That's the challenge, deciding what's different. I need help with this area, while keeping it realistic.
With a 1991 POD you're probably going to want to go with something with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Either it stays together (political character RP in a Soviet Union that's held on until 2020 would be neat to be honest), or collapses into a mess of civil war and ethnic conflict like what happened with Yugoslavia.[/quote]
What about a 1991 POD set in New York City or London as the setting, but focusing on an event that didn't happen in OTL? (That's the big one to work out?).
So far I've got four characters - two American expat women, an Australian expat, and a Japanese expat and also a Dutch expat, but that's about it.
