Must be funny when someone escaped to France (from 1955-2000)via boat or something and is confused when he’s not defecting to Eurasia and is in something called France.

[g.r.senterprisevenatorclas]

This is actually a really intresting scenario, just the idea itself about 1984. They say that they're this massive Empire that supposedly owns all of North and South America and Australia but the whole thing only takes place in Britain, we don't know the world outside of Britain and it never really shows us. The Government in the book however can make the people believe almost anything it wants.

This is really making me think.

If you think about it, Winston is somewhere between 35-45 in the book/movie, so there's a decent chance he'd be alive to see Oceania fall in this world

[zpex]

I love how he included uprisings and militia forces, it just shows how strong the effects of Oceanian propaganda and psychological control were. The Oceanians most likely see it as the day when "Eastasia" comes to attack them. To put it simply bravo to the attention to detail.

[elvastan]

Imagine being Winston or Julia at this point. For the first time in your life, you're seeing bombers and troops completely alien to you. Flags from nations that never existed, but, do? These troops, they aren't speaking Newspeak, they're speaking Old Speak. They say things, express concepts that you have always felt but never could put into words. The Party, IngSoc, a thing which is everything, all you ever knew, that could tell you the sky was red and you would believe it, is gone, being ground to dust by some... Thing called "NATO". Airstrip 1 was "Great Britain". The party was always truthful and loving, it told you everything, but... It was all wrong, were they lying, or was this another ploy by the party? If reality wasn't what the party said, what was it?

It would be an absolute existential crisis for every last Oceanian. The fact that things can be objectively true no matter what might lead to mass suicides and the breakdown of their entire worldview. This new "United Kingdom" that is the government now is strange and alien to the people of former Oceania. I think it would take years for it to finally set into people like Wilson and Julia that "yes, this is the world, and The Party was wrong". The news that the brotherhood was never real might be more of a shock than anything else, really.

I like how the UK goes into exile in the Channel Islands and the Shetland islands

[funinukeguy]

This is just... Perfect

The best the mapping genre has to offer

[pythonprogrammer]

The problem with this, is that Oceania is not like Nazi Germany. The masses wouldn't be relieved, they'd be enraged. You wouldn't be fighting a million soldiers, you'd be fighting tens of millions of angry englishmen.

[JustPippaNY]

This has always been my fan theory: Oceania doesn't exist beyond Britain, and the rest of the world is more or less the same as it is in real life.

[justandrew_]

The fact that a party is willingly launching nukes in its own country and around the world is terrifying yet dumb.

Oceania in the Book: Stronk Superpower, best military

Oceania in the video: a weak bri'ish isolonionists dreaming of conquering the world.

[eater]

3:40 I would dread being in charge of repairing any part of this nation. Pol Pot is probably the most compared dictator to 1984, and to this day, many are accused of trying to bring the bloodshed back, with several politicians are former members of the Khmer Rouge, including the current prime minister. He lasted four years, a meer tenth of Oceania time was in power.

[ishaanaggarwal]

I know this is late but in this universe Eurasia is technically real because NATO is Eurasia if you think about it. If China is also against Oceania, then Eastasia is real.

[captainstryker]

I really liked this scenario. It was amazing and interesting to watch.
You did a very good job, it deserves more appreciation

[statelyelms]

Shit, wait, this scenario makes a lot of sense. Most people list Oceania as owning the Americas, the British Isles, South Africa and the continent of Oceania. But even though Orwell's quote sourcing that apparently comes from a separate book.. imagine if it was also simply derived from the Ministry of Truth. Nothing like lying about territory acquisition to people totally cut off from all outside communication to convince them that they are very powerful, and war will go well, but they still need them to fight for them, and that since there is no other uprising anywhere else there is no hope. It is unlikely it controls that much area anyway, 100% totalitarian control over that much land would need a lot of policing, which would take a LOT of completely brainwashed citizens to do (which would need a location to continually be brainwashed in, as if left alone long enough they will start to doubt) and especially for rural areas that simply is not feasible. Very hard to keep people in-line when they don't have the constant threat like population centres do.

Plus, it feels very fitting for a book about mind games, lies and rewriting existence to have the reader spout the authoritarian state's propaganda unknowingly.

[BiggusWeeabus]

The whole war with Eastasia and Eurasia being a lie has always has been my personal headcanon for the book tbh, Oceania being a isolated regime North Korea style always seemed way more likely

[Italian]

Idk looks like Eurasian propaganda to me

[Taukingur]

This was always how I thought what had really happened in 1984

[freezyboy]

RIP Oceania
1955-2002
Mighty Empire of Britain, America, South Africa and Australia (100% true)

NATO: we’re gonna use a reverse D-Day to liberate the British Isles
