Well, it's interesting for me. Think of this like fanasty. It's fiction. It's meant to be different. Different can be interesting.

Fiction is only interesting if the stories are consistent and follow their own internal rules. The limits of the possible are usually clearly defined in genres like sci-fi and fantasy, so that the audience can ease into the world without having their suspension of disbelief broken by some sudden, previously impossible occurrence. In the case of alternate history, those rules of the story are the same rules that we live by in reality, since it takes place in the real world. If you bend those rules too far, then everyone reading your story loses all interest.
If they read it for realism, yes. But all interest is not realism.
You say it's interesting, but most of the people are here either to criticise you, or to mock you. Maybe you're right, "it's interesting to you". Not anybody else. You tell us you can answer any questions, but the only answer you can give is "it happened" or "because I want it so". That's not answering questions. You say history doesn't matter(funny, in a History forum), it's present that is interesting, but how can we believe that you can create an interesting present when you were unable to imagine even the broad lines of your history, in, as you claim, "over a year" of work? No, I think your present is just as boring and random as your past.
I quoted you seven times in my post. Certainly I had to read the thread in order to be able to do it.
It's an interesting world for me. I do what I like. I enjoy working on this alternate history.
Oh come on. If you just wanted to do what you like you would do it by yourself. If you're posting this on a forum you want to get attention. Sorry if it didn't quite work out as expected.
I am doing it by myself. I like to share it. A lot of work, why keep it to myself.
The connection with history is cosmetic at best. For example if you took your great power list
And replaced it with semi random related names
Great Powers are now
The setting doesn't get any less interesting or make less sense.

I have made a timeline when it's diverge from history and what happens during those years up to today.
History is more than just a list of events, you can't suddenly just break away from reality if you are creating an alternate-history. What you have created is a fantasy scenario for Swedish civic nationalists.
Yes, an interesting scenario where the world is different.
It's an interesting world to explore, what it would be like.
You keep using that word but I don't think you understand what it means.
It is interesting for me. It may not be for you. What would society be like in this world. I think about it and come up with a possibility.
