Spoiler: Based off this little infobox

It is 1956, and the chief business of America is business, as it has always been. The center of global economy, the United States of America continues to keep the League of Nations at arm's length, putting itself and the Americas above global affairs. Although immigration remains limited, tourists and native-born Americans flock to megalopolises like New York, Boston and Chicago, seeking to visit the Cotton Clubs, take a look at the Better Babies contests and share in the taste of the Capone pie.

In this environment of bustling cities and growing wealth, the Republicans are the preferred pick of the vast majority of Americans, or at least the vast urban middle class, for whom the Party of Lincoln and Coolidge symbolizes normalcy, sovereignty and liberty. Farmers in the West have been... slightly less appreciative, but they do largely vote Republican. Beneath the parallel 36°30' north and in certain big cities the Democrats are dominant, backed by poll taxes, urban machines and century-long traditions; the Party of Jackson, divided chiefly between the Southerners and the non-WASP Northerners, has never really mustered strong opposition to Republican power, and even the 1929 slump (which proved to be little more than a hiccup) failed to see the Democrats take charge as was expected by some pundits - however, it did empower the Farmer-Labour Party and the Progressive Party, both of which would go on to form a coalition and prove fairly popular with Midwestern farmers and West Coast citizens, aggrieved by the laissez-faire policies of the Republican establishment.

Republicans didn't govern completely uninterrupted, however, as a series of scandals within to the Fuller administration, the 1939 "Plains scare" and the Japanese Empire's increasing aggression towards the Philippines and American business in China saw the Democrats, led by Massachusetts Governor Charles Hurley and Texas Senator Tom Connally, retake the White House.
Although Hurley tried to promote a slightly more "Wilsonian" agenda in terms of domestic and international policies, he frequently had to fight an unfriendly Congress, and much of his tenure was dominated by the Pacific War - which, while a defeat for the imperialistic Japanese, was painted by prominent American newspapers as yet another unnecessary international quagmire, and the Treaty of Rotterdam was perceived by certain figures as far too beneficial for the Brits, the Soviets and the "perfidious Orientals" which gained independence during the implementation of the Treaty.

In the end, though not unpopular, Hurley left the office lobbed with accusations of corruption and war profiteering, and a compromise ticket, well-meaning as it was, ended up losing to the Dynamic Duo of Edsel Ford and John Coolidge, the sons of the two very bastions of greatness that defined modern Americana. Continuing business as usual after a brief break from normalcy, Ford and Coolidge went on to win against the increasingly marginalized Democrats in 1952. President Ford's unfortunate passing from stomach cancer was mourned by the entire country, and led Congressional Democrats to take a beating during the midterms. With the younger Coolidge at the helm, the ship of state remains at peace, though as controversies regarding Coolidge's governorship of Connecticut and administration of the New Haven railroad system emerge, few can imagine what the future holds for America.

