@Terenak - This is my 'translation into plausibility' for the events depicted. Obviously the very concept isn't real, but I'm a stickler for fantasy stuff set in the real world having realistic consequences. Leaving aside some inherent conceits like the economies of literally every nation but the US - and even that's a stretch - not collapsing due to decades of total war, I'm just gonna apply my own interpretation of the events and see if you or people like them. I personally think it makes everything more engaging for there to be realistic consequences to go along with the magic instead of just an endless series of hand-waves.
The Allies and Axis don't exist as factions anymore this long after the beginning of the war.
Makes sense. It sounds like motive decay has well and truly set in, and after the world went mad preexisting geo-strategic factors would dramatically change.
The United Kingdom is an actual Kingdom again, currently run by Queen Evangeline, a Magical Girl who took over in a coup for power. They have tightened control over their colonies and have conquered France and Ireland.
I imagine this was the major shock to the western world, where it was shown just how severly the balance of power had been skewed. It's a bit difficult to see how someone - even with an obscene amount of magical power - could've seized power in a coup without completely dissolving the nation. Or maybe it was, and 'Queen Evangeline' just reconquered it all. The colonies - Canada, South Africa, Australia,
certainly the British Raj - all would've jumped ship and been taken into other great power's sphere's of influence, though.
Berlin was annihilated by british Magical Saboteurs, wiping out the upper echelons of the Nazi Party which folded soon after. It is still the Wehrmacht and is still a military Dictatorship but is currently run by Heinrich Wolfhart, a much nobler soldier than any of the previous leaders.
Huh. It sounds like the Werhmacht finally got sick of the moronic austrian corporal and his insane pasties, launched a coup d'etat, and blamed the purge on those damn foreigners. Reasonable, seeing as that's pretty much what they were planning to do in actual history. The subsequent power struggle must have been vicious - the mystical SS in particular are almost certainly still around and making nuisances of themselves - but it sounds like the military Junta has stabilized, probably by taking all the Nazi stuff they liked and focusing the public on some conveinet public enemies, like those damn Commies and perfidious Brits. Maybe a rubber stamp Reichstag? Probably not, a lot of the officers were super conservative.
It is also currently in an alliance with the United States united against England, with the US worried that England will go for all their old colonies, it is mostly an alliance of convenience but it has been going on for 20 years now.
I would adjust the timelines if I were you. Make the changes more gradual, and also avoid a big part of history where apparently nothing is happening.
Italy has folded into a Neo-Ottoman Empire ruled by a council of sages and Djinn which have taken the balkans as well.
Ah, the Turks. History's greatest karma houdinis. Looks like they won the 'mystic power lottery' and went about taking advantage of the chaos to get some revenge and try to recreate their empire.
Currently the Ottomans are in a war with the USSR and Imperial Japan to the east having spread far enough to border their lands
Looks like Japan managed to conquer Asia. Poor China. Gotta wonder how far the
ethnic cleansing colonization have gotten, could explain how Japan's avoided the manpower crunch.
The USSR has remained largely the same, Stalin is dead but his successor is holding strong to the Communist Manifesto.
I would've figured that old psychopath would've gotten himself immortality or his succesors would've reformed into a saner system.
Imperial Japan has rediscovered their Shinto roots and have slid back into their feudalistic ways with prominent Magical and Samurai families holding power.
'Slid back?' The entire point of Imperial Japan was that it fetishized the past. Did the magical neo-aristocracy overthrow the military junta? The language and context is kinda unclear here.
They are nominally allied with the UK as two Empires that have their own problems to deal with, the general consensus is that at the end of the war these two will have come to blows eventually.
I mean, they're on opposite sides the planet. The big thing in the way would be the British Raj, but throughout decades of war and a coup in Britain it surely would've revolted. Japan took all of Britain's east asian colonies quickly (including Australia?) and from what it sounds like the new government would promise a return of all Britain's past glories and lands. In any case, whether they say they're friends or at war, nothing effectively change.
The US also remains largely unchanged, they have, by far, militarized magic the most out of the other countries forming an entirely new branch called the Magical Corps where Magical Girls are used as spec ops.
Looks like the US approached magic the same it did everything else in the war. With a startling amount of sanity and efficiency. Combine that with their enormous industrial base, stable food and fuel supply, geopgraphical isolation ... America's easily the most powerful Superpower on the map. It sounds like it's been mostly content to just stay at home and bicker with the Japs, though.
They are currently warring with the UK and Japan, though there is a minor cease-fire between the US and Japan because of Abyssals keeping any large naval battles from happening.
Are the Abyssal's a recent phenomenon? That could add a greater sense of dynamism to this otherwise static world. A war with Britain makes sense, the US almost certainly annexed Canada (and Australia?) in the chaos.
The Nordics have formed their own Power Bloc, The Nordic Brotherhood, backed by a recent surge in Heathenism and runic magic. They are currently not at war with anyone, but are prepared to war with anyone who attacks them and are eyeing the UK and USSR specifically.
Eh. Nothing that hasn't been done before. I'm rather curious they aren't pissed at Germany for taking Denmark, and instead focusing on their enemies.
Atomic Power has indeed been created, and an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. However it turns out that the Japanese magical system is stupidly good at barriers and very little damage was done to the city. Little Boy has not been deployed as of yet.
This is dumb. Everything about this is dumb. Please, for the love of god, if you want to hand-wave nukes just pretend they don't exist. Not ...
this.
those are the major changes between this lengthened war and our own, if you have any other questions please ask and I'll inform you of how it has changed
If you'd be so kind.
