  1. WI/AHC: Standard Italian based off North Italian dialects

    OTL, Dante's influence in bringing up the issues of a common Italian literary language and the influence of Florentine writers like Dante, but also Petrarca and Boccaccio resulted in the slow but sure acceptance of the Tuscan dialect of Italian as the standard form of the Italian language...

  2. WI: Spanish Romance without Arabic Invasion

    One of the interesting linguistic PoDs that I usually think of, as a Spaniard, is what a Spain-based romance language might look like without the Arabic invasion of 711. Off the top of my head, toponyms, terms for agriculture and foodstuff and a few expression would obviously differ. But I am...

  3. AHC/WI: Alternate Successor to Adenauer?

    In 1963, Konrad Adenauer was succeeded as West German Chancellor by Ludwig Erhardt. Erhardt had been Adenauer's successful Economy Minister since 1949, and was seen as the father of the German economic miracle of the post-war era. He was also far more anglophile and anti-EEC, francophobe than...

  4. FPTP Spain Attempt

    Largely inspired by @Utgard96 own project for Sweden as well as some desire to try this out for quite some time. I have decided to try and proceed with showing Spain under a FPTP (majoritarian, uninominal, single winner) system. While I doubt I can finish it due to lack of available information...

  5. Making a map equirectangular

    Hey guys! This is a question for those more able than myself at mapmaking beyond connecting vector dots. I'm trying to turn a map that is 3588x2000 pixels into an equirectangular one (4000x2000 or 3588x1794), so that a friend can do some magic mapping on it. But I honestly have no idea about...

  6. AHC: Surviving Dalmatian language

    With a PoD from the 12th-13th centuries onward, manage to make the Dalmatian language, which died off in the 19th century, survive into the 21st century. It doesn't have to a thriving language, if it's a small isolated language like Romansh nowadays it also works. I imagine its survival...

  7. Memorias de Nuestros Padres (2.0)

    *** Yo repito a menudo que en España está ocurriendo un fenómeno muy grave: las cosas entran por el oído, se expulsan por la boca y no pasan nunca por el cerebro... casi nunca pasan por la reflexión previa. I often repeat that a very grave phenomenon is taking place in Spain: Things enter...

  8. WI: No big Poujadist breakthrough in 1956

    Poujadisme was a right-wing populist movement that appeared in France first in 1953 as an anti-tax, anti-economic modernisation movement led by Pierre Poujade and very popular in the south and the west of France, essentially the parts left behind in the country's spectacular economic...

  9. Criteria for the French departments

    I have been trying for some time to look into the criteria used in 1790 for the creation of the departments. I know that the main one was to end the complicated system of provinces, généralités and various pays with strong regional identities and various and complicated degrees of autonomy from...

  10. 1778 Massachusetts constitutional draft

    This is not so much an AHC nor a WI. I'm largely trying to find information on the 1778 draft for the Massachusetts constitution that failed to be approved by the state's population. However, the link provided for in Wikipedia does not work and so I was wondering if anyone might know where I...

  11. TLIAW: Memorias de nuestros padres

    Memorias de nuestros padres - A Spanish TLIAW *** So you're shamelessly copying Goldstein and Dr. Strangelove? Yes. But I have a fancy header!! Do you really think a black-and-white cluttered header makes up for jumping on the bandwagon and then stealing the internal monologue thingy? ... I...

  12. Helping with fake topography

    Hello reader, So, I have a Nationstates country, called Berry. In any case, for quite some time now, I have wanted to design a proper topographic and rivers (all that geography nonsense, I'd be happy to have a country made up of a parliament and political cleavages, but what can you do), but I...

  13. Without French Revolution, would mediatisation occur?

    OTL, Napoleon decided that, after the abolition of the HRE, in order to compensate the German prices that had lost territories west of the Rhine should be compensated by abolishing the various independent religious states as well as by merging the hundreds of polities within the HRE into a more...

  14. WI: Edward VII lives longer

    I was doing some digging and interestingly this isn't a question frequently asked, but it's interesting given the political conjuncture of Britain when he passed away. OTL, Edward VII died in 1910, being 68 so not that old in the middle of a constitutional crisis after the January 1910...

  15. WI: Alfonso XIII dies in 1902

    So, as with so many other attempts at killing people, in 1906, an anarchist almost killed Alfonso XIII and her bride on their way to the Royal Palace from church as they paraded around Madrid. OTL, he failed, although he did manage to kill some people, but both groom and bride survived intact...

  16. AHC: Spanish Romance without Muslim Invasion

    The invasion of the Muslim in 711 and the conquest of the Peninsula meant that OTL the development of the Spanish romance languages took place not in the most populated regions of the south or in the traditional Visigothic capital of Toledo, but in the more mountainous, less densely populated...

  17. WI: Stalin dies a year later

    As the tin says, what could happen if Stalin, instead of dying on March 1953, dies on early 1954. What could the consequences of that in the Cold War? Perhaps a longer Korean War?

  18. WI: Indochina War is internationalised like the Korean War

    In March 1953, a large and very successful Vietminh drove a new front in Laos and almost conquered Lao's capital. This prompted the King of Laos as well as the French government (as Laos was an associated state), to consider asking the UN to help out like the Koreans did in the Korean War only 3...

  19. WI/AHC: Bigger Argentina

    How would it be possible for the Argentinian revolutionaries to, during and after their war of independence against Spain to keep the Banda Oriental and/or the Intendencia del Paraguay? What would be the consequences of this? A less powerful Buenos Aires over the rest of the federation? The...

  20. AHC: Save Wallonia

    Nowadays, driving through Wallonia (or Belgium in general) can be quite the daunting feat, cities that used to be important industrial centres like Liège have maintained very high (even Spanish-level) unemployment rates for a long time and arguably the economic dependence of the region from...
