The idea is that we would run Presidential elections from 1952 onward. We would do OTL politicians until the butterflies catch up.Depends on which election it's going to be and who the candidates are.

When is the mod out?

(I guess, don't consider it canon, but an interesting concept for the TWR world nonetheless)
"... Panic spread throughout the Luftwaffe as the Abwere reports on the American B-47 was being discussed among general staff In response to the threat poised by the Amerikans, the Luftwaffe scrambled to find a potential interceptor, least German become another Japan. This interceptor was found in Messerschmidt's design department.
Originally thought up by Franz Bessler, an engineer commissioned to draft up potential aircraft designs, the Luftwaffe saw not only a defense against nuclear strikes by the Toronto Accord, but also a mean to equip their new air-to-air Komet missiles, and ensure the Luftwaffe maintains its aerial dominance on the European mainland.
Unfortunately for the Luftwaffe, the FB-800 was not the wonder it was hoping for. Due to a rushed production, many design flaws were persistent. Test pilots often complained of controls that would be sluggish for one moment, and then suddenly overcompensate. Other times, test-pilots reported a shaking sensation whenever the plane reached above 45,000ft, (15240). And in typical Nazi fashion, the safety of the pilot was questionable at best.
On three separate occasion, the oxygen system to keep the pilot lucid failed, resulting in one test-pilot losing consciousness, and crashing. It is unknown on whether or not he survived. Along with a faulty oxygen system, the ejection mechanism was full of problems. The canopy did not remove itself when tested, and the cockpit had to be refitted to make room for the parachute

I gotta say this all looks great. Best AH I've ever seen.
It's all good. We've all seen the massive amounts of work you and your team have put into the TWR mod, and we fully anticipate its release.Thanks!
Might as well take this opportunity to say - sorry for the lack of... stuff at the moment really. This has been and continues to be a very busy time for me, lots of things to sort out, early deadlines one after the other, that sort of thing. I'm not gone! I work away on the HOI4 mod when i have bits of time, and I think about TWR all the time. One day I'll be back and make more maps and things, thanks for all your patience!

You know, @AP246, I just returned from the TWR mod subreddit, and I have to say, the Civil Rights Movement seems to be being handled a lot differently than I would have thought. IOTL, one of the reasons things were so difficult for it to really take off in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s was because the Soviet Union's presence as America's archnemesis caused domestic politics to shift to the right of the political spectrum. People who wanted racial integration were labeled "commies" and "Reds" and their arguments were dismissed because of that. But here, with the Cold War being between the Atlantic Union and the fascist, totalitarian, genocidal German Reich, we should see the opposite thing occur. The United States should become more liberal in the face of the Nazis (the modern Civil Rights Movement IOTL had its roots in WWII, after all), racists and segregationists would be branded as "Nazis" and "despots" and have their arguments degraded, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Civil Rights Movement hit the same largely successful peak it reached in the mid- to late-1960s by the late-1950s to early-1960s.
They might be, like, a year or two behind on rocketry, but between espionage and seeing the Nazis make use of rockets America would be more than capable of making up the "gap" caused by no Paperclip.While we are talking about the US I am also curious: since the US didn't get nazi scientists until at least 1960 if ever, would they still have developed their tech as fast?

A little sneak preview of something to come...
(yes I'm kinda maybe back)
I notice that there is a colour extending all the way to 0 - does that mean we are going to get historic democracy index scores as well?
Not in this map, I'm afraid. It becomes difficult as these kinds of indices are a relatively very new invention (post-cold war i think) so trying to fit older 20th century regimes into them might get difficult.
