The will potentially be renamed the, or the Yazalashas for short. The name was coined by early Russian settlers in the region, and derives from the Old Ognian term for the mountains. The ancient Ognaru people referred to the mountains as Yesalashar, which translates as "Land of the Howling Wolves." The Russians have histrionically referred to the region that now makes up Bellinsgauzenia as Priyazalashie (Cisyazalasha; "This side of the Yazalashas"), while Byrdia was referred to as Zayazalashie (Transyazalasha; "Beyond the Yazalashas").

My Red Brother
My Red Brother (: Мой Красный Брат, Moy Krasnyy Brat) is a Bellinsgauzenian comedy release in 1983. Directed by Nikolai Chazov, the film depicts a Bellinsgauzenian man discovering that the has an older brother living in the Soviet Union. The film was made and released during the, in which better relations between the two began to show.

Plot
Dmitry Adolfovich Potemkin, a salesman from New Petrograd, discovered that his parents were tragically killed in a car crash. During the chaos, he accidentally learns that his beloved parents were not his biological parents. Doing some sleuthing, Dmitry discovers that his father was a decorated Red Army general, who was killed during the. While looking for information about his mother, he discovers that he has an older brother living in Leningrad. Growing up as an only child, he is intrigued at the idea of having a brother. Dmitry buys a ticket to the Soviet Union. Upon arriving in Leningrad, he is shocked to learn that his long lost brother, Leonid Orlov, is a devout communist and a leading head in the regional soviet; and wants nothing to do with a "Capitalist Nazi" (as quoted by Leonid). As a salesman, Dmitry won't take "no" for an answer, and continues to open up to him. During the film, Leonid continues to refer to his "brother" by his patronymic "Adolfovich" (making fun of the fact that the Soviets hate the name "Adolf" [because of ], while the Bellinsgauzenians continue to use the name in great numbers).

Union, Confederacy, and beyond

 * Main articles: Two Americas

The main POD I am thinking of now would be that when Mexican politician offered to have his state be annexed into the Confederacy in exchange for troops and artillery, President  would reluctantly agree to the offer; with huge backing from Congress. On September 2, 1861, the Mexican states of - (which was a single state at the time) and (which was wiling to be united with its neighbor) were officially annexed as the, which would later be shortened to simply "Madre." The same day, Texan troops crossed the, as supportive citizens wave the. The next few months would be crucial to the Confederacy, as efforts from the and Madre would lead to the creation of Confederate governments for the neighboring states of  (not to be confused with the dog breed) and  by January 1862. The new states would be very useful for the Confederacy. More troops would be deployed north, leading to the total control of Kentucky by the Confederacy in late 1862. Pro-Confederate Sonorans would soon have total control of the major port of, giving the Confederacy a port to the Pacific. Despite this advantage, the Confederacy would not be able to maximize this new port, as the Union would soon occupy the entire Baja California peninsula and creating a blockade of the (see below). Military activity was minimal, but the economic advantage was able to gain great success (but not to the full extent as would be after the war).

The news shocks Washington. To prevent more of Mexico from becoming Confederate, the Union orders troops to cross into Baja California. Within days, the capital of was under Union occupation. In Mexico City, President was relieved that the Union was helping out Mexico, but the Union was not willing to get too involved. In December 1861, France in the growing dissolution of Mexico (nothing to do with the Confederate annexation of Madre), hoping to prop-up a. Due to the Civil War, the US was more focused on the Confederacy, preventing Juarez to do anything about the Confederacy or France.



The war would heat up in 1863 when the Confederacy is able to defeat from capturing the Mississippi river, and the Union is able to push the Confederacy out of Pennsylvania and Maryland. These victories would lead to high moral for the men, but it would only show that the war was leading nowhere. By 1865, the war had turned from being a sided victory into a war with no winner. In March 1866, Britain and France decided to intervene in the matter, pressuring Washington and Richmond on a ceasefire. After weeks of negotiations, both sides agree to a ceasefire, being signed by Union General Grant and Confederate General .<!--

