I do figure that the poll is legit, though those that voted probably held no understanding of the matter.

As when I voted against it originally, I have to doubt that they would ever rejoin.

The attitude evident in the area can be shown by the outright refusal to hold the 1991 referendum speaks for itself, in my mind. The voting in Armenia that did go on was also almost 30% against it - not even in the Baltic (admittedly, that was mostly Russians voting, but I believe it would have been the same in Armenia) was the "no" vote that big of a percentage.

But, besides that, Armenia atl would be much better off than in otl. They have no war to fight, or occupation to deal with. Nor would they be treated internationally like that are otl (well, besides Turkey - that genocide would be a little hard to forgive). Basically, it will/would avoid all of the problems they faced in the 1990s.

As I've said before - I think - Armenia may ally with them in some form, probably merely hosting radars, etc. for the USSR, but anything past that is probably unlikely.

Ignoring all of that, Georgia....

Armenians at least view Russia favorably - the Russians, through history helped/aided/protected/freed them. Georgians, however are the opposite - they were not freed, bu effectively conquered. People tend to not forget that. Them rejoining is really just not going to happen.

Well, as you surely noticed, that 1992 state was a complete work of fiction by the Armenians.

The problem with the Kurds, even compared to the Crimeans, is that almost none of them lived there. At least the Crimeans made up part of the population in Crimea in 1992 worth mentioning, and in addition to that they had a organization/structure ongoing in exile so they could really start returning. Most groups were so diluted that this was difficult - the Kurds are one of the more extreme cases - but the Crimeans, among a few others, were not.

The Kurds returning is one that could happen eventually, but..... not anytime soon.

Sorry
Sorry about my actions when I was talking about the Nasser of Arabia timeline (the part I called LG in). I never meant to hurt your feelings nor harass you. RandomWriterGuy 16:24, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Confused
I kinda looked at the flag you added (I look at every one added), and I think there could be a cresent there. Just me thoughts. :D Imperium Guy 22:21, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

UAR State Flags
I got some flags for a few of your UAR Republics:

Now I want to list of few things: Enjoy! RandomWriterGuy 23:02, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) These pictures I did not create. They came from the internet (but I was not able to find one for Wahat though)
 * 2) You don't have to accept these flags. It's just a suggestion.

Re:re:UAR Flags
Apparently, all I did was type the words Saoura and Khaleej (not together lol) and that was what I got. RandomWriterGuy 01:44, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

Google Images, nothing else more simple. RandomWriterGuy 02:23, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

For the UAR flag, there was no cresent. Most muslim countries in the Middle East and Maghreb have a cresent in their flag. :D Imperium Guy 10:42, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

RWG
Thought you should know that I've blocked him again, for more of the same. He really just fails to get the point, you know? Lordganon 20:30, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

As I said, entirely fails to get the point. Sigh.... Lordganon 07:45, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

Map?
Here's a map which you could use for the nations of Venus thing maybe? Its mainly had the colours changed!! :D Imperium Guy 22:50, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

Oops, my bad. See, I'm forgetful + stupid (not a good combination and I'm only 13), I get your point, loud and clear. However, I would just like to ask about the deletion of the FSI, New Florida and Leda maps, I thought they were fine. :/ BTW, do you think I got this right? :D Imperium Guy 21:57, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Ok. I could try and get my point across but its your timeline and its up to you. Well, I have nothing else to say. Imperium Guy 16:29, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

I know
I know you are (really) pissed off at me but I need to ask you think because you know more about communist countries than anyone else I've met on this wiki. How many African countries were communist or aligned with communists in the golden days of communism? Imperium Guy 16:33, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Clarification
Thank for asking me again. I herbye pronounce you caretaker of this entire timeline and all things thereof related to this timeline. If there is anything else you need please ask. Bobalugee1940 21:22, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Deleting Pages
Saw you deleted the one page earlier - nice to see someone else do it, lol - and I figured I'd let you know that we're really supposed to wait three days after the tag is added, unless it's really offensive or something, before we delete pages. Lordganon 08:13, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

