World War II Ideas
To me, it goes a touch far - while given those things happening, Poland would survive much longer, this seems to take the concept even further than I suspect is plausible. Things such as no German Civil War after the assassination, and the like - all just too good to be true. Good read, though. Lordganon 05:50, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps the biggest thing is with the Soviets. This pretty well assumes that the entire country was full of idiots, which obviously is not the case. The author also seems to consider the West to be rather.... slow, too. Reads kind of like a Poland "wank" to me, to be honest.

Overall, it really is operating on a ton of assumptions. The PoD - one or two of them, all of them together seems unrealistic - alone would be a good thing to take, and then to run from there.

Lordganon 08:32, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

I meant "slow" as in stupid, or the like.

No, I'm not mistaken. I am well aware of all of those things.

"Inexperienced." The very concept means that after a fair amount of fighting, they would gain experience. Yet, that author ignores that notion entirely. And, as I said, assumes the entire army was full of idiots. The purges did not get all the bright ones - and they would have taken some sort of command eventually. But there's no indication of that ever occurring.

The author has the West still standing by, even with Poland holding out. I am well aware that they did nothing otl, but here they have 6-12 months, minimum, of extra time. They would have had even their own citizens telling them to do something by that point.

I'm well aware of the Japanese thing. That's why I didn't say one outright. Though, it won't make much difference at all.

I'm also aware of the anti-tank rocket part being based in all of that. However, it only works in the atl because the Poles manage to keep it hidden from everyone. On the scale, both as described and in the amount needed to actually make an impact, that is impossible. I realize that it may be possible that the things are discounted, but it also assumes that the German military - and, indeed, most militaries - is full of idiots.

Lordganon 17:07, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I think I can help a bit, Yank. You know I'm always willing to help. Lordganon 17:45, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Gallic Rome
And, how do you want the Franks to lose the battle? Not actually going to the picked battlefield at the time chosen, be it earlier or later, fighting it somewhere else, or Clovis not being able to convince one of the sub-kings to come to battle? (Ragnachar is the one I'd use, because I can place him at the battle for sure) Lordganon 01:26, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Wasn't thinking of killing him anyways - all that would manage is to make the Franks unify much, much, later. The defeat would make it so that he's too weak to go west, so he has to go east after the sub-kings and other tribes instead.

Will simply have them show up a few days late, then. Early is helpful, but... not too much. Later, and catch them as they are leaving..... a rout. May actually help the Franks in the long run, since at least a few sub-kings would die, but weaken them overall, no question. Going to have Ragnachar die too, unless you object ^^

Lordganon 01:56, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

One of the sub-kings killed by Clovis a few years after the battle here. Fought at the battle, and lived, he later turned traitor on Clovis, and was a pagan among Christians. There's an article on wikipedia about him. Didn't do much of anything historically, either, except die. Lordganon 03:50, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Riel's Canada
Hey, Yank, being a collaborative member with Tbguy1992, I was wondering if I may adopt your timeline, Riel's Canada? Just let me know on my talk page whenever you read this, and if there's any discrepancies between the two of you we can discuss it on the talk page. ChrisL123 19:45, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

American Spring
Hi, Yank. Just a short note about an idea I had. I know that you don't like the idea of the new United States rising to power, but maybe your politicians in Virginia (and maybe even in Lincoln) might add a twist into the whole American Spring debate by filing charges against George Bush and the defunct APA. In turn, the CRUSA (lead by JFK, Jr.) could file counter charges against Campbell. Both charges could be based on 'war-crimes' and treasonous actions in the wake of the nuclear attacks.

It's just an idea, and it would spice up the theme of the rising influence of the new USA. I'd have the government stay out of the Virginian claims, but perhaps file claims against the Lincoln government (not sure there, but the 'take over' by the mayor of the city leaves some room for debate). Let me know what you think. I'll write the JFK part and you can have fun with the other. SouthWriter 17:11, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Eastwood/Chaney
I really like the Eastwood idea. He could have been Van Helsing in several films (sort of like Dirty Harry) and directed horror films later, and won an Oscar for it (instead of winning an Oscar for Unforgiven, specifically).

As for Chaney... isn't it easier for him to just never have gotten lung cancer in the first place...?

KingSweden 23:54, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

I made a page on your ODESSA-like idea (called ORPLEX for "Organisation pour les Loyalists Exiles") and I'll get to work on the Van Helsing stuff pronto.

KingSweden 00:33, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Haha! Nice. That's probably a good idea, make the Van Helsing movies a spinoff series. A note on those regulations - I think I was aiming for them to only be regulations in California, since the Governor of California (Redford) was able to deregulate in 1972.

What you could also do is have that original (probably '67 or '68) Dracula movie be produced in Mexico, like you were talking about, sort of like a Spaghetti western...? Then have an American studio hop on the gravy train in '72 by making a spinoff series of Van Helsing with American actors but the recognizable Eastwood as the lead. The 1968 (or whenever) Mexican Dracula could have been a smash success in America that launched his career?

KingSweden 01:20, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah that sounds pretty good. Umm well I don't know who from the late 1960's would make a good Dracula. Christopher Lee probably wouldn't want to "commercialize" with a role like that.

KingSweden 02:23, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not super partial, whoever you think is best. I'll defer my judgment to you.

World War II Timeline Ideas
Allied Japan:

Given the situation in both Japan and the USA, an alliance being formed at opening is pretty-well impossible. Even ignoring that, the butterflies would be..... massive.

However, you could manage the alliance another way. The Japanese High Command was faced with a choice in 1941: attacking north, or south. What they chose is pretty obvious. But, if you can get the Soviets into the Axis camp 100% somehow, American pressures may change and then direct their intentions somewhat differently than in otl. There's a couple times, with delayed/canceled operations when that could have happened otl.

With that context, Japan aligning with the Brits and Americans in some form would make sense. Of course, American involvement would likely be slightly delayed, but..... probably not by much, to be honest.

Vichy France Survives:

Pretty much impossible. They were too aligned with the Nazis. Spain was neutral, though barely, so they survived - Vichy, was not. From day one, I'm afraid, despite how the Americans though of them.

Ignoring that, the Nazis would have seized them anyways. Even if not when they did otl, at the very least at D-day they would have. Past that, the locals would have killed it on their own. Nor would the Allies have let it survive - the French were part of that, after all.

Lordganon 19:47, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I wouldn't overstate the Japanese, there. The Soviet forces there were, and without a war in the west, would likely remain, their best. Numbers, supplies, etc. means that Japanese troops will win eventually, but.... may be a touch surprising.

