Starting from page one:
@ONL I really like your history, to be honest I was expecting a communist west coast but you really tied it together. You're good to post in characters.
As for your question, this alt timeline starts to diverge early in the Great Depression, when it becomes much worse than in our timeline. I wouldn't say there is a exact point of divergence, though. However diverging does influence and cause the different results of the election.
@Ayazi Beautiful history, and interesting and fun country choice (especially since I saw that a China joined too). Post in the characters tab!
@Dinh AaronMK Really, really good history! Seriously enjoyed the read. I'm going to enjoy the interstate diplomacy that starts hapening between everyone. To the characters tab!
@Preusen Awesome. Reading yours was a rollercoaster ride. I loved it and all the extra details you added making it super immersive. I do agree that maybe FDR wouldn't be a great choice for your leader, but you can change it or convince me still.
@Doctoryzer Really cool app, and impressive being your first alt history. I do think you meant 515 million, not 515 thousand for population, right? Fix that and you're good to post in characters.
@Keyguyperson Man, when you said 'bare-bones', had no flag, and had not edited, I was skeptical. The I read your history. Holy crap man, really good!
I swear this situation with all of these nations would make a really great book. Once you get a flag, post in characters.
@Claw2K11 I like your idea, but a few things: In this alternate history the Great Depression was
really bad for everyone. If you can start to get some self-sustainability that's good and would lessen the effects, like the Mexican Miracle (Thanks Dinh), but I think that it would be
greatly less significant. I think a bit more struggle is needed during the mid parts of your history. Also, a smaller thing, the rp starts a few days after the Treaty of Washington DC, which is later in the year. So if you wanted to mobilize and declare war on a fractured US, you would want to do it actually when it fractures (after August 13th). Fix these and possibly add a bit more detail and I think you'll have a pretty good nation set up.
@Blekee Even though you say your background isn't fully developed, I think it still has extreme quality. You are free to post in characters and can still add more to that backstory because I would love to read more.
As for your question, I purposely left out most information about the rest of the world, wanting to see (and was pleasantly surprised by) how people could interpret and change outside countries without many restrictions. Judging by mentions in some apps, and no one has chosen them yet, I think the USSR will be an NPC, without extreme changes made.
@thorgili I like your app, but I do agree it conflicts a little bit, and I think it would be a more fun and working app if you went with your prussia idea you mentioned. Do some changing, I like the way this could be going. The idea of ou still being mid-revolution could also be very interesting and maybe add a bit more balance.
@The Spectre Nice! Your app looks good, but I am sorry about Germany. While you won't have to
fix anything, You will have to edit to what thorgili changes to. Just wait a bit until thorgili updates. I am very sorry about making you change.
However, you do seem like a good co-GM so I would love to have you aboard! (tbh if I actually
was gone I would have wanted someone like you to start a new similar rp)
@Chairman Stein I really like your immense depth and lore! I love how this is all turning out. You are, of course, free to post yours in characters. However, a side note, we don't start on January 1st, more like November 1st (Due to others having wars and stuff after the Treaty) and that might not even be far enough ahead, we'll have to see. But if that changes anything with your end piece, just wanted you to know.
Wow, that was a lot. Can't wait to see what happens! We should be able to start RP soon, and still let people join. If we've talked about their country they would have to conform to what has already been RP'ed.
HOLY **** I JUST GOT SCARED. I clicked a 'next page' on this same tab I'm writing on, luckily chrome has magic and when I pressed back it was still here. I might have rage quit until tomorrow if i lost it