Notes:
[1] Plural of Taoiseach
[2] As President of The Executive Council
[3] As President of The Executive Council before 1937.
[4] As head of Inter-Party Government
[5] deValera having resigned on account of poor health in 1955, Lemass takes over control of the country two years earlier than in OTL, and proceeded to embark on broadly the same campaign of economic reforms, albeit earlier. Resigned on account of rapidly deteriorating health 3 months before an election was due so as to "allow the Irish people a say in who will govern them".
[6] One of the great "what-ifs" of Irish history, O'Malley's tenure oversaw the start of a wide-reaching reform package that sought to make secondary education free at the point of use, create of a single-payer universal healthcare system, expand the welfare system; and overseeing a thaw in relations with the North (meeting with PM Terence O'Neill regularly to discuss cross-border policies) in its 3 years in office. Sadly, O'Malley's sudden death of a stroke aged 48 at his family home in Limerick before much of the reforms he championed were saw through, left a nation in mourning, and endless speculation as to how he would've handled the crises Ireland was to soon face.
[7] Rising to the office as O'Malley's Taniste, Hillery's short tenure was dominated by the escalation of violence in Northern Ireland which resulted in Hillery controversially sending Irish Troops to the border with the North, and appealing to the British government of Edward Heath as to allow for a joint peacekeeping operation. Sadly, his government was toppled in the Arms Crisis, where the revelation that his Defence Minister, Charles Haughey had been embezzling money meant for humanitarian assistance in the North, and used the profits to arm the IRA led to Hillery's resignation, Haughey's imprisonment, and a Fine Gael landslide so large, seismographs in Hawaii picked it up.
[8] Elected in a landslide following the resignation of Hillery's government, Cosgrave's term was dominated by three issues: The attempt to co-operate with the British as to find a peaceful solution to the troubles, the efforts made by Foreign Minister Garret FitzGerald to allow Ireland to enter the European Community in 1975, and Cosgrave proving himself to be the type of politician who thought himself a panacea, when by all accounts he was a poison by engaing in endless petty pissing contests with the President, (British) Prime Minister and Press while the public saw little improvement in their daily situation. This combative attitude meant that little progress was made on the Peace Process, the economy started to stagnate, and a constitutional crisis emerged once Erskine Childers desired to become more active in Ireland's political life independent of the Taoiseach. The real damage of this attitude, however only became apparent once a UVF bombing campaign in early 1974 led to a lot of uncomfortable questions being asked of Cosgrave's failure to come to the negotiating table (vindicated in the 2000s once documents proved British intelligence played an essential role in the planning and carrying out of the attacks), and his refusal to co-operate with Childers in order to help a grieving nation saw to his being forced out of power, and into the undying disgust of a nation.
[9] A veteran of the Lemass and O'Malley administrations, Lynch's government was marked by Ireland's entry to the EC, the embrace of a set of very popular tax-cuts that even Milton Friedman thought extreme, but without any of the reductions in government spending that such policies are meant to be paired with. The impact of these policies (a national deficit as high as 25% by 1978), while certainly enough to worry any economist, was somewhat obscured to the average voter thanks to Ireland's industries experiencing a small economic boom thanks to their being able to avail of the Single Market, and the drastically lowered overhead costs involved in running an enterprise, allowing him to seek easy re-election in 1977, and gracefully retire in 1979 after trying (and failing) to convince the Whitelaw government to allow Ireland a say in any future policies concerning Northern Ireland.
[10] George Colley led, what was in many ways, the most unfortunate administration ever encountered in Ireland, being the poor shmuck holding the reins when the economic time-bomb set by Lynch promptly blew up, and necessitated a set of harsh austerity measures (largely targeting the welfare state he helped to found as O'Malley's Minister for Economic Development) and tax hikes that helped to destroy the party's credibility, and his steadfast refusal to hold an election until the last possible moment helped to maximise the electoral fallout of these same policies once it did occur.
