[OC] Alternate History What if Korea United After Cold War?
With the onset of the Soviet-Afghan War in 1979, Soviet financial support for North Korea began to dwindle. The country faced a severe economic crisis; development targets went unmet, and projects were suspended. Meanwhile, neighboring China rejected the traditional communist model and, under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, began permitting private enterprises. As North Korea grew increasingly impoverished—contrasting sharply with China's rise—soldiers whose loyalty and sympathy toward the Kim family had waned secretly organized within the North Korean military under the name "Jayu Clique." In 1989, this clique attempted a coup against the North Korean government. With one of Kim Il-Sung's own bodyguards among the conspirators, the coup largely succeeded, resulting in Kim Il-Sung's death. However, his successor, Kim Jong-il, eventually purged the coup plotters and reclaimed power. Just as the situation began to stabilize, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 threw everything into turmoil once more. The state became unable to even pay the salaries of its citizens. Awakened by the events surrounding the Jayu Clique and realizing they were living under a dictatorship, the people rose up in 1992 and entered Pyongyang. The Kim family, having fled to China just before the fall of Pyongyang, effectively lost their grip on power in North Korea. Following a one-year integration process, South and North Korea reunified in 1993, ending a 45-year division. After reunification, a new national flag—featuring a blue map of Korea on a white background—was adopted, the institutions of both countries were merged, and a new currency was introduced. After the passage of 30 years, by 2026, the union of the North's powerful military and the South's wealthy economy results in the emergence of a formidable nation. Today, the Republic of Korea stands as one of the world's most powerful countries, boasting a population of 84 million, a GDP exceeding $4 trillion, and a military with over 550,000 active-duty personnel.

