  1. VFAU: Huh?

    Tell me, I'm having a mocha at a Starbucks, reading the Times, walk out to my office in Lower Manhattan, and walk out to find that half of the city is gone. I mean the half under construction- The new Twin Towers, the Anderson Tower, the Infintum- all of those piles of steel gone. I walk to my...

  2. WI a primary canidate has greater support, but less seats in a convention?

    Basically what the title asks. Say, in a party convention, after 1950, a candidate (#1) had started strong but had lost much of it to another candidate (#2) over time, who now had a commanding lead over the first; however, candidate one had more seats in the party convention, or maybe a tie...

  3. ROC stays on, but like the PRC

    How could you have the ROC stay in control of China, but in a fashion reminiscent to the PRC, so in 2009 China is a authoritarian-capitalist state that considers itself Nationalist, rather than Capitalist?

  4. Vancouver Island a province?

    I happened to be looking at a list of the largest Canadian islands and noticed that Vancouver Island had a population of some 64 hundred thousand, more than PEI or Newfoundland combined. You have Victoria on the Southern tip of the island. How feasible is the idea that Vancouver Island would be...

  5. DBWI: WTF is this?

    Why is Erythrea so small and mispelled?

  6. What should I do as a TL?

    Ethiopia-related, obviously! The Elephants Go On: Abraha's elephants press foward, Mecca captured, no Mohammed Sons of Mararah: The Solomonic dynasty is not restored, Ethiopia shifts from house to house ye-Hindawi: Ethiopian ties with India go through the roof, the butterflies are amazing...

  7. KaNgwane annexed to Swaziland

    According to Wikipedia, South Africa tried to have its bantustan KaNgwane, which was intended for the Swazi people, annexed by Swaziland (in line with the claims of Sobhuza II and the concept of eventually removing the African population from South Africa. I am told this from another source: And...

  8. The Savoyards in Danger, or, Menelik's Revenge

    Although it is probably 19th century sensationalism, you challenge is to have a major war arise in Europe as a result of the events described in an article

  9. Inviting monarchs remains popular

    What if inviting foreigners to become monarchs upon vacancy or indpendence (like Belgium, Romania, or Norway) remained common into the 20th century and after WWI?

  10. DBWI:Abyssinia won the Battle of Adua

    What if the Abyssinian Emperor, Menelek, had been able to defeat Bartateri's forces at Adua? I know this is pushing into ASB territory, but what would Abyssinia and the world look like today?

  11. Surviving Salo Republic/RSI

    Is it possible the RSI could've survived after WWII? Unlikely, yes. Would the capital have been moved to Milan?

  12. DBWI: Going to Ethiopia

    So, what should I do? I'm starting from Massawa, unlike most people who go from Addis out. What should I watch out for? The country's pretty safe, no?

  13. Challenge: Ethiopian Emperors

    Now, for something different! Now, a VERY, VERY important rule: no colonisation or take-over by foreign powers. 1637-16??: Fasilides

  14. UK Monarchs Challenge

    Lets be even sillier! 1714: George I

  16. Independent Tyrol/the 27th canton

    What if, after WWI, Tyrol declares independce, and Vorarlberg joins Switzerland, as per below?

  17. Kolchak Survives!

    What if Aleksandr Kolchak manged to escape Russia say, to the UK or Sweden and lived into the 1950's at a natural extent (meaning that he'd live till then unbothered, but other factors can change that.) Would he pair up with the Nazis and/or Vlasov, or create a neo-White movement? The...

  18. WI Napoleon II survives?

    What if Napoleon II, the only descendant of Napoleon, survived. How does this affect the creation of the second Empire. He personally had some strong feelings about his parents, and detested the Austrians? Would he try to return to France and re-proclaim the beforehand? Be invited by...

  19. WI Ethiopia developed in the manner of European nations?

    Looking at Axumite history, one notices that the civilization was quite advanced in comparison to its neighbours. It also had links to Rome and was on the southern leg of the major East-West trade routes. So what would it be needed for Ethiopia to develop as a "Western" "enclave" in Africa?