[11] Garret FitzGerald had already achieved notoriety as Foreign Minister under the otherwise-disastrous Cosgrave government where he managed to negotiate Ireland's entry to the EC, and having been able to rebuild and reinvigorate a moribund Fine Gael reeling off their shock loss in 1977 into a coalition government, he was promtly faced with the unenviable task of being forced to fix a stagnant economy with an insanely high national debt, and an inflation rate that could give Weimar Germany a run for its (increasingly worthless) money in such a way as to not destroy the welfare state that his coalition partners in the Labour party sought to protect. While his administration had seen moderate success in this regard (bringing unemployment down from 9% to 7%, and inflation below 6%), the fragile but stable relationship between the two parties was broken by the Pro-Life Amendment campaign, and the fact that while the average Fine Gael back-bencher supported their push for a constitutional amendment outlawing abortion, the liberal wing of the party (to which FitzGerald and a not-insignificant part of the front bench were a part of) and Labour were opposed to such an amendment. The back-bench revolt came to a head when a Fianna Fail back-bencher called Albert Reynolds introduced the Pro-Life Amendement act as a PMB, which turned into an effective confidence motion, that FitzGerald and his coalition lost.
[12] Much like his immediate predecessor, O'Kennedy was a veteran politician who had mastered the art of being in Europe when things came crashing down in his party (in his case, a stint as European Commisioner that he resigned from out of homesickness), and thus was well-placed to offer a credible pitch to voters as a moral candidate untainted by either abortion apologia, or extremely ill-advised economic experimentation, which was enough to allow for him to cruise into power in the charged 1984 election, which allowed him to pass the very same anti-abortion amendment that toppled FitzGerald, which served as a prologue to an administration that sought to make Ireland a more internationally-competitive economy by way of wide-scale expansion of technical education and apprenticeships, setting up a controversial scheme where foreign countries could take over, or set up new Irish businesses that would maintain (that is nowadays widely seen as the earliest large-scale example of FDI incentivisation in Europe). However, the 1992 election was completely overshadowed by the revelation that his Attorney General, Seamus Graham had been deliberately obstructing investigations into the creative interpretations of multinational accounting that most recognised as offshore tax evasion, and the equally-creative interpretations of anti-corruption legistlation held by nearly every firm using the FDI scheme. These revelations, coupled with an opposition leader promising to take the initiative on both these abuses, and NI, marked the end of O'Kennedy's government.
[13] Barrett's tenure was marked by Ireland having the good fortune to see the start a property bubble immediately after managing to finally broker peace in Northern Ireland by convincing (along with his British counterpart, Micheal Hesseltine) the nationalist and unionist communities of the benefits of the Newry Agreement in 1995. Sadly, while these achievements were much-lauded, the '90s were also a time of bitter infighting within Fine Gael coupled with an oft-tumultuous relationship with their coalition partners in the Labour party, which came to a head in late 1999 when the party split in two over the issue of legalising divorce, coupled with the continuing fallout from 1998's "X" scandal, where a woman pregnant by rape who ended up committing suicide after being denied an abortion; with the breakaway liberal faction leaving to form the Progressive Democrats, and proceeding to split the vote in the snap election that followed.
[14] The Irish Boom having already started under Barrett, Cullen was able to coast on the property bubble, and the public goodwill the resultant wide availability of jobs, money, and new housing brought whomever was sitting in the taoiseach's seat. To give the man some credit though, his government was remarkably pro-business, and bent over backwards to facilitate FDI, and get a steady stream of businessmen to choose Ireland, and avail of the low tax rates, relaxed labour laws and curbed environmental regulations that he had implemented. These same businessmen were also prone to show their gratitude by giving him and his party shedloads of money for no reason; and all collectively jumped ship once the European economy started to tank in 2010, and burst the very bubble Ireland's boom economy was built on.
