:iconsheighness:
Why does the West win? Because they receive lend-lease from the Asteroid Guild, and because people weren't fond of Tzunu Zhua's Eastern Liberation Army massacring them, so they took up arms. In the Third World War, everyone is a soldier.

This lines up with the maps, but not exactly with the '05-'76 chronology. Some changes to that need to take place.

As always, I'd prefer if you kept this under your entertainment hat.

All I remembered is WWIII are raining nukes. There's no difference from nationality, winner, loser, nor independence. Only deaths and radiations.

Absolutely. It's a common sentiment after the War that it was the first event in human history to directly affect every individual. I did manage to keep the worst fallout at bay, though, by having American nuclear scientists invent a pure-fusion bomb prior to the War; and the big theme I want to convey in the 2040s-'60s is that the defining characteristic of mankind is its resilience. Even after losing two billion people and most infrastructure, we rebuild our world greater than it was before.

Fictitious universes are great! :D

And then I remember another cliche: "Human kills human; death mades death; war breeds war. Once assumed destruction, always a destruction afterward."

Yet, I agree that the world goes better when there's no more civilization corrupting the nature, however it was paid by distinction of humanity.

If we built up a future fully controlled by human, firstly is to stand on the stage (Earth) to built up the fantasy.

Can you describe what the Eastern Coalation is?

It's difficult. In some ways EC is similar to the Warsaw Pact, in that it's formed explicitly out of fear of an opposing alliance (this time SDU, but for Warsaw, NATO); but EC is far more unified, and instead of hard socialism as a unifying dogma, this time it's militarism to an extreme - the military is the most prominent and most revered institution in the country, and it holds almost all political power.

Also, EC originated as an economic union, in response to the economic catastrophe of the late 2020s. Does that help?

I do like Mr Turtledove, but I like Philip Roth better. And the second Indian insurrection is on my 56th birthday. XD Had to put good days in there.

I enjoy it a lot. :D I'm going to make this into a Wikipedia-style article, and then move on. The actual story (which won't be posted here, but may end up being published) doesn't really function on this stuff anyway.
