History Trivia / NineteenEightyThreeDoomsdayStories

* BroadStrokes: Given its treatment of the [[NineteenEightyThreeDoomsday source material]] and due to the wiki-style nature of said source, there are some differences in the AU's details, though still keeping with the spirit of it as much as possible. Among the more noticeable ones include:

** [[ApocalypseHow The exact times and extent of the nuclear fires.]]
** Certain points in the timeline either happening differently or not taking place at all.
** The Nordics being more active in dealing with Estonia and eventually Prussia.
** [[{{ScotIreland}} The Celtic Alliance]] as a looser federation than the original version, with Scotland having virtually ''actual'' equal footing with Ireland.
** A mixture of minor tweaks and changes in the nature of [[TrueNeutral The]] [[TechnicalPacifist Alpine]] [[TheFederation Confederation]].
** Poland as being bi-polar and in a sort-of-civil war, compared to the somewhat more clear-cut East and West Poland in the source material.
** The existence of the [[AscendedExtra Sopron]] [[OriginalCharacter Frontier]].
** Some of the characteristics, personalities and backgrounds of the [[OriginalCharacter Survivor-Nations]].
