Valid point. I'll have to give it some thought on what I'm gonna do. Even if I end up sucking even worse at this TL, I can't cultivate a reputation any worse than the dude who actually wrote the original Draka.

Too right. No offense to Mr. Sterling, but it's pretty bad when I find works like "Proof Through the Night" more compelling and readable than the actual works it's based on.
Also, something else about your Infobox that caught my eye: why is Russian such a major language in Georgia and not one of the other African ones? I get that there's gonna be a major influx of revolutionaries like the Bolsheviks, but wouldn't they learn one of the other tongues given their later arrival and the fact that other languages would've been established? If nothing else, I'd say that you're missing one or two others in addition to those (Portuguese and Swahili come to mind). I'm sorry I keep bringing up so many nitpicks, please understand it comes from a place of support and interest

This is the 2052 Japanese general election in Archangel Michael's A Jovian Night's Dream. Was meaning to post this yesterday due to it being the same day as the election, but was busy and it needed to be revised. Anyway, enjoy it. Have a Merry Christmas, everybody!

You know TPL99's Great Canada proposal? Well here is how it could turn out as well:
A (possible) Soviet Obama
Son of Armenian immigrant Enn Darbinyan Orlova and Russian born in Kenya Barak Goratsiy Orlov, Barak Orlov is the current president of the Soviet Union. Even suffering racial prejudice in the country, was a brilliant student and in 1982 had entered the Leningrad University, where he graduated in law three years later. In 1986 he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, influenced by his favorite teacher Dzheyms Karter. During the 1990s, Orlov concluded their degrees. His talent earned him a nomination for President of the University of Moscow in 1998. In 2003, resigned after his election to the Politburo. Orlov was gaining prominence, although not one of the favorites to succeed Gennady Zyuganov for president of the Soviet Union. With the announcement that the president would not run for a second term of five years, Orlov was nominated for the presidency and the post of general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party.
On 1 January 2012 he took office and had to face an economic crisis at the beginning of his term, with the devaluation of the ruble. Besides the repression of separatist movements across the country. In 2013, with the Brazilian president Ana Meirelles, the South African Prime Minister Wilhelm van Kleent, Chinese President Xi Chang Un and Indian Prime Minister Bala Bakshi signed the agreement establishing the BRICS bloc composed of the major developing economies . Within the USSR, Orlov suffers criticism for his approach to US President Vince Patting and the expansion of economic opening of the Soviet bloc. Such measures did the famous radio Ruslan Lipov call it "capitalist spy in the Soviet government."

why?
The riots, and the scale of them. The implication of them seems to be that the government has been treating large amounts of the Irish population like sh*t for some time. (the pre-1972 devolved Ulster government is coming to my mind for me).

It's really obvious when you make up pseudo-Chinese names, especially when you don't follow Chinese naming conventions.
Also these boxes are getting a bit stale and unimaginative.

O Denizens of the Wikibox thread, I beseech thee:
(from the Greek politics thread)
Any takers?
(from the Greek politics thread)
At the current rate amendments are put to bills, by the end of the year the country will have changed its name, flag colours, Athens will have been relocated to Antarctica, and the official language will be Thai.
Any takers?

I'd assume that if the UK held onto Ireland they had probably placated them in some way (such as federalization/self rule) so there wouldn't be that much tension.
... but still riots. So clearly there is tension. I suspect we'll need Rascallite to come back and explain what he/she was trying to do with the infoboxes.
@Thande, I might have a go at it tomorrow...
And of course most of the no is the part of Northern Ireland in OTL
Well, Ireland's had a significant amount of autonomy from London since the 1920's, more so than the other constituent countries. However, its laws could be, and sometimes were easily overridden by the British Parliament. The Troubles were much more intense and generalized, with low-scale guerrila warfare occurring in County Fermanagh and County Monaghan. Couple that with a NORAID that lasted much longer than in OTL.
In the early 80's, after IRA attacks on police stations throught Ireland, martial law was declared in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway and Bangor. According to the Ireland Office and the Ministry of Defence, these towns needed to be cleared out of all paramilitary organizations, loyalist and republican alike. Citizens were advised to leave town. By then, Ireland was much poorer than Britain and its economy was completely dependent on the rest of the United Kingdom. A common saying was: "When England sneezes, Ireland catches a cold". Needless to say, the declaration of martial law had a disastrous impact on the already struggling Irish economy. Furthermore, upon returning home, citizens were faced with cities battered by conflicts between the SAS and the paramilitary. This caused a lot of resentment on the Irish people.
Come 2014, Ireland is once again crippled by a financial crisis and for the first time in its history, a referendum on independence will take place. Riots were expected regardless of the result.
So, yeah, saying things are "tense" is quite an understatement.
