Re: Alternate Versions of Inifinite Worlds
Other alternates I'd want to look at:
We need a communist alternate. Actually, we probably need two, one in which the gilded age has a much messier end and America is the first socialist revolution, and another that's some form of soviet victory.
An alternate where the US absorbs foreign territory a lot more ambitiously. The Philippines, Puerto Rico, and several central American countries are all states.
A Crony Democracy System featuring machine politics, corrupt state bosses, and the occasional bout of mass vigilantism.
An America of over 70% African decent: the northern colonization efforts never really took off, and the main thrust of colonization was via plantations.
