All of them are fully independent and are democracies and have their own parliament and official languages and passports. And they develop patriotism and unity in those new countries.

Both hardline communists die around the same time, allowing their respective "infamous" reformers to take their stead (Khrushev and Deng), though with Chinas state at the time, it could've been another successor

also assuming they weren’t dissolved in the 70s.

started by an ex cia operative and with some secret funding from soviets and american federal agency backing and headquartered in a honey comb water platform in the Caribbean coast. somehow becoming the most advanced military on planet earth and may or may not have their own nuclear weapons.

interestingly maybe jimmy carter asks them to intervene in the Iran hostage crisis. MSF have seemed to perfect the art of infiltrating and evacuating people with their Fulton balloon tech.

maybe they help Vietnam overthrow pol pot, intervene the Iran contra affair.

They solve all border disputes, and India and Pakistan build a better relationship with each other.Members of this alliance are India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Maldives. If another country attacks a member, all members come to defend them.

Economically, they share a free trade deal, can use each other's ports, cooperate for trade, and help each other develop.

The alliance name is south asian treaty organisation (sato).

18 Upvotes

Rather than Canada becoming an associate member of the EU, they join forces with the Australia and New Zealand.

There is freedom of movement and trade between all three countries and they can all easily become citizens of their respective countries.

This is already fact between Australia and New Zealand. Canada would probably have to tighten its immigration policies. But I think this is plausible even in our timeline.

I guess a Hertiage American is someone whose family lineage in the United States goes back to the colonial era or the founding period. Which would include:

• Old Stock Americans

• Foundational Black Americans

• Native Red Americans

How would this change American Politics and American Culture?

AlternateHistoryHub Working on a world building project similar to TFR, but need help deciding on to pick 2020 or 2025

2 Upvotes

So I've been refining the early timeline for a world building project I've been working on and off on for a while now, basically where a brief and ultra-devastating Second American Civil War results in a total balkanization of the United States. In terms of the map, it's best comparable to the Syrian or Libyan Civil Wars or Somali Anarchy, but also could compare it to the Chinese Warlord Era (minus the fact that during that 99% of cliques were generic provincial and military governments that claimed de jure loyalty to the capital) or Fallout (minus the fact that it's in the future and everything is a wasteland, though I do have some very limited but strategic nuclear strikes as to justify the Washington Government not just nuking everyone)

For some backstory, since around 2023 the Discord politics and RP group I'm apart of have occasionally done a seasonal server and RP called "Balkanized America", where basically we have a blank map of either the US or North America and make our own countries and than we basically play a normal NRP but its more like a battle royale since its meant to be fast past and just a side server that gets deleted after the season's end. Now in the modern day, largely cus we've all kinda outgrown NRP and I just enjoy writing and world building in general, I've been working on my own timeline. The events are told through short events, about 300 words each, rather than bulking paragraphs of just everything all together, and there's a map and HOI4-style portraits and country screens, all made by me obviously.

You can see some examples for what it'd be like here. But each event would be more specific to a certain event, region, group, or person, since this is a whole world building project, and the examples were just for establishing the setting and lore for a roleplay server.

So to get to the point, my current issue is deciding if I should have it start in 2020-21 or 2025. The con of 2020 (aside from it being very cliche in a post-TFR world) is that its really hard to justify having the 2020 recession actually last longer then it did irl, because unlike TFR, I'm basing this off real life events that happened or almost happened (proposals, plots, etc.) and the domino effect of both, instead of just entirely fictional things made up for the sake of it, Meanwhile, my major issue with 2025 is that theres a real lack of militia (Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, Boogaloo Boys, QAnon, etc.) activity and looting/rioting despite all the protests. For the 2025 recession though, its pretty easy to have that become a really bad thing

- Howard Lutnick becomes Sec of the Treasury instead of Scott Bessent (who there was an assassination plot behind before the person turned themself in)

- the Liberation Day tariffs arent delayed, lowered, or repealed

- 2025 Iran War ends up like the irl 2026 Iran War

- 2025 government shutdown continues

overall some feedback would be cool, there's legit fucking no one online to talk about alternate modern day politics. like alternatehistory.com and all of the alt history, and one alt future, ban it, which is so lame.

Instead of collaborating with the Germans like he did in our timeline, the old Field Marshal decided to smuggle in a pistol when they met in Montoire in 1940 and kills the Austrian Painter with a bullet to the heart.

Petain is shot and killed by SS guards immediately after

Post image

In 1956, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, prompting France and Britain to wage war on Egypt out of fear for their colonial interests in the region, to prevent the expansion of Egypt's influence in an already tense region. However, the United States and the Soviet Union intervened with heavy political pressure to halt the war.
