A lot more can be said on this piece of alternative history, Skybird. You surely can do better (dig deeper) than that. Though it must be embarassing for Germans in general to think this through freely, as I understand, which only shows again you have the cajones of a new breed of free spirited Germans

Interesting addition regarding America's part tho', as I was at first only thinking America would have remained a harmless isolated 'island' between 2 oceans, at least while the imperial European interest would have focussed on consolidating EURASIA and stubborn Britain.

I also think that after a relatively short brutal reign of Hitler and/or one or two of his henchmen to secure absolute power things might have developed for the better all over Europe and a centrally controlled
self government of regions (by puppets) would have developed throughout the empire in a natural way. Sort of like when Augustus ruled the empire after Caesar.

So no democracy like we know it, but acceptable if and when the system would protect the elite and common people and insure them prosperity and good trade. In other words, when the majority of people would have felt okay with their micro situation a lasting not so brutal yet powerful European imperial (federal ?)system might have emerged.
