Governments should pass a law which prohibits people from overthinking that alternative timeline, for the sake of the public's sanity. It just doesn't make any sense. Even when it is summarized properly, there are just too many loopholes. The best thing to do is treat it like a stand-alone atrocity that has no relation to any other canon storylines. Asking stuff like "what if this happened?" or "where was X at that point?" don't make any sense and these questions will never get a reasonable answer.