[15] Once the bubble burst, Ireland proceeded to spend the next 18 months in a state of constantly learning that yes, Suzyn, things can get worse, so in retrospect, it should not have been that great a shock that the policies Frances Fitzgerald would have to implement would not be the kindest to the average person. That said, her government was still far more extreme with its austerity policies than the average person felt she had any right to be, with her controversial reforms of the welfare system making it effectively impossible for anyone to get government assistance, even if they needed it, and the equally controversial partial privatisation of the education system resulting in widespread allegations surrounding the allocation of contracts being less-than-fair and an observable decrease in the quality of the education provided both helped to ensure that her government would only last as long as its majority did, which in the end turned out to only be through to the end of 2015, when enough of the independents her government was dependent upon the support of had been alienated enough to force a no-confidence motion on her, resulting in a Progressive Democrat-led rainbow coalition promising to restore the welfare state of O'Malley to its heyday winning, and an unambiguously left-leaning government to take control of Ireland for the first time in its history.
-------
[16] Widely considered the first activist president, Childers sparred with Cosgrave's government over the ability for a President to spearhead change, set up numerous policy think-tanks, helped to publisice numerous humanitarian causes (most notably campaigning to repeal the death penalty worldwide, and to promote peace between religions; both a direct result of his background) both within Ireland and abroad, traveled widely to further them, and sought to convince the Unionist population of Ireland's being willing to accommodate and respect them. Died in early 1975, shortly after the defeat of Cosgrave's government, and thus removal of his main obstacle to fully transform the Presidency, ironically of a heart attack brought on by exhaustion.
[17] Being unanimously elected to replace her husband, Ms. Dudley, possibly out of blaming it for her husband's premature death, chose to ignore the activist legacy of her husband, instead spending her two terms engaging in critiques of the two main parties' "petty politicking" which she saw as being ignorant of the issues the average Irishman faced. Nonetheless, she was still popular enough to win both terms unopposed, and is broadly well-remembered to this day, in spite of being sandwiched between two of the most popular presidents Ireland has had.
[18] Robinson's upset victory in a bitter three-way election is widely seen as the "true" rebirth of the Presidency that Childers sought to acheive, with Robinson becoming a worldwide advocate of 3rd World debt relief, the rights of women and children, the need for worldwide demilitarisation in the wake of the end of the Cold War (and world peace in general), environmentalism, and continuing Dudley's campaign to "bring politics back to the people" which manifested itself in her personal involvement in numerous charities and foundations back in Ireland dedicated to alleviating poverty and homelessness, helping her (and by extension, Ireland) wield a greatly disproportionate amount of influence on the world stage, that she made sure to never waste. Her post-presidency has been spent largely on working to improve the lives of people in Sub-Saharan Africa, although she is widely expected to become the next UN Secretary-General.
[19] David Norris first came to prominence as the lawyer who struck down Ireland's anti-homosexuality legislation, and as such was seen as a natural successor to Robinson, winning the 2003 presidential election in a walk, and while his presidency was spent campaigning for LGBT+ rights, he ended up resigning in disgrace three years into his term once it emerged that one of his closest advisors, and a personal friend was a prolific child-abuser and operated a human trafficking ring. While he was never personally implicated, Norris has claimed to have resigned largely to avoid any accusations of political pressure.
[20] Crowley's presidency was most remarkable in how unremarkable it was, with the most notable things done by the President being his unintentionally raising awareness of the accessibility problems facing wheelchair users by dint of being one, and his being the last Fianna Fail politician to hold any sort of authority by the time he wisely chose not to seek a second term in 2013.
[21] Originally a widely celebrated broadcaster who was always one to welcome public debates, Byrne's presidency saw him promoting (to the limited extent his prolonged battle with cancer would allow) citizen engagement in both the local community and in politics, as well as defending the need for the state to promote the arts. Sadly, the same cancer that limited his abilities would lead to his becoming only the second president to die in office.

