And I will go first, with an obvious fave...
What if Vox had won the war against GS?
Well, a complete win was probably not in the cards, so how about a partial victory with a better - for Vox - peace settlement. Say we gained a handful of cities south of the original border.
This really depends on whether GS and Vox could have patched up their relationship - which is doubtful to start with. But, assuming we had, and Vox established a sounder economic base, how would this have affected the world geo-political scene? It may have been enough to maintain the uneasy peace on Bob, that dubious alliance that Vox first encountered when we crossed the straight. (yes - there is another what if.)
Would Vox, Lego, and GS be alligned by geography against the Bobians, making their allaince even stronger. Or would Bob stiill be in a similar position as today, with a different dynamic regarding 'outside' help from the 'islanders'.
My guess is .. assuming a trusting relationship was re-established between GS and Vox .. that at the first sign of breakdown on Bob, we, Vox, with GS' help would have pushed for land settlement on the NE corner of Bob. This would be done in alliance with GS for an exchange of Estonian land.
This is similar to the potential situation prior to the war, and as I was suggesting above, the other obvious what-if. And in retrospect, maybe what Vox should have done.

So you're saying Vox and GS would have sided with Roleplay to blackmail GoW into giving its land away or they would have just taken it in conquest? Interesting how Beta keeps bringing up that Vox views GoW as its mortal enemy........................

What if:
When Vox settled on Bob and GoW asked them to leave, Vox has showed an screenshot of the relative placement of this new city with respect to their capital? This would have shown that the new city was not so far from Vox starting point, and maybe convince some other nations to support Vox's claims.
