(Spiritual successor to 2012 - Modern day and 2015: Winds of Change)
The first divergence of real-world time occurs in 737 AD, when the Byzantines attacked the Umayyads, who's armies were besieging East Tourkia at the time, severely weakening their empire. Later, with their strength increased from a lack of Umayyad reinforcements, they were able to hold on to Turkey and Lebanon, and last until 1994; This also caused East Tourkia to last until modern day.
In 1858, the state of Deseret surrendered to the US, but Brigham Young was allowed to remain governor of the Utah territory, and the Mormons continued to practice polygamy, leading to a greater nationalism by the 1980s.
In the 1940s Italy took the side of the Allies against Germany and Japan, and the latter joined the allied powers in 1944; The defeated Germans fled to the Balkan states and spread their ideology, eventually taking power and founding a state of their own. Brazil and Venezuela fought a war during this period.
During the cold war, Ethiopia seceded and the South African government was deposed by peaceful coup. India and Pakistan went to war and lost much of their power.
In 1991, the United Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States shattered.
From the former USA comes 6 countries:
The Republic of Texas (Texas, half of New Mexico, Oklahoma Panhandle, a bit of Colorado and Wyoming)
Alaska (Alaska)
State of Deseret (Nevada, Utah, Arizona, part of California)
California Republic (California)
The Confederate States of America (Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee)
The Republic of America (Everything else)
The US has lost most of it's oil and much of it's other resources, as well as it's population. Soldiers went AWOL and flocked back to their homestates. All of the post-United States, along with Italy, inherited nuclear weapons, but the Republic of America has all of the launch codes, and Texas controls the only nuclear weapons assembly facility, Pantex.
The fall of the US lead to a collapse of NATO, and the Chinese economy was decimated as trade with the US was it's primary economic.
Also during the 1990s, the Mansour Caliphate arose from Egypt and conquered the middle-east, Iran, Turkestan, Afghanistan, and the Caucasian post-soviet states.

Rules
Be realistic
That's all, but I mean it. Don't expect Mauritania to conquer Poland, or Mexico and Equatorial Guinea to merge into a single country; Give a reason for your countries existence if it isn't a real-world nation. You can change other parts of history so long as it doesn't conflict with the existing story.
Don't nark your fellow RPrs to the mods
Narks will be kicked, disagreeing with someone is not a grounds to report them for trolling/flaming/whatever else. Note that I said your fellow RPrs, you're free to report any randoms that happen to jump on the thread and shitpost.
