Yep! Zionism was less prevalent ITTL so Israel was never founded, therefore his family kept their original surname and ended up in the United States

Lets just pretend this is an alt-universe Chris Addison who looks eerily like Alex Turner
In my mind Holly Walsh, being blonde, attractive and naturally very funny, would work as a British Penny any day.
I dunno, I like the idea of Aisling Bea as Bernadette, seeing as how both have noticeable voices.
The SCC (Southern Cable Corporation), established in 1931 as the "Southern Broadcasting Association" is the oldest news broadcaster in the Confederate States, and it continues to be one of the most important in the country, alongside Dixie News and APS News. Described as "mostly center-left and notoriously liberal", it has long supported the Liberal Party, while being accused of being hostile towards the conservative, right-wing Patriot Party.
The 2019 Patriot primaries saw a four-way race between Alabama Governor Roy Moore, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Texas Representative Beto O'Rourke, and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Considered the favorite for the nomination, Cruz performed poorly in the 1st Patriot Debate, held in New Orleans, and later failed to win the critical Texas primary on 17 February. Three days later, he officially dropped out. O'Rourke came out with force, winning Texas, Arkansas, Sequoyah, and Chihuahua. Despite a slow start, Moore managed to steal Virginia after a remarkable performance in the 2nd Patriot Debate, which took place in Atlanta. Moore took the lead on Super Friday, when he won Alabama, North Carolina, Louisiana, and Tennessee, while O'Rourke only won Kentucky and Cuba and Haley took nothing. On 2 March, the day after Super Friday, Haley dropped out.
Florida, historically deemed as "the defining primary", was held on 17 April. Many expected O'Rourke to win; however, an aggressive electoral campaign by Moore coupled with O'Rourke's controversial statements regarding Cuban-Confederates led to one of the greatest primary wins in the state's history. Seen here is a SCC piece on the event, including alleged remarks made by former candidate Cruz.

Warring Libya - Northern Front / The Mediterranean
Introduction

As the mainstream media erodes to the eyes of many, a new generational wave begins to seek their sights beyond the umbrella of powerful corporations and start anew. Young aspiring journalists formed their own news outlets to express their interest and passion without the interference from editors and moguls. In turn, newsletters and journalistic blogs begin to emerge from a scene, clamored by folks of many backgrounds and thoughts ready to be heard. Michel Aronowitz - a veteran journalist in West Asia, coined this new phase as the Golden Age of Journalism.
And eventually, some of them will focus on the Warring State of Libya, using their sources and intuition to report on the matters that engulfed in the Third Civil War. One of them is two particular news and editorial websites: the Northern Front and The Mediterranean. Both curated by a youthful flock interested in the conflict and intend to keep the situation in check until it either wanes down into an eventual peace or ends in a violent triumph...

500-yen Coin of Laodongquan
The Laodongquan (literally: 'Labor Notes'; abbreviated UPY; symbol:¥・円・元・원) is the official currency of People's Republics Union and one of the world's major reserve currencies. The yen is the basic unit of the Laodongquan, but is also used to refer to the Union currency generally, especially in international contexts where "Union yen" is widely used to refer to the Laodongquan.
Yen derives from the Japanese word 圓 (えん, en, lit. "round"), which borrows its phonetic reading from Chinese yuan similar to Korean won. During period of Dadong Empire, Imperial Yen was commonly used and the word "Yen" has been widely absorbed into different East Asian languages.
The subunit of Laodongquan is called "Sen" (from Japanese word 銭)。 Coins were followed Imperial standard introduced in 1870. There were silver 5-, 10-, 20-, 50- sen, and 100-, 200-, 500- yen. The coins of Laodongquan share the front with the same design: year of issue, value of coin and name of People's Republics Union written in Chinese characters(人民共和国联盟).
The back of coins share some similar elements: Anglo-French name of Union(Union des Républiques de Peuple). And the top word and center image will change its scripts according to the country of issue, for example, there will be Korean "인민 공화국 연합" and map of Korean Peninsula in a 500-yen coin issued by Korea.
Awesome design, awesome idea. Just a small French speaker nitpick : depending on what you try to convey, it can be "populaire" like in People's Republic, "du Peuple" meaning of the people (with only one united people), or "des Peuples" (same meaning as"du Peuple" but insists on the fact that there are several people, because it becomes plural.
On July 14th, 2025, TIME has published its first debut approaching the matters of China and the subsequent consequences of the Battle of the Spratlys. Despite receiving a few appraisals from a handful of people, it was met with massive controversy. People are split on how they felt on the discussion itself: while some experts of international politics and few echelons of the U.S Military have praised it for being the only centerpiece tackling an otherwise taboo subject, it faced a bipartisan backlash from both spectrum of the United States, some activist alleged the piece for fear-mongering and implicit Orientalism.

Sustain Dietary Supplements are manufactured by the Luna-based pharmaceutical company Diri Pty. Ltd., and it is easily their most popular product, accounting for two thirds of revenue. The product itself is a combination of several anorectics including phenmetrazine, benfluorex, topiramate, as well as stimulants including caffeine and cathinone. Initially intended for purchase by long shift workers in anaerobic environments, it is better known as a drug of abuse among those with eating disorders and the poor. It is considered highly addictive and has been banned in a number of jurisdictions, but can be found in space elevators and freeports that orbit any heavenly body of note, making it difficult to regulate.
Just so you know, "Union des Républiques de Peuple" would translate as something like "Union of the Republics of People" and would sound quite odd to a francophone. A better translation of "People's Republics Union " would be "Union des Républiques Populaires".