Vlad~ would eventually be overrun, true, but it'd take a siege. You're right about the islands, mind.

Manchuria surviving is unlikely, unless the Japanese prop it up, and even then..... Had no real popular support, I'm afraid. Reunion with China probably would remain unlikely, but.... idk. Rock and hard place, really. As for the rest, the RoC probably wouldn't do it. Plus, Japan would have to at least make efforts to remove themselves from China, too. Question of troops, and supplies, and American backing.

Definite that they would get stamped out. But definitely not fleeing to Taiwan. Question of where they are based, etc. Got me as to where they could flee, but their bases with near Mongolia. Given the war and that fact, I doubt that anyone would flee ala Taiwan otl.

New Map Game
Hey, Yank. Seeing how plausibly you play on Principia Moderni, I was wondering if you wanted to moderate a game I made set in 200 AD (We need a classical map game). It is called Cras ut Superstes. It's got a new system of stability that I was hoping to try out. I can't wait to see it played.

War of the Hanthawaddy Succession
Okay I am not fully sure who is going to win the war, but who ever does will have the throne of Hanthawaddy. I'm not making any promises, and I will go solely by the algorithm. So sometime next year (1650), preferably during the summer, because the emperor will be in Pegu rather than hard-to-attack Viharapura, with Jayadeva's forces. Binnya Rada will retaliate with his massive mercenary-army. Although I suggest you go through the algorithm and make sure you have every possible advantage, as I think Hanthawaddy has a slight advantage, taking a guess. Also, I dunno what to do if you win hugely, because you can't really take Pegu, and if you do Hanthawaddy will be a weird pseudo-Indian state. Personally I'm ready to reject the Warerus to Tibet but I want the war to be a good one. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 01:27, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

We'll see. It doesn't really matter to me. Whatever the algorithm says. I'm wanting to shed off excess territory anyway as a model for other players, and if it means losing Pegu, it's no problem. I can always gain it back if I wanted to. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 04:49, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

Romanovs
Her survival is unlikely - I think that there is one, and only one person, who was alive in 1917 that was a member of the Russian royals or nobility still lving as of the early 1990s. Her living until 1991, let alone the present, is pretty well impossible. Add to that the fact that its nearly impossible for her or another member of the royal family to get away.

She would have been a carrier of hemophilia - most of the female descendants of Queen Victoria have been. It is dormant in females, but it's almost impossible for it not to be there overall.

A line going through a cousin, or one of the Czar's siblings would be more likely. If they are resident in Alaska, and hold power there, they can easily gain it back - well, one of their children, but I digress - and given things would be much more likely to flee with the colony existing too.

Lordganon 05:31, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Wallachia
Err.... I guess you haven't really looked at much about the region, have you?

Transylvania, in fact, controls far more territory than it occupies. I realize now that the article itself is not very clear on that matter - I hope that the small edit I did just now helps in that regard - and expanding the article and giving it a real history is something on my list of things to do. It is something greatly elaborated on elsewhere, I assure you.

Transylvania, in fact, is in control over all of Moldavia, Romania, and parts of the former Ukraine. Basically, all the claimed areas on the map outside of the Serbian claims. Various degrees of contamination to the soils to the east - the same storms that contaminated much of the Crimea and parts of the Northern Caucasus are the cause - prevent extensive settlement or the like, and the area is dotted with military posts. A WWF project in the area, to investigate further, is going to start on October 7th.

As such, your proposal is..... impossible. Note, too, that most of this is not my work.

Lordganon 04:35, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

I repeat: This is laid out in other articles. And, too, the word "claims" does not mean that they have no power there. The article has long said, as well, that they had forces in the area. Nor does it say "uncontrolled" anywhere. The otl part is a miss on my part when I last updated the infobox to match what the article already said.

If you had read any other articles in the area, you'd have known about it, Yank. There is, if memory serves, around a dozen that say this. Note, again, that the majority of this is not my work, originally.

That proposal is impossible. Simple.

Sure, I can do a meeting. The only days I cannot is Mondays, due to an evening class. However, any other day of the week will most likely work. Tbguy1992 15:49, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello? Are you still up to meeting, or not? Tbguy1992 03:36, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Eee.... a little problem with that: My last class on Friday doesn't start until 4, and won't be over until 5:15, and put on a half hour bus ride... I don't think we can do it. :( Tbguy1992 04:06, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

But, my last class on TUESDAY starts at 4 PM, and there would be no way for me to go to my classes, then get to St. Vital before 6 at the latest. I don't think we can actually meet for the rest of the school year due to my schedule, as I'm not going to skip class to go. Sorry. Tbguy1992 22:05, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Help with FTBW?
Out of curiosity, I was wondering if you would be able to help me flesh out French Trafalgar, British Waterloo a bit. Now that I do have time (though not able to meet you, unfortunately), I should be able to throw together a lot more of the story and such.

Principia Moderni (Possible Vietmanese Expansion Offer)
Dear Vietanm. We have been watching the rapid Russian expansion and are incredibily concerned. We send an offer to join arms in the period between 1673 to 1682 where we will reveal ourselves. We are a current ally of yours as well. Vietnam has the chance to gain huge advantages in land. We are also approaching the nations of China (who may require aid if Hanthawaddy gets involved) and Joseon who will seize quite a piece of land from Russia too. You may gain a sizeable chunk of Russia too as a colony. In Europe we have approached Naples, Sweden and Venice to help if Hungary, France or Anglo-Germany appear in this conflict. Respond on your own talk page if you are interested. I will check it every day.

Well, I didn't know about it- anyways, it really doesn't matter which order. Anyways, I will annex it eventually. PitaKang- (Talk | Contribs) 23:35, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Moravia (1983: Doomsday)
Not a bad idea, overall.

But, you do have a problem: That's either got to move northwards, or shrink. Bohemia needs to shrink back down too.

The Alpines have since the 1980s controlled a security zone virtually around their entire borders, of at least 50 km. Czechoslovakia is included. There's no way a nation right against their borders is possible.

And, I'm sure that there's more than three strikes.

Lordganon 03:46, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Well, looking at the map, it's going to have to shrink a bit, I think, as it moves. Not 100% sure, but I figure it will be likely.

About 2/3rds of the territory for Bohemia will likely work out.

I'll see what I can cook up for you. Should have something later this afternoon.

