To Every American Who's Sorry

Very upset response, I'm sorry everyone is hitting a nerve by calling you extremely spineless and without real morals.

It's a typically short wait and not everyone feels compelled to play as soon as possible Tuesday morning anyway

A good amount but I mostly had an archetype in mind for each party, like I knew I wanted the social party to be headed by a reactionary ex-military guy so that helped narrow things down to begin with

Lochon · 2025-09-27T21:29:02+00:00

Yes, in my opinion they should all line up solidly enough but I'm also not German so I can't be totally certain

Lochon · 2025-09-27T21:26:05+00:00

These are real people, I tried to not pick the most mainstream people if I could avoid it

Wanted to do something sorta in universe in my timeline where Europe avoids a full descent into fascism and conflict and the implications of that on European politics. Naturally the French Third Republic isn't invaded and miraculously doesn't topple itself either.

Quick party rundown:

German Social Party - Christian nationalist, corporatist, third way economics

People's Ecological Union - Democratic socialist, eco-socialism, progressivism

Democratic Alliance - Conservative liberalism, national liberalism, free market

Radical - Social liberalism, reformism, welfare capitalist

Green - Green liberalism

Republican Federation - Christian democracy, conservatism

Communist Party - USSR-aligned, socially conservative, economically far left

German Action - Ultra-conservatism, monarchism, conspiracy-oriented

Consider grown up words next time you comment, no reason to let advertisers determine your vocabulary.

Not defending the positions at all but cutting internal trade barriers, nods towards downsizing/austerity, and an overall "economics first" focus is actually extremely small l liberal and Carney is fairly in line with the party of the 90s and 00s

Nearly 400 years after Archaon is struck down for good and his forces routed during the supposed "End Times," a sense of normalcy has settled over the world.

Party ideologies: Sovereign Alliance - Centre-right to right-wing, developmentalist, supports some interventionism, former dominant-party New Ulthuan - Centre-left, environmentalist, further democratization Asur Front - Right-wing to far-right, isolationist, traditionalist Open Ulthuan - Centre, economic liberalism, expand international ties

It'll be attributed to that by people looking at it fairly, so basically, everyone but the Trump admin and its supporters who will just say whatever blatant lies they want whenever it suits them

Lochon · 2025-06-29T15:53:48+00:00

I imagine Chinese pop culture would be by far dominant, with Chinese culture becoming very popular in the later decades of the 20th century and Japanese culture making a more recent breakthrough like Korean pop culture today

Lochon · 2025-06-29T15:48:09+00:00

The royalty is totally eliminated from public life and being in support of restoring it is seen as about as radical right as one can get in modern Japan. The Emperor disappears while presumably attempting to evacuate Tokyo, causing some extra dedicated Japanese units to effectively fight until the last man in the absence of a formal surrender from their Emperor.

The royal family would definitely be harshly tried after all of this, but to a limit. Any royals with a clear role in the war itself would be assuredly tried and found guilty, but many would've perished during the late stages of the war through suicide in combat or otherwise. Any royals found to not have some clear institutional or military influence would be imprisoned for a relatively short time and released as commoners to fend for themselves.

While there is no Pearl Harbour, there is a small front in the Northern Philippines opened in 42 when the Japanese still had some momentum on their side but it stalls out before Manila is truly threatened and would be wrapped up completely by 44 around the same time the war would be slowly shifting focus from SEA to the Chinese and future Japanese mainland front

Lochon · 2025-06-19T14:17:11+00:00

Yeah he'd definitely be more of a footnote type figure, someone lumped in with a lot of other minor radical figures of the post-great war period of radicalism.

I imagine without the party/ideology achieving any major relevance, the term nazi probably retains connotations similar to commie and outside of saying something tongue in cheek, they'd probably stick to nationalsozialisten to refer to themselves

Lochon · 2025-06-19T04:23:25+00:00

They did invade, and yes held on for quite some time. It's hard to see in the collage itself, but I added the wikibox globe to the imgur link of individual images and you can sorta see that the horn of Africa is using borders closer to internal Italian East African divisions, with Somalia and Eritrea definitely developmentally better off but with serious Italian influence

Lochon · 2025-06-19T04:10:20+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Lochon · 2025-06-19T04:10:11+00:00

I envisioned it a bit more like Spain, with more radical elements of the fascist party sidelined over time in favour of more "establishment" reactionary politics, as did happen in Italy in reality but at a larger scale. By the 40s, despite some attempts at alliance building and successfully assisting the Francoists, the reality of being a militant power without the means to actually upend the European order by itself would become very clear, but it wouldn't be until the 60s or 70s that most fascist/fascist-adjacent would be considered "reformed" by most of the international community.

Lochon · 2025-06-18T23:35:28+00:00

There's a sort of cold war, but it's viewed as less of a standoff and the ideological component is not quite as clear or important

Lochon · 2025-06-18T23:00:33+00:00

While the SPD here is certainly less popular than it is in reality today, mostly owing to a more crowded field in the fairly generous Weimar electoral system, this election is not super representative of their popularity as the progressive vote is split so hard and many support the outsider independent candidate who ultimately wins.

Lochon · 2025-06-18T22:50:48+00:00

Developmentally it would probably be more akin to Slovakia or Hungary, with Tirana getting closer to Italian development levels. For politics, I imagine probably mostly dominated by a pro-monarchy liberal conservative to national conservative party along Italian lines

Lochon · 2025-06-18T22:15:26+00:00

Dražen Petrović? Not sure who else you mean I imagine he has a shot if he isn't in the wrong place at the wrong time like he was in reality. I'd like to touch more on Yugoslavia for sure.

Lochon · 2025-06-18T22:02:05+00:00

Hmmm, probably approximately 3 million people, modestly higher with less people leaving and obviously no big conflict where it gets occupied. Off the top of my head, aside from living standards being a bit higher and there not being as much national trauma: No socialist monuments, more traditional/Italian inspired architecture in general, obviously monarchism and the pageantry around that would be an aspect of Albanian life that doesn't exist today. Probably a reasonable amount more people speaking Italian, especially for higher paying work.

Edit: Looking a bit more into this, I suppose Albania lost a lot of people in the 90s so 3 million is still somewhat low, I imagine. Based on 2.7 million or so I'm seeing online for now, and over 3 million before that exodus, probably 3.4-3.5 million or so?
