    Threadmarks: Introduction

    First thread Second thread Based on @XO Maenadicus and @DPKdebator's map series where members can keep track on where they've lived/traveled over the course of their lives. The rules are basic: Simply copy the map in the next post, and use the color code to show where you've been over the...

    Queen Anne's War WI: France kicked out of North America

    A while ago, @Sevarics posted a thread asking what might have happened had the French had been kicked out of North America (mainly Canada, Acadia, and Louisiana). It has since withered on the vine, so I'll ask this question again. Assume the British have a few more ships to spare from their...

    WI: No Acadian Expulsion, but OTL Canada joins the Revolution

    Basically the successor to this. Suppose there are two PoDs: 1) There is no Acadian Expulsion, and thus the Francophone inhabitants of Nova Scotia are not dispersed (mainly to Louisiana) 2) Quebec somehow manages to side with the revolutionaries (either Guy Carleton is somehow killed or...

    Lawrence's Legacy - A Map-Game based Con-World

    A while back, I started a map-game in the Shared Worlds forum with a common point of divergence somewhere during the Seven Years' War. Starting with Charles Lawrence (the British general who in our world would be responsible for the Expulsion of the Acadians) going mad with power and eventually...

    American Commonwealth 2.0 (A Collaborative Map Series)

    Oh, great. Another collaborative map series. What's it about? American Commonwealth was a project by @lord caedus which had a surviving British North America which encompassed both the U.S. and Canada, which then evolved into its own universe. It became a massive inspiration for many to come up...

    Effect on US!Nova Scotia/Quebec with no Grand Dérangement

    Exactly what it says on the tin. Assuming there is no Expulsion of the Acadians and Nova Scotia (as well as all of OTL's Canada) is overrun and is ceded to the U.S. in the Revolution. How might the effect of an expanded francophone population concentrated in the Northeast) might do to both...

    A More Aulesian Britain (and Ireland): A Collaboration

    Hi, I'm back with another collaboration thread (that hopefully won't go by the wayside) Really?! Really. So what's it all about? I have a nation on NationStates (the Aulesian Federation) that in my view has an interesting background, politics, government, and lifestyle (basically what...

    DBWI: Surviving Roman and Chinese Empires

    As you know, both the Roman and Chinese Empire had been vast civilizations that spanned large parts of the known world. But by the end of the 400s (in Rome) and the Han era (in China), both empires had largely disintegrated and have not been unified since (though some attempts were made at...

    Consequences of a surviving Byzantine Empire on the Reformation

    Exactly what it says on the tin. Say one way or another, the Byzantine Empire manages to survive and thrive (maybe the Turks get routed at Manzikert, or one Turkish dynasty (ie Ottomans) convert, take over Constantinople, and expand, or something). How does the consequences of a surviving...

    Collaboration - French Presidential Elections by (traditional) Province, 2017

    Yeah, exactly what it says on the tin. Basically, when I found a couple of links that show the map of the traditional provinces at the communal level, I wondered whether you can make a map showing the results (for both rounds*) of this year's presidential election by the traditional provinces...

    American Rev. WI: British forces enact "War to the Death"

    Full info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decree_of_War_to_the_Death Premise is what it says on the tin (inspired by the whole "1777 Boston Burning thread) What if early on, the British forces in America decided to enact a "War to the Death" strategy (as well as scorched-earth tactics, no...

    A Different Reality - A TL series in Maps and Graphics

    This is where I begin posting the countless maps, flags, logos, wikiboxes, and other graphics of A Different Reality, an exercise in worldbuilding and alternate history that if done right, would be an Ill Bethisad-esque world full of diverse states and cultures. It's also the home of the...

    New Alternate Election Series: Osonian-system UK 2010 and 2015

    OK. So for the past two months, I've thought about the system that Osonia (my alternate NS puppet*) uses to elect its legislature, the Corts Generals, and decided to apply that system (plus, the 30,000 per MP limit for the US Congress as set forth by the Founders) to 2015 Britain. For those of...

    Possible effects of Henry IV refusing to convert to Catholicism

    As anyone would probably remember, Henry IV of France converted to Catholicism in order to be crowned King (even saying "Paris is well worth a Mass" to that effect). My question would be to the possible effects of Henry refusing to convert, and thus is crowned France's first Protestant king...

    Collaborative Challenge: Alt!2015 Election in UK+Ireland

    So I was thinking we try and make a map of constituencies (and results) of an alternate 2015 where the UK retains all of Ireland (instead of NI) to the present. What do you guys think? The first thing we need to do is to determine the size of the UK Parliament (assuming we're going beyond 650...

    WI: Catalan Statute upheld in Constitutional Court in 2010

    See this for more info. Basically what the title says. What would the ramifications be if the Constitutional Court somehow upholds the entire Catalan Statute of Autonomy in 2010 (rather than just parts of it)? And what would the effect of Spanish politics be?
