I'm interested in an Allied WW1 Victory scenario where all these states become independent and stable. What if Bolsheviks never take over Russia and the Preliminary Government stays in control? Would Russia still try to take back over all their former Empire land even if the treaty of...

How do we create a united Baltic state that is mainly centered around the modern Baltic states? They have to be independent states, not a puppet state. The Pod has to be after the 7th centuries.

What if the Viking Age continued for several more centuries? And what if Scandinavia remained an international locus of trade and military power well into the Middle Ages and Renaissance? How could the Viking Age last longer? Here are a few different possibilities. Prolong the flow of silver...
