steel bread.png
From "When the Winds Blow: Britain during the Atomic War, 1987-1994" by Donald Glassmall
...but perhaps the most fondly remembered cuisine of the rationing period was the government sanctioned recipe for Soda Bread. A recipe itself was taken directly from special cookbooks published during the Black Christmas of 1954/5. Made of flour, margarine, vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, and milk (although due to the scarcity of dairy following the outbreak of foot and mouth in 1989, water was seen as an acceptable substitute), the bread was affordable within the confines of the rationing system, and crucially easy to make, eaten mainly as either the side dish of or as the dessert of a Sunday dinner when a family has pooled their left over rations of the week. Though known officially as 'Soda Bread' in the initial Victory Cookbook, the bread quickly became known as 'Ration Cakes', due to its use as a stand in for traditional cakes at celebrations (topped conservatively with homemade jams and ersatz icing), a name that became the breads official name in the second edition of the Victory Cookbook. The more popular name, and which the bread is known commonly as today, Steel Cakes, is a reference to Wartime Prime Minister David Steel Jr., who insisted on being photographed with the bread and other meals made in the Victory Cookbook. Following Steel's atomisation at the Bombing of Colchester by Soviet forces, the name became a way of remembering the slain Prime Minister. Steel Bread is still consumed today by those who grew up during the Atomic War, often on birthdays and other celebrations, and even with the end of rationing following the general peace of 1994, the recipe has remained largely unchanged. It remains the official food of Steel's Reform Party, who make a point of consuming the bread and rock salt before the opening of each Parliament, Devolved Legislator, and Council.

A dish that is, however, not fondly remembered is Salt Soup...

Another thing: Is this in that universe that had an overthrown satanist US government? If so, this AI seems to have a very negative view of the US government, which IIRC was doing much, much better since the satanists were overthrown.
It's recycled ideas, but not the same universe, which was never very tonally consistent and was always very much something half-formed. It's still 2600-2700, big rural space America with an occultist bent, and vaguely retrofuturistic in an atompunk by way of dieselpunk by way of cyberpunk sort of way, but that's about where it ends.

Looks like eternal war this time too. Lovely.

A collection of national legislatures from Qilai, Qilai.

The Parliament of the United Kingdom as of 2030, during the reign of King George VII. The Reform-Conservative Coalition is in a precarious place, as the Labour Party seems fit to shatter the alliance that has dominated British politics in the past decade. Prime Minister Marshall Tracy is facing a crisis of no confidence as the European Commonwealth has increased agitation campaigns in Northern Ireland, as well as the defection of a Reform MP to the SDP in late 2029. Labour has pledged, among other things, renewed ties with the Central European Defense Organization (constituting Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Austria) and the Tripartite Alliance of the United States, Soviet Union, and People's Republic of China.

The National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China is dominated by the Pan-Yellow Coalition, which draws it's origins as student liberals in the 1980s and 1990s. While initially supportive of the Democratic Progressive Party during their adolesence and young adulthood, the Pan-Yellow Coalition's essential leadership later coalesced into the Democratic Awakening. Their fortunes soared after the disasterous Ai Weiwei administration, which severely damaged the Pan-Red Coalition (at that time containing the Revolutionary KMT). By the later 2020s, the liberal coalition seemed fit to surge across China, and so it did.

As of 2030, the fortunes for the old guard of Mao and Chiang Kai-shek seem dim, as the two parties who sparked a prarie fire and a revolution, hold less than 30 seats combined, having been supplanted by newer ideas and fresher mindsets. The Pan-Red Coalition remains a contentious minority opposition, with the People's Party (Deng's old stomping ground) and the Communist Party of China (Dengist), a more orthodoxical Marxist organization, often debating Deng's true intentions for the future of China, with the Party of Chinese Social Democracy carrying the back-end.

