** Konstantin Petrov and his strange Dead Water ideology/cult really existed, and were just as weird in real life. The only major changes are that they can gain far more influence in the mod, and they appear earlier than in real life, forming in the 80's[=/=]90's rather than in 2000.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In one of the few bright spots of hope in the mod, it's possible for Australia to come out of the economic recession stronger than ever and become a regional power within the pacific. The accompanying Superevent is a [[TriumphantReprise hopeful rendition]] of "You're The Voice" by John Farnham, signifying the economic and political adversities it managed to overcome and the grand [[TheFederation "Pax Australiaca"]] born from it.

** Of note is the so-called "The Dust", an EldritchAbomination that appears within the Middle East if [[WhatTheHellHero the United States decides to nuke Baghdad to end the Gulf War]]. It's completely unstopable and tears everything within it's path [[RazorWind through it's winds]], both structures and lifeforms. To make matters worse, the fact the superevent is called the "The Dust ''Awakens''" implies it wasn't created by the nuking, but always existed and was sealed up and/or sleeping within the desert...

** It's possible for the United States to fall under control of Gene Savoy and the Church of The Living Heaven under mysterious circunstances. While it's policies haven't been shown yet, the fact they're classified as [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Annihilationism]] should be a tell that they aren't good news. The superevent for their takeover is a very cryptic and creepy title saying "In Heaven, Everything is Fine" while a distorted rendition of Amazing Grace plays in the background.

** After the death of Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese Communist Party's transhumanist wing can install an experimental ArtificialIntelligence called The Long March to govern the country. Things go south very quickly, with a glitch causing The Long March to detonate China's nuclear weapons stockpiles, leading the nation to collapse. But considering that The Long March's ideology is listed as Annihilationism - and is stated to be ''sentient'' - one has to wonder whether or not the detonations were actually deliberate.

** As weird as a pro-communist and pro-USSR monarchy may seem, this is precisely what happened with Norodom Sihanouk in real life. Sihanouk claimed to be a socialist and held openly pro-USSR views, even abdicating the throne at one point in order to be "closer to the people", albeit he remained in power as a civilian leader and a de facto dictator. He also joined forces with communist guerrillas after being deposed. The only difference is that with the split in pro-Vietnamese (pro-USSR by proxy) and pro-Chinese wings of the Khmer Rouge happened before the Khmer Rouge came into power, leading Sihanouk to abandon the Khmer Rouge in favour of the pro-Vietnamese FUNSK.
