A political world situation in 2013

Description

Borrowed from :icongeneralhelghast:'s blank world map.

I was inspired by a map and Timeline called Russian America in some wiki and decided to take a stab on it. I've also knew the author of the timeline.

The POD is that the Russian-American company is more aggressive in colonizing Fort Ross. The Russians aided the Mexicans in their independence from Spain; however, the Catholic Mexicans and Orthodox Russians had broke off around the Fort Ross issue. As a result, it allowed the Americans to annex parts of Mexico as in OTL.

Hawaii in the meantime is a British protectorate; it resisted attempts to be annexed by the United States. There are plans that they are to be colonized and added to Canada [eh?], but they are shelved. The protectorate was removed by Britain in 1890.

Ironically, it was the Japanese after the Russo-Japanese war who annexed Hawaii. As a result, the Russians and the Americans guarded the Japanese carefully.

Meanwhile, in World War I, the Alaskan colonies seceded from Russia; however, some of the republics are Bolshevik friendly; one even was Trotskyist [which was promptly crushed by the Alaskan SSR.] The Anglo [meaning OTL Canadian and American or Cascadian] Russian colonies had allied themselves with anti-Bolshevik Slavs and gang up the Alaskan SSR; as a result, it was reduced to the Aleutian Islands in 1937 and begged to join the USSR, which the latter granted.

When World War II erupted, Japanese forces from OTL Pearl Harbor attempted a repeat of Battle of Tsushima to San Francisco Harbor. The Americans despite their relative laxity just sprang up and swatted them like flies, though not without heavy casualties. The Japanese planes, having run out of fuel, crashed their planes in despair to any American target-the inspiration for the kamikaze attacks.

The Russians and Alaskans patched up their differences and joined the war against Japan. Japan had been divided into Soviet, Alaskan, and American zones and permitted to rearm as in OTL; Manchuria was converted to a Soviet satellite state. Korea is divided as in OTL and the Korean War happened as OTL; the difference is that Mao's forces were joined by native Manchurians in the counterattack meant to save Kim Il Sung.

However, in 1956, there was the Komandorski Islands crisis where the Alaskans and the Russians clashed in Aleutia; later, most of Aleutia was turned over by the Soviets into Alaska. The Alaskans had left NATO, felt abandoned. They purchased arms from Finland, therefore arming themselves with the same weapons the Soviets had. The Alaskan AVAR-65 was the Alaskan copy of the Finnish RK-62 assault rifle.

Hawaii was given independence as in OTL. Its restored King then successfully pressured to give the other Pacific colonies independence, and where not possible, as in the Maori, autonomy. Like in OTL, it is a resort paradise. Unlike in OTL, though, it was also a center of the videogame industry, giving American, Japanese, Korean, and European makers a run for their money.

Manchuria experienced a cultural revival of the Manchu culture, albeit mainly linguistically, and the Manchu alphabet was written in Cyrillic. As a result, it had poor relations with China [resulting in the Sino-Vietnamese-Manchurian Border War of 1979], but the Manchus resisted the Chinese well. Even the majority is Chinese, these Chinese disliked to be run by Mao and they prefer their ethnic Manchu dictator to the mainland Chinese. They tend to follow the Moscow line, and when perestroika and the fall of the Soviet regime in 1991 followed, the Manchus did the same with the Orchid Revolution of 1991, which demonopolized Communist Party rule, albeit the Communists remained in power.

North Korea had even worse relations with the Manchus starting in 1980, because Manchuria participated along with Vietnam for the overthrowing of Pol Pot's government. Manchu commandos assassinated Pol Pot in 1992. North Korea's history was the same as in OTL...until 1994. The Manchus have received reports that their citizens are held up in Yodok concentration camp on suspicion of spying.

Then the One Year War happened.

The North Koreans, under Jong-il's rule, had shot down an Alaskan Airlines plane. It was turned out that the Alaskan president's daughter was in it. Enraged, the Alaskan President had declared war on North Korea. The Manchus, learning that their people were executed in Yodok, declared that Kim Jong Il is a second Pol Pot, sent armor rolling into North Korea. Despite vailant efforts by the KPA, the Manchu Tiger Marksmen, as the Manchu Special Forces are now renamed, nearly assassinated Kim Jong-il [but got his wife instead] in Pyongyang. Kim Jong-il was later killed in Japan in 1999. Yes, Japan, with Manchurian commandos in salarymen attire kidnapping him in Yokohama, then assassinating him in Tokyo in Shinjuku. Since the governor of Tokyo at that time is Shintaro Ishihara, he only merely imprisoned the surviving commandos after a shootout with the JGSDF and Police and deported them to Manchuria.

