  1. Medieval America Tk II: Discussion Thread

    So here's a very crude map of my image of cowboy territory, please feel free to change it however you like, I would make it better but it's a bit late for me to be doing that right now so maybe tomorrow. The circle is for the black hills which I imagine would be the spiritual and population...

  2. Medieval America Tk II: Discussion Thread

    The big meetups are a good idea, possibly twice a year? I admit I'm not too good with seasonal stuff, but would it make sense for them to want to group together in big meetings during winter? To share food and stories and the like on the solstice? I could also see there being either multiple...

  3. Medieval America Tk II: Discussion Thread

    I was one of the main guys who wrote about the PNW last time and I admit to having given it more, and better, thought since last time. My thoughts are that something much more like the Hansa might develop, a Puget League perhaps? Where the many trading cities of the area are loosely grouped...

  4. Your Name in the Dominion of Southern America

    I have a great (possibly add another great?) grandfather who immigrated from Munich, name of Max Braun. Eventually the family ended up in Seattle where we are now. But on my moms side we have the Farmer family which we can trace back to one of the original settlements in Virginia and they ended...

  5. timelines where Trotsky succeeds Lenin

    Zinoviev and Kamenev worked together, neither one of them is gaining power without close support of the other. Bukharin, as said, is also only achieving power with the help of others as while he had an important position it lacked that key factor of giving him actual physical power. Stalin and...

  6. timelines where Trotsky succeeds Lenin

    I had to write a paper on early Soviet power struggles for a class of mine, and in a biography of Stalin (amazon link below) I came across a reference to how Stalin evaporated and was not seen until after Trotsky confirmed he wasn't going to coup it up. Amazing book as well though. It actually...

  7. timelines where Trotsky succeeds Lenin

    The simplest means to have Trotsky take over is to have him listen to those encouraging him to use the military to arrest the rest of the leadership. I can't remember the exact date but one night it came so close that Kamenev, Zinoviev, and even Stalin were prepared to bolt and flee the...

  8. Effects of a surviving Gran Colombia?

    A while back I was doing some research with plans on doing a TL about this, that kind of fell through though. :o Panama is going to be a big part of its economy, and the chance of there being a competing Nicaragua canal is kind of high. Gran Colombia definitely needs a strong backer, and I was...

  9. Medieval America Co-op Project

    So, anyone mind if I write a story set in our nice little world? I have a couple ideas for it though and I'm not sure which I want to go with. I was thinking either something involving a siege, like maybe the Seattle-Vancouver Commonwealth conquering Victoria, or about way back when Seattle...

    So, how long would the installations in Cheyenne Mountain last? Because I'm thinking that could be a pretty cool center of a kingdom with that as the castle where the King lives. I'm just not sure if it'd still be around 900 years later.

  11. Medieval America Co-op Project

    So there's probably some kind of Silk Road equivalent in North America, likely starting somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, but where would it go from there? Would it head down south and pass through California and the desert or would it just start heading east? What would be a good Samarkand...

    Buddhism was already inherent in the original thing, and not really enviromentalist, just more like druids that kind of thing.

  13. Medieval America Co-op Project

    ... Huh, well, huh. Well, most of the raiders were by ocean then I guess? And it was farther north, so the raiders kind of had to pass through it to reach Seattle. I'll stick with the latter of those two ideas.

    The United States in this case is mainly the name for the area right around the Potomac and some territory along the coast it controls, it doesn't have all that much territory, at least according to White. Georgia was most certainly not part of it. EDIT...

    I'll take a shot at this. I think titles would still be derivatives of the past, like Mayor or Senator or some such thing. The Columbian Free-State Totemic Symbol: Red and Black Yin Yang on white background Government: Republic Capital: Portland Head of State: Mayor Philip Keller The...

  17. Atlas of Medieval America

    The people who live in cities tended to be those who couldn't put up with the feudal system, so you'd get a lot of the misfits and such in the cities. At least that's what I've read, or sons who couldn't inherit anything would often run away to the cities, and a long the coast they'd be the...

  18. WI Hyderabad had remained independent?

    In 1948 India initiated a "police action" called Operation Polo to insure that Hyderabad was brought into the Indian Union. Hyderabad had attempted to stay independent as a Dominion in the Commonwealth or as simply an independent state. So, what if they had managed to do so? What effects could...

  19. Snowcrash: Background, date, etc

    From what I remember from another story of his, the government collapsed because a means of completely anonymous internet access was invented, so you could buy anything on the internet and not have it be taxed by the government. Without the means of income from taxation the government began to...
