The Catherverse is an universe created by Chipperback. It is a three-thread timeline on AlternateHistory.com set in an alternate 2015 world, centred around North American affairs. The countries most focused on is the Great Plains United Republic, the Industrial Republic of North America and the Confederate States of America. However, other nations such as the Republic of Greater California, the Republic of Quebec, the Hawaiian Pacific Commonwealth and non-North American nations get attention too.The timeline is presented like it is live, with updates focusing on the here and now, only as a timeline.The three threads are...The Road to Willa Cather Landing: The first thread, focusing on the GPUR and everything west of the Mississippi, up to and including Australia-New Zealand.Land of Confusion: The second thread, focusing on Europe, Africa, Asia and the North-American lands north of the CSA and east of the Mississippi. Focuses on the Industrial Republic of North America.Winter of Discontent: The third thread, focusing on the Confederate States of America, its' internal matters and foreign diplomacy, primarily with the Soviet Union and the CSA's southern neighbors in Latin America.Planned Mid-North American War TL: A planned look at the events of the 1950s and in particular the Mid-North American War between the Confederate States and the Great Plains United Republic. | |

Dystopia: The Confederate States of America. Black Confederate people still live under Jim Crow. And even if you are born white, you can still be drafted in the army and forced to fight in places as far away as the Philippines, and Confederate secret police can burn your civil rights and lock you up arbitrarily. | |

| Catherverse / int_3f1f6c04 | comment |
The Cover Changes the Meaning: Subverted. Numerous songs are written very differently, including "Okie From Muskogee". Simultaneously played straight (in-universe) by "Our God is an Awesome God." The official version in the CSA invokes divine retribution on the CSA's enemies — but the other version sung by dissidents invokes divine retribution on the CSA... | |

Hypocrite: The CSA leadership has hypocrite written all over it. They have oppressed their population (black and white) and have menaced the North American successor nations while claiming themselves to be a holy, peaceful nation. In its early days, despite claiming to resist federal tyranny, when Huey Long's Louisiana decided to form a union with Texas, the CSA wouldn't have it, and tried to bring Louisiana back under their heel. | |
