draka

Hey, this is my first thread on the website but I've been lurking and reading for a long time. I think my first exposure to something I really understood as alternate history was the Domination of Draka setting by SM Stirling, and that somehow led me to this forum; specifically, to Municipal...

Here we have the three principle models of tanks produced by the Domination of the Draka designed between the Great War and the Eurasian War, which were given the common designation of "Hond" after African hunting dogs. Hond-I: Developed in the aftermath of WWI, the Hond-I (at the time simply...

It's a forum that's still active, but pretty long in the tooth now, so just posting some decades-old DrakaFics for posterity: General Information - Draka rank and unit system, OOBs and armament info, links to some stories Another index of links Timeline. - the SD.net BBS DrakaFic continuity...

Lemme explain the title a bit more. When S.M. Stirling created the Domination, he created them as a dark mirror of the US. They formed similarly and have similar development, but the ideals the Draka adhere to are distinctly un-American. In a discord server, there was some discussion over what...

Obviously, this is a pretty crazy one, but I've been reading Jared's DoD and was struck with the idea of reversing the fates of North and South America in that TL. Essentially, how could a Latin American super power (Gran Colombia maybe?) get the idea that they were a master race, and decide to...

“Monsieur President, all communication seems to have been jammed with other countries” Emmanuel Macron grimaced. “I must declare a state of emergency, and I order attempts at contact through other means, perhaps a thermonuclear war is underway.” With regards to nuclear weapons, there was an...

This is a new TL on which the 1898 anti-reformist coup fails and the Hunger Days’ reforms is able to continue. The Qing Dynasty was once an eroding great power, it decline exploited by foreign powers and it eventually would became a renewed superpower. Follow this TL and see the revitalization...

In a scenario where South Africa is divided between a British Cape Province (and possibly Namibia) with the rest being Afrikaner/Boer-ruled instead of being entirely ruled by the British, how plausible would it be for the latter to become a rough real-world Machiavellian-like Draka equivalent...

I am curious what it would look like. I picture it being unessarily over the top, but sm stifling does not want an incompetence vibe.

Looking at the gritty and dark style of his films, such as 300, Watchmen, and also Batman vs Superman, what would it be like if SM Stirling's Draka series, particularly Marching through Georgia and Under the Yoke, got big screen adaptation by him? Would it be faithful to the book or give some...
