The 2020 Floridian Independence Referendum was a hotly-contested referendum held within the state of Florida on whether it should remain within the Union, or become independent. The narrow victory in favor of independence was regarded by many political pundits to be a surprise upset, as opinion polling showed the "No" vote with a decisive lead for the past few months. Currently, no agreement on any separation plan has been reached by either the United States or Florida as of 2025.
What issues led to there being a referendum in the first place? Looks like the major population centers were mostly against it.

Pretty cool! Well it looks like an overgrown tumor but it's inevitable once you break France's perfect Hexagon without reaching the Natural Borders...
I have to say tho, the french government likely wouldn't want to merge it with Alsace, It's culturally different, and merging it would mean a risk (as small it is) to lose alsace if the Rhenanie ever wants independence...
How many of the 10 millions inhabitant are germans?
Reminds me of a similar Infobox i made a few months ago
That was a rather different scenario, with D-Day happening a bit earlier and smaller and ending with a defeat, along with even more succesful soviet summer campaign, resulting In the soviet reaching the Rhine and going beyond before the allies even liberate Paris, German troops commits a much more violent scorched earth strategy in France as they are stuck and France becomes communist in the couple of years after ww2, and is offered the left bank of the rhine, which it promptly expel most germans from and resettle with various French famillies affected by the war.
I think the merger would only happen in 2016 at the same time as the OTL merger of regions; prior to then there would have been a few regions of which Alsace would be one.
The vast majority have German ancestry but identify as French now.

The 2017 American Federal Election was held on the 20th of September 2017 to elect members to the American House of Commons. The election occurred due to calls for a snap election after the death of Prime Minister Jack Layton whom had been in office since 2010. Immediately afterwards of his death Deputy Labor leader assumed the title of Prime Minister and being a popular national figure officially became leader unanimously. Immediately After Layton's death The stability of the usually Smoothly Running Alliance government started to decline as Goodwin replaced a couple of Ministers and took some drastically different potions than Layton did. However, Labor stayed strong in the polls and Goodwin declared his support for an early election.
The 1.5 Month-Long Campaign Period for the election was comparatively short to other American elections with Prime Minister Goodwin explaining that he wanted to "Get back to work" which ended up being the campaign slogan of the whole Alliance Campaign. Polls showed that Labor the Liberals and UP were going to Gain seats to overtake Laytons 2015 victory but as the campaign started Donald Trump's America First! started to Soar in the polls going from a stable 5% to almost 15% from the start of the campaign to the first debate. The Coalition was hurt severely by this whos Seat projections started to fall rapidly.
The first leaders' debate since the 1960s had included the leaders of every major political party with the Alliance and Coalition partners being represented separately. The Debate covered topics of Transport, Housing, Education and Taxes. A strong performance by Paul Ryan in the debate and Justin Trudeau's appearance of trying to Upstage Carte Goodwin gave the effect of giving The Coalition momentum which it desperately needed. Donald Trump's performance was seen as very poor and rough which caused America First! to decline in the polls.
Before the Second Debate it seemed that all parties involved seemed to introduce dirtier tactics to their campaigns, Reform started Attacking Jack Layton himself which was seen as Cruel at the time while Labor made personal attacks on Ryan's personality. The support of Major parties started to stay still benefiting the relatively Quiet 3rd parties such as The Greens and The Progressives.
The second debate was held between Parliamentary Coalition leaders which meant Trudeau, Paul, Bernier and Florin weren't present. This debate was seen as going well for Goodwin and Trump. Goodwin's performance seemed to be solid despite unfavourable discussion topics and Trump appeared polished and Strong taking on all party leaders.
A week before the 3rd and Final National leaders debate (Which excludes the more than 30 individual regional and certain language debates) A small scandal occurred for Labor as it had been revealed that MP John Zaccaro had openly admitted to violating the National Election Commissions rule of not contributing more than $5000 to an Individual candidate in an election. John Zaccaro had given his late wife Geraldine Ferraro and other New York candidates over 2 Million dollars worth of Campaign donations secretly. Zaccaro wasn't suspended as a Candidate but his personal popularity in his own district plummeted which gave Donald Trump the benefit of going from a long-shot candidate in the district likely hoping to sit outside parliament to becoming an actual contender.
Although Goodwin deflected this in the 1v1 leader's debate with Ryan the damage had already been done and Labors credibility from the Layton Era had been partially destroyed. A tense election night ensued a Week later where it was uncertain whether The Alliance would keep a Majority, Far away from the near landslide projections earlier in the campaign. The Alliance fell just short of a Majority so a small deal was made from Carte Goodwin to Elizabeth May to be supportive of the government in return for a lack of attacks on the greens. This allowed King George II to ask Carte Goodwin to form a government the following day.

Since we're on a Hubbard trend...
Lafayette Ronald Hubbard (13 March 1911 – 24 January 1986) was an American author of science fiction and fantasy stories. Born in Tilden, Nebraska in 1911, Hubbard spent much of his childhood in Helena, Montana. After his father was posted to the U.S. naval base on Guam, Hubbard traveled to Asia and the South Pacific in the late 1920s. In 1930, Hubbard enrolled at George Washington University to study civil engineering but dropped out in his second year to begin his career as a prolific writer of pulp fiction stories, film serials, and television screenplays.
Among his most praised novels are Gemini (1965), a psychological novel about two clones birthed from the same deceased man, Goddess of Love (1951), about the first manned trip to Venus, and Stumble Into Yesterday (1954) about a time travel voyage into the Jurassic gone awry. Hubbard also wrote for television, including episodes of The Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone, and most famously, Star Trek: The Original Series. He was also the principal writer of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) and was a regular attendee of Trek cons in the 1970s and 80s.
Hubbard moved to Bellingham, Washington in the early 1980s, where he spend his final years in retirement. His writings have been praised by a diverse set of science fiction and fantasy authors, including Issac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Stephen King.
POD is that Hubbard doesn't have the near-fatal experience at his dentist's which spiraled into him founding Scientology.

From Desire the Right:
Robert LeRoy Parker, better known by the alias Butch Cassidy, was an American train robber, bank robber, and con man, known for being the leader of a gang of criminal outlaws known as the "Wild Bunch" in the American Old West as well as acquiring the office of Mayor of Gallagher, Magellan, in Patagonia under the alias of Lloyd Cassidy through fraud and confidence schemes only to steal the city's entire treasury a week and a half later and vacate the office. He would be caught in Victoria posing as a rich man named Didacus Maxwell in an attempt to escape back to the United States. He would be arrested and spent a handful of months awaiting trial, only to con his way out of imprisonment (accounts of his exact con vary) and escape into the interior of New Monmouthshire. Soon afterwards, law enforcement would catch up with him, and he would die in a shootout with police in the interior town of Good Glasswell.