First contact for Moravia, btw, would likely come through Poland.

Lordganon 13:37, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

No, you won't be. That article is Oer's. Not only that, but you are heavily violating the adoption policy by doing that. Lordganon 14:33, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't matter whether or not you think you need to finish it, or when it was updated last. The fact still remains. Unless you get permission, you will do nothing to it. Lordganon 14:56, October 6, 2011 (UTC)



As promised, here's a map. Blue is Bohemia - about double the original map size, and 2/3rds of yours or so - and Green is Moravia. I've also added more strikes. Was a really large number of them in the north o.o

A Silesian state is probably out, I'm afraid.

Looking at things, the original Bohemia size would actually work the best, but I did do it bigger as requested.

Added strikes: Milovice, Mlada Boleslav, Vysoke Myto, Bruntal, Ostrava, Liberec, Pisek, Pribram, Hradec Kralove, and some damage from a hit on Trencin in Slovakia, a couple clicks from the border. A couple of these are major cities, but the rest are all large bases.

Blansko is still inside the Moravian state. However, the city of Olomouc is too, and would be a better capital (funny - not a hit in 1983, but a massive target today, that one) It is also a historical capital of the Province of Moravia, and the location of the Catholic diocese - and late, archdiocese - for Moravia since the 11th Century. The rest of the cities you have listed on Moravia are not in this one.

Lordganon 08:36, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Rest assured, I've already taken care of that. There are that many bases from that era in the Czech Republic. Basically, almost their entire military was in this area, and the same goes for an entire Soviet Army. Lordganon 02:25, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, their army for the most part would have been based on remnants. But, the Slovaks would stay - think about it: they have nowhere to go for about a decade. By that point, they are established with families. Why would they leave? Some might, but almost all of them wouldn't.

There's really no way to tell overall with their lists. By the time they get revealed, we'll all be dead or too old to notice. As always, we have to make our own guesses. Really though, given the size of the lists, all would have been on them at some point. It's just a question of how far down, you know? Add to that the nukes on the opponent's nuclear bases, EMP, military forces, and targeting/arming issues, there's no telling how many of them got off and made it to hit. For all we know, the first five hundred targets could have been hit, and then another group a couple hundred down the list of that side going too. Never know.

Lordganon 03:52, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

I'll look into it tonight. Lordganon 04:22, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

All right, here goes....

"The military of the Moravian Republic primarily consists of the remnants of Czechoslovakian and Soviet forces in the former Czech half of the Czechoslovakian state, in addition to those recruited into its ranks since that time. In part, these remnants are from the Soviet 48th Motor Rifle Division headquartered at Vysoké Mýto, and Soviet 31st Tank Division headquartered at Bruntál, both of which were hit by nuclear weapons. The majority, however, come from the Czechoslovak 22nd Airborne Infantry Regiment based at Prostějov, which was lucky enough to escape nuclear destruction, though many still died from the chaos and the fallout.

Primarily, they are an infantry force, armed with surviving weaponry from the 22nd Regiment, and other weapons manufactured or imported since. A few surviving tanks and personnel carriers from the Soviet Divisions are in use as well. No intact planes, however, are in their possession, all having been heavily damaged at Doomsday.

They are currently looking at repairing the planes to some degree, and upgrade their equipment somewhat, if they can afford it."

How's that sound?

Re: Star Trek
I like your ideas for Christopher Pike and Chekov, and somewhat with Kirk, but I'd suggest a slightly different twist - make Kirk a protege of Pike's on the Enterprise who is brash and arrogant and who eventually goes rogue against his mentor and father-figure, setting him up as a spiteful, dangerous opponent throughout the series (and in the sequel to the 2009 film, in which Trekkies would excitedly see how they weave in Kirk "turning" against Pike, and could have been a movie focusing more on the nuances of Kirk, who could be a complex character). I have Shatner as James Bond during the 1960's, so a diff actor would probably be preferred.

Meanwhile, the ally of Vietnam Naples has decided to help fight off this hostile expansion in Europe.

Dracula
I took a look at Chris Lee's Wikipedia entry, and it looks like the first Dracula movie came out in 1958, at which time John Carradine (1906-1988) would have been in his early fifties. Since the last one didn't come out until the early 1970's (at which time there would have been considerable advances in prosthetics and makeup), I think that the problem essentially solves itself.

Malay Rebels
…That's not gonna work, it would just make it worse. I purposely set up the rebellion so you would have to put it down the normal way, with fighting, or just let the Malays rule themselves. This isn't about tolerance or anything really, it just is inevitable when you have a deep dividing cultural line, and Vietnamese people ruling over Muslims, that they would rebel. In general there is a trend in "marginal areas" that they usually switch hands very often, so thus you controlling Malaysia for an excessively long time would be implausible.

Keep in mind another important part of running your country is maintaining unity. You really have not spend much time on this, and your country has no unifying characteristics, except an emperor who just happens to be of Vietnamese descent. Something to think about.

He's sctually nice when you take the time to talk to him, but he's sort of lazy. When my friends and I tell him to work on something, he insists that we drop the subject. I just don't think he likes being told he's wrong. He also gets sick a lot and when he does, it's for a long time. When he's sick, he gets impulsive. When he started flaming people, he was out of school sick.

He joined PM because he kept seeing me staring at the PM map, planning a strategy (map games do that to you). He was really excited, but he just didn't understand how complicated it was. I had a feeling he would get mad and quit, but I had no idea he would do anything aggressive like that. CrimsonAssassin 16:55, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

YOUR vendetta against me
You know Yank you have gone beyond trying to co-operate it seems, I have tried to co-operate with you so many times and yet you seem to throw it straight back in my face. You now seem to want to persue banning me with a zeal, and yet you say I have a vendetta against you.

This is a reference to your vigorous attempts to ban me due to your over reaction to my ROLEPLAYING (that being a key word here) and now your recruitment of Lordganon into the posse after LurkerLordB.

Re: Star Trek
I created a page roughly adhering to your suggestions. Who would you propose to play Pike in the 2009 reboot? (I have Tom Brady as Kirk and Adrien Brody as Spock). I was thinking at the end of the reboot, Kirk stages a mutiny and maroons Pike, Chekov and Spock on a planet somewhere, and Pike screams "Kirk!" as the Endeavour flies away to set up a cliffhanger for the sequel.

Re: Lincoln and Doctor Who
I like the idea for Doctor Who, but that would probably happen towards the end of the Anarchy (late 1954 and 1955) once most of England is secured by the Americans and the ERA.

