So, in this universe, are Hispanics classified as "white"?
EDIT: In that, unlike in our universe, they would be described as "Catholic white" rather than "Hispanic".

The short version is 'yes.' A slightly less short version might note a similarity to the OTL Italian community in regards to the level of integration/maintenance of own culture. A much longer version would involve a description of a sort of continuum where WASPs, German-Irish/Northern European, Hispanic/Southern European/Mediterranean, Semitic, and in some places and some cases, even some obviously non-white groups like Native Americans and the pre-exclusion East Asian immigrants, all sort of exist alongside one another, in varying states of cultural and ancestral admixture.
Ah, interesting. I look forward to seeing more - I don't recall whether or not I commented earlier, but I have, so far, quite enjoyed your wikiboxes!
Thank you.
There's a lot more coming, so here's to hoping I can continue not to disappoint.

The People's Republic of China, over the 21st century, has gone from an undemocratic one-party state to a... more democratic one-party state. The Guo Reforms of the 2050s introduced internal democracy into the Communist Party of China - a misnomer, even before the century began, and only more so now, as a party system has developed within the party.
The most recent election to the position of Leader of the Communist Party occurred in April 2099, when previous leader Zhou Rushan stepped down after a debacle in which a skyscraper built as part of the "New Growth Initiative" that she had spearheaded collapsed - an incident found to be the result of massive corner-cutting and moderate corruption.
Various politicians from the various factions (de facto parties) of the party put themselves forward. Zhou's groomed successor, Yu Hongzheng, ran as a moderate - in favor of greater use of social engineering and government investment in urban renewal. The three other major candidates were Zheng Weimin, who ran on a platform of increased privatization and freer trade; Xia Yingpei, who supported a more relaxed social policy, and Ou Heng, who supported greater military buildup, especially in orbital weaponry.
Contra polling, Xia was eliminated before Ou - conspiracy theorists point to this, among other elections, as evidence that the Chinese government's social engineering was being used to maintain itself by eliminating its opponents. Ou lost to Zheng in the second round, as expected, leaving a close race between Zheng and Yu. In the end, the better-funded Zheng triumphed decisively.

The CSS was launched in the late 1980s as the Confederates first attempt to have humans stay in space for long periods of time. The CSS is the first ever space station to be built in the world it was built in Houston, Texas and comprises of three sections. The CSA Section, The European Section, and Asian Section they each Comprise of astronauts (Cosmonaut in Russia's Case) from there Specific Country and Region. In 2017 it is going to have a Z-Type Laser installed in case the CSA has to go to war with a country.
It has caused controversy in many different areas of the world with the Instalation of a weapon in space.

Yeah? Have fun when the rest of the world fucks you in the ass because you're threatening them.
You know, there are reasons why IRL nations care about international approval, especially when it comes to goddamn weapons in space.
In that case it's certainly not just because it's good for their conscience to care.
I mean, certainly this would be the case for an independent CSA (which, to reiterate the AH.com consensus of the past three years or so, would be a banana republic within twenty years of independence), but quite frankly, the notion that a nation like the modern US could face any sort of consequences for its actions is ludicrous.