No worries, Nuke. Perfectly fine, lol. Think it's the first one you've ever done, anyways xD Lordganon 09:55, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

13FS
Hey Nuke, I just wanted to let you know that if you need any help with the Canadian part of the timeline, I'd be glad to help. Also, were you thinking of keeping the flag of remnant-Canada as it is on the Canada article? I've got a few ideas for one but it is your timeline so if you don't want to hear it that's perfectly fine. :P ChrisL123 20:42, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Aha, it's fine I just thought you didn't see it. And I guess you misunderstood, heh, by "Canada" I meant TTL "Borealia," I just didn't know what you were going to call it before you changed the map. But if you already made one that's fine. ChrisL123 21:51, December 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's all good, I've been busy myself. And oh gosh, is it really? LOL I thought it was a wiki-wide thing, I feel so bad now. I used it in my new timeline too, heh. If you want me to remove it that's perfectly fine.


 * Second thing, that works perfectly fine actually. I looked over the names that Canada would have used instead of Canada and they were downright terrible, Borealia works perfectly. I, unfortunately, won't be able to help out on 13FS for a little while, until this Christmas rush is over and all. But good luck on it (and RWG, for that matter). ChrisL123 03:07, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Nuke, Please Listen
Please forgive me. I was not trying to harass you, but somehow, what I did what I thought was not harrassing was harrassing. Because of the troubles, I do not think I should work with you anymore because everytime I contribute, trouble always comes. This has been proven for days before my ban.
 * 1) Sorry about those ideas. By the way, you were never like this before. One time, when I gave a few ASB ideas (Pashtunistan, Christianity, NATO and CSTO, etc.), you were n't even angry at all. Why have you changed?
 * 2) I did not work on the timeline. I was letting you take the lead. Beside, I was just backing you up.
 * 3) Sorry about that. The reason I did it was because you greatly relied on LG for help, so I thought I bring help over.
 * 4) Forgive me. It was an honest mistake.
 * 5) Sorry. I did not know I was not allowed to do that. (At least you could have put a notice there, especially in the culture section of the Soviet Union page in the New Union).

Canada (13 Fallen States)
I have some ideas for the nation of Canada in 13 Fallen States. --Yank 01:04, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Independance Date- since one of the side effects of the POD was that the French Revolution failed, the would-be revolutionaries would flee into exile into Canada and Louisiana in around 1798 (after the TTL successful counter-revolution). They would ferment resistance in the colonies, culminating in the Second French Revolution of 1812.
 * Leader Title- I'm partial to calling the Canadian leader the First Consul, which was what the last semi-democratic leader was called before Napoleon and the Bourbon restoration.
 * English Nationalism- I like the idea of there being an "English Nationalist" movement, similar to the OTL Quebec sovereignty movement of OTL. Presumably it would be in a province closest to the nation of Norland/Vesperia (because I don't like reusing names). It would be appropriate if Borealia was instead the name of the province in question, and of the proposed independant state.

I guess the idea does seem silly when you really think about it. Then why don't we directly copy the Cajuns? Where did the majority of British settlers to Canada come from? Because we can use that to create a corrupted community name like how Cajun was a corruption of "Acadian". They'll have their own distinct form of English, as well as a uniquely accented form of French.

Happy Birthday Nuke! =) Lordganon 07:01, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

New Union
A new user made a proposal for this timeline, Nuke. Thought you'd like to know, if you didn't see it already.

Here it is.

13 Fallen Stars
I gave your timeline a POD, I hope its allright:

1787: Bitter Britsh Loyalists take matters into there own hands and assassinate George Washington on the way to the Convention from his temporary residence in Philideplhia. The Convention falls apart as Washington is not their to keep it together and help compromise on certain issues. With the hopes of a United America under one strong constitution, the states begin to rip at eachother in the Articles of Confederation based Congress, causing tensions between some of the states and eventualy leading to the "United States" collpase a few years later.

