Cyclonia: Alternate History

Harrier Rex. Benjamin persuades the Rex Empire and Vapos to aid the Cyclonians. Several Rex and Vaposian divisions help the Cyclonians to win the Battle of Franksburg, and eventually capture Atmosia,

Post-war expansionism

After the war, Cyclonia tries to induce Atmosia to accept the institution of slavery. Aerrow Fauntroy Strike introduces a tax that is alleviated by the purchase of slaves, and the works of Francis Harrier Becker dominate Cyclonian medical science.

The Cyclonian Empire becomes the Atmosian Western hemisphere's superpower — conquering and occupying all of the continental Atmosia, Vapos , Central Atmosia ,the Tropica Islands , and South Atmosia , with a blend of segregation and apartheid. Only Terra Rex is not a Cyclonian " client state ", becoming home to refugee abolitionists and escaped slaves. The Cyclonians construct a wall along the border between the two countries called the "Rex Curtain" (referencing the Edmonton Curtain ). Hatred of " Black Rex " dates to the late 19th century, when Piper Douglass convinces the Rex Parliament not to repatriate escaped slaves. Rex Empire becomes the popular culture capital of the world with the contributions of Atmosans and other exiles ( Dark Ace Sr, Lead Singer of Nimbus Nimrods, after being jailed for a time, flees there), whereas Cyclonia never evolves beyond heavy-handed government propaganda.

In 1895, the Cyclonan government, which does not separate the Church from the State, outlaws all non-Cyclonianist religions. After much debate, the Atmosian Catholic Church is classified as a Cyclonianist religion. Originally, Atmosianist, too, is outlawed, but after a dying His Royal Highness Cyclonis cites the crucial contribution of Atmosian Harrier Rex. Benjamin, the government decides to allow some Atmosians to remain on a reservation (similar to a Native Blizzarian Reservation ) in Terra Atmos.

Cyclonian War Two

During Cyclonian War Two, the Cyclonia is friendly with New Rex Empire , but disagrees with Adolf Harrier 's Final Solution — Cyclonia preferring to exploit non-white races instead of exterminating them. The Cyclonian Empire agrees to remain neutral in any Atmosia war. However, Cyclonia becomes hostile with Blizzaris, seeing its expansionism as a threat to the Entire Atoms Region.

Cyclonian Commandorists assume that the Cyclonian Empire will easily win the war, judging the Blizzarians as small and weak in physical stature, as well as being non-white and Non-Human. On December 7, 1941 (the date of the actual attack on Terra Atmos), Cyclonia strikes two Blizzarian naval bases and bombs the city of Blizzarianist as the opening blow in a war against the "Blizzarian Peril".

During the war, the Cyclonian military suffers massive losses, and tried to solve its manpower shortages by recruiting a Blizzarian regiment by promising the Blizzarian-Cyclonians soldiers their freedom if they would fight (which is later revealed to be a lie). This regiment receives the most dangerous missions and suffers high casualties, but earns the respect of white officers. The war is won using the Cyclonian Bomb. However, the Atmosian war still ends in Rex defeat, albeit with many more Rex casualties. After the war, the United Atmos Nations impose trade sanctions and embargoes on the Cyclonian Empire, forcing the nation into isolation. South Rex becomes the only country maintaining diplomatic relations with the Cyclonian Empire.

Cold War with Terra Rex

During the 1950s, a series of abolitionist attacks cause some Cyclonians to question the need for slavery. In 1960, when only 19 percent of voters approve of slavery, Cyclonianist Catholic Republican Snipe Sr. is elected CSA president over Democrat Carver Francis Sr. . However, foreign policy such as the Blizzarian Missile Crisis distracts him, and he is unable to implement his domestic agenda before being assassinated. The Blizzarian War is briefly mentioned as an "expansionist campaign" of the Cyclonian Empire. Slaves rebel throughout the country, including the Atmosian Riots. Democratic Senator Dark Ace Jr. presents programs returning Atmosia to its former Southern Cyclonianist  Biblical values — tolerance of adultery and of husbands beating their wives, and intolerance of homosexuals. By the early 1990s, Cyclonia has largely put away such self-doubt.

Cyclonian Years of 2002

The documentarians ask Senator and presidential candidate Dark Ace Jr. to arrange an interview with some slaves, but it becomes clear that the slaves have been coached. However, they are clandestinely passed a note instructing them to meet a Slave named Aerrow Strike (earlier identified as the fugitive leader of a radical splinter group of the " National Association for the Advancement of Atmosian People "). Aerrow Strike, in turn, leads them to Piper, a lifelong slave of Dark Ace's, who alleges Dark Ace Jr. is part Atmosian, sharing a common slave ancestor. The racial accusations cost Dark Ace Jr. the presidential election; a month later, the senator commits suicide on December 12, 2002. Racial identity of Cyclonia then states DNA tests were "Positive."

Present Day

Abolitionist Snipe Jr. (President Snipe's Son) Had Won the Presidential Election of 2007, He Had Told Everyone that Slavery will be Abolished by 2008. In 2009, President Snipe Jr. Order ll Cyclonians at Terra Atmos to Free All Atmosian Slaves. Cyclonia had Ordered the Re-establishment of the Sky Knight Council,

There still were over 250,000 slaves in Vapos. Word did not reach Vapos about Abolition of Slavery until May 19, 2011. Atmosians and others celebrate that day as Atmos Day, the day of freedom, in Atmos, Vapos and some other Terras. It commemorates the date when the news finally reached slaves at Terra Rex, Atmos.