The Coalition literally ganged up on North Korea, whose government under Chang Su-taek surrendered to South Korea; the North is placed under the Office of the Vice President, specifically revived in South Korea to be the voice of the North, under a defected Northern politician named Hwang Jang-yop. It took a good toll in South Korea's financial resources, but the Alaskans and the Manchus bailed them out, and the formerly two Koreas walked as one as before. The difference in the Korean Wave is that many OTL North Korean singers are indistinguishable from Southern counterparts. Take for example, an OTL of a North Korean singer in a commercial with a South Korean company, that was Cho Myung Eh and Lee Hyori In the TTL, Cho Myung Eh [the Northerner] is wearing a western style dress instead of the hanbok, so the difference is that the Northerners still tend to be a bit more conservative in dress relatively. However, the northerners would even be more crazed with plastic surgery than the Southerners do.

The Manchus finally were, in the words of a female citizen whom the media failed to identify but for a scar on her face, "vindicated by history." Both the PRC and the ROC recognized Manchuria's independence as well as Mongolia, though both Chinas mock Manchuria as Japanophile or Koreanophile weaboos.

Japan is the same as OTL except with Nukes, developed secretly, but they tend to be content with 20 ICBMs, as the Koreans wanted little more than the numbers of a Russian Typhoon nuke submarine's nuclear payload. The Manchus had twice that amount, being still pointed by Beijing, after all. Japan had a female prime minister for a while, a popular one who was a former ''porn actress'' named Ai Iijima. Japan, of course, still produces a lot of hentai and porn as in OTL.

As for Alaska, its south experienced a Greater Cascadia independence movement, not taken seriously by the Slavs as it was an Anglo movement. It had nuclear weapons, it is a UNSC Permanent Member]. The Novy Vankuver Kaskadianskis [the OTL name for the Vancouver Canucks] were a pain in the rival Canadian and American teams in NHL. The Alaskans can be said to be literally owning the NHL franchise; when Gary Bettman locked out the league in 2004, the Alaskans, both the Anglo and Slav, but mostly Slav, are not amused. A riot ensured in Novy Vankuver when he visited the city.

Alaska also a brief enviromentalist streak, but its status as an unabashed nuclear power curtailed its effectiveness, despite the Ecotopic parties attempt to influence politics. The Alaskans, especially the Slavs and the Natives, are generally conservative in politics, . However, an Anglo Prime Minister named Sara Peilin, aka Sarah Palin, took office despite her cloudcuckoolander status. She did got better as a guest in FOX news, later at Alyesknews.

Canada's Borden bought Greenland and the Turks and Caicos, both enjoy territorial status. They are horrified when the Alaskans pirated the shelved Avro Arrow, however, the Alaskans have agreed to sell the Orel [the pirated Avro Arrow] Fighters under the name Arrow, which made Alaskan-Canadian relations better.

Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are US states; pressure is mounting into giving the East Samoans and the Marianas statehood.

The Philippines is independent and except for a better-equipped military, gracefully provided by Alaska and Manchuria [some from its own, some captured North Korean] to a grateful Fidel Ramos, is the same situation as in OTL, not poor, but not rich either. Porn, though illegal by law as in OTL Philippines, thrives more than OTL. Attempts of censorship even by the Catholic Church were now seen thanks to the Internet will be compared to violating the US First Amendment.

Note: If you are watching Hetalia from OTL, there will be of course, differences in this version.

Alaska appears, as a guy in parka, voiced by the same VA as Mister Nice Boat in School Days. Mexico appears, too, as a maid with a rifle, voiced by Ayako Kawasumi. The Philippines appear as a mean twin-tailed tsundere, and had even Rie Kugimiya as seiyuu.Both Koreas also appear in one episode; both are twins and distinguishable only with the ahoge. Both are voiced by the same VA as Lelouch Lamperouge, though both appear on only one episode. The North serves as a straight man to the South, and uses the Lelouch voice. Manchuria appears as well, and is quite a bit a masculine [though definitely a girl]. She will share the same VA as Belarus in OTL.
