In the parlance of [[Alternate History]] Fandom a "Wank" is where a single nation, culture, political theory, or philosophy is singled out and advantaged, typically at the expense of its contemporaries. Perhaps the British Empire has not just kept the American colonies, but expanded into South America as well. Maybe the Greater United States rules our world's Canada and Mexico. Maybe Rome, the Mongols, or [[Those Wacky Nazis]] managed to win it all and now [[Take Over the World|dominate the globe]].

See also [[America Takes Over the World]], [[Japan Takes Over the World]] and [[China Takes Over the World]] for country-specific examples.

* This treatment is really popular for famous empires, though "bad guy" empires tend to be the most popular for wank status. For every "Rome never falls" timeline there seem to be at least three "USSR and/or Nazi Germany takes over the world".
