    WI: USA goes Proportional Democracy

    Lets not bother about how (that's a very difficult kettle of fish since neither Democrats or Republicans would be fans of losing their 'special snowflake big tent' status), but how would USA evolve politically if they had turned into some variant of Proportional Representation in the late 40s?

    WI: Aryanism in a non-Nazist context

    How would the beliefs of Aryanism evolve if noone took the theories anywhere near the extremes that WW2 Germany tried to? either because the Nazis had a even tighter focus on National Germans instead of Ethnic germanic or simply (and perhaps more difficult to theory about) no Nazist rise...

    WI: Marginalized Christian Right / Secularized USA
