Finally, a solution where everyone can be outraged. 😌

Ireland Unstoppable, as Éire's relentless rise reaches the stars themselves. 😌

I'll never think of the exploding barrels in videogames as unrealistic again. 🤣

I'm imagining a monkey's paw curling to grant Curtain Jerker's almost-wish for Champ Clark to have won ...

Can't have another war with Persia if an independent Egypt is in the way. 🫠 See, the Tourmachs' plan was ingenious after all. Romania is getting ahead of the game on having less mouths to feed for the little ice age, too!

Are you talking liberal in the economic/classical sense (market economy/free trade) or something else? Which candidates do you mean? Also, are you positing that in this ATL they'll be dead/retired or saying they are now?

I think you're more likely to get a "Vastokayask" and separated Okinawa situation, really.

Northwest-By-God-Virginia. Oh, you said better...

It's going to look like a genius move in-universe if the hints about LaFollette finding corruption, wrecking the liberal party over it, then defecting to the Democrats all comes to pass. I kind of love this take on Hughes; if he gets run out of office before he can reverse any of the...

I borrowed the idea from a misunderstanding in this story (link), but the idea is: 1. After unrest in Galicia or Posen (or just a desire to have a cause belli with Germany or A-H), Nicky or a later Tsar has an idea suggested to 'restore' the Congress Kingdom of Poland as a legally independent...
