Too Much Alt History

I have been reading alternate history stories; that is, narratives in which a different historical even took place at some point thus altering things significantly in the future. (See The Yiddish Policeman's Union by Michael Chabon.) For some reason, this includes a lot of Jewish-themed material. (See the above and Philip Roth's The Plot Against America which I am planning to read.) I was reading Cat and Girl comics and thought of a title called The Compromised Land and want someone to roll with it. It would be a sarcastic take, full of witty, dry banter and social commentary. I don't think I am up to the task, but I want someone else to be.
