In this world, the reformist Gracchi brothers accidentally kick off a Roman revolution. Senators are beheaded en masse on the Capitoline hill, and a new government of reason takes power, abolishing the old Roman elite, importing new Greek customs, and adopting novelties like a new revolutionary calendar (which of course matches the IRL Julian calendar). The chaos in Rome is eventually exploited by a young Gaius Marius to make himself emperor and try conquering Europe. Marius defeats several “Pan-Mediterranean” coalitions against him, only to be undone by a ruinous invasion of Parthia. He is exiled to Elba, returns, is defeated again, and dies in an even more obscure exile on the modern-day Isle of Wight.

In this world of old-fashioned beliefs, Napoleon Bonaparte tries to create a new empire centered on the radical idea of monotheism. His actual military exploits and tragic death, though, closely follow the life of the Roman emperor Julian.

In this book Josephine is described as insanely hot and there are several graphic sex scenes involving her with Napoleon as well as the Duke of Wellington who totally cucks him.

Germany Divided: Instead of Hitler rising to power, Weimar Germany collapses into a civil war between Communists and capitalists. The Communists win, forcing capitalist forces to flee to Taiw-whoops, I mean, East Prussia. The Cold War still happens, but for the rest of the century, German history follows the course of Chinese history in our own world. Communist Germany becomes an overpopulated, impoverished, but nuclear-armed economic mess, while the U.S.-backed "Republic of Germany" starts off as an oppressive dictatorship but later emerges as a rich market democracy. Red German volunteers intervene during the Italian War to prevent a Communist defeat. During the Second Kulturkrieg of the 60s, an aging Ernst Thalmann tries to maintain his power in Germany by mobilizing students to attack existing power structures; countless castles, cathedrals, and priceless works of art are destroyed in the process. Later, an aging Heinrich Himmler (who went Communist in this timeline) reforms Germany to have a more market-based economy...but he also shows zero hesitation in crushing student protesters in the Alexanderplatz.

As the book ends, Germany remains divided, but the still-officially-Marxist "German Democratic Republic" is a rising economic superpower of Europe, ready to challenge the fading United States for regional supremacy.

But the real danger comes from Oldcastle, whose extremist mayor Nigel Chambers aspires to rule all of Northwall. Chambers launches, well, not World War 2, but a very tiny version of it. Seeking living space for some additional housing, Chambers deploys four tanks and a dozen armored cars to seize neighboring Eastmont. Over the following days, his forces bring other towns to submission, but Tidegate stands defiant, thanks to a fleet of a dozen patrol boats that make invasion impossible. Chambers deploys a small force of biplane bombers to harry the island, but this fails to break the island's will. Eventually, Chambers overreaches by invading Ramshorn. A cold snap causes the gasoline in his tanks to freeze, and the subsequent thaw gets them mired in mud. Later, his attempt to capture a key apartment block is bogged down by hours of door-to-door fighting.

Eventually, wealthy and populous Fernsworth intervenes, and in alliance with Ramshorn and Tidegate, they crush Oldcastle. Chambers commits suicide. The entire war lasts approximately three weeks.

Instead of being born in late 18th-century Corsica, Napoleon is born in the late 1980s in southeast Idaho. His awkward demeanor and talent for dance routines, class politics, and tetherball initially conceal his true ability as a master military tactician. In the 2010s, Napoleon joins the National Guard, only to be caught up in a new American Revolution: Ronald Drumpf, a bigoted, orange-hued reality TV star, has become president thanks to a boatload of Russian money. He soon begins abducting children at the border to sell them to wealthy Republican pedophiles, while abandoning US allies like the Kurds and Ukrainians as a favor to his Russian masters.

Soon, there is a revolution. Napoleon, educated in liberal ideas (unlike his ignorant redneck fellow officers), sides with the rebels both out of principle and to protect his trusted aide de camp Pedro. His strategic brilliance soon makes him a top commander in the American army. President Drumpf is toppled and executed. Unlike the French Revolution, though, this revolution is portrayed entirely positively, and while a few extreme right-wingers are executed they all deserve it. Thanks to the more virtuous nature of this revolution, Napoleon himself remains more virtuous and he never aspires to become a dictator.

The novel climaxes with Napoleon leading brilliant military interventions in Syria, Iran, and Ukraine to protect America’s allies and defeat sinister Russian influence. He marches on Moscow, but this time he wins, and forces the Russian President to sign a humiliating peace treaty. Napoleon is then elected as a new Democratic president and leads America into a golden age.