[XFE]

My first try at a list of leaders. It features both monarchs and ministers, though that should change starting next installment--which is why I supposed this was the rigth thread. Shouldn't be that hard to find the inspiration--just be sure not to take this too seriously.

Part 1 - 清初 The Early Qing (1644-1727)

The Qing Empire began as Manchu Warlord Nurhaci's attempt to reunify his people for the first time in 7 centuries. After decades of campaigning in Southern Manchuria against the Ming Emperor and his Korean ally, Nurhaci's descendants defeated both, and his 14th son, Prince Dorgon would lead the victorious Manchu army into the Ming capital in Beijing. The Manchus subjugated China over a span of 2 decades, and soon settled into Beijing as their new capital. Yet, diverging interests between the Guanwai: the Manchu nobles beyond the Great Wall; and the Guannei: the Confucian-educated Han and Manchu bureaucrats within the Great Wall led to incessant political infighting. Add to this the continued independence of the Dongning piratical republic; the Mongol threat, led by Galdan Khan, Temujin reborn; and a series of child emperors, the Qing seems doomed in retrospect.

☴: Exiled

[1]: Prince Dorgon was but 14 when his father, Khan Nurhaci passed away. Dorgon avoided the worst of the subsequent power struggle amongst the Princes, and soon became a political ally of his eighth brother, Hong Taiji. After Hong Taiji's death in 1643, Dorgon found himself the shrewdest political operator in the Qing Empire. Though Qing succession law forbade him from become Emperor, Dorgon soon seized de facto control of the state after a power struggle with his nephews. His ninth nephew, the child-Emperor Shunzhi was later acclaimed Emperor; with Dorgon pulling the strings through the Deliberative Council of Princes and Ministers. Dorgon aggressively attacked the ailing Ming Empire, seizing half of China only 2 years into his "reign", infamously forcing the subjugated Han Chinese to wear Manchu-style queues. For his role in being the conqueror of China, Dorgon had himself declared a posthumous Emperor upon death, only to have this status was revoked months after his unexpected death.

[2]: Emperor Shunzhi took up the reins of power in 1651, and immediately began purging the influences of his uncle Dorgon. Being a steppe people, the Manchus still placed a large degree of martial reverence to their monarch, and Shunzhi wished to prove his martial prowess by attacking Ming Chinese remnants in Burma and Taiwan. Unfortunately, Qing conscripts were bested at every turn in Burma; and the nascent Qing fleed suffered at the hands of Koxinga's pirates [a]. Both campaigns wounded up as costly failures. Sensing weakness, 3 powerful Han Chinese generals took up arms against the Qing in the Rebellion of the 3 Feuditories, and Shunzhi only held onto his throne by the skin of his teeth. All the while, ever the Sinophile, Shunzhi was Scinicizing the Qing state, and attempted to impose Han bureaucratic rule to Manchuria. Shunzhi's tyrannical ways finally led his political enemies, the reactionary Manchu nobles to coalesce into the informal "Guanwai Clique". Shunzhi was ultimately conquered by his sickliness. A wave of smallpox swept through the imperial household in 1654, and Shunzhi was left bedridden towards the end of his reign. The Emperor spent his last days immersed himself in prayer with Shaolin monks, sent by the masters of China. Unbeknownst to the Emperor, the Manchu noble Oboi had revolted in the Rebellion of the 3 Banners. Folk traditions holds that the abbot of the Shaolin monastery withheld news of the rebellion and let the Emperor die in peace.

[3]: Emperor Kangxi was elevated to the throne upon Shunzhi's death, chosen for his immunity to smallpox. The 2-year-old Kangxi was naught but a puppet of the Guannei Loyalists; and would abdicate his throne upon Oboi's victory. Kangxi was granted a pension was sent to guard the imperial clan's ancestral graves in Chengde. His remains a footnote in history, but his hedonistic lifestyle (even though his job required him live frugally) after abdication is a popular subject of pulpy martial arts novels.

[4]: Emperor Xifeng was Shunzhi's youngest (and only surviving) son. Upon the Rebellion of the 3 Banners, Xifeng was acclaimed Emperor in absentia in Shenjing, where the leaders of the 3 Upper Banners [c] had risen in rebellion under the acclaimed general Oboi Gūwalgiya. Oboi had made a secret pact with the capital garrison in Beijing, and faced only token resistance from the 5 Lower Banners in his march South. Soon, he had arrived in the Forbidden City and deposed Emperor Kangxi. Oboi was a moderate, and ultimately saw Scinicizing the Qing state as an inevitability. As regent, he exonerated the late Emperor Shunzhi and retained most of his reforms; all the whilst folding Dorgon's Guanwai Clique into his political organization. Functionally a less radical Shunzhi, the Han Chinese bureaucracy begrudgingly tolerated Oboi, and it seemed that Oboi would heal the nation. Oboi had himself elevated to leader of the Deliberative Council of Princes and Ministers, and was soon so popular that he was offered the position of Grand Councillor; only to refuse the post time and time again. Oboi died of suspicious circumstances in 1657.