The House of Commons of the Commonwealth of Canada as of 2030. Currently, the government in power is the Liberal Democratic Party under Prime Minister Rosalie Bouchard. Canada is certainly not a power to sniff at in 2030. An essential member of the Pan-American Common Market (PACM) and the Pacific Defense Organization (PDO), Canada is what is considered by many to be a 'minor-superpower' in the realm of the mega-superpowers. While not completely outside of American influence, Canadian presence in the UN and on the international stage is felt and respected by the Tripartite Powers. Canada currently has great relations with the People's Republic of China, but rocky relations with the Soviet Union, with whom there is often disputes over Arctic resources.
 
Honest Mistake and she doesnt marry Because Philip is still in the royal family so they couldnt really marry.
No worries just thought I’d point it out for you to rectify.

I know she can’t marry Philip but doesn’t she marry anyone? Seems unusual to think of a bachelorette to be prime minister.

Tony Benn was born in 1925
Dennis Skinner is on 6 years younger

Of course you can still have her be with Philip is this is like OTP, given that he was more an exiled Prince who was being shipped around by his relatives like an unwanted gift. Or you could do that weird pin the tail on Clinton thing and have her be hooked up with some notable figure of OTL who is reduced to the pub quiz question ITTL as 'who was the PMs spouse?'.

Fictional video games. The one on the left is a fictional Age of Empires II expansion that either replaces or occurs right after Rise of the Rajas. The second is a part of the FNaF universe in which FNaF World is released in mid-2016 to excellent reviews, so the creator decides to launch another game featuring the robots as protagonists, although it's a bit edgier (it builds off the plot of 3 in which they're revealed to be possessed by the spirits of murdered children, and presents them as a superhero team dedicated to scaring the bejesus out of criminals and other villains).

The infobox for the game on the right. ITTL, Cawthon entered into negotiations with Games Workshop to produce a licensed crossover in which (after the original series ends) the ghosts of the animatronics have learned to better differentiate friend and foe and, their bodies scrapped or burned, are now able to dish out terrifying revenge free of bodily limits. After 38,000 years in Heaven, they're drafted for their most dangerous mission yet - the Warp, where the tyrannical Chaos Gods have been playing a sadistic game of chess with billions of life-forms as pawns. The game received mixed reviews; the God-Emperor and the Space Marines were removed at GW's insistence after a controversy regarding the animatronics' ISIS-like flag as well as the graphic ways in which the Chaos Gods were killed, and the gameplay was somewhat counterintuitive (why is the only way to defeat Tzeentch by wearing him down with Nightmare-form jumpscares?), and many Warhammer 40k fans were outraged to see the Chaos Gods dead or in custody and the grimdark elements unceremoniously dispatched, with Golden Freddy dropping their heads before the throne of the nigh-immortal Hittite zombie (who was not shown or even named because of a licensing fallout), and some FNaF fans were appalled at the sight of Foxy grabbing a gun to battle Khorne (to show just how serious of a threat he posed), as well as the confusion of elements from canon, FNaF World, and fangames.

The strategy appears below:

Golden Freddy will tell Khorne that "it's over, Khorne. All the innocents who've died in your name possess our bodies." At that point, Khorne will attempt to lecture the ScareForce and Golden Freddy must launch his head to decapitate the Blood God before the lecture ends.

Slaanesh must be killed by a combination of a Chica form and a Marionette form piloting the "Day Walker" mecha, and the Prince of Pleasure must be asked "if [s/he] knows what real fear is like" by Warmaster Springtrap (one of three options in a dialogue tree).

Tzeentch must be attacked in his dreams by all of the Nightmares, causing him to suffer a massive heart attack - at which point Mangle must gut him and wear his skin as a cloak for the duration of the game to prevent him from resurrecting.

Lastly, Nurgle must be taken alive, coaxed to surrender by the bloody heads of the other three gods, so that Isha can escape.

So I learned that the world's shortest woman attempted to get into politics at one point before moving on to the small screen (Bigg Boss and more recently American Horror Story). What if, after a couple of decades acting, she decides to return to her first dream? (Yes, she's a right-winger, but she's president of a Hindu state for about two years before resigning to allow a secular regime to return).
