* ButterflyOfDoom: The point of divergence is the Clinton Administration killing Osama bin Laden in 1998. This prevents 9/11, the war in Afghanistan, and especially the rally-around-the-flag effect that followed 9/11. Instead, many of the political divisions of the 1990s, especially the militia movement, persist into the 2000s.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: A few factions are rather... bizarre, but have proven their capabilities:
** The Kingdom of Coldwood is a constitutional monarchy set up by the Society for Creative Anachronism in northern New York (although they do use modern weapons).
** The Federation is a small faction created by a bunch of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fans attending a convention in Riverside, Iowa[[note]]the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk[[/note]]. They've won local support largely because, as their society is modeled on the Federation, they are big fans of human rights and democracy.