[5]: Hooge was Shunzhi's eldest brother, and leader of a hardline faction in the 3 Upper Banners. Hooge had been grooming Oboi as his protege and puppet, but was dissapointed by his moderation. As regent, Hooge disbanded the tenuous political partnership with the 5 Lower Banners and the rump-Guannei loyalists, editing the Imperial Histories to reflect poorly on his brother-emperor. A military genius, Hooge would lead the Qing armies to suppress the many peasant uprisings across Southern and Central China, and made himself so indispensable that the banner military was inseparable from the Qing political apparatus. Hooge soon began distributing fiefdoms to the Gushan Ezhen, commanders-in-chief of the Banner armies. Soon, Hooge ruled through the military and disbanded the Deliberative Council, seeing no use for the organization. There finally came a point when the 5 Lower Banners refused to tolerate Hooge, and overthrew him in a military coup. Hooge was executed for treason, and would be rightgully remembered for his reign of terror and little else.

[6]: Emperor Xifeng took the reins of power on the request of the 5 Lower Banners. Hooge had neglected to groom an heir, and the 3 Upper Banners had no real means of opposing the restoration. Xifeng dismissed the Gushan Ezhen upon his ascension, and worked to separate military from state, reintroducing the Han Chinese bureaucracy. Even more ambitiously, Xifeng declared all 8 Banners to be equal, and named himself Gushan Ezhen of all the Banners. The existing leaders of the 5 Lower Banners though, retained informal influence over their commands, and Xifeng recognized their political influence, declaring the Imperial Household neutral in political infighting. Xifeng was also remembered for his hedonism, in contrast to Hooge's military spartanism, and for this, he was celebrated as a return to normalacy. He was also known for a series of male lovers, to which China, unlike the West had no aversion to. Xifeng famously attempted to name the Chinese Jesuit Michael Alphonsius Shen Fu-Tsung as "Empress", only to be stonewalled by his ministers. Towards the end of his reign, Xifeng reconvened the Deliberative Council, and introduced a political culture of rule-by-consensus. He passed his throne to his son, named Emperor Yuzai.

[7]: Emperor Yuzai was the first instance of a "normal" succession to the Qing throne since Dorgon crossed the Great Wall. Unfortunately, normalcy was not to last. Unlike his father, Yuzai did not maintain the neutrality of the Imperial Household. An open Scinicizer, Yuzai was often seen wearing Han-style robes, and even occasionally tied his hair in a bun, rather than the Manchu queue. This attracted criticism from the reconstituted Guanwai Clique, and moderates in the Guannei. Yuzai abdicated when the forces of Yinti and Sonin, head of the Hešeri Clan marched on Beijing in the Glorious Revolution.

[8]: Emperor Yongzheng, formerly Yinti, Prince Hexianhe of the Second Rank, was a son of Emperor Kangxi. Though his father had been disgraced, Yunti worked his way up the Manchu military hierarchy through sheer stubborn one-mindedness. After saving Emperor Xifeng from a hunting accident, Yunti was granted his noble title and lands to govern. Oftentimes, Yinti's diligence made him even more important in the Qing Government than many first-rank princes, though none in the imperial household saw him as a viable contender for the throne; nor did the newly crowned Prince Hexianhe have such wild ambitions. Still, with Yuzai's 3 sons mad scinicizers all, the Deliberative Council decided to back Hexianhe for the Emperorship. Yongzheng successfully brought together both the Guannei and Guanwai cliques, and was comfortable enough to launch his Glorious Revolution in 1688. His first task would be to defeat the rebellion of the Chahar Khanate, a symptom of the escalating conflict with Galdan Khan's Dzungar Mongols. His pacification of Chahar is still celebrated by Mongol loyalists today. The remainder of Yongzheng's reign would be defined by a 9-year War against the Dzungars, which would end in stalemate.

