Alternate Earths 3, What Worlds? (hypothetical) - Page 36

So, if GURPS released an Alternate Earths 3 book, what 6 alternate Earths would you like to see given in-depth coverage?

My ideas:

- Haussman 2: mentioned only in passing in the opening fiction to "Infinite Worlds" this world, with its ornothopters, makes me think of romantic feudalism & pulp sky pirates. I'd like to see it fleshed out.

- Centrum Beta: We know alot about the Centrum today, its operations, & its philosophy, but not alot about its culture & society before the Last War (other than that there was a global Franco-English Empire). I think some depth on Centrum's only known Echo would be nice.

- Azoth 7: I'd love some more details here

- Armada 2: Fascinating world that could be even better fleshed out, with focus on the extended life of swashbuckling piracy & perhaps the Spanish Inquisition's expansion across most of Europe & the New World (I'd imagine upon the successful conquering of England in 1588, the Inquisition would be the ones charged with converting them back to Catholicism)... that could be the reason WHY the world isn't as advanced in the 19th Century present of Armada 2 as in Homeline's history, the Inquisition stiffled the Enlightenment!

- Nergal: fantastic setting

- I'd think for the 6th World it should be one we haven't heard of before... the two ideas that leap to my mind is a world where Guy Fawkes succeded in blowing up Parliment, unintentionally birthing the philosophy of Anarchism far earlier & leading to global rebellions & revolutions against the concept of government; or a world where Alexander the Great was killed on the field of battle & Persia conquered Hellenistic civilization leading to a very different course for Western history.