As for the Lincolns, wasn't the death of his younger brothers the impetus for Edward Lincoln to become interested in medicine? I'd say pick which of the two younger Lincoln sons you would prefer to have survive and then kill off the other so that Eddie Lincoln remains inspired to become a doctor. The Grigsby idea is good.

Apalachicola
Hi, Yank. Thanks, I will try to use real people - maybe even kinfolk - to fill in the history of the area. There may be some refugees from Tallahassee and the Panama City Area, but overall it will be folks from the towns around the edge of the forest (minus the corner of it that was damaged by the blast over the capitol (silly to bomb such a small city, but hey, that's what has been written). I put in a map, and I'll work on a synopsis later. Thanks again for putting it out there, I know its been mentioned in discussion before.

I think, though, I will change it from "president" to "governor" since it is hardly plausible that the community there would think of themselves as independent of the rest of Florida or even America. This also follows from the official name of the nation-state -- the State of Apalachicola. I will officially adopt in on the main talk page. SouthWriter 19:43, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, Yank. I noticed you added some new towns to the list for this state. Problem is, they don't exist and I don't see why the survivors would start them. It looks like you have refugees from Athens, Libertyville (Alabama/Neonotia), and the creation of "New" Hooverville" which is somewhat ambiguous since no town named Hooverville actually exists (it's the name for a shantytown based on homeless people in the Hoover administration in OTL). Since I have adopted the article, I am going to remove fictional towns and go with those in existece at Doomsday. Thanks for the reminder to work on the project, though.

Courland, Latgalia, and the New Livonian Order
Okay, as you might have already noticed, I've proposed an article on a group styling themselves after the Livonian Order which is active to the east of Courland. Given that you wrote the Courland article and are in the process of working on another survivour nation in OTL Latvia, I thought that it would be a good idea to ask for your input on the matter so as to avoid stepping on any toes.Tessitore 23:10, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. On one had, neo-feudalism is one of those things that are generally bad, and the NLO are very much a force for good, if a bit odd. Not to mention that the idea of a neo-feudal society that close to the relatively 'modern' Courland seems a bit strange.

On the other, they are pretty much running the area they're in (and doing a pretty good job of it at that). What about a situation where who's 'officially' in charge and who's really in charge are two different things, i.e. Latgalia has a leadership seperate from the NLO which was/is somewhat ineffectual when it comes to actually getting stuff done, leading to the NLO taking up the slack. Tessitore 00:49, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, having had a look at what little there is of the Latgalia article and looking up where Rezekne is on the map, it looks like the Livonians and Latgalia can co-exist without any problems, since Latgalia seems to be in mostly in the Latgale region while the NLO operates in the Vidzeme region which is to north-west of where Latgalia seems to be. So it'd be Courland in the west, Latgalia in the east, and the NLO trying to keep things together in the otherwise uncontrolled area between the two (I wonder if any of them is Ravis *grin*).Tessitore 23:15, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Eh, I was just joking about the Hetalia thing, although there is a group on deviantArt that's focused on Hetalia/1983: Doomsday fanfiction (yes, 1983: Doomsday has reached the stage where people are writing fanfic about it).Tessitore 00:07, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Here's a link: 1983: Doomsday Stories At the moment, it's mostly focused on the Alpines.Tessitore 00:18, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, getting back on topic. I've got up to the Livonians sending an envoy to Courland, so I thought I'd better inquire as to how Courland would react to a group of guys bearing the insignia of the Livonian Order showing up at the border and asking to speak to someone in charge.Tessitore 23:53, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Canada
Hm...


 * Independence date: Ironically... this is pretty much in sync with what I originally thought about (in which French revolutionaries go into exile in America). But as for the independence date, I was thinking much earlier (more like 1809 or something). But I guess 1812 is pretty good.


 * Leader title: Hm.. never heard that, but I am not an expert on the French Revolution (even my history class in High School skipped that chapter [not kidding]). Depends greatly on how far the French Revolution went, and whether Canada (and Louisiana if you also implied to them) want to follow the American system or the "failed" French system.


 * English nationalism: I highly dough there would be any Quebec-styled movement within Canada for the English. When the English took over New France, the French colonists had nowhere to go within America, which helps greatly to why there is such a large French culture still in OTL Canada and Louisiana. In the case for here, the English people who settled in the [then] Province of Quebec (most of which were loyalists from the Thirteen Colonies) had a greater option to leave Quebec, since the British still controlled a large part of the continent. Along with potential anti-English sentiment in Canada following independence, I dough there would be a major English population that would form. While I don't dough there would be an English population, it would be limited (more comparable to the Cajuns in Louisiana).


 * Borealia: I have already settled on the name Borealia for the remaining portions of OTL Canada. I like the name because it "balances" Australia (Borealia=North Land, Australia=South Land). Borealia in that case (and any case) would not be a good name for a province of this nation or Canada.

Hope this helps. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 05:42, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Romanov Alaska
Unfortunately, an earlier Gold Rush really isn't that possible - it's a question of population, overall. Nor would it help the Russians, really, either, considering where most of the Gold was found - in the Yukon. But the Klondike Rush will get them some hard cash, all the same.

A bloodier Civil War would probably have little effect.

Probably the best PoD I can think of would be a simple one. Otl, Secretary of State Seward had to persuade President Johnson to call the Senate back for a special Session the next day, to deal with the Purchase, when it had become obvious that they would not get to it on their own before it adjourned. Simply put, just have him be unable to do so. With all of the impeachment trash going on at the time, it's very likely that the Senate and House are far too busy to do much of anything about Alaska, and the matter drops entirely.

It would only be some of the dynasty. The Emperor, for example, and his immediate family would no doubt still get locked up. But the ancestors of the current claimants, among others, would no doubt have gotten there.

It would likely end up being a sort of British client state, I'd imagine, but would gain a ton of support from the Allies.

Lordganon 03:32, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

One of the biggest reasons otl why no Czar was crowned after the fall of the USSR is that no one could decide on who the claimant actually was. Here, there'd be an obvious answer. Odds would be pretty reasonable, I'd imagine, of a restoration.

It'd likely be more British-influenced - it would start in an era far before the Americans started to have real influence internationally.

The word "Duma" has been used to refer to such bodies in Russia since the era of the Grand Princes of Moscow (1283-1547). Any such body would be called that, no question.

FTBW and Riel's Canada
Heya Yank, it has been a while since we last chatted, but I hope this message finds you well.

