That's a very good question and I'm glad you asked it. In other words, I used up all my knowledge of the Commonwealth already and you saw where that led me.
If Johan had managed to seduce the Finnish nobility before Erik decided to imprison him in 1563, he might have been able to meet Erik's...
As in, no Union of Lublin, Poland and Lithuania remain in personal union only? When the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania die(s) childless in 1572, that may well lead to more disagreements than in OTL (which was pretty confused already). It's not inconceivable that only one of them...
If the Constable, Clas Eriksson Fleming, hadn't died so suddenly in 1597 he might have been able to hold Finland and maybe even Estonia for Sigismund. He had just crushed a peasant rebellion fomented by Duke Charles. But afterwards? If Charles manages to seize Sweden west of the Baltic, can...
All right, awesome! .doc would be great. I can start working on them whenever. Can you see my email address? (I'm still unfamiliar with the new layout of ah.com)

Gravity is a harsh mistress. :(
Beautiful! Both your work and the originals. Luckily the stamp of the archives doesn't disfigure any interesting details.
A bold and courageous plan. Too bad the historical dialectic demands it will prove ultimately futile, these brave men sacrificing their lives to merely delay the inevitable reckoning.
I have no idea about the technical feasibility of these RRs either, but I think they are too awesome not to...
What a nice young policeman! So generous and polite. I wonder what happened to him afterwards.
In those lean days, gardening was surely a good way to supplement your meager rations.
They're going to have so much fun. Fun around the clock. For some values of fun.
But it could be worse. Since the standard gauge lines only run so far, at least they can expect their engines and rolling stock back. Reasonably soon and (even more important) all accounted for. There's no telling...
A separate province consisting of "cultural homelands" for the resettled Finnic peoples would probably be quite likely in this situation. But how much actual autonomy it would have, that's a different question. My impression is that Åland has its autonomy almost entirely due to the League of...
