Additionally, Ford has announced that they have an excess of 1987 Crown Victorias. Nothing special about them, unfortunately.

We would be willing to put the Macintosh SE on sale in Japan; the Apple II J-plus was originally sold in Japan in 1978, so we have a history of Apple, already.

I'm afraid that we will have to decline the offer of surplus Crown Victorias, due to being unsuitable for Japanese roads.

From Lockheed's factories in Burbank and Palmdale I bring both of you, the most advanced airliner on the market, the L-1011 TriStar. The plane that pampers people. Still in production (L-1011 production in real life ended in 1984)

I don't know, I am undecided between it and the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10. Maybe you can "persuade" me?

All SE's will come with a 40MB HDD preloaded with System 7, along with MacPaint and MacTrek as bonus programs; starting price will be $250 per unit.

Wait, why isn't the Crown Victoria suitable for Japanese roads?

The L-1011 has fewer crashes than the DC-10, and it can even land itself .

Too big. Japanese roads are more suited for smaller, lighter cars. Plus, fuel is more expensive, so cars need to be more fuel efficient.

For the US market, the 1989 Honda Prelude comes in 6 different configurations:

*5 speed Si (Sport Injected) 4WS: $18,450 (MSRP)
*Auto Si 4WS: $19,175
*5 speed Si: $16,965
*Auto Si: $17,690
*5 speed S: $13,945
*Auto S: $14,670

A beat up looking 1985 Chrysler New Yorker pulls up to the region. The car is grey with small dings all over it and a butter yellow Wisconsin plate. Anacin pops out wearing a Milwaukee brewers hat, bomber jacket, 'Frankie says Relax ' t shirt, acid washed jeans, and some beat to shi8 Eastlands. Hes holding a 7up can in one hand and a VHS camcorder in the other.

Hi there. As a representative of The Bar on the corner of every region, I'll give you a gift a couple 6-packs of Seagrams Wine Coolers. I'm a fellow 80's lover by the way.

From Honda's Sayama factory in North Saitama, I bring you, something that Honda would like to show you: 4 wheel steering, from Honda. Only on the new 1989 Prelude Si. It's an incredible turn of events.

What’s the best car you have

Welcome!

Eighties Republic wrote:Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes...

That's all the lyrics I know to a song I do not know the name of.

Anyhows, welcome to 1980s America! Here's the Regional Constitution to get you started.

Constitution of 1980s America
Essentially a ruleset but more legalese.

1. 1980s America will make no attempt to restrict resident nations' freedoms of speech, ideology, assembly, petition, or protest, under absolutely no circumstances. This rule extends to ALL nations outside 1980s America, whether in embassy regions or not. The ONLY exception to this is if the speech proves harmful to the region, i.e being edgy, pushing ideology on others, or making death threats.

2. 1980s America will not revoke the citizenship of member nations for any reason, unless it becomes absolutely necessary, for example, actively threatening other nations with great harm, or making death threats.

3. Politicians in 1980s America will serve a maximum of 2 terms, each 2 months long. At the end of each term, new members will be elected. The President will also serve a maximum of 2 terms, each term 2 months long, with an election at the end of each individual term.

4. 1980s America will keep its borders open to all nations.

5. The Government is to be made up of the following things:

  • The President and his Cabinet. The Cabinet is to consist of Secretaries, which are the Secretaries of:

    • Homeland Security

    • Defense

    • Foreign Intelligence

    • Foreign Affairs

    • Border Security and Immigration Services

  • The Senate. The Senate is the legislative body of the Government of 1980s America and is to have a maximum of 25 members, each elected by the people. All votes are to be done by polls. The Senate is a division of 1980s America Congress.

6. World Assembly membership is optional. In order to become a Senator, nations are not required to join the World Assembly, but they can have only one nation in the Senate at a time; i.e only the main nation or one puppet is allowed.

7. In order to become the President, World Assembly membership is required.

8. Endorsements are to be capped at 2, which is the minimum number of endorsements needed to write and submit WA Resolution proposals, for ALL nations. The only one not subject to this restriction is the President.

Addendum: The Founder reserves the right to enforce the Constitution, and to make changes to it with the approval of Congress, but may NOT make substantial changes to the Constitution or edit it without the consent of Congress (representing the nations of the region). The Founder is also the only one with the right to suspend the Constitution.


9. In order to become involved in politics, a resident must have resided in 1980s America for at least 3 days uninterrupted.

Hello it's the Strasserist USSR here.

Also what are the main video game consoles at the time.

Not a whole lot of game consoles. Maybe the Atari 2600, possibly, or more obscure consoles such as the ColecoVision. However most gaming during the 1980s was done on home computers such as the C64, and maybe the Atari ST.

So does history in this timeline apply to OTL or is it alternate history and do Soviet cars (Eurasian) fit on Japanese roads.
