A thread for innocent amusement, or an occasionally witty satirical allegory. How WWII would have played out if we replaced all the leaders involved with Disco 1iCs, devs or grey eminences? Or any major historical event during or before it, but best not after, because later events are still a bit too sensitive by my judgement. Freely enjoy weaving a fun scenario.
Here's a rough outline of mine:
In 1939 Germany and Italy attack Turkey because it has a POB on a major trade route. Greece joins because Turkey ganked them 20 years ago. Poland helps Germany because the Polish leader and the German leader are friends on Discord. France, Britain, the USA and the USSR receive incriminating reports about Turkish ganks and decide to join against Turkey. The Netherlands accuse France of imperialism, declare war, and launch an invasion from Dutch Indochina into French Indochina to expand the Dutch Empire. For some reason Italy sends weapons to Turkey, which angers Germany, but nothing really happens. Suddenly, the USA declares war on Britain because Britain exploited them in the 18th century. A man from Liechtenstein is arrested in Germany, and as a response, Liechtenstein bans all German flights above their airspace. This somehow bankrupts German plane companies and the domino effect causes the collapse of Germany. Meanwhile, the USSR reaches 1st place in the world by production, including natural gas production, but somehow never produces a capital ship.
