Unison |
The Unison universe is an alternate reality in which World War I never occurs, which in turn leads to no Russian Revolution. Because the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is not established, the Cold War between the USA and USSR does not occur, and so the chain continues up to a point where the 20th century has less conflicts in it. The present year in the Unison universe is 2072.
A United Nations is still existent in the Unison universe. However, the process of creation of the United Nations in the Unison universe is slightly different from Real Life.

History[]
- Main article: Timeline:Unison universe
The Unison universe diverges from Real Life 00 in 1914. Though tensions still have built up before 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary does not take place in the Unison universe, thereby keeping the relative peace. Franz Ferdinand succeeds Emperor Franz Joseph I and becomes Emperor Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. He brings about political reform, in which the government gives more rights for its subjects. This essentially defuses the tension in the Balkans.
Because World War I did not take place, the tension between the European superpowers eventually died down. In turn, the fall of tension meant that the Russian Revolution never took place, so the Imperial government remains in power to this day. Russia also began to copy Austria-Hungary in its acts of instating more democracy in its political system.
The Cold War also never began, since the rise of Communism never occurred in the first place. The United States does not become a superpower, and it remains a small country.
