Cooperative Countries of an Alternate World Thread

Hominid

Here's my new idea: We make different countries just like the Countries of an Alternate World Thread (google it if you don't know what that is), only this time, each of us takes part in the same country.

For example, the first person creates the name of a country. The next person defines the territory of that country and names another country. The third person invents population statistics for the first, defines territory four the second, and names the third, and so on.

This is the order:


  1. Name (may include local and official names)
  2. Territory (either a map or a description of the territory)
  3. Population info (the number, as well as the ethnic groups/races)
  4. Government info
  5. Languages and religions
  6. Capital and major cities
  7. History
  8. Additional information (may include flag and economy)
As always, all the countries must be in one modern-day world.

I'll start:

It's not my state.

And not really, I imagine the British could have had a large chunk of their territory in Africa break off as one nation do to Pan-Africanism.

I say we go with Alex's post, seeing as Xwarq's territory for Zimbabwae is a bit too ridiculous. But feel free to add New Netherland in the near future.

How is it ridiculous? I could definitely see a quarter to a third of Africa becoming one state if it was all colonized by one power, in this case Britain.

If I can't have an alternate Zimbabwe, then can the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland and Hannover be a small fringe state with actually only Hannover and a small portion of England, while the rest of it revolted in a democratic or socialist revolution?

I mean, the POD has to be at least before 1900. We need some things to be alternate.

Okay. The Zimbabwe can stay. Therefore, let's make a new rule: If two people post at once, the first person's country stays.

It's pretty improbable actually. There were enough cultural differences between Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi alone to rip apart the federataion of Rhodesia and Nyasserland, the attempted union of Senegambia between Senegal and the Gambia (pretty likely you would think considering the fact that the Gambia is almost surrounded by Senegal) and the Mali federation between Mali and Senegal (both colonised by France) collapsed within a year of formation. Meanwhile it has taken 10 years for the East African Community to agree to a unified currency by 2015, and that's after the Community was reformed having collapsed in 1977. Add to this the fact that Southern Rhodesia rejected an offer to join the Union of South Africa in 1922, the ongoing breakup of Sudan, and independence based Civil Wars in Nigeria, Somalia and the Ivory Coast and it starts looking rather improbable. There's also the fact that getting Mozambique in is likely to requrie a PoD before Rhodes was born and that it's very unlikely that such a large federation would be called Rhodesia. Heck getting north and south Rhodesia to stay together is hard enough.

As for the UKBGIH, I never specified how much of Hannover is there.
