First the good news.....
You are still on Earth and it is still 2021, and you are now the proud owner of power and abilities of the following Characters:
1. Haruna from Arpeggio of Blue Steel
2. Alita (2.1) from Battle Angel Alita Last Order
3. Penny Polendina from RWBY
4. Nono from Diebuster
5. Ishtar from Fate/Grand Order
And now for the Bad News....
The Timeline of this World follows the same as ours, till the End of WW2.
In this Timeline, President Truman died on 30th June 1945, due to a tragic accient. His Successor, President Henry Morgenthau Jr., immediately implemented the so-called Morgenthau Plan with dramatic Changes
for the entire World. It is telling that anti-semitism in this Timeline is alive and well into the 2020s, and that Holocaust denial is not political suicide. Especially after the Statue of Liberty Attack in 1980´s, in which internment camps
similar to the ones Japanese-Americans were placed into OTL were started, to mainly curtail the 'bad Jews'.
A little overview of other Nations of this World:
So, how would you unf*ck this World ??

for the entire World. It is telling that anti-semitism in this Timeline is alive and well into the 2020s, and that Holocaust denial is not political suicide. Especially after the Statue of Liberty Attack in 1980´s, in which internment camps
similar to the ones Japanese-Americans were placed into OTL were started, to mainly curtail the 'bad Jews'.
A little overview of other Nations of this World:
United States
President Taft, fully implements a fiscally conservative roll back of the welfare state, who then successfully dismantled the New Deal. Unfortunately once the Second Depression hits America in the sixties, welfare programs that could have helped the American people are now largely underfunded or privatized- which paramounts to abolishing those programs such as when all the retirement money in Social Security is lost. While during the more or less prosperous fifties there is little controversy, once the economy enters into recession in the sixties, the loss of retirement money from the privatized Social Security hits elders' particularly hard. Also the United States is beset by terrorism (internal and external), economic collapse , political gridlock and instability, rise of the ultra-right. Also the civil rights movement has failed utterly and Jim Crow is alive and well. The civil rights movement gets strangled in its cradle, allowing segregation to persist in the South well beyond its OTL end. Things get worse in the 80s with the Urban Economic Zones, which are basically open-air prison camps for blacks. Ethnic and religious minorities are subject to severe discrimination, political opponents are harassed and jailed for both real and fabricated crimes, and regressive policies on womens' and LGBT rights are allowed to take effect. The United States suffers a Second Depression so devastating that many Americans are migrating to the Soviet Union while Jews, Blacks and Germans are blamed for the crisis.
President Buckler in 1976 assumed pretty well Hitlerian powers over America: interning entire ethnic and racial groups under the pretext of "terrorism", maintaining control over Congress by locking up opposition politicians on trumped-up or outright fabricated charges, limiting the franchise through incredibly restrictive voter ID laws, absorbing most of the private sector into the for-profit government control, simultaneously invading and attacking half a dozen countries with nuclear weapons at enormous loss of life, criminalizing such things as homosexuality, and violating just about every constitutional right in existence on a nationwide scale. President Buckler was seen as the worst President in History, namely because of this nuking of Brazil, China, Spain and Arabia to fight Communist rebels.
Later he was overthrown, and his successors decide to scrap the US Constitution and start over, writing a new US Constitution.
Soviet Union
Largely following the Event in OTL. However, due to the succesful implementations of market-oriented reforms wich saved her economy, resulting in a much, much stronger Soviet Union. In fact, the SU, became so succesful, that it became the new home for many People all around the world.
China
China suffered multiple nuclear strikes during the joint American-Taiwanese invasion of the mainland. The United States deployed nuclear weapons in the battlefield, causing radiation and killing thousands of people, including Mao. The United States are then divided the Nation into a Communist North and a Nationalist South, which is, after yet another nuclear war, forced the Communist into the Soviet Union.
Europe
Europe was thrown under the bus after the war by a isolationist United States. A very watered-down version of the Marshall Plan was implemented, only for it to be cut off by President Taft short time later. This slows down the European recovery to a halt, forcing European nations to pool their resources together to not only rebuilt but also defend themselves from the Soviet Union. With no Germany as it´s economic Engine, things are looking dark.
Germany
The successful implementation of the Morgenthau Plan destroyed Germany and killed approximately two million people and caused a Brain Drain from which Germany never recovered.
The complete deindustrialisation of Germany caused a total societal collapse. The effects of the Morgenthau Plan are so severe that modern-day Germany is a agrarian society with no modernity present.
As part of the Morgenthau Plan, million forced laborers were transported to other countries. Many of these so-called "Volunteers" were pressed into Military Service (their Families are held Hostage). Nations like France and Belgium
used then these "Volunteers", to terrorise the population of their Colonies and to eliminate political Opponents. Many Germans still trying to flee to the Soviet Block, to escape their miserable situation. However, crossing the border is not an easy task, because of the Iron Curtain, built by the Americans and French, to keep the Germans in. It should be noted that cases of cannibalism are not uncommon and many young soldiers who ventured into the so-called No-Go Zones ended up on the dinnerplates of the hungry people.
France
Largely follow the Events in OTL. As one of the Victors of WWII, France managed to keep it´s Empire and Colonies together. However, the situations in the Colonies becoming more and more difficult for the French Goverment.
France is currently tasked in guarding the Iron Curtain to keep the Germans from fleeing to the Soviet Block. The last Commanding Officer of the Occupation Forces in Germany, was killed by German Rebels. His remains were nowhere to be found.
It is rumored that he was eaten.
Israel
Following the Attack on Statue of Liberty, the United States invaded Israel and split it between it surrounding Neighbours.
Other Nations
Brazil, Spain and Saudi Arabia are currently embroiled in a Civil War. These Nations were hit by the United States with Nuclear Weapons as well as Chemical Weapons in order to fight the Communist Rebels.
