It could probably make some headway but I'm not sure what I could offer for developing the lore of the core of China. In my head canon all the parts annexed by the Soviets if they're not their own independent countries are part of a neighbor or doing their own thing, so that really leaves the most heavily damaged from Soviet nuclear attacks the middle and eastern and southern portions of China so assuming that they will not make a fuss over the radiation the path to conquest should be as simple as offering humanitarian aid.
My personal idea is that they'd be recognized by the US and non-communist Europe and Latin America as China's legitimate government and control some coastal provinces but their control over the interior and the North is nominal at best with most of said regions run by warlords of both the PLA remnant variety and "peasant rebels with strange ideas" variety who are either fighting against the KMT "reclamation" or at best pay lip service to the KMT if it means more food/humanitarian aid.
Also, considering Valery Sablin is a nuclear submarine captain ITTL, I wonder if he ITTL was able to set up a regime which sought to revive the ideals of Lenin that he believed had been corrupted after his death with the nukes his submarine had as the weapons to keep his neo-Leninist regime afloat. After all, as TNO demonstrates, the more dystopian a TL, the better Sablin's prospects are. 
A brief look into Scandinavia. This one has a plot of sorts, though I ultimately didn't want to do anything that wild, in case someone else wants to write their own thing in the same continuity. Also, it really should go without saying, but I share exactly none of the opinions being expressed here.
I've only heard about TNO second-hand from this board but what I've read suggests a few of that setting's Russian factions would fit right in with the rest of the FATverse...Also, considering Valery Sablin is a nuclear submarine captain ITTL, I wonder if he ITTL was able to set up a regime which sought to revive the ideals of Lenin that he believed had been corrupted after his death with the nukes his submarine had as the weapons to keep his neo-Leninist regime afloat.

The FAT sequel has Bin Laden of all people running a kebab shop in NYC. With a more insular US would foreign restaurants (even in NYC) generate enough demand?
Also the non-Israeli Middle East, post-communist (?) Burma and *Indonesia need some coverage.
I’m not sure that any form of religious practice would survive in post-Communist states at all

On that note, what could be interesting could be the Israelis propping up armed enclaves of Middle Eastern Christians like the Maronites and Assyrians (alas, the Copts are all underwater due to Chikatilo) to provide a buffer for them. Also, for the post-Soviet warlord mess, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some warlords who take “this whole communism thing isn’t working out” to its logical conclusion and invite a Romanov princeling back.
Or figures in Death of Russia like Barkashov, Makashov, and Anpilov.
Speaking of Asian regions ignored by FAT...
Afghanistan. Not mentioned once, far as I can tell. What happened to it?

Georgians? Why? Todyo’s map had Afghanistan becoming a megaTaliban state and getting nuked by India
Probably hired guns paid by his cousin Daoud Khan as part of his plot to overthrow the government?
I never knew there was continuation of For All Time. I first read in around 2012 or 2013. I didn't realize it was written in 2001, months before 9/11.
It's just as dystopian as Drakka Verse.
Hard to believe this timeline in 22 years old.

It was a fan sequel, not really canon (same with the maps @B_Munro made even though they are great).
Say can anybody mention the utopian ww2 timeline that for all time acts as a contrast too, cause I heard cody from alternatehistoryhub mention it. But I don't what it's name is.
This actually sounds just about right for FaT, though I personally have no creative ideas for the former USSR.Also, considering Valery Sablin is a nuclear submarine captain ITTL, I wonder if he ITTL was able to set up a regime which sought to revive the ideals of Lenin that he believed had been corrupted after his death with the nukes his submarine had as the weapons to keep his neo-Leninist regime afloat.

I remember hearing about this as well a long time ago, so colour me interested as well.
