Korea x Brazil Italy x Japan Spain x Turkey Argentina x England Man, Mexico can make it to the fifth game even in TTL… the 1998-2002 swuad was probably its best, if yhey didnt make it to the quarters vs 2002 Japan (which was not yet as great as it is now) there is no hope for them then...

Group A: South Korea, USA, Portugal, Australia Group B: Spain, Romania, Paraguay, South Africa (Romaina should be slightly better than OTL. The same goes for most of Eastern Europe. While they would never be as good as their communist heydays of OTL, they would also never experience the...

That is what prompted my original question. I’ve been going back to my post on the southern states, which probably look very “3rd world” from our perspective. West Virginia is a relatively unique case in TTL as it is likely on of the few states that is actually more prosperous in TTL than OTL.

Noted. the sketches in the books are nit very clear, but the Rappahannock River border makes sense in order to create a military frontier of sorts post FGW. What is most ironic is that - even without the Shenandoah Valley and the Alexandria/Arlington corner - “the New Counties” will likely end...

Hey David, Quick question, how much territory did Virginia loose to West Virginia after the Second Great War? The interwar maps in the books show a very rough sketch that roughly corresponds to Fredrick, Clarke, Loudon and Fairfax counties (including Alexandria), in addition to the Delmarva...

Winning streaks don't last forever. Although Nixon had built a very strong coalition, the GOP troubles began before the Watergate scandal after the resignation and pardon of Spiro Agnew and the economy had begun to falter. Neither of these factors wouldn't necessarily be enough to cost the GOP...

I am not sure if this has been asked or covered before, but have you given any though on what the hosts / champions of the FIFA World Cup look like in TTL (and what the reach of FIFA is in TTL). Same for Olympic hosts and the IOC?

Well that was a surprise winner! I did reckon the Soviet Union would remain a strong power in TTL but not an actual champion. Looking foward to what comes next.

In that same vein, what about St Pieere & Miquelon? I assume the US, though maybe they were offered to Quebec for good will?

Group A: Brazil and Portugal Group B: Italy and Serbia - very close group decided on final games, Cameroon performance is surprisingly good. Group C: France and Soviet Union Group D: Denmark and Spain Group E: Mexico and Netherlands - Mexico comes in 1st (1998 was perhaps Mexico's best...