Anyway, I'm currently starting to get back into the AH groove, and I have been starting to get more work done on FTBW right now. So, I'm sure your busy with other things right now, but I'm wondering if you would like to give me hand with some things with it? I'm starting to work on Media and Entertainment. However, they will need a lot of work, and I think someone with new ideas will be able to help out adding in some fresher stuff than I can come up with, especially with some.

Also, I do have free time this Tuesday (January 3rd), if you happen to be coming into the city. I wouldn't mind chatting with you in the near future, especially about Reil's Canada, since we have almost done nothing with it since we first talked about it.

That is precisely what I am planning. Itsaygahi has suffered instability before, and there should at least be some form of French Revolution analogue somewhere in the world.

A republic which will attempt to bring more of the Americas under its control. Its failure will lead to another revolution, which will finally establish a democracy which will pootle along quietly in Itsaygahi for the next two hundred years. Mumby 13:04, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Blog deletion
After thinking about it for a good deal of time, I have decided to engage in some heavy-handed administration and deleted your blog post User blog:Yankovic270/Our Very Own "Doctor Jeckyl and Mister Hyde". Regardless of the validity of your concerns, creating a page specifically to attack an individual user was wildly innapropriate and as damaging to the community spirit as the behaviors you complained about. Furthermore, the idea of blog posts dedicated to complaints about individual users set an absolutely dismal precedent. I do not want to see an Althistory Wiki where users take snipes at one another via their blogs. (This was already happening as part of the Comments section was devolving into discussion of your own behavior.)

I believe there would be a power struggle and that could make things interesting.

Well, I don't want to sound nitpicky, but both Yank and I did the article together, so it would have been nice if I were asked as well, but never mind that. I believe the simple idea of it being communist and crazy North Korea-esque is what gives the country something interesting. The whole peaceful cooperation thing has been sort of done to death. Furthermore, there hasn't been any wars in the vicinity, other than their hostility towards the USSR. If anything, they are trying to find as many other governments to fight against Siberia, so, in essence, there is an era of peace and prosperity.--Vladivostok 23:22, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Joint Katangain/ Zambian Military Operation in Angola.
I have an idea for a new section in my Zambia proposal, but it involves Katanga, so I feel that I need your permission before I post it. Anyway, I have noticed that two of the remaining Soviet Kingdoms of Angola are close to the borders of both Katanga and Zambia. Since the Soviet Kingdoms of Angola are petty warlordships, I believe they would try raiding their neighbors on rare occasions. I believe that one day Katanga and Zambia would get tired of the occasional minor raids. So Zambia and Katanga would launch a joint military operation in order to secure their borders from future raiding.Goldwind1 01:58, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

Your Questions
1. Assuming a more or less identical chain of effects (the Three Mile reactor was slightly smaller, but not by much), a 20 mile zone around the plants gets evacuated. Worse, it takes longer than at Chernobyl, because there is no "Three Mile" incident to make it urgent to do so, so more die. This zone, even if some minor variance is taken into account from the difference in reactor size, includes the state capital of Harrisburg, along with several other cities, screwing the state government. At least in Chernobyl, it was mostly swampland - not the case here. And, still worse, unlike at Chernobyl where the effects largely went into sparsely inhabited (relatively) sites, the effects here.... well, the more northern of the major cities on the Atlantic or nearby are going to get it. New York, Boston, Montreal, etc. Expect a massive reduction in nuclear usage.

2. Would be, at most, more of them than otl. I'd expect a more stable Uganda, and a slightly less populous Israel, but little more than that.

3. The timeline you seem to be referring to covers it fairly well, in a lot of ways. The exceptions being the random Chinese stupidity - you should be able to see that for yourself - the speed of effects in the USSR with regards to change, how the "NATO" treaty means exactly nothing, apparently, and how little the massive Chinese advantage in manpower comes into play.

4. Communists come to power in Germany, and otl fascists flee. Events, in a lot of ways, likely play out as in otl. Expect the Soviet-German alliance to last slightly longer, as Hitler has one less plank to use as a reason for war. But, the end result there is the same. Italy joins the Allies, and war probably breaks out sooner.

Lordganon 19:30, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Highly unlikely. Winds go in the opposite direction, and Washington is quite a ways away. To put that into perspective, Kiev is about the same distance, and direction, more or less, from Chernobyl and was not effected by it in any manner of that nature.

As I said, the best you can manage there is a larger minority of the votes at the Zionist movement meetings to go there.

Best, maybe - because most are trash. China could be beaten by all of them without random, ASB, stupidity. Quality, v.s. Quantity.

Spain likely wouldn't join. Austria, need to be taken, at best, like otl. And, as I said, there are many reasons for the Germans and Soviets to still go after each other - and they likely would, sooner rather than later.

Expect a monarchist movement to emerge in the colonies, if the Crown is not restored.

The Clebourne Memorial, quite frankly, is always overinflated in history. That timeline really isn't plausible, and is another Confederate wank, quite frankly.

Lordganon 01:44, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yank, you really need to archive this page, lol. Getting far too long.

Fact of the matter is, Republican Spain wasn't communist, despite what sources will often give off as an impression. And, should it go such a way, you'd have intervention. Add to that the fact that the western powers were far, far, far, far more afraid of communists than fascists otl - hence their slowness to react to the Nazis. Would not roll over so politely, there. As for Austria.... it wasn't a puppet state, not even close. At best, something akin to otl would need to be done there, and likely more - wasn't many left-wing politicians, etc. there then.

Well, I suspect it would take a while. Bet on a few decades, for the atmosphere back home to rub the colonists the wrong way. But yes, a Kingdom of Virginia. I expect, however, that the Bay area colonies - Mass, etc. - would be less likely to do it, barring a ton of royalist refugees. You're correct about the mother country being too busy to do much. As for butterflies..... Well, they aren't likely to get past the Miss~ since they will be weaker. Expect Mexico and whoever has Canada to split the otl American West.

Lordganon 07:39, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

You really aren't going to find another "main" member - not that Spain would have qualified there, anyways, lol. Replace with Romania, and maybe Hungary.

Unlikely that they would have Bermuda. Royalists held a small navy.

At a guess, a kingdom, after French lunacy in France leads to revolts like otl.

The Dutch actually didn't really mind the Swedes. Bet on them staying put. Heck, these guys will probably join forces, to some degree, with the Iroquois.

I suspect that the French would still move into the Miss~ valley. The otl Miss~ purchase would probably end up split between them and Mexico.

