    Alternate Wikibox Thread

    Another wikibox, taken from an article about the local language: Mine isn't an island country though - far from it, in fact: take the narrow strip of land where the Andean capitals are located, and stretch it wide enough for it to be half the size of Tibet. This way, you've got a whole...

    Alternate Wikibox Thread

    Already posted on the other website - some data about my NationStates country, Lemobrogia; while it began as an attempt to try and give a plausible in-universe explanation to certain JRPG tropes (there's some relics of this early phase, for example the country's forests are home to Pleistocene...

    Football PoDs and alternate possibilities.

    Probably not that many, since cricket and rugby were already well-established in the former Empire by the end of World War II; without the UK calling the shots however, cricket might become less of an old boys' club, with Test status not being the domain of just a handful of countries as in OTL...

    Football PoDs and alternate possibilities.

    Speaking of which... on the other website, there's an ongoing TL about the process of reconstruction in Great Britain after the fall of 1984's Oceania in the 2020s (that, while incredibly totalitarian, was restricted to Great Britain alone, going by a very popular fan theory); the development of...

    Scenes We'd Like To See: Alternate Movies, Television & Other Pop Culture Miscellanea

    A thought: what if Eddie Guerrero survived but, given his health issues, decided to quit professional wrestling and do something else? I think he could've done well enough in Hollywood: his on-ring antics and off-ring skits were insanely entertaining, and he could get serious too - dude made...

    Football PoDs and alternate possibilities.

    It would've been interesting if an alternate Bosman ruling established free agency EU-wide, but allowed EU leagues to have caps on foreign players, for example, all EU-based teams would be able to field a maximum of three foreign players, as was the case in Serie A before the Bosman ruling, for...

    Political and cultural figures who could've had lives/careers in different countries

    Albania could've had a stacked team, too - given how many people of recent Albanian descent play for other teams. And if the Catalan independence bid had succeeded, quite a few top tier players would've played for Catalonia rather than Spain, too. Speaking of sub-Saharan African players though...

    Different sides of different rings: Wrestling PODs and such

    What if André the Giant went under the knife to minimize the consequences of acromegaly? He refused to do so in OTL but, if he did, not only would he have had a much longer career and lifespan, but his wrestling style would've been much more technical - as his early bouts in France showed. Sure...

    Kings of Venetia and Lombardy

    There were some Sforza and Visconti still living in Lombardy as minor nobility but, even though the Doges of Venice were constitutional monarchs in all but name, having a member of the Venetian nobility become an actual king would be the kind of decision massive riots would result from.

    Personal Empires

    If Charlemagne and Irene had married and had had a single (surviving, at least) child, such an Eastern Roman/Frankish Empire would've lasted only one generation, if said child would've had more than one heir - Byzantine and Frankish inheritance laws combined wouldn't have allowed for the...

    Architectural AH

    A few possible PODs: The modern concept of historic preservation becomes mainstream much earlier, through the Renaissance's interest in Roman history, or the Romantic period's interest in medieval history; McAdam and Le Corbusier die in the cradle, sparing the world their insanity; No Adolf...

    WI: More sports involving cars?

    I doubt they could catch on, given how expensive can vanilla racing be already; maybe if the early 20th century development of electric cars isn't slaughtered in the cradle by Big Oil, we could see things like Rocket League with actual cars.

    Alternate Athlete Performances

    Balotelli could've been so much better as an athlete, hadn't he been a prick as a person.

    Football PoDs and alternate possibilities.

    How would European football look like if the Champions League had kept being the European Cup, a straight knockout tournament featuring only the winners of every national championship? On a borderline ASB note, what if OTL restrictions on foreign players hadn't been wiped out by the Bosman ruling?

    Football PoDs and alternate possibilities.

    Juventus originally played in pink, so they could've kept that colour as their main one, instead of relegating it to the occasional second or even third kit. As for the national teams... since Germany's colours descend from those of Prussia, post-Nazi Germany could've opted for the...