[OC] Alternate History [VER. 2!!] South African Civil War: What if the Nats said 'No' ?
- A special thanks to u/SouthAfricanKanzler for the feedback I got on the first version that helped me make changes for historical & tactical accuracy. -
Disclaimers:
No AI was used in the making of the map or the summary, except to upscale the quality of the image a little so as to be in accordance with Rule 5.
Apologies in advance for any inaccuracies in the map or the summary below.
Summary (PLEEEEASE read it's kinda long but important):
In 1994, the National Party (NP) put an indefinite stop to any and all negotiations regarding the end of white majority rule with any other parties on the advice of its hardliners who deemed the massive loss of political power as a catastrophe to be avoided.With the country already on its last legs both economically and socially, this triggered massive unrest nationwide, fueling the already massive fire of internal resistance to Apartheid.
This resulted in the overthrow of several Bantustan governments, a secession attempt by the IFP, as well as popular uprisings in the townships, most notably Soweto. Due to its close proximity to Johannesburg and the destruction of several armored vehicles, combined with the killing and imprisonment of their crews within its borders, the area was sealed off and the atrocities now known as the 1995 Soweto Carpet Bombings took place.
While this solved the immediate problem of a possible capture of the rest of Johannesburg, it destroyed any remaining international legitimacy that the NP had, severely affected its domestic image, provoking the reestablishment of uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) whose numbers surged dramatically nationwide out of pure fury against the government which had wiped out an estimated one hundred thousand civilians under the pretense of "emergency stabilization".
The African National Congress then proclaimed its own rule over the Republic of South Africa, gaining recognition from several UN member states as well as jurisdiction over (I will be using current province names because it's easier) the entirety of the Eastern Cape (encircling NP-occupied Durban), northern Limpopo, the majority of North West, parts of the Northern Cape both near North West, the Namibian border, and a significant chunk of southern Free State. This prompted the NP government, now officially known as the Regering van Nasionale Eenheid (lit. Government for National Unity) to reinstate a nationwide State of Emergency. (Yes, they kept that name.)
In the west of the crumbling country, a breakaway state, the Cape Republic, was proclaimed (with fierce resistance from Naval Base Simon's Town). However, upon its leaders' abolishment of Apartheid within the borders of the new state, a familiar far-right White Afrikaner supremacist paramilitary group reared its head once again: The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB).
Having nearly doubled in size to 120,000 estimated members (including both its sympathisers & actual militias) due to the increased threats against White Afrikaner populations, and having assumed control of various rural towns, most notably their headquarters, Ventersdorp, as well as the Boputhatswanan capital, Mmabatho, where they were already present to control the population's unrest, (and which later prompted the Botswana Defence Forces to set up a security zone on both sides of the Notwane River) they set in motion a plan to force a surrender of the new state and attempt a possible takeover.
Lacking the necessary conventional military or logistical power to attempt an invasion in what was the possibly the least AWB-tolerant area of the country, a covert cell made up of SADF mutineers instead opted to attack a key piece of critical infrastructure: the Koeberg Nuclear Power Plant.
While the initial goal was to attack the switchyard and GSU transformers, the heavy defensive fortifications in this area deterred any attempt at an attack and forced the cell to instead attack the coolant pumps.
On the night of July 24, 1996, the cores of both units at the Koeberg NPP themselves undamaged but both their coolant systems rendered completely inoperable, melted through their casings and sprayed out into the reactor building, igniting a massive cloud of hydrogen and producing a reaction similar to that of a fuel-air bomb, launching radioactive materials into the air. A secondary steam explosion then exacerbated these effects, and both explosions catching the North-Wester winds, irradiated the entirety of Cape Town in less than four hours and spread southeast towards George, with fallout being detected as far as SANAE III in Antarctica before the reversal of fallout into the South Atlantic with the Cape Doctor winds.
A heavy rain the following dawn then completely rendered the area unlivable, contaminating groundwater, soil, and the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
The Cape Republic then promptly collapsed into total anarchy, its seat of government gone and the cabinet all either dead or dying, prompting a mass exodus from the region as a whole into ANC territory and an RNE Emergency Government headquartered in Calvinia. Said Emergency Government also siphoned troops from an already sparse defense in the Karoo, effectively abandoning any attempt at governance in the region (which the AWB later took advantage of).
The wider international community, previously reacting to the civil war as a significant escalation in resistance, immediately pulled out what little of their foreign diplomats and citizens remained in South Africa, and a UNSC emergency meeting called to authorize the immediate deployment of the Blue Helmets as the United Nations Assistance Mission to South Africa (UNAMSA) into Port Elizabeth among several other coastal ANC-occupied towns to process, care for, and house the estimated 1.1 million displaced persons in massive tent cities. The vote passed fifteen to none.
This brings us to today, 1998. The country has been locked in a brutal stalemate between the RNE and the ANC, with guerilla warfare from the AWB present from both sides, a hyperfortified Zululand, and each major offensive into the other's lands costing massive amounts of life and weaponry.

[OC] Alternate History [THTNS] Puerto Rico: the last member of the Spanish Empire
Hello everyone I am once again back with another post for The House that never stood! I know it's been a while since I posted the last one, but that's because I have been dealing with university and other projects. I'll try to post as soon as I can, but I like to take the proper time with this project of mine. Today we have Puerto Rico! So in this universe, without the intervention of the United States of America, the Puerto Ricans never managed to achieve their independence, and had to settle for simply receiving more autonomy as a result. The little island serves as a strategic base not only for Spain, but also for the League of Free Democracies in this world’s cold war, I hope you all enjoy this map!

[OC] Alternate History Map of the Middle East at the dawn of the new millennium! 2000 CE (also the Semitic Union) for more info go to description
this timeline is not meant to have 1 single POD. Instead it has many. if you have any lore questions please ask sorry I did not put a lot here for I don’t feel like writing a larger brick wall then I would with just the small stuff in desc rn. But basically random important parts are, Yemeni kingdoms never unify, the Southern Levant’s pre Alexander the Great cultures are largely preserved, The Levant is much more contested between Rome and Persia, Islam fails to spread past Hejaz. The 19th century saw the rise in Pan Semitic moments leading to an EU style union between the Semitic states called the Semitic Union centered in Jerusalem due to shared religious signifi between Christians (largest group) Muslims and Jews. The Middle East is primarily composed of Muslims, Christians, Zoroastrians, and Arabian Polytheists. However in the Levant there is a well Judaism and Samaritanism. While culturally it is a very diverse place. Any lore questions will be answered. The brown in the 2nd image is the Semitic Union) (that was the edit)