The new lands would greatly help the CSA, but not to a large extent. More material and men would help in the war effort, but the Confederate presence in the Pacific could not be extended to its full extent. The fact that the US occupied Baja California made military activity harder for the CSA. Though the US was more lenient on merchant ships, it could not be taken to its full extent. The war continues for years. The western counties of Virginia secede from the Confederacy to rejoin the Union. The Confederacy is able to gain headway in Kentucky, with the Union government fleeing across the Ohio river, and Confederate Missouri would also gain power over the southern part of the state (more than OTL). The war soon turned from being a decisive victory into a war with no end. By late 1865, France and Britain had enough. The two powers help to bring a ceasefire between the Union and the Confederacy. Reluctantly, both sides agree to a ceasefire. Rather than being a line of troops, the ceasefire line was simply the states themselves. The Union agreed to remove its troops Confederate controlled states; but with disputes over Kanawha, Missouri, the Indian Territory, and the New Mexico Territory. Between 1866 until the early 1870s, the feel of war would be replaced with the feel of Cold War, with both sides fearing an attack from the other. While the Union put more effort on guarding its borders, the CS began to take a more active role for Mexico. France accepts Confederate assistance in Mexico, leading to a quite different outcome for the war. The US stood there and did nothing to assist Mexico, more concerned for its own protection not just from the CSA, but now from France and the UK (which were rumored to be working even closer with the CSA). In reality, France had no interest in going into war with the Union, and was more into bringing peace between the two. The UK supported the CS more than the US in many ways, but was also not willing to allow the war to continue.

Abraham Lincoln strongly believed that due to the atmosphere of the war, he would not be reelected in 1864. He even packs his bags. But in shock, he wins the election. With the CSA keeping its ground in the war, Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth would not see assassination as an option. Because of which, Abraham Lincoln would be able to finish his term alive and well. Jefferson Davis would not be so lucky to a degree. According to the Constitution of the CSA, the President is elected for a single six-year term. In 1867, Davis steps down from office as an accomplished man. Vice President Alexander H. Stephens wins and becomes the new President. Just like Davis, he supported Southern independence, but was also willing to negotiate peace. Lincoln would also step down from office in 1868, when Union General Ulysses S. Grant wins the Presidency. Though more against the CSA than Lincoln. The US would move from defeating the south to, as worded by Grant, "getting the best deal out of it."

By 1870, the two governments would meet in London. The US would agree to recognize the independence of the CSA for several conditions.


 * 1) The CS is to recognize the Union claims on Kanawha (western Virginia) and Chariton (northern Missouri).
 * 2) Relinquish the entire claim to the New Mexico territory (allowing the CS to have Arizona).
 * 3) Recognize all the area west of the Colorado river as separate from the CSA (both preventing the CS from claiming any of the Californias.
 * 4) Allow full Union occupation of the Virginian counties of Accomack and Northampton (to ensure Union access to the Potomac river and Chesapeake bay).

It was clear that the Indian Territory would not willingly go back to the Union, and was willing to fight to remain in the Confederacy. Rather than looking weak, Grant request that the tribes be allowed to vote on what nation they want to be a part of. Just as expected, the majority of the people vote to remain in the Confederacy.-->

Timeline

 * 1787 – The Constitutional Convention collapses.


 * 1788 – The United States of America ceases to exist.


 * 1789 – Talks between the [now] independent New York and New Jersey on a potential union begin. Talks collapse with the beginning of the Vermont War between New York and the recently established New England.


 * 1791 – The Vermont War ends with the "Treaty of Providence," in which New York agrees to relinquishing its claim to Vermont. Later in the year, talks with New Jersey begin again.




 * 1792 – New York and New Jersey meet in Trenton to officially establish the . The name New Netherland was unanimously chosen for the new nation, as it both moved the nation further away from British colonialism and was an already established unity name for the two states. As part of the Trenton Agreement, the two states were divided up into three new entities. New Jersey was divided between North and South, while New York agreed to transfer Richmond County to North Jersey and allowing the three counties of Long Island to be admitted as their own state. New York would also agree to sell all of its claims in the north to the federal government (to be divided into future states) if the capital would be in Albany. Albany was also selected as a means to encourage northern population growth. New York Governor  would be elected as the first President of New Netherland. That same year, New Netherland agrees to sell parts of its northern territory to neighboring Pennsylvania to allow them a coastline to Lake Erie (the ).


