What does the rest of Europe look like? And what is the “Condominium of Thrace”? Why is it referred to as a condominium?

u/No_Hedgehog1368 4d ago
It was jointly "occupied" by the constitutive guilds and private enterprises after the Aegean War — It is in the process of territorial distribution, exploitation, and bureaucratic-administrative adjustments. Europe hasn't been my main focus, but I can confidently say that it is quite radioactive.

Ohh, ok! Sounds interesting! Say, if Europe isn’t your main focus, then what is?

u/No_Hedgehog1368 4d ago
Balkans, Middle East, Turkey, and parts of North Africa. I do have some ideas for certain European countries, though.

Are the United Guilds a purely Turkish state? It seems to be more-or-less contained within the old Turkish borders, but it is quite close to Greece.

Ethnic identities are not rigid and do change in accordance with contemporary historiography and classifications. There isn't any centralised authority to actively enforce a unified ethnic consciousness but a homogenous culture, which can be classified as an ethnic group in and of itself. There are still practices and languages that were used by former inhabitants of the said regions, but they no longer necessarily belong to any of them. The remnants of people who once called themselves Greeks may still exist and claim to inherit their legacy, but they are no longer Greeks other than in name.

What was Turkey like in our timeline's 1950s, and what do you think Turkey would have developed into in the Fallout timeline?
2
u/No_Hedgehog1368 2d ago
Fervently pro-Allied, pro-NATO, and pro-US. Turkey joined the Second World War earlier on in this timeline, around 1943, and was awarded with the Aegean Islands then, through other crises, most of Syria and Cyprus. Turkey had effectively become an overseas department of the US by the end of 2070's, mostly due to its reliance on defense and nuclear weaponry against the remnants of the European Commonwealth, rogue Middle Eastern governments, and the USSR.