Mexico, depends on how things go down. The level of violence, and whether or not there is a revolt, will determine the outcome in that regard.

Agreed on Florida.

Correct with Alaska, and bet on the territory expanding a lot further east.

Lordganon 00:50, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

So long as you remember that, while it would likely last slightly longer, any German-Soviet alliance would still be temporary, and that the war would start earlier.

Agreed on Virginia.

New England, call it a more "sane" and less radical version of Iran.

The northern French state would more than likely either be called "New France" or "Quebec" - lean to the later.

Calling the Dutch Republic a "Republic," despite the name, is not really accurate. Basically, replace the nobles with the merchants, and that's what it was. Though it would be a similar setup.

Given Swedish attitudes, and distance, New Sweden would be something along the lines of otl Canada with regards to its government.

At a guess, I'd say that Louisiana starts out as a monarchy, but moves into being a republic. Call it the increased amount of influence from further south.

As I said, Mexico can go either way. If it's given independence in some form, it would be a monarchy - but if it's done in rebellion, it would be a republic. Neither of which would be under Agustín de Iturbide, unfortunately.

The usage of the word "President" really originates in the English Commonwealth. It's very unlikely that Florida would use it. Something like "Consul" would be more likely.

Communism probably would not emerge here, without the starting influences from in NA. Of course, civil war occurred was more or less going to happen anyways. But it's rather unlikely that the Czar needs to flee anywheres. Bet on, like in New Sweden, something akin to otl Canada in government.

Really, the only reason the Mormons got going on such a scale, is because they settled somewhere no one else wanted. Illinois doesn't fit that, and is too close to the colonies. Something could maybe exist much further inland, but I have to say that in a world where Puritans have more pull, it probably wouldn't emerge at all.

Re: Holy Roman Empire
I take it you read my sandbox. Just to add, I am quite surprised to find out how many people actually read it.

As for the HRE, I am actually making it a centralized entity. From what I have read, the HRE was virtually no different from OTL. So in affect, it seems too likely that Austria and Prussia (not to mention the possibility of an Italian unification) would eventually lead to its collapse/survival. But either way, I believe that "Holy" and "Roman" have to be dropped from the name. There is nothing "Holy" about the region without "Rome" (which is the other thing).

So in short... the HRE will become a centralized entity, but under a new name. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 15:25, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

I did think that was a pretty sweet idea though, and I don't recall there being any AltDest for Romero already.

KingSweden 03:14, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

I think mini-quests would distract from the survival aspect of the game. I'd go with Romero Productions.

KingSweden 01:35, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Or Living Dead Productions. "Studios" implies films solely. "Productions" or "Media" can be a multiplatform media company.

KingSweden 01:43, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Single-player missions in pre-generated towns could make for terrific DLC while keeping the Sandbox function as the main focus of the game. While not traditional MMO, players could "swap" their survivor communities and download maps of towns created by other players that are updated to within 24 hours of download, to avoid realtime edits by original creator. This way, you can choose to share your map through uploading it without having to worry about other players screwing with your work on your personal file.

Federation of Liberia/Monrovia invasion
I'm thinking that the invasion could start on the 14th May with Monrovia moving across the border into Fuamah and Salala Districts and taking approx 10-12 days to take them, do you want to encounter any resistance? let me know and i'll add it in.

In the meantime Nimba/Lofa and the WAU will cross over into Suakoko and Zota Districts at the same time and take 8-10 days to take the area for the Federation.

Within 14-16 days the whole section of invaded territory should be under the control of either Federation/WAU troops or Monrovia troops.

is that all ok? --Smoggy80 16:24, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Liberation of Taiwan
Sure, I haven't gained any physical rewards in the liberation of Taiwan, but it has united my people. They thirst for revenge, revenge for the humiliation that they had gotten, twice from China and Vietnam, and both from trying to take back lands that had been taken unfairly from them. An OTL example would be Hitler and the German people... if you catch my drift. PitaKang- (Talk | Contribs) 15:54, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Ireland in Principia Moderni
Ireland and Scotland were joined together for so long, and the Gaelic languages of those nations are so close today, the extra contact would probably make them speak the same language today. (I assume the Celtic Gaelic language would have won out over the Germanic Scots language in Scotland due to this as well as the fact that it was the Keltic Union). Since Scotland is dominating the union, and no religious differences exist like in OTL, it makes since to me that once Ireland became independent, they would join up with Scotland as one nation again, because the only thing seperating them now is geography, not culture.

I apologize, I have offered them instead an alliance called the Pan Celtic Union, which is nothing more than a treaty organization to protect Celtic-Welsh and Irish interests. Also Wales would like to know if Britain would like an alliance and to join the European Council. You mentioned in an earlier message that I could influence some part of Ireland, do you remember if it was South? I am wondering because my nation would love to expand WITHOUT WAR. Andr3w777 02:26, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

I had hoped to avoid this, but is it possible for Vietnam to send aid to Denmark? Berlin is attempting to get Russia into the mix and you know how that'll go. Also the communists in Wales are gaining some ground in Parliament, if they when this election then we will ratify a long term alliance with Vietnam. Andr3w777 12:16, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

 * I think that both are excelent ideas. The war maybe take place during the 1950's (two decades after the Pacific War and before the Brazilian War).

Did we ever figure out what Idle does in this TL...? Not sure if I remember.

I do remember somebody suggesting he be PM but we had Lennon in his stead, which brings up something I was meaning to point out (a few years too late I'm afraid). In the British/English style of government, Lennon would probably have had to work his way up to the Leadership over a few years before becoming PM... this is why I had him not be Field Marshal during the Scottish Conflict, since he wouldn't have been a sitting MP for even one term before the 1999 English elections. HOWEVER, as a man with military experience, he would have been perfectly positioned as the anti-Tory to criticize the Cleese/Stuart governments' operations in Scotland and Cyrene, at least better than any other potential Labour leader.

Errr... yes, Yank, that more or less is botching it.

Most of the things mentioned in the edits are impossible, such as the TV, atl internet, airships, etc, being in the area. Heck, it claims that 10% of the population has this internet, which makes absolutely no sense.

They claim that towns are abandoned when they are a short distance from one city or the other.

It talks of rail links all the way to North Pennsylvania, and direct relations with Brazil.

It talks of cars being in common use among the wealthy.

It now says that almost all homes have working telephones and radios.

Boat traffic on the river is stated several times, yet this is not a navigable river at all, unless you're in a kayak.

