The Chinese in Indonesia are hated by all Indonesians - by the Islamists as "kafirs", by the nationalists as "collaborators of the colonialists", by the rightists as "communists" and even by the communists as "capitalists" - the overseas Chinese are overrepresented in the economy of countries...

The goal of this feasibility check for this "East Indies Federation" is as follows: Have a state in the East Indies that is as big as possible. Easiest would be Malaysia + Singapore + Indonesia. Papua, maybe; Philippines seem a bit hard. Have this state be led by an "LKY-style government", that...

So I am working on this project where Burma, Thailand and Malaysia undergo rapid economic transformation and become tiger economies. The divergences mostly happen after 1948. All your help would be appreciated ^^. For Burma, I'm thinking of perhaps not assassinating Aung San. He was the face...

Any POD is fine, nation can be formed either natively or as a result of colonialism. What are some methods to get a Greater Indonesia, with the territories of modern Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, and (maybe) the Philippines under one flag?

Singapore was once part of Malaysia, but was expelled in 1964. There are several reasons behind this, including differences between the local government in Singapore and the central government in Kuala Lumpur; a bit of postcolonial/Cold War proxy politics; and ethnic, religious, and cultural...

Technicalities aside, let us say, that the Philippines did control that chunk of Borneo called Sabah, or at least what the sultanate of Sulu claims. What would it look like now that Borneo is now divided into three, and that the Philippines has a land-border with two countries? - Would the...

Like the title says, make the population of Malaysia higher than OTL. The POD is Independence from UK in year 1957.

I was thinking about how the Philippines is the only Christian-majority nation in Asia. As well as how it contrasts to the number of Christian-majority nations in Africa today. With that in mind, what would it take for another Asian country to get a majority Christian population?

OTL, the British occupied the core parts of the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia0 during the Napoleonic wars and considered annexing the Dutch East Indies outright. Assuming that for whatever reason this went through (well, whatever reason that isn't a Napoleonic victory, which is the best way for...

What happens in Malaysian politics? How is Singapore affected? Malaya? Sarawak and Sabah? Any butterflies elsewhere?

So, assume that the Majapahit Empire doesn't collapse, and/or that Indonesia stays more-or-less united under the hegemony of one island state till, say, the late 16th century. How would this affect relations between Europe and the East Indies? What happens to Portuguese history? With more...
