The situation in 2000

Iran is split between the reformist President Mohammad Khatami and the hardliners around Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Across the border sits a Saddam who outlasted the Gulf coalition, and Tehran's nuclear and missile programmes quietly advance.

TNDThe New Dawn

What if Chernobyl had broken the Soviet Union? In 1986 Moscow buried the disaster, Ukraine rose, and by 1988 the Union was gone. A bloodier Gulf War and a split over Yugoslavia ended NATO, and Europe built a Defence Union of its own.
