Rex Glacies Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Indonesia. In that universe, Christopher Columbus realized that he landed in America instead of the Indies, so he just continued sailing, forced his men to create the Panama Canal in the 15th century, and reached Indonesia. All the European powers focused on this achievement instead of the Americas, and colonized the Oceania semi-continent. Finally, in the 18th century, Austria was the main power in Indonesia, but the colonists rebelled, forming the first democratic country the world had seen since ancient Athens. The country went through numerous wars and troubling periods, but by now in its world it is the world's most powerful supernation. In an alternate universe, the internet...

Rex Glacies Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Squirrels. By World War IV, most of the human population had died out, so in order to keep our survival while still fighting each other for resources and territories, people had to resort to employing squirrels in their army. However, as they were rodents with a one-track mind on nuts and food, they proved useless in the army. Therefore, people decided to catapult acorns and birdseed onto enemy territory, and released the squirrels to invade and find the food. This led to many rodent-caused deaths, and severely lowered moral on all sides. In another universe, Lego's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Glacies Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 a tempologist. Because time travel is very common in that universe, there are a number of doctors that study diseases and illnesses that occur when people mess with the time-space continuum. For example, if you go back in time to a point where you were still living, there is a possibility that an internal organ of yours would de-exist, because it has been effectively cloned. Tempologists would have to grow a new organ for you, and fix other problems caused by things existing in two places simultaneously.

But magic stopped existing when the computer was invented, so the modern internet that uses technology was born.
