In the Mood

Welcome to the world of 2017, but it isn't out 2017. For sometime 90 years ago the swift economic collapse of Germany was prevented with increased infrastructure spending. And in 1929 the world was hit with a minor recession.

For the people in this world are In the Mood. This is a world were the culture of the 1920s seemingly didn't go away but there are some changes. Military prowess is focused on huge offensives with overwhelming manpower, tanks, trenches, and artillery.

With no real economic collapse the rise of Far-Right and Far-Left parties never matriculated and the Beer Hall Putsch was a minor affair with police quelling a minor rebellion by NSDAP members lead by Adolf Hitler against the local government. For Strassser was the rights strongman and began to heavily rebuild the German military in the 1950s to counter the increasingly isolationist Soviet Union. In Central America, thanks to a policy implemented by President Joseph Kennedy in 1934 were the Banana Republics turned into states. However there is a keen alliance of Central American nations vowing to destroy the USSR and replace it with their Trotskyist idea's.

Colonialism hasn't really ended in Africa. South/East Africa and Rhodesia constantly work with the Portuguese and Belgians to maintain their African holdings. The guerilla war being so brutal in the Congo it was authorized the usage of poison gas.

India is the New China. It is under a neo-socialist, Hindu-supremac regime which is focusing on suppressing the Muslims and providing weapons to the Africans. Despite being a combination of Maoist, Stalinist, Trotskyist, and Leninist, India is where a lot of cheap labor jobs go.

China is unstable. There are many thoughts of a new civil war between the fascist Strasserites near Guangzhou, the KMT government, and the leftists Progressive factions.
