Anglosphere

Welcome to the landing page for my Alternate Future timeline, Anglosphere.

**"The Union Forever, hurrah! Boys, Hurrah! Down with the traitors, up with the stars!"**

## Welcome to Anglosphere

Hello, my fellow countrymen, welcome to this alternate history timeline made by me, ~~Mr. President~~ I mean Awesome Pinerin. Anglosphere is an alternate future timeline where the Core Anglosphere states (that is, the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) combines into one single superstate. The timeline revolves around the new United States, now with 70 states and a brand-new government mixed with a multitude of Anglophones. This world is still very heavily under construction, and only a few nations have completed content so far.

### (probably) FAQ's:

* **When is this scenario set? -** The entire scenario is told from the perspective of someone from the year 2050.
* **Will this timeline ever be made into a mod? -** Unfortunately, not from me at least. I know nothing about coding, nor do I even actually play HOI4. That being said, if any developers see this and want to make this into a mod, do it.
* **Where did you get the inspiration from for the pages? -** The New Order and the Kaiserreich wikis. Both are some of my favorites in the alternate history community. That's why the infoboxes are similar to TNO ones.

## Inspiration

This scenario is an original timeline created by me. Not much to say honestly.

## Points of Divergence

While this is an Alternate Future scenario, the points of divergence are set in 2022. In Anglosphere, the timelines makes two main points of divergence.

* Russia is able to defeat Ukraine completely, although it was far from a smooth victory that Putin expected. The Russian Military is better equipped, resulting in a more effective blitzkrieg during the first days of the War. In this alternate April of 2022, Russia makes a minor retreat from Kyiv, instead focusing (and later, capturing) Chernihiv. Russia was also successful in taking Mykolaiv, doing so in June. The war however, would not end by the end of 2022; in fact, it turned into a slugfest of trench warfare and brutal urban combat. The New Depression towards the end of 2022 would effectively ruin the West's efforts of supporting Ukraine, and at the start of 2023, Russia launches a major offensive in the Donbas region, capturing Kharkiv, Sumy and Zaporizhzhia. The Ukrainian resolve collapses soon afterwards, and as tanks drive into Kyiv on April 9th, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was executed on the spot, as his wife Olena forms the Ukrainian Provisional Government, retreating west to the Polish-Romanian border regions.
* Liz Truss does not resign after 50 days, and she is much more insistent on her plans than her OTL self. In this timeline, Truss passes a series of tax cuts and pushes forward her Mini-Budget. Kwasi Kwarteng is also never sacked despite the obvious disaster, and the end result was a total collapse of the British Economy. Truss also upscales British support on Ukraine as she increases the defense budget to 100 billion prematurely. The stricken economy of the UK came crumbling down in late 2022 after the New Depression began, forcing millions of people homeless, with many of the poorest literally freezing to death from overly inflated energy bills. The British Economy wound up not only tanking, but utterly ruined by the end of Truss' Premiership in 2024, with the Pound being effectively worthless and widespread chaos all across the nation. The Conservatives would be wiped out in the 2024 General Election, losing over 300 seats, ending up with just 35 seats left.

## Summary

It's the year 2050. The world has changed beyond all recognition than the one most people knew 30 years ago. Technology has evolved dramatically for the better, with fusion power plants dominating the power industry, while the issues of food and water has long been a thing of the past with the invention of vertical farming and a much more cost-effective and environmentally friendly desalination plants. The world is relatively peaceful, and recently, mankind has completed the ambitious Trans-Atlantic Tunnel, connecting the British Isles to America. A true technological marvel for humanity.

Despite how comfortable life has been in recent times, most of the world's leaders remembers the tragedies that plagued the world in the 2020s and later in the late 2030s and early 40s. In the 2020s, the global climate began to go haywire as natural disasters became more than frequent. Constant wars, along with economic collapses and the fracturing of alliances caused the entire world to be on the brink of a Third World War. It was in this tense environment that the world's main superstate was born - the United States of the Anglosphere, or USA. Formed in an act of desperation after the Euro-American Split and to save the economies of the Five Eyes alliance, the USA started out as an unstable political mess, before changes in the constitution in the 2030s stabilized it. Many credit the work of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and later Ron DeSantis for their efforts in stabilizing the nation, but some argued that it was more due to a sense of an Anglophone identity forming that really kickstarted the Union.

Across the other side of the Ocean, the European Federation is also an enigma. Born out of a time of crisis in the late 2020s, the EF initially only had the fear of Russia to bond it together. However, after the Russian Collapse and the subsequent election of President Sanna Marin, the EF shifted to a full-on federal union, with living standards skyrocketing in the late 2030s. While there are major disputes as to how influential has the three-term Prime Minister Greta Thunberg been in propping up the European economy, most in 2050 does admit that the future looks brighter for the EU as a whole. Even the Russian Republic, who has been under the European boot for 15 years are now resurging as a proper country after the loosening of the European grip over the area. And in China, they are also very gradually federalizing, as the Chinese Socialist Party are beginning to loosen their grip over the people to hopefully one day, complete the transition into democratic socialism.

The outlook of the world is promising, with the wealth inequality decreasing across the world and political unity increasing. But how did we get here? Find out in Anglosphere.
