Sorry for the absence! This time it's exam season at work, so not an awful lot of free time. Only seven weeks till Summer though
I'll try and be a bit more frequent with posts in the interim. Next up the Bahamas, a bit about global systems of government, the monarchs of Western Europe, and the British Queen-Empress herself.
Wolfram is correct, I've used a bit of creative license to change the names of OTL politicians to be more Native Hawaiian in origin. All the Prime Ministers of Hawai'i are OTL individuals.
One word - messy.
All in good time. There's stuff in the works for parts of Southeast and East Asia.
The legislature of the Ohio Country is a tricameral body known officially as the Congress of the States of the Ohio Country, or commonly the Confederation Congress, and consists of the House of States, the House of Councillors and the House of Delegates. The Ohio Country is very much an area that is a work in progress, and hopefully over the summer I'll have the time to sit and map out the region properly.
Effectively the Ohio legislature is a merger of the OTL Westminster and Washington systems: the House of States is the chamber of final review, consisting of the Heads of Government of the states, plus 2 members appointed from each state and 7 appointed by the First Minister; the House of Councillors is effectively an elected Senate, with 7 members from each state elected under various systems (usually serve life terms); the House of Delegates in made up of 363 members elected under the Additional Member system.
The parties in the Ohio Country are similar to OTL EU parties, in that they are alliances of state-level parties that band together based on ideology:
Here's a blank election map for the dominion:
The Tony Stark thing is a neat idea. I think the Chitauri invasion would still take place over New York, as Stark would likely have still based himself there and built the tower. Plus there would be a shock and awe element in decimating the largest city of the largest superpower. Coulson as a stereotypical old-school English agent would be brilliant
I think a lot of OTL heroes would be merged, so Captain Britain/Captain America would be Captain Britannia; either incorporating elements of both backstories or as two individuals who take up the others mantle. Wakanda I could see still existing, as a former British protectorate in Central Africa (OTL Congo). Anti-colonialism still exists ITTL, but not to the extend of OTL as the Scramble for Africa never took off. Latveria might be recast as a Germanic Alpine nation rather than a Hispanic one...

Amazing, is the fmr. Prime Minister of Hawaii 'Pakelekia Saiki' made up by any chance?
That's probably OTL's Pat Saiki.

I wonder how what an election in Westralia would look.

@LeinadB93 it is possible you could do a wikibox on Vietnam?
All in good time. There's stuff in the works for parts of Southeast and East Asia.
@LeinadB93 What are the parliamentary parties represented in the Ohio Country Parliament?

Alliance of Liberals and Democrats of Ohio - Centre; socially liberal with classical liberal strands. Definitely Third Way.
Association of Ohioan Moderates and Reformists - Centre-right; moderate conservatives with a liberal strand. One of the more successful branches of the Imperial Progressive Conservatives.
Ecological—Radical Movement - Radical ecological centrists with a strong Libertarian slant.
Ohioan National Democrats - Right-wing British nationalists with a strong strand of Christian democracy.
Ohioan People's Party - Centre-right; classic British unionist conservatives. Very much a broad tent, incorporating liberal conservatives and more hard-right types.
Republican Front of the Ohio Country - Left-wing republicans. Particularly strong in Detroit State and West Connecticut.
Union of Ohioan Socialists and Progressives - Centre-left to left-wing; social democrats and democratic socialists dominate politically, with a strong left-wing of the party espousing more hard-core socialist policies.
Voix des États - Broad left; federal alliance of state-level nationalist/regionalist/autonomist parties.

So what about Marvel movies? Is there a Battle of London instead of a Battle of New York? A Captain Britannia instead of a Captain America? It occurs to me that one could easily have Tony Stark still live in Malibu if Maria Stark is Californian and he thus has dual citizenship. There's a part of me that really wants to see an English Agent Coulson- I feel like the stereotype of understatement and the stiff upper lip would go perfectly with a seen-it-all-already S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who's not impressed with these prima donna superheroes.
Want. NOW!
The Marvel-verse UK already has a Captain Britain and other superheroes such as Union Jack. I suspect a lot of super heroes/villains either do not exist or like in DC are different age versions e.g. The Flash is either Barry Allen, Wally West or Jay Garrick depending on the era. So Steve Rogers could be a version of Captain Britain and the Avengers being the New Knights of the Round Table.
I suspect some settings such as Wakanda don't exist due to the environments which created them (anti-colonial etc) never existing or are radically changed due to the culture, laws and standards of the being different between OTL USA and UKE e.g. Dr Dooms Latvia being in Central to South America instead of Europe due that being much more cultural different to the UKE than a Central/Eastern Europe kingdom (remember the personal union the Kingdom of Britain had with the Electorate of Hannover until Victoria).
