SUPERIMPERIALIST AMERICA ERA ONE: The Ascent to Domination (1844-1991)

[Harry]

Ignore the colors, but here is a tentative 1992 map, showing all of the new states

I'll probably tweak the EV's somewhat though

[MasterJedi]

All I have to say is that's a LOT and I mean a LOT of states!!!!!

[PBrunsel]

Harry, I don't know if I ever said this, but this is the best timeline in this thread. it's even better than Randy Jones.

[Harry]

Well, upon making the promised statistics, it appears there are 229 states.  Darn.  oh well.  Statistics coming soon

[Archangel_Mikey]

I'm not so sure that the United States should be called the United States of Amerca.  How about the United States of the World, Earth Federation, United States, American Empire.

I wonder if we'll be getting the states of Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001-2004. That could be a beachhead into the middle eastern states of the "United American Empire" as I've taken to call it...

[Eagerly awaiting next installment]

[MasterJedi]

Interesting statistics, you should put the population up too sometime when you have the time!

[Archangel_Mikey]

"Nebraska 1874 Douglas 5"

Oh sure, give me the name of a president nobody knows about.

How about Omaha as the capital?  It's only the biggest city on Nebraska.

[Harry]

"Nebraska 1874 Douglas 5"

How about Omaha as the capital?  It's only the biggest city on Nebraska.

I assume it's the same city as Lincoln, yet named after the guy from IL who became president.

Omaha?  No.  It's the biggest city in Nebraska and was its territorial capital and named after the Omaha Indians.

I know that.  In OTL, Omaha was the territorial capital of Nebraska.  Why not keep it that way?  Plus, Omaha is in Douglas County.

this is hilarious.

and the timeline is good too, harry

sites of the Olympics:

Summer   
1896   Athens, Greece
1900   Paris, France
1904   St. Louis, USA
1908   London, UK
1916   Berlin, Germany
1920   Antwerp, Belgium
1924   Stockholm, Sweden
1928   Amsterdam, Netherlands
1932   Los Angeles, USA
1936   Paris, USA
1948   New York City, USA
1952   Helsinki, Finland

1982   Moscow, USSR
1991   Lagos, USA
1995   scheduled for St. Petersburg, USSR
1999   scheduled for Athens, Greece

The summer games began in 1896 in Athens.  They were cancelled in 1912 due to WWI but resumed in 1916.  They were cancelled in 1940 and 1944 due to WWII but resumed in 1948--in New York, as a statement to the world that the games would never be permenantly cancelled.  They were cancelled in 1960 due to WWII, but were held following the conclusion in 1962, beginning a new cycle.  They were cancelled in 1990 due to WWIV, but once peace resumed, they were held in late 1991, beginning yet a new cycle.  By the 1950's, the USA started winning everything, so the US now has five teams competiting the the Olympics:  USA-Africa, USA-Europe, USA-North America, USA-Latin America, and USA-Australiasia.

Winter   
1924   Chamonix, France (occupied by USA)
1928   St. Mortiz, Switzerland
1932   Lake Placid, USA
1936   Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
1948   St. Mortiz, Switzerland
1952   Oslo, USA
1956   Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy
1962   Innsbruck, Austria
1966   Grenoble, USA
1970   Sapporo, Japan
1974   Denver, USA
1978   Punta Arenas, Argentina
1982   Lake Placid, USA
1991   Archangel, USSR
1993   scheduled for East Seward, USA
1997   scheduled for Nagano, USA
2001   scheduled for Bern, Switzerland

The Winter Olympics began in 1924 in Chamonix, part of France under US control.  They were cancelled and resumed at the same times of the Summer Olympics.  The IOC decided to start holding the winter games two years apart from the summer games, so Winter Olympics were held in both 1991 and 1993, beginning the new cycle.

[MasterJedi]

That's interesting, I didn't expect you to put in Olympics stuff!

[True Federalist]

There is absolutely no way in any conceiveable timeline that Washington, DC could play host to the Olympics.  New York would be a good candidate for the 1948 games, but not Washington.  Washington was, is, and always will be a one company town and that company doesn't need to host the Games to promote its business.  The US is one of a handful of nations whose political capital is not also its financial capital and the Summer Olympics have always been held in cities with some degree of economic importance in their host country.

good point

[PBrunsel]

Is Herbert Hoover still alive?

If he is he is at the age of 118.

[Platypus]

I believe he is campaigning for Chuck's re-election.

[PBrunsel]

Is Randy Jones still an Alabama High School Principal in this story?

[Harry]

so do yall want me to start making ERA TWO?

[??????????]

so do yall want me to start making ERA TWO?

Yes, or I will slam your head in a car door.

[MasterJedi]

We wanted you to start making it MONTHS ago!!!

[Harry]

Hey...I'm working on Era Two now!
Here's a vague preview, and we'll see if yall can guess it before I post!:
**A man comes out of nowhere to rise to the presidency.
**A vice president goes down in scandal.
**Someone lands on the moon.
**Seven new states before 2000!