It has them doubling the size at random, saying that they are suddenly more than halfway to Albany, which makes no sense. It also refers to sites as being included in the state that are even further out.

The edits interfere greatly with the New York Rangers article, and indicate that they are at random taking over that area.

They also change things to the exact opposite of what they had said before.

The edits made no sense at all, Yank, as a whole - maybe a quarter were at all reasonable - and sill do not - and that's why I've just undid them again. Have a closer look and you'll see how random they actually are. Was just some New Yorker - the IP traced to there - not making any sense at all.

Re: Republic of New Netherland
Finally, someone to talk NN to. 0.0

Well technically, the New England states ARE part of the US in this timeline. My best guess is that the author put all his efforts securing the continuation of New Netherland, that he didn't look at the butterflies of such an issue. The US even still has 50 states (with the inclusion of Plymouth, Lincoln, Franklin, and PR to fill the missing states). But I chalk this up to him being limited to library books he had to study in the 1980s and '90s, instead of the wondrous internet that you and I take for granted today.

But I am really glad you brought this up. I have been wanting to write a blog dedicated to his timeline, as well as giving my opinions on it. This would have included the fact that New England (yes) would probably be independent from the US, but due as much to the cultural differences than simply having a country dividing them (but made worse because of which). I have also been questioning the issue of slavery in this USA, since Pennsylvania would be the only free state (until you count any future states). However (not being an expert on the period), I wouldn't know where to start on the matter.

As for adopting and adapting this timeline for this wiki... I love it. I would truly hope that you would allow me to be part of this venture.

A thought I had: do you think James Bond would be more interesting if he WASN'T American? He could have been Oceanian (which is where so many Brits fled anyways in OTL), and been played by George Lazenby, Sam Neill, Mel Gibson and now Hugh Jackman. I dunno who to put in the 1960s though, and I think giving James Brolin a turn as Bond in the 1980s could be interesting since he was actually hired for the part at one time.

Your thoughts?

KingSweden (talk) 22:39, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Alaskan KGB or Churat (NW KGB equivalent)? I've never been a fan of the theory that they are all different Bonds (though I can see, based on when each actor's movies cut off, why people would come up with that).

I read (on Cracked, obviously) that originally the Wajchowski brothers (spelling?) were going to do a single sequel, THEN a prequel. So the sequel they were going to make got stretched out into the bizarre Reloaded and (from what I hear, never seen it) the awful Revolutions. Since it's your idea, I'll let you flesh that out, but it could be cool to combine your fantheory ideas with their idea to have the Matrix, a sequel then a prequel.

Here is another one where the Vietnamese background is replaced with an English red. Which one do you prefer? :D Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:12, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

I'll try my best, lol! BTW, I've crunched the numbers, and we'll win if you join our side (otherwise it would be a boring draw!). :D Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:20, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I have 3 flags ready. The Nipponese and Dutch merger is not very interesting, however! They don't really have much of a complex design.

Here is one with the normal Dutch flag and Nipponese circle:

Then there is one with the circle in Dutch Orange, so it is a bit more intersting:

Well, there is also a flag where the background colours are a little brighter:

So which one do you think is the best out of all three of these flags? :D Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:42, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know what your issue is with me, but stooping as low as far as comparing me to Scan and Kun? That is a true insult, Yank. I don't give a crap about the status of the two nations, I am uniting the Nordic Catholic peoples. And I am not a warmonger. If I was, I would annex all of Hanover. I am taking what is historically mine, culturally mine, and ethnically mine. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 22:55, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Apology accepted. I now realize that my wording was a bit harsh, so I apologize if you're offended.

However, I fear it is too late to do that now, and that Nippon and Bharat are using that as a scapegoat to start their Europe-Asia War. And their reasoning is basically a load of bull. Apparently they have it in their minds that I'm gonna annex Hanover. Also, what would be Hanover's motive? It's not ten, no sovereignty threatened, so what would it be? It has kept me from making the algorithm since last night. (Here in New York, that is.)

Meh, it's okay, you can take the issue off your mind.

And I calculated my stability as 135: Is this right?
 * Population: 9 digit (235,469,873)
 * Time:
 * Years ruled: 80
 * 80/10 equals 8
 * 8^1.25/1.25^8 = 5.9.......................rounded up to 6
 * 6 times 9 times 2.5 equals 135

Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:12, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Yep. One spark. That's all it takes. An excuse, really.

Also, if you don't want Wales to annex Britain, I strnogly advise you to sit out because the European numbers win, mostly due to my skillful propaganda. I convinced half of Europe and Africa to join our side. So, in other words, if you join the war, all of Britain goes to Wales and Alaska goes to Russia.

Also, you guys have lost any chance of winning because Crim decided that China and Dongfang will not be in the war. Also you guys will only win if Collie joins you fellows. If he doesn't, y'all are screwed really bad. It's not a small margin. It's a huge one.

Inca in PMII
Hey Yank,

As you may or may not know I am remaking the PMII map. I am sorry to inform you that the Incan Empire is VASTLY oversized for this time. About half your territory should be black and the remaining half is split into several smaller kingdoms and nations. However most of these can be conquered by diplomacy and you may become that size by about the early 1500s as you still are the most powerful nation in South America in 1450, and controll the breadbasket region of Lake Titicaca.

Second Mexican Empire
If Juarez had been killed, someone else would have come to the forefront at some point and done the task. Between the majority not wanting the Emperor, and the American government, it's more or less going to happen.

No way to legitimize the man more than in otl - he adopted some Mexican ways, and even took the legitimate claimant to the throne, and the next in line after that, and adopted them, naming the better claim, Agustín, as his heir.

For the second to survive, you need to remove the Americans from the picture somewhat - and even that doesn't assure it, and is only a patch on the problem. The Mexicans, with US backing, will eventually do it irregardless.

Lordganon (talk) 00:09, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

Really wouldn't call California "independent." Was for all of a week, and the Mexicans could have put that one down easily. Nor would it have happened had war with the US not been imminent. Heck, by the time of the revolt, it had already been declared.

And war with Mexico was just a matter of when, not where, or how. Their interests coming into conflict was going to happen irregardless of Texas. In such a war, the southwest goes to the USA every time.

Even if California and Texas somehow managed that, the USA could still get both - they would still have a Pacific coastline.

Russia would not hold onto Alaska, most likely. Couldn't afford it.

Nor would Hawaii stay independent - it would end up like the other south Pacific nations, under British protection.

