Alternate history or alternative history (British English), sometimes abbreviated as AH, is a genre of fiction consisting of stories in which one or more historical events occur differently from reality. These stories usually contain "what if" scenarios at crucial points in history and present an outcome of events alternative to historical record wikipedia: Alternate_history.

Map games are a popular phenomenon on many Wiki sites.

Ever fancy running your own nation, well, here's your chance to do so! A map game is a game where players take turns writing something happening in that time period. A global one is one that involves the entire world. See if you can take over the entire world or end poverty in Africa?

These games are a user collaborative alternate history type of game. A starting map, scenario and rules are posted by the game’s creator at the start of the game. The players take turns competing with each other by posting a series of dated alternate historical events beneath the map and making changes to the map when relevant, as they act out there plans on how to run the world and outsmart their rival at military, economy, treaties, political, spots, space tec, exploration plans, etc; (like if they were a real head of state). As time passes the events will making changes to the map and modify the statistical values of the nations.
