A US Civil War where the CSA magically wins the Civil War by somehow defeating the Union at a few big cherry-picked battles (through the powers of...AK-47s? The world may never know). Britain also magically comes to the South's aid and they manage to curbstomp the US into giving up Maryland, DC, and forcing California into becoming independent. The ASBs begin to go wild at this point and the US moves its capital to Boston and becomes a free-market capitalist Gilded Age paridise. The CSA becomes a Jeffersonian Democracy and they take much of Central America due to the ASBs which seem to love the South. California magically takes over the Southwest and eventually most of the West, becoming the WSA, standing for the (guess what) Western States of America. Nothing happens until a Communist revolt in the early 1900s turns the USA into the WRA (Worker's Republic of America). Alaska becomes its own nation for no reason. World War I goes as it usually does, except the CSA comes to Britain and France's aid instead of all three countries in the former US. The USSR happens and they become best budz with the PRA. Hitler is magically born and the CSA joins the Axis (because they're an evil racist hellhole along with the other Axis nations). The Axis destroy the Allies with California (suffering a Pearl Harbor) defeated by Japan, taking its Pacific possessions and creating a puppet on the mainland (headquartered out of San Fransisco), Germany taking over most of Europe and magically defeating both the USSR and PRA, the PRA is split between the CSA and a German puppet, Canada and the last bastions of the Brits are defeated, but left intact, albeit as independent nations. The USSR struggles on in an eternal war against Germany in the Urals and Japan in the East. A Cold War develops between Japan and Germany, it spills into America where a conflict between Japan-aligned California and Germany-aligned AU (American Union, the German puppet in the Northeast) becomes nuclear war magically and devastates the world. The CSA (as usual) survives due to magically leaving Germany's sphere of influence and thus remaining neutral. All the neutral third-world nations become powers. All is well until on Sept 11, 2001, Islamic fundementalists from the People's Republic of Afghanistan fly zeppelins (which take the part of airplanes in this TL) into various buildings in the CSA cities of New York and Washington. Also, a black man by the name of Barack Obama becomes leader of the People's Industrial Midwestern Republic Nation blah blah long pointless name of Chicago.

Howzat?