 * 1795 – The State of New Jersey officially changes its name to the "State of North Jersey."


 * 1804 – The Capital District of Albany is finalized as a federal district of New Netherland. Later that year, the surrounding lands are admitted as the new State of Schenectady.


 * 1809 – The State of New York officially changes its name to the "State of Hudson." New York City retains its name.

Russo-Japanese Alliance?


Russia is one of the great powers of the world. Japan would most likely take a role of "emerging power" or a prominent power in the Pacific. With the Anglo-Portuguese and the Franco-Spanish power blocks continuing to have major say in Asia and the Pacific, Russia and Japan would find themselves moving closer to each other.

Prior to the late 19th century, the Empire of Japan and the Russian Empire retained a peaceful relation. In OTL, the expansions of these two into China would lead to tensions. These tensions would rise after Russia would take the role as "protector" of China, demanding the evacuation of Japanese involvement. These tensions would soon lead to war between the two in 1904.

In this timeline, it could turn out a bit differently. Rather than Russia taking the role as "protector," Russia would see a potential alliance with Japan as a greater benefit for not just Russia, but both Empires. Despite early disputes over Manchuria, Russia and Japan would begin cooperation. By 1904, a Second Treaty of Saint Petersburg would be signed, giving Russia Manchuria (and the ice-free port of ), and Russia would leave the Korean Peninsula for Japan. This treaty would also lead to Russia gaining Chinese East Turkestan, and Japan gaining the Chinese coastline. With the expansions these two empires, the two would further tie themselves into an alliance. By 1910, Russia and Japan would formalize the "Dalny Pact" (named after the [now] Russian port of . This new pact would soon counteract the Concord Pact (British) and the Marseille Pact (Franco-Spanish).

Things that should be known

 * The Grater City of New York (NYC as we know it today) would not form. This is primarily due to Richmond County (Staten Island) being transferred to North Jersey, and Kings and Queens becoming part of the State of Long Island. The counties of (Manhattan Island) and the southern portions of  (The Bronx) would agree to unite as a single city, while Brooklyn would continue to expand to the ends of Kings County (but both remain separate cities). Queens and Richmond remain prominently suburban (more or less like OTL). Despite this, the vast region that makes up OTL New York City does continue exist. The five counties (plus much more than OTL) work united as the New York-Brooklyn Metropolitan Area. The Port Authority (known officially as the "Port Authority of Hudson, Long Island, and North Jersey) works in the vast region that occupies three states.


 * Nassau County would still brake off from Queens (but because of population density, rather than the eastern half of [then] Queens not wanting to be part of the Grater City of New York). Peconic County would also form in TTL, spitting Suffolk into two.

 * 9:05 MSK: A seemingly minor fire breaks out on a packed train on transit from the station. It is later confirmed that it was an suitcase bomb with failed to detonate. But this would not be confirmed until well after the other explosions.
 * 9:31 MSK: A second bomb explodes in the lobby of the metro station. The blast kills 24 people instantly, and injures countless others. Fire breaks out in the station, causing more to die from smoke inhalation. Because the blast took place underground, firefighters are unable to reach the trapped commuters until hours later.
 * 9:49 MSK: A suitcase bomb successfully explodes on a packed train in between the station and the  station. The blast kills all who were in the car, and causes the train to stop in the middle of the line. Fire would soon break out, and filling to tunnel with smoke. Rescuers are unable to reach "any" survivors until five hours later.
 * 10:11 MSK: A woman is caught attempting to detonate herself in the middle of Red Square. After the explosions, many Muscovites flock away from the square (for various reasons). When a suspicious woman is seen by a Moscow DPS, the police officer approaches her. When she attempts to detonate herself, the officer tackles her to the ground, with fellow officers and concerned Muscovites assisting him. Ten minutes later, Moscow orders a complete closing of its Metro stations to new passengers. The order is enforced in the center of the city, but would take a while before being enforced on the city border.
 * 10:24 MSK: A final explosion rips across a train train departing from the station on route to . Due to the explosions across Moscow, the train only had 21 passengers on the train (with only two dying from the explosion). Shortly afterwards, the Soviet department of transit orders the closing of all Metros across the Union.