hope you find it acceptable

Opinion about Russian America (PP)
Hi Nuc, how are you? :) I want to ask some things about the Russian America for my TL in the spanish wikia Presidente Portales. In this timeline, as result of the changes in the US wars during the XIX Century (Mexico and the CSA), the Russian Empire not sell Alaska to the US. As by this time, Russia and UK are enemies for his conflicts in Asia, Alaska is not sold to Canada-UK either. So, the territory remains under Russian control and his colonization continues, now supported by the new Mexican trade in California. I have been inspiring in your history for make this, despite the POD is in different years obviously. jeje However, i have a doubts about the borders of the russian alaska and how far can expand in the northwest of North America. What thinks? Regards! --Katholico 19:26, January 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm glad, yes, i'm fine too.
 * Ups, I believe that I should have warned you about some things before you should read jejeje Sorry
 * I'm going to try to explain each one:


 * You see, originally i had several ideas, but now i'm reconsidering a couple of them. One of this is the US collapse jeje (too much ASB maybe). Now, for the moment, only i have decided that the US will end divided in the civil war, and both countries (USA and CSA) will be reduced to the east coast.
 * For the UK, well, yes, i have the idea that the country will become into an republic, but this during the XX Century, after the WWI. The idea is that after the first world war, the UK fall into an civil war and end divided into 4 or 5 indepedent republics (England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and/or Northern Ireland), with the others domains in the world also gain his independence, and possibly one of them, become in the new home of the Royal Family. I'm searching OTL events like the Easter Rising to make this possible, but the development and the consequences of the WWI from my TL should be a factor to provoke this. I don't know if need change something in the XIX century for.
 * About Mexico annexing Lousiana, well, at the end of the last century, yes, Mexico should achieve the Mississippi river and Canadian border. jeje This was my original idea, and as i say before, the USA/CSA would reduce to the east. But i need work in the reasons.
 * About the russian expansion to south, well, my TL's POD is 1838, so, by this time i think that Fort Ross was already sold. The between US and UK was signed in 1846, at the beginning of the war with Mexico, so, probably will be signed anyway in my TL, and the US would have a exit to the Pacific. This, at least that Mexico also demands Oregon when win the war? What thinks? Still, the Russian expansion could continues to other side?


 * Thanks for you help. --Katholico 22:28, January 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * XD jeje
 * Thanks, but, first, I think that I need to apologize to you, because I didn't explain well some things. Sorry :(.
 * The Mexico expansion to the Mississipi is NOT during the war of 1846... is LATER, during the XX Century, but despite that is one of my original ideas, needs to be VERY worked. I mean, i don't know yet how this should happen... during the world wars or another war, i don't know yet. :/
 * During the mexican-america of 1846, Mexico only annexed from the US, Texas and some little land in Oklahoma maybe (by this time the Indian Territory, right?). And now, following your suggestion, the Oregón territory also might be annexed.
 * For the CSA, well, in fact, i discussed a lot about this with SouthWritter, and we reach a some answers for the situation: With No California and Texas, the slavery expansion and discussion is moved to the northwest, to the "Unrecognized Territory", which here should be colonized early. Also, the civil war will be postponed at least to the 1868, due to 2 things:


 * Some changes in the presidents (Lincoln in 1864)
 * A unofficial conflict between US-Mexico in the larger borders (skirmishes), which forced to Lincoln's administration to militarize the border states (specially the southerners) for a time.


 * A time after the situation end (during the beginning of the Lincoln's second term), the civil war break out. About Virginia and Robert E. Lee, yes, we discuss his destiny. At the end, given the possibilities that an ATL offers, i took a decision that Virginia seceded like OTL, Lee assume the command to the south army until his death in 1870, but the other southern generals continues with some success his campaigns achieving finally a ceasefire and CSA become fully independents. Also, the CSA recieves support from Mexico, due to the previous danger mexican-US tensions. (however, Why exactly you says that Mexico hated the CSA???)
 * No problem with that you write your thoughts :D I really liked your idea about Russia and Mexico. And the alaskian expasion during the UK collapse also seems to me perfect. Thanks ver much for your help. :) Regards! --Katholico 05:07, January 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh i understand. No problem, for the next time I must explains much better. ^_^U
 * About the russian ideas, maybe i have an little doubts. In OTL Fort Ross was sold to John Sutter. For your idea Russia should sold to Sutter or directly to the Mexican governmet?
 * Also, i can ask if you can modify a little this US electoral map for my TL? I mean, only if you have time. Thanks very much. Regards! --Katholico 05:49, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Electoral Maps

