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 disproportionately at the expense of its contemporaries. Perhaps the British Empire has not just kept the American colonies, but expanded deep into Latin America as well. In short, the point of divergence that created the alternate history has also created a "Republic Of Mary Sue" of one sort or another. This treatment is really popular for famous empires, though "bad guy" empires tend to be the most popular for wank status. Another way this trope comes about is when one historically significant person is suddenly killed or spared in this alternate timeline, leading to changes that are, at best, questionable. Such as "if Julius Caesar was not assassinated, Rome would develop steam powered technology and bring the barbarians to their knees". And that is a relatively tame example.
