in Crimea in 1992 worth mentioning, and in addition to that they had a organization/structure ongoing in exile so they could really start returning. Most groups were so diluted that this was difficult - the Kurds are one of the more extreme cases - but the Crimeans, among a few others, were not.

The Kurds returning is one that could happen eventually, but..... not anytime soon.
