Well, since you've dusted off the thread anyway...


Why I believe SGames would probably not accept this proposal any time soon:

BB The Crazy Years - The 1990s (6 pages)
...
DD American government restricts magical research
dramatically due to Evangelical Christian influence
on the Buchanan administration; only the threat of
foreign magical attack prevents it from being
outlawed entirely.
...
CC The United States
DD Acceptance of "New World Order" conspiracy theory in
mainstream Republican thought
DD Growing anti-IST sentiment and xenophobia
C-BOX The "America First" movement
DD King narrowly re-elected in 1992, while Congress
shifts to Republican control
DD Patrick Buchanan elected U.S. President in 1996,
Congress remains controlled by Republicans
PULLQUOTE "Pat's a goddamn Nazi, but you always know
where you stand with him." - Hunter S. Thompson
(attributed)
DD Refusal to pay U.N. dues in 1997, rush to implement
the Singapore discovery and construct U.S.-owned
fusion plants
...
DD General perception overseas of the US decaying into
a "second-tier" nation
...
DD And the Pendulum Swings - the election of Democrat
Aaron Catalano as President in 2000 and the so-
called "Return to Rationality"

Too close to polarizing Real Life events.