[OC] Fantasy Alternate ending to the season 1 of server map rp in noags discord server. This showcases what would happen if neo-bordouex coalition (A fascist alliance between yenlandia and Sloggia) succeded?
History: In season 1 normal timeline corporates would win against Lustia, but in this case Corporates would lose the war. Their allies Pterosaur, Anatolian Federation (or AMF for short) would face defeat as their ally would die in a war. Pterosaur would find themselves weaken and unable to dominate north american continent. Meanwhile in greenland Ecological-Pterosaur war would happen and then cablelist in Cabletopia (who are occupied by allied forces of Pterosaur and AMF) would rebel against occupation zone. Ecological state would succeed in a war, but cablelist loses, but they would continue fighting as guerilla warfare. Pterosaur would then be really weak forcing them to officially step out from Bakerlings, Wengerian and AMF alliance which is known as LFN due to economic and instability reasonings. Moving to Asia, Bangali government which is backed by AMF would invade Indian nation which would be later backed by Sloggia. India wins the war and bengali would lose 35% of their territory to India. With turks also loosing their ally, Persian would declare independence and proclaim as "Sublime State of Persia" which also switch torwards Neo-bordouex coalition. Looking torwards Edgaria in Mexico. Edgaria plans to invade central america which is a colony of Nyan state. The nyanist hears this and starts a war. Nyan is part of Neo-bordouex coalition and for that sloggia gives support to Nyan nation. While edgaria gets supported by AMF. Edgaria wins the war, but they wouldn't join LFN as they saw no interest on joining the alliance. With nyan loosing the conflict they would also face up big instability. Unfortunately for them they wouldn't recover and they would collapse. AMF, Yenlandia and Sloggia would see this and start to scramble nyan state. Yenlandia and Sloggia unites temporarily to invade South Africa. As for the turks they would go to Africa horn. Majority of Nyan state would be liberated by AMF, but Sloggia and Yenlandia would get south america, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Nyan antarctic colonies and Madagascar. AMF territories would be transfer to new Azanian Republic which is despotic, but would still able to hold free and fair elections later on. Years go past and Neo-bordouex coalition decided to Invade LFN nations. They movings would start in Europe as Sloggia progressively takes out glenbusian territories. While in Egypt, the front would stay. Suddently AMF strike back and retake their loss territories and move to sloggian territories, but then this... Wengeria got nuked by both Yenlandia and Sloggia. Wengerian islands got into anarchy. Zendristians would rebel and declare their independence under Zendristian rule. Shortly after the nuke, Bakerlings would step out from the alliance fearing that would be next. AMF wouldn't surrender, but since LFN basically gets dissolved there was no chance for the turks. Persians would invade iraq quite fast while Sloggia and Yenlandia would take out european cities and territories. AMF surrenders. The new order in Europe gets established. Now eyes on the pterosaur nation it seems that they are getting weaker and weaker and in the next election Sloggia heavily influences their politics. Pterosaur Fascist party would win. Pterosaur Changes their name into "National State of Pterosaur" and then join neo-bordouex coalition (Later the alliance would be known as United Iron Alliance). Years go by and Lustia gets into imperial thoughts. They aim to unite all of America by simply defeating Pterosaur. Sloggia would intervene and then first Yurinian-Sloggian war would start. Lustia would massively gain territories and expand quickly. Pterosaur and Sloggia wouldn't see that coming so they would heavily mobilize. It looks Lustia will win. But that isn't the case. Yuri, Lustia's empress would be lost as she was battling against UIA forces. With that chaos would irrupt in Lustian nation. factions would arise and corporates would rerise from the ashes. Pterosaur would able to regain most of their lands back, while Sloggia would takeout Hawaii and Ports in California. And would that Sloggian domination would be achieved.

[OC] (OC)(Pal-paraiso)The situation in Italy
Italy has always been important to Europe and remains so today; with the drop in global temperatures, the viable crop line is shifting steadily southward, leaving much of Italy with arable land. Italy—along with Iberia—is barely managing to keep Europe fed; this region has lost the least population within the Nova Europa Empire, and a large portion of food imports arrives via the port of Genoa from the Empire of the Blues.
