I've been having a NES idea for a while now. It takes place in 2003, but the Cold War is still raging. Japan and Vietnam were annexed as states, Korea is unified (Under the southern government), China annexes Mongolia, Soviet invasion of Afghanistan actually works, and therefore doesn't collapse due to economic pressure, which means the Iron Curtain is still up. However, the UK now only exists as a military alliance between a now independent Wales, Scotland, and England (Northern Ireland joined, well, Ireland). Also, East and West Germany re-unite under the West, which almost started WWIII. NATO/Warsaw relationships are shaky as England and USA are doing a joint invasion of Iraq, while the USSR does their own invasion.
A detailed timeline does exist, I'll post it tomorrow.
