  1. With a POD no earlier than 1600, what is the lowest population China can have by today?

    0. The US is pounded by a KT sized asteroid in 1601 and the resulting ecological devastation causes either actual human extinction or so close to it as to make no difference. Any surviving communities will be living in small, isolated pockets and surviving or growing only very slowly.

  2. Founders modeled US govt more like British govt

    Define better. In what ways has the US political system itself hampered it's ability to effectively govern in ways that cannot be sufficiently explained by other problems (such as a difference in culture causing greater acceptance/rejection of social policies if social changes of the 20th...

  3. Verhandlungsfrieden - Europe in 1960

    What happened to the german population in the area? There were nearly 250,000 of them in the region at the time but they would probably have something to say in a mostly-peaceful breakup of A-H.

  4. AHC: Make the US an officially libertarian country

    Basically, yeah. It wouldn't take that large of a change to the constitution to do really, perhaps an amendment or a part of the core document explaining that the constitution didn't just list what the government did, it listed the only thing that the government did. That would make the...

  5. Wagner’s Germany: An Axis Victory TL

    Ah, so the progress of the war's going to be one that looks good for the Soviets right up until it doesn't then. It's a highly risky strategy trying to stop the Axis flat like that, but if the NKVD learned about how dangerously low on reserves some parts of the German military ran after the War...

  6. Wagner’s Germany: An Axis Victory TL

    How about the Puma?

  7. Wagner’s Germany: An Axis Victory TL

    You're right, I was just an idiot and confused the Congo and Kamerun

  8. Wagner’s Germany: An Axis Victory TL

    I thought that France got the former Belgian Congo for their trouble? Great maps otherwise, though.

  9. Wagner’s Germany: An Axis Victory TL

    You have a good point about FDR, as long as he had some kind of power or public voice he certainly wouldn't stand for that.

  10. Wagner’s Germany: An Axis Victory TL

    Less risky and probably easier would be trying to sabotage things around the Manhattan project. It isn't and cannot be completely resource independent, so things like delays in recieving fissile material could slow down the project. It wouldn't be a killer, but in the race to the bomb every day...

  11. Wagner’s Germany: An Axis Victory TL

    He can probably carve off some of the African and Middle Eastern colonies, but Britain is nowhere near demolished enough that their empire could be completely gutted like that. You'd need Axis troops marching down the streets of London before you could dictate terms like that without being...

  12. Es Geloybte Aretz - a Germanwank

    I'm more worried about the lesson it would teach the world if it doesn't avert the second war. Germany tried the nation-building route and it backfired spectacularly, if there is a war. The lesson there should be obvious, if you have to tear down another country in a total war then be so...

  13. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    That's precisely it, if I followed the trail of events properly. The plants here weren't for power, but were plutonium breeders and fission bomb assembly plants. I believe the tally before the bombing was three complete weapons and several at various stages of completion. The bombing was to...

  14. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    Accidentally making a miniature sun, the government collapsing, the emperor killed, and now this. Truly the Chinese are living in interesting times.

  15. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    The Chinese nuclear team does come off as hilariously incompetent here, but I kind of think that was the point. They went straight for fusion devices without even building a single fission bomb first, we haven't heard anything about the Chinese nuclear program before, and while there has been...

  16. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    Oh boy, it looks like Red Albion's latest round of purges have taken on a decidedly Stalinist bent, haven't they?

  17. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    Just a thought, but it may not be a case of gross paternalism so much as the government attempting not to appear confused. It's entirely possible that the German government is attempting to ascertain the facts of the situation as far as possible and form an official response before they go...

  18. August Wind

    Before WWI the Russians were modernizing using a tremendous amount of French investment. The Republican government was worried that if they failed to honor their military commitments all that money would dry up no matter who won the war.

  19. August Wind

    I don't think anyone was proposing that they actually were. The entire update was meant to be an insight into how the Chinese see the end of the war, after all. The vassal line is put in because that's how the Chinese viewed the Japanese and it makes their current losses even more...

  20. August Wind

    I'm going to have to agree that the American press has been unusually subdued in this regard. Just look at what happened when the USS Maine blew up in 1898. It absolutely filled newspapers when it happened and there was very little to work with. Hearst (and to a lesser extent Pulitzer) would...
