With Spain being a democracy since 1947 ITTL, and a restored monarchy since 1955, the country and it’s politics are a bit different. I’ve got an update in the works for Spain and it’s history.
Much like OTL, Spain is dominated by two parties, the centre-left Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (Partido Socialista Obrero Español; PSOE) and the centre-right Popular Democratic Party (Partido Democrático Popular; PDP). The centrist liberal conservative Union of the Centre (Unión del Centro; UdC) used to be a major political player, but has since declined as the PDP rose.
Yeah monarchies are definitely the dominant political framework ITTL, with only 48 of the 143 countries in the world being republics. Republican ideology ITTL, specifically the OTL US presidential system, is more or less discredited as a political ideology given the experiences of post-revolution France and post-independence Latin America. The fact that monarchies like Britain, California, Brazil and Japan, have been at the forefront of geopolitics and economic development, whilst republics like New Granada and Mexico (during it's two republican periods) have suffered unrest, civil wars and economic stagnation, has done much to give most people ITTL the attitude that monarchies are best.
What about it?
Thanks
New Jersey is a province of the Commonwealth of Columbia, which covers OTL New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and D.C. There is more urban development near Philadelphia and along the corridor between it and Newark.
Bergen and Hudson counties are part of New York ITTL. New Jersey retains some Dutch-speaking communities in the north, primarily the Highlands, and Swedish-speaking areas in the south of the province.

By golly I'd be a New Yorker then! Bergen county native here.
I love the Dutch and Swedish speakers not dying out, it gives my home state a little more flavour. By the way where would German immigrants in British North America settle? My family came from Bavaria in the 1870s on my fathers side, and my mothers side came to Virginia and was from Jamestown, ignoring the fact that my existence would probably be butterflied away. But then again Trump exists in this world and he was descended from German immigrants too.

Tfw no Louisiana election wikibox yet

It's just somewhere on the list of lots of things to do right now, unfortunately.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to tell you, but it's a good bet that the Parti de la Nation Cajun is one of the major parties, even if they're not exactly in a position to win government.
Here's a wikibox for myself ITTL. IRL I'm actually more Italian than French, but ITTL I think I'd be more French. Instead of being a Independent candidate for President of the United States in 2020 and Democratic candidate for House of Representatives in 2018, I'm the Socialist Labour candidate for my constituency in the upcoming British imperial election. If elected, I'd be the youngest MP at 18.
Can you please explain to me why your party is socialist Labour as Labour is kind of inherintly socialist?
Actually I don't believe the Labour Party is a major party ITTL, with the Social Democrats being the second largest party. The Social Democrats are... Social Democrats, not Socialists. Donald Ramotar was the Socialist Labour leader in 2015. Ramotar, the former President of Guyana, is a Marxist-Leninist IOTL. I could fit in either party pretty well, although I doubt the Social Democrats would choose an 18 year old who admires Kim Il-Sung and Joseph Stalin as their nominee in any constituency.
I was looking at the India wikibox and I was just wondering - was Bhutto the same person he was IOTL? In OTL, he was overthrown because he rigged the 1977 election. It's a little odd that, if people are similar ITTL, that Indira Gandhi was removed for her authoritarian tendencies, but Bhutto, who rigged an election (something Indira Gandhi never even considered doing) was not.
Can I see your campaign website?Here's a wikibox for myself ITTL. IRL I'm actually more Italian than French, but ITTL I think I'd be more French.

Here. It's only for my 2020 Presidential campaign at the moment, and I need to update it sometime. I left most of my positions on the issues pretty vague on purpose because I don't know if I should go full Communist for my campaign or not.Can I see your campaign website?
Wow, you actually have one, you have some interesting ideas. By the way, I just realised you actually have a ballotpedia page which is pretty cool
.God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queeeeeeeen!
Hail Britannia, God bless thee!
Hail, her people, strong and free,
Who fight and bleed in freedom’s cause,
Who fight and bleed in freedom’s cause,
And when the storm of war has gone
Enjoy the peace your valour won.
Hail Britannia, we expound!
Hail, her matchless beauty crowned!
March on Britannia, in the joyful throng,
Defend the right and right the wrong,
And let our Empire always be
Loyal, united, and forever free.
Has the map been changed, because it seems there is a single country covering; Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Hejaz. So, a single Hashemite Kingdom?

So I'm back
Sorry for the long absence, but work has been a complete nightmare and although I've broken up for the Summer holidays, I've needed to take some time away from this project to get my head straight in real life.
But before I answer your questions and get back to more regular (fingers crossed) updates, it's time to celebrate the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of this thread
Many thanks to everyone who has followed, read and supported me with this series over the last year.
But massive thanks most go to @Kanan who took time out from her busy schedule to make this amazing map of North America.
