Misadventure to a Tri-Polar World
is a Alternate History Timeline created by Altenate history diplomat which started in AlternateHistory.com.
The story focus on a parallel Earth based on Code Geass. Unlike the Crapsack World depicted in Code Geass, the eponymous Tri-Polar World is relatively more nicer and benign (but without Sakuradite and Geass) due to the illegitimate descendant of Queen Elizabeth I, the first Britannian Emperor Richard William Fitzroy Tudor, who was exiled to British North America and sided with the rebels in successfully winning against the British in the "Great American Rebellion". The present day, the world is divided between the Holy Britannian Empire, the European-African Commonwealth, and Asian-Pacific Federation.
The main story begins in 2018, during a public live broadcast of a diplomatic conference between Britannia, the European-African Commonwealth, and the Asian-Pacific Federation held in Vienna when a large probe materialized, and depositing a team of researchers who are part of the Allied Universes, an interdimensional conglomerate of alternate Earths (which includes our's) who were initially sent to secretly study and evaluate the natives as potential members of the A.U. After diplomatic talks are quickly established, in which the Tri-Polar World becomes the 21st member of the A.U., the A.U. soon discovers the actual Code Geass universe.
