Is there something keeping expansionist powers from trying to conquer their neighbours? If not, Weird War II Germany is likely to seize a lot of territory quite quickly until they run into Reign of Steel Moscow.

Re: Patchwork world
 

Followed by a global nuclear war between the winner and New Dehli, Texas and New York-Ottowa?

But yeah, settings with a lot of neighbors at wildly different tech levels depend a lot on genre convention to stay stable, whether that's abutting axioms or planets in an interstellar setting.

I personally have no objections to the Scarlet Pimpernel teaming up with Chauvelin to run a resistance group assisted by Nimue. It's actually quite likely though that Hitler will turn much of the area around him into tributary states rather than trying to occupy it all. It's a lot of space to occupy and he lost a lot of the force he'd use to occupy it because he didn't get to take the space he was already occupying. Meaning while he has mad scientists, he's short on actual foot soldiers. Also...I have no current ideas for what should be in Poland. Nobody ever wrote a GURPS: Poland.

And I haven't figured out where Interstellar Wars, Transhuman Space and Dungeon Fantasy should go. Maybe the Balkans for Dungeon Fantasy? Maybe fill in the Adriatic Sea for more of it. That would work well for the Greek heroes. I went easy on Patchwork World by giving them one of the least aggressive supercomputers, instead of, say, Manila or Zaire.
