Alternative history always seems to result in the dissection of the grandest of the world's empires.But back on topic: the background for this RP seems very strange and unusually specific. Is the world as it is described in the wiki?

As Hugs said the Wiki is probably not THE best source since there's a lot of articles to update and fix. I'm still in the process of cataloging the posts of the second generation thread for referencing purposes. Beyond that, it'll be a sort-of picture of what's going on. 

Per the unusually specific nature of the setting: it's because we're not starting over. Most of the surviving members of this RP put three years of writing into our nations and we're not eager to let it go and start over from day one. We're continuing a month after where we left off, which should start up in an era of Great Habbening. And because of that, many of the at-first strange specefic elements of the RP are being brought into here as the plot setting. 

But the general gist is: alternate, longer First World War that killed everyone that would have been a major player in the Second World War and didn't end on a note that would lead to another within living memory.
