Ill Bethisad is a collaborative alternate history project which had 58 active participants as of March 2021[update].
Ill Bethisad has a largely encyclopedic character, consisting of constructed languages, written histories, timelines, news items, maps, flags and other images, short movies, descriptions of cultures, religions and technologies, as well as short stories.
[14] Others are more drastic; Ill Bethisad Croatian, for example, is an invented Slavic language that in many respects is closer to Czech than our world's Croatian,[15] and the Dalmatian of Ill Bethisad seems to be influenced by Slavic languages more than its real world counterpart.
Nevertheless, history runs mostly parallel to the history of the real world, so that many countries and regions have their own separate points of divergence:[16] In general, there are more independent countries than there are in the real world, and constitutional monarchies, federations, colonies, and condominia are far more numerous.
Computers are not highly developed, and there is no 'Silicon Valley' of North America, but information technology centres are instead found in Ireland.