 * No Problem ;) I really appreciate your disposition to help me. Well, as the map should be post-US/Mexican war, i want erase the southwest territories (from Texas to California) and Oregon. And for the election itself, change the Taylor name for Henry Clay. I think that distribution of votes should be the same at OTL (win Clay). Thanks again! --Katholico 06:17, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * NICE! I must say that your habilities with the maps are awesome :D Thanks very much! By the way, i think that for my TL some states might be formed early. What thinks you? Regards! --Katholico 06:36, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Nuc! I can ask you if you please can make some electoral maps more for my TL? There is 2:


 * 1852: With James Buchanan instead Franklin Pierce; Kansas and Nebraska as territories. The rest is the same.
 * 1856: President Buchanan defeat to John McLean; Minnesota become as State (with his OTL size) and votes for McLean. Iowa votes for Buchanan instead McLean.The rest is the same.
 * Thanks for you disposition. Regards! Katholico 20:44, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * OKI, No problem. Really thanks for you disposition :D Any doubt let me know. --Katholico 18:44, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Supreme Soviet
How do you do the pictures for the Supreme Soviet seat representation? Freedemocracy95 00:53, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

I like it alright!! :D
First of all, I'm so happy :'D I do hope the same, so here we go :)

To the topic, I like it, the flags are good and I think the revisions are good, but I find less people enjoying the Venusian Haven. Oh well, lol. Leda might also need to be looked at because of the population. The Indian colony, they would go with the Soviets over the British. If you think about it, one one hand they have their former rulers and on the other, their trading and arms partner. You were right on that one!

In other things, I would like to ask: Thank you for things that I like :D Imperium Guy 19:42, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Can I upload suitable flags and CoAs (if I manage to make them) for colonies?
 * Could New Saigon be a regional "Indochinese" project with Soviet aid (as I am pretty sure one of those two countries was/is communist)?

BTW, if there is an Indian colony, they would probably call it Naya (New) Hindustan or Naya Bharat rather than New India as it would be more original, I would say. I'll tell you of other name candidates when I think about them! ;D Imperium Guy 10:43, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Hope I'm not peserting you (like I usually do), but I think I have some alternate flags for New Scotland that I thought you might like. One of them is the traditional Rampart Lion used in the Scotland football games and the other one is more of a Celtic influence, if New Scotland is more Celtic and allows Irish immigrants. I would like your feedback if that is ok with you. :D Imperium Guy 14:16, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Future Answer
Talk pages, anything goes.

Heck, so long as it is an article that is not explicitly about a future event - i.e. is only speculation in the atl, or about things scheduled to happen, it's fine to write about it. I mean, there's three "2012 Presidential Election" articles that I know of off the top of my head right now, lol.\

Questions about New Union
Questions about New Union (Don't know if your the main author.) Anyways, I've just looked at it, knew about it, just haven't had time to get to it. Anyways, may I ask an few questions (Sorry if you've already discuss them on the talk page of New Union). Here they are: Thanks, and hope you get back. Enclavehunter 01:39, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Is Osama Bin Laden dead?
 * 2) Does the late-2000's recession occur?
 * 3) How does this affect the foreign policy of the United States?
 * 4) Does Greece go bankrupt?

Weird America maps
I've just started to do a bit more work on my Weird America timeline and I need some flags so I wonder if I could ask you for some help. At the moment I have two nations without flags Verence71 18:17, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * British North America (an overarching title for British posession in north America)
 * Republic of Texarkana (made up from Texas, Louisana and Arkansas, states that seceeded from the US)

My apologies for the percieved bluntness of the previous message. Part of my mind was elsewhere when writing it.

As for your proposed name change for my Russian America, I had actually thought about changing it to California but I had some difficulty in finding out what that would be in Russian (using both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets)
