The population of The United States would be 75 billion, most of whom would be Sunni Moslem.

Man would not have walked on the moon, there would be no aircraft, atomic energy, or computers. Instead, the finest minds of the last 5 generations have been dedicated to improving the quality of Luxury Furniture.

Euro-Social Democracy would have it's roots in the Prussian Empire's shining example of free healthcare, education and worker's rights.

No one would chose a profession. Instead the Communist Central Commitee would assign graduates to either the National Artillery Corporation, or the National Clothing Association.

The world's supply of iron ore and would have been expended by 1910, coinciding with the opening of the Central Asian High Speed Railway, final link in an unbroken river of steel stretching from Saskatchwan to Sydney.

Conscription would be mandatory for all men aged 5 and above.

President Kruschev would have delivered his "Winds of Change" speech to the Russian Duma, outlining Russia's decision to grant autonomy to their African colonies.

Sweet Home Alabama would be #1 for the 78th consecutive week in the Confederate States of America. It's run at the top of the charts would outlast 5 seperate Wars Of Continued Northern Agression.

Rioting would break out at the 1982 World Cup Final between Sardinia-Piedmont and Kingdom Of Two Sicilies. Taunting between both sets of fans as each claimed to be "Italia" would escalate to rioting. Austrian and French police would be flown in to restore order.

"Skiing on The Volga" would win the 1996 Best Documentary (short form) Oscar. This charming, and witty view of life in Ferdinandgrad, eastern-most city in the Empire would charm viewers around the world.

Bhutan would have defaulted on their creditors. A plan to restructure their 200 trillion debt with another unsecured loan from the World Bank would be proposed almost immediately.

Bill Parcells would transform the fortunes of the Dallas Gauchos, restoring the NFL's flagship team with a surprise run at the playoffs. Since the 6 nations comprising North America merged their leagues, the Mexican team would have already amassed 4 Superbowls.

LOL! You've outdone yourself with this one. :)

Oh, and don't forget;

Duke Wilhelm Gatter would be the richest man in the most advanced economy in the world - Austria - thanks to the success of his company MikroSoft.

The British army would be larger then the American, Chinese, Russian, and Confederate Armies combined, and while the British navy would likewise be far larger, most of the ships would be suffering from severe wood rot.

...and the Communist party would still be trying to make headway in Russia, while the Liberals and Conservatives were running neck and neck...

...Britain and the USA would have the most highly developed shipyards in the world, able to build Dreadnoughts in HUGE quantities, while the rest of the world wasn't even bothering to build Battleships...

If like were like Victoria..

Small nations like Luxembourg would have armies that maneuvered intelligently and never lost, while the most powerful nations leaders would always try frontal assaults.

If one nation lost a battle, they could reset the world and try again. All the other nations would cry "Cheater."

Meanwhile, public and private education is strangely absent while the government gives a paltry amount of resources to force people to quit their country lifestyles to work in the factories.

Texans never actually get to join the U.S. despite repeated wars.

Partisans can be reinforced to full division-level strength behind enemy lines in minutes!

Germans are entirely confused when both Germany and the North German Federation fly the same flag, have the same leader, yet are still seperate countries.

George W. Bush would be forced to declare war on only one nation a year due to a lack of diplomatic influence

Slavs, Magyars, Romanians, and Poles would still claim allegience to the Austrian Empire

India carries on its long divisive history because Britain is more likely to lose their provinces to rebellion than to unify the subcontinent

No one ever builds the Suez Canal because we can't annex Cairo without taking out the rest of Egypt!

Western Australia is still disputed between the Netherlands and Britain

China is covered with forts across the nation but refuses to build the slightest inkling of a road

Domestic economy has no meaning as every durable good must be exported to make money

Malthusian doctrine is proved a farce since no one actually eats food, they only need it to be available while still reproducing at an average rate of .3% a month

This Prussian free helthcare is a true one :D. Krup in the middle of the 19th century was the first to introduce complete free healthcare and pension system for all of his employees families. The other employers and the govenment followed.

The education was free of course.