[9]: Emperor Kunsheng was Yongzheng's eldest son. Unlike his father, he held generally more Conservative views, favouring the Guanwai over the Guannei. Nevertheless, he ensured that the Guannei had a voice in politics, notably by expanding the Deliberative Council into a proper cabinet, with members of both factions taking up different posts--though the Deliberative Council was dominated by Han bureaucrats. It was during Kunsheng's reign that these informal political groupings evolved into proper factions, and the influence of the Banners continuously retreated. Incessant conflicts with the Dzungar Mongols also led to the creation of the Grand Council, a grouping of mainly Manchu military advisors and generals. The two councils were intertwined and equal, and were designed to work in concert. For now, the heads of both Councils tended to be one and the same. Kunsheng, being infertile, died childless in 1707.

[10]: Emperor Linzi, nephew to Emperor Kunsheng, was acclaimed Emperor by both Councils on Kunsheng's recommendation upon his death. Kunsheng believed that China needed time to build up her strength for a final war with the Dzungars--a task which his other nephews were too warmongering to achieve. Both Councils also decided to unify into the Congress for Governance, which would represent all interest groups in the military, bureaucracy, nobility or otherwise. Linzi restored the tradition of Imperial Neutrality, declaring himself above the part politics of the Guanwai and Guannei. Still, Linzi was active in forging an anti-Russian front with Korea and an unlikely (temporary) ally in the Dzungars. Russia later attempted to seize the Amur River Valley for itself, only to be repelled by the Han Chinese general Nian Gengyao, later informal leader of the Congress. In 1719, speculation and bribery in the Lanfang Company [d], a Hakka merchant company in Borneo led to a nation-wide scandal involving nearly all members of Congress. Linzi and his ministers became extremely unpopular, and the reins of power were left to the Emperor's great-uncle, the Minister of Revenue, Yunzhen, Prince Qing of the First Rank. Yunzhen, an able administrator and (unorthodox for a Confucian) early economist, quickly filled the power vacuum, and was appointed Grand Councillor[e], the highest rank in the Chinese bureaucracy.

​

Next Up: The Late Qing

[a]: This is the PoD. Shunzhi plunges the Qing headfirst into conflict despite the Qing's shaky foundations. This alienates Manchu nobles, including Oboi, who was Shunzhi's anti-Dorgon enforcer IOTL.
[d]: Butterflies lead to the Qing adopting Chinese-rite, not Tibetan-rite Buddhism.
[c]: IOTL and ITTL, the 8 Banners, a Manchu social organization held a monopoly on military and political power in the early Qing. A bit like the Janissaries. They were split into the "3 Upper Banners", under the nominal command of the Emperor; and the "5 Lower Banners", under the command of Princes and the Manchu nobles.
[d]: Being less of a land power, and with a more coastal-oriented outlook, China has developed a early capitalist economy by this point.
[e]: This is more significant that it may first seem. The Grand Councillary, essentially China's equivalent of the Prime Minister had been abolished during the Ming Dynasty for being too powerful of a position, able to challenge the authority of the Emperor. Reestablishing this post is a historic shift away from 3 centuries of absolutism.

Are alternate presidential cabinets cool to post here? This is for something i'm working on, hoping others can see what i'm looking for and offer suggestions/alterations. Basically i'm looking for a leftwing, progressive cabinet made up of "outsiders" as well as a broad coalition of respected individuals from across the ideological spectrum. This isn't intended to be a "centrist" government as such, it definitely has a leftward tilt to it as you can probably tell from what I have so far. But moderate Republicans, Independents, and Democrats are all definitely to be found in this cabinet so long as they're capable and display professional integrity.

No problem, really. Part of what I was working on was a left-wing libertarian party, so I might use this as inspiration.
