Major Differences
- 1200-1500s - The Oasisamerica region of North America undergoes a period of urbanization and advancement, leading to the creation of several nation states, such as the Pueblo Empire.
- 1500s-1600s - The French take a more vested interest in colonization, leading to a more heavily populated series of colonies in North America, which later become multiple French-speaking nations.
- 1700s - The Constitution Convention fails in the fledgeling United States, leading to the formerly British colonies in the eastern seaboard splitting into several nations.
- 1800s - South Africa (and much of Africa) is colonized differently, including the survival of many Boer Republics.
- 2000s - Nuclear Armageddon occurs, leading to a post-apocalyptic future.
Contests
The Vandverse conworld will periodically hold contests to encourage the creation of pages on a certain topic. Members of the conworld are encouraged to participate in these friendly competitions.
