    What’s the economy of Judea based on to be turning over $300 billion in GDP? Closely related question, what happened to the missing millions of Palestinians? Because if they aren’t in Israel or Judea, then the rabbinate has done ethnic cleansing on a scale where I don’t see them finding enough...

    Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

    Yeah, I thought the Grover Cleveland approach made the most sense. Slick Willy gets sunk by the Vermont Yankee meltdown, before Forbes so utterly fumbles thing that he seems to be in with a chance. Add in Hastert’s scandals coming to light on the campaign trail and the Greens getting a...

    Post-WWI sectarianism was a bad time in NZ IOTL; I’m guessing things manage to somehow get even spicier here?

    Much depends on how the period post-Japanese surrender goes. IOTL, the Viet Minh declared independence in August 1945, and were recognised at least tacitly by the ROC (which occupied the country above the 16th parallel) as Ho Chi Minh put a lot of effort into supporting the Nationalist...

    I had a go at this once, at least for the US. Went with the “barely-contested election to restore a sense of normalcy after the Peace of Cairo” approach, which would follow precedent from 1864 while also being a boosterish way of insisting America hadn’t let the invasion beat it out of shape...

    Alternative Confederate ventures in the Caribbean?

    The Confederate States of America: History’s high thread-count Venezuela?