By the end of the day, over 750 people are confirmed dead, and over 5,000 others injured.

Benny Benson?
In OTL, Benny Benson, Alaskan native most noted for designing the flag of Alaska, has virtually lived a rough and seemingly depressing life. But what about this timeline? Could he have turned out any different in comparison to the differences? Here is a potential timeline for Benson:

John Ben Benson, Jr., was born on October 12, 1913, in the tiny village of (then part of the Commonwealth of Alaska). His father was of Swedish decent, while his mother was of Aleut-Russian decent. Benny was the second born of three children. Because the region was under greater population and government by New Archangel and Russia, there would be no pandemic in the region, in which Benson's mother will not die. Because of which, his father would not put his children up for adoption, and the family would continue to move around the Catherine Archipelago and Russian America. But by the age of 3, the lives of the region would be changed forever, as the Russian Empire breaks out into revolution and civil war (with Russian America not too far behind). When a communist government is established and enforced on the Catherine Archipelago, the Benson family evacuates to the democratic regions of the eventual "Democratic Republic of New Russia." Despite the move, the rights of the natives were drastically reduced, which caused many (including Benny's own mother) to become part of an Aleut rights movement in the region. At the age of 13, Benny designed a flag for his mother's group, a flag with the big dipper. The flag would eventually be adopted as the "Aleut flag." But by the end of the 1920s, the drastic reduction of Aleut and minority rights were becoming major movements, and eventually stop after the creation of the Alaska:Alaskan Democratic Federative Republic:0.

With the collapse of Communist Alaska, the Bensons return to the Catherine Archipelago. However, peace remained limited, as Japan would invade and occupy a large part of the islands. Though the Bensons were not in the occupied area, the 29 year old Benny enrolled in the Alaskan military to fight off the Japanese invasion. He would become part of the "Island Hoppers" that liberate the Catherine Archipelago, and would even serve time on the Commander Islands and Kamchatka. During the 50s, Benson became a major supporter of the "Native Movement" that broke out across Alaska. He and other would help to form an Aleut organization that sponsored the creation of an "Aleut Governorate." Benson would also be a major advocate on finalizing the annexation of the primarily Aleut populated Commander Islands from the USSR (which also claimed the islands). The Aleut Territory would be created in 1949, with the territory being upgraded to full Governorate in 1956. Benson would be elected in a landslide victory as the first Governor of Aleutia. He would remain Governor up until the mid 1960s. He runs for President and wins the election in 1967.

New POD for RA... hooray!

 * 1) Ivan Kuskov gives more detail about northern California (rather than a blunt description as in OTL). He would write his wife, giving even greater detail. Kuskov would also encourage his comrades (already at the colony) to write their families. In combination of word being spread by Baranov, the Kuskovs, and the early colonists, the description would eventually become circulated as the "Kuskov Papers," which is read across the Empire. The wording will encourage more and more Russians to colonize the region.
 * 2) When Baranov is accused of "siphoned money" to American banks, he would still be removed from power. But with the success of the Ross Colony, and the confirmation that the rumor is completely false, Baranov is [in some words] given an apology and returns to his post as Governor (rather than being sent back to Russia, where he dies on route).
 * 3) Russia would still proclaim the, but it would be worded much differently. Foreign vessels would not be banned from Russian territory. Russia would still claim all of the coat of North America north of the  (which would give Russia all the land north of Vancouver Island), and would also claim the  watershed (and coastal regions... more details to come) as Russian. With non-Russian ships allowed, the Americans and British would not show as much defiance as OTL (but would still dispute it). It would be Spain who is the most pissed, and would eventually agree to invade the colony.


 * More to come soon.

Republics of the UAR?


Nasser of Arabia (Nasserism in Arabia) was my first alternate timeline I posted here. I removed the timeline because of conflicting PODs, the growing fact that most of the timeline was ASB, and the current events of Arab Spring. Despite this, I haven't given up on the timeline, and I have been working on and off of it since I removed it. After getting several comments about the timeline, I have decided to put some of the information and ideas for the timeline on here.

For your enjoyment, here are the new republics I have been working on for the timeline for months now.