If the USA has only the Oregon territory, bet on the Brits getting both, however.

Lordganon (talk) 01:05, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

Not really possible with a different commander. The Dutch post was out-shot, outgunned, outnumbered, and had pretty bad defenses. Different commander would not do much to help any of those factors.

All the Dutch need to do to keep the colony is ask for it back in the war they lost it in. Really, in most ways, they won that one. Or they could ask for it back in the next one.

What would happen.... one of two things. Either it joins some sort of USA in some form, or is an independent city-state. Expect an easier American Revolution.

Lordganon (talk) 04:05, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

...That's not really very possible, Yank. Virtually all of that is very expensive, and far beyond the ability of the governor to accomplish or order. Would also bankrupt the Dutch West India Company if they tried. There's a reason why it didn't happen otl. Lordganon (talk) 08:44, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

SDL
The SDL would intervene if you want to totally conquer Algeria, but you could take some land from them as long as you left the main state intact. If you got over 33.33%, you wouldn't be able to make them a puppet state, but their government would still collapse, so a new state would rise nonetheless, and you would still get territory. So basically, war as normal, with your stated goals being to only take some land, and hope you hit them enough to destabilize them to collapse on their own. Then, of course, a civil disarray state could easily be stabilized by a kindly neighbor... LurkerLordB (Talk) 00:57, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

PMII Nation
Well technically you can't take the Ottomans since Dean has his name there. So I would recomend the Mamluks, however with the huge number of christian nations any large Muslim nation is at threat of getting owned. In regards to a tribe, you with gain a lot more land to expand into but at the cost of retarded technological and industrial growth. You will not get nukes and you will be essentially the equivalent of most 3rd world nations today by the end of the map game with little regional let alone global influence. My true opinion is you should challenge RWG for France as the noble house of Borboun or also enter the HRE as the Palatinate (elector) or maybe join as the Loki dynasty in India or the White Shhep Turks in Mesopotamia or join as the Jurchen in Manchuria if you what a tribe with any chance of becoming a superpower or you could risk the Mamluks and a probable crusade... Scandinator (talk) 23:52, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

KingSweden (talk) 06:02, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Tangierian-Algierian War
Yep your right about the coup stuff, but your algorithm formula is only for the time aspect, it should be 0.10^1.25/1.25^0.10 and then taking the answer for that and going multiplying it by 2.5 and then multiplying that by y. With y being the amount of digits in your population e.g. if its in the 10s of millions then y = 8 because there are 8 digits in 10,000,000.

So if we assume Algeria was a population in the 10s of millions, then the algorithm would be (0.10^1.25/1.25^0.10)*2.5*8. We then solve this, the quickest way to do so being to just copy & paste the formula into google search and then we get

((0.10^1.25) / (1.25^0.10)) * 2.5 * 8 = 1.09986401802

As for an NPC's stability, we just use a random number generator to get us a figure between 1-10 to use as the NPC's chance score. Also if you ever forget any thing like date of the last government change, just go looking through the past posts to find it. A helpful tip is to use the find function ( ctrl-f ) and use the country name to quickly sort through the past posts. Hope this helps --VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 10:01, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Venice
Venice has no reason to declare its independence from Italy, they are totally homogenized. Corsica was the same way too, an ASB breakaway, but I let that happen. I clearly established when I had lots of northern Italy break away that those were the only areas of significant cultural difference (Waldensian, not Catholic). Anything else breaking away was implausible, you are lucky I decided not to start a fight and let the ASB Corsican breakaway occur. There is a line between having realistic micronationalism and having revolts for the sake of revolts, which I feel that you have crossed with many of your events, such as the break-up of the Chinese north American colony and the break-ups of Greece and Germany. For nationalism to occur there needs to be a distinct nation, people don't just randomly declare independence. LurkerLordB (Talk) 21:47, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

USAR (1983: Doomsday)
But the thing is that the Virgin Islands aren't independent, as the USAR is an country made up of not only the Virgin Islands, but of other Caribbean Islands and parts of Puerto Rico.

A better way to word the sentence would be "The Virginians simply call them the "Virgin Islands", as other nations refer to them as such, but to declare them the "United Republic of the Virgin Islands" implies that there is some movement among the VI for a separate nation from the USAR. And the USAR is not a full member on the ECF as they maintain their own military.

Arstar talk 00:41, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Japanese Christianity
Not impossible that a separate Japanese Church gets established, but it's highly doubtful.

Those Japanese who had converted prior to the 1900s became mostly Catholic - most other converts were, in fact, after WWII.

The Catholic Church really doesn't lend to new churches forming - that's more of a Protestant thing.

Really, any such Church would be a Protestant offshoot, one of many - the effect would be little. It'd still have only a tiny amount of members.

Effects, overall, would be almost nothing.

Lordganon (talk) 02:00, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Diseases
Really, the only one that could cause that is a version of "superflu." Similar to the Spanish flu pandemic, or a more lethal version of the avian/swine flus.

The release of a biological weapon.... not really. In a widespread area? Sure. On anything like a global basis? No.

Lordganon (talk) 03:05, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it really would be pretty ASB.

When the Black Death went through Europe, it did miss large areas entirely, largely due to the disease running its course, distance, terrain, and quarantines. However....

That being said, even with the large death rates from the "Death," almost no governments collapsed from it.

A disease on a scale to cause even more deaths would not leave anywhere unscathed. And most, if not all, authority would collapse.

Overall, there's no real way a disease could have that effect.

Now, could you have one that topples governments? Sure. But it's going to hit everywhere.

Batman
Idk about a spinoff (Two-Face is a villain, after all, and back in the 90s they didn't exactly make the morally complex superhero films they do now), but you could roll with that, scrap the Penguin in the sequel and have Batman's status as vigilante threatened by the more compulsively violent Two-Face and make him (as well as Dent) question whether his role in society is actual justice. Maybe include Catwoman in Returns as the female lead.

Then you could switch out Two-Face for a different villain in Forever, while making Forever a bomb that led to the hiatus of the series until Batman vs. Superman.

I really have to doubt it would be possible, Yank. You're talking about dozens of little settlements, with only a few hundred people in them at most.

Lordganon (talk) 03:36, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Yank, one problem with any of that - only a single one of those communities isn't inside of either Blue Ridge or the Republic of the Inner Banks by this point. Has a few hundred people in it, and is nowhere near any of the others to begin with, or Virginia for that matter.

Was hoping to avoid having to tell you that one.
