Tsunami Timeline - Complete

[Person Man]

Wow. This is pretty good. It sort of seems that 2012 really did mean something in this timeline. Then again, with nearly world-wide social unrest and epic disasters in even modern countries, it seems like this in OTL.

It is very likely there were massive die offs due to civil war and starvation in the rest of the world. I am guessing China and India's industrial revolution bit the dust pretty darn quick and hundreds of millions might of died of famine and disease in those two countries alone. In fact a nuclear war in South Asia may have broken out...perhaps even in the Middle East as Israel's enemies see an opportunity to invade and respond in kind.

[Person Man]

Yeah. I would really want to know. I am guessing the world's in a pretty big die off.

You mean there's no gay sex scandal with that nancy boy being President?

So were 20 years in after the wave.  Pretty impressive. In fact, it appeared that though this crises nearly destroyed the US, it sent America's competitors into either wars with eachother or into Civil War....and gave the US a chance to reassert its sovereignty against large estates and to avert climate change.  Basically, in the year 2200, historians would have guessed that but for the wave, the US would be in the fight for its life by mid-century, but instead appeared to have quietly shored up its territorial integrity by fully annexing Puerto Rico and Canada, stopped the privatization of its polity, created a reliable healthcare infrastructure, proved the universiality of its justice systen, fought climate change, diversified its energy technology and delivery portfolio and had many of its national security problems implode on themselves.

A generation after the wave, it appeared America had a second chance in a reset world.

I would like to think that I gave you a new way forward and a theme to your TL- does America make good on its second chance or did the wave simply give the US a few decades until the inevitable occurs. Many wealthy individuals simply say "redistribute all of the wealth or Earth and in 10 years, the same people will have the same wealth as before".  Then again, maybe people will have the chance to learn from their mistakes. It would be interesting to see a TL with some future tech and perhaps some sort of cultural or scientific black swan. Perhaps computing  without machines, some form of exotic AI, the discovery of biology outside of planet Earth or maybe the development of a large, armed and global social democratic insurgency.

What about the three Italian states are named Lazio, Lombardy and Siciliy...and the Spanish Republics are named Basquia and Avalusia?

...and it appears that the United States is now the largest country, by area, in the world.

..and the new Russian states can be named
 Siberia; capital- Vladivostok  and Tartary; capital- Omsk.

It ends on an ominous note though...saying there will be one day be a last president. That would actually make a good timeline.
