We'd have a much greater number of 7-11's due to the increased population of Pakistanis (sorry, borrowed that from Mrs. Doubtfire). Being a royal pain would have a different connatation.

Would Austin Martin be the GM of our day? Driving an Austin Martin...oh yeah.
On a serious note, I kind of imagine it being more like Northern Ireland, only worse. Speaking of "alternate history" has anyone else seen the movie "Fatherland"? It starred Rudger Hauer (sp?). It took place in a 1960s German who won WWII. Very interesting storyline.

I used to play a rpg (role playing game) with some other gamer's called Hitler Victorious, which was based a little on that movie, and also on the shortstory collection "Hitler Victorious". The game was set in the mid-nineties though (which was when we played it). All the characters were either freedom fighters, or full-blown antinazi terrorists. I had the distinction of having a character who was an Algerian born sniper/terrorist that took out the Pope John-Clement in St. Peter's Basilica, when La Costra Nosa got mad at him because he'd made another concordant with the current Fuher against the mob.
It was a fun game, but pretty dark. We all gave it up after awhile.
