Okay, so I've been thinking a lot, and now I'm considering changing the POD.

First one will be an unsuccesful August Coup in the USSR, which leads to a New Union-like situation, which I need to reread, admittedly.

Second, would be North and South Korea entering into a confederation, with Seoul as a federal capital. The Koreas would retain their political systems, but would eventually hybridize and the federation will cease to exist. What would be required for this to be somewhat plausible?

Third, since the USSR and Koreas are reforming, amongst other "Communist" states, the PRC is maybe forced to adopt some change, particularly if Taiwan becomes an SAR, mostly initiated by conflicts witht he SARs.

Space Race continues, and heats up. There will be technological changes I'll have to think of to compensate. Any suggestions would be cool ;)

Eventually, a Third World War will begin, when the Communist states and the US go hardline, left and right wing respectively. Maybe some nuclear detonations occur, but I imagine there'd be military takeovers to prevent full out nuclear war. Maybe even some sort of covert operations by other third parties.

I'd imagine in the wake of WWIII the EU grows and becomes more of a federation, and the US and USSR may break up.

The UN will probably start becoming more aggressive and start to function like the EU. There are other reasons for this, but I don't want too much revealed ;)

It should also be noted that this TL may be extended a couple of decades from now.
