  1. Weekly Flag Challenge Poll #21

    1 Based on the gambling reference in the challenge post, here's the flag of JAQCPOT, showing its 'BlaqcJaqc' emblem. The Joint Association of Quality Casinos and Performers' Orbital Territory was one of the first privately owned orbital space stations to be launched, quickly challenging the more...
  2. Flag Challenge #19

    Hi All, Apparently I created more controversy than intended, but I hope everyone understands I was just trying something new - after 18 rounds I thought changing it up a little couldn't be a bad thing. For those who found it problematic I apologize. But changing the rules now only means the...

    Apologies to Eigenwelt, but we're anxious to move to the voting! Great contributions all around, if I may say so.

    A good round, with great submissions for the challenge of: In honour of the Vancouver Olympics (Go Canada!) your challenge is to design a flag for a biennial Cold War-era international sporting competition for 'western' nations (essentially excluding the ComIntern nations). Here are the...

  7. Soviet Geo-engineering

    The Soviets did a lot of damage to the hydrology of Central Asia, almost drying up the Aral sea, damming of the Kara Bogaz Gol from the Caspian, nearly drying it out as well, diverting rivers, etc. etc. Besides that, the Caspian Sea is 90 ft below sea-level. What if the large-scale engineering...
  8. Hong Kong

    Question: what are the chances that Communist China, fresh from forcing the Nationalists off the mainland and into Taimwanese "exile", mis-calculates and atacks Hong Kong and Macau, attempting to remove "imperialist stains to our native soil"? Britain successfully defends its territory from the...
  9. Virginia Maxima

    The map below is of a Virginia incorporating all it's claims in the North West Territories. What could happen to lead to this? I'd think armed conflict with New York is a distinct possibility, given the large overlap.
  10. Caesar Warned

    I accidentally posted this in the Post-1900 forum yesterday. It was moved here and then somehow moved back. So rather than let it languish, I thought I'd repost: On the day he was assassinated, Julius Caesar was almost given warning of the plot against him not once, but twice: A house-hold...
  11. Caesar Warned

    On the day he was assassinated, Julius Caesar was almost given warning of the plot against him not once, but twice: A house-hold errand boy learned of the plot but not of it's planned date or location. He arrived at the Julii house just after Caesar left for the Forum, and sat to wait for his...
  12. What happened here?

    Some ideas I've had... Call it a present day map.
  13. Rome Reborn! Cool website

    http://www.romereborn.virginia.edu/ Shows in computer model the city of Rome at it height in 320 AD.
  14. Flag Challenge - Good bye Union Jacks

    The challenge - pick a OTL flag that displays the Union Jack and provide a new, country/region/province appropriate design. Think of Canada adopting the Maple Leaf flag in 1967. The reason? No reason except there's a lot of flags to play with. The prize? One million bucks, payable...
  15. What if Roman Britain followed the Vikings' route to the New World?

    Idea came to me from the post on Carthaginians in the New World. My speculation is that it's easier to 'island hop' (Caledonia, Faroes, Iceland, Greenland, Labrador, voila!) across the North Atlantic than across the mid-Atlantic. The Canaries and Bermuda are just too small and remote to make for...
