Earth-64

Earth-64 is a reality in the multiverse.

History
Earth-64's history was identical to that of Earth-95's and real life until the premature death of Mao Zedong. Without Mao's presence, China never embraces Communism and continues to experiment with democracy in the post-Emperor era. This in turn makes them hostile to the Soviet Union instead of friendly, and this hostility snowballs into a series of bitter conflicts between the two countries. Although this ends up greatly weakening both countries, it does also make Russia a less formidable adversary for the United States, allowing that country to have an easier time of it in the Cold War.
