Asterix is more "historic fantasy" than "alternate history" surely? I mean, if the Gauls actually stopped Caesar from conquering almost all of Gaul that would be one thing. When it's just one village that doesn't really change anything in the long run, it's more on a par with "superheroes fought in WWII (but all the major events happened the same way)".

Even more so with Ted where, as far as I can tell from the entry, the alternate reality aspect is basically "the main character exists".

Can anyone tell me what this is referring to: A sadly defunct-for-years website contained rules for a tabletop RPG set in alternate world where, in the Old World, the hominid family tree branched out into half a dozen sentient species that were all analogous to various fantasy races (elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, orcs, goblins, and of course humans), while in the New World dinosaurs never went extinct and gave rise to several races of intelligent saurians (all with culture similar to the Aztecs). Also, dragons. Completely illogical, but fun.

You may have more luck asking in You Know That Show.

It appears no one who checks https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouKnowThatShow knows it, and it being added to the alternate history page doesn't show up in the page's history.

"The 2004 film C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America takes the notion of the South winning the American Civil War and plays it to the hilt. Though instead of forming its own country, the entire USA goes Confederate. The turning point comes when England and France aide the Confederacy and turn the tide at Gettysburg. All non-Christian religions are outlawed save for Judaism (Jews live in a reservation on Long Island). They advocate enslaving all non-whites, and TV ads catering to slave-owning middle class members are commonplace. "

Laughable to a student of actual history like me, who knows that they where already planning to phase out Slavery anyway.
