"The Great Other is dead. Can you not smell his rotting corpse? It is a most wonderful fragrance."

Devan Seaworth, 2nd Lord Rainwood (19th 3rd Moon 287 - 27 9th moon 368) was a Westerosi statesman, theologian, and solider. The son of the Hand of the King, Devan began assisting his father with his duties quickly learning the art of statecraft. When his father died suddenly in 326 Queen Shireen appointed him as his successor. Despite some differences in opinions on how the country ought to be run Devan and Shireen quickly developed an effective working relationship and soon became her most trusted advisor.

Governing the country under the motto of one God, one Realm, one Queen, Devan pursed policies that aggrandized the power of the crown while simultaneously promoting R'hllorism as the state religion.

In the midst of the Great Awakening which saw millions of Westerosi convert to R'hllorism, Devan promoted changes to the Church-in-Westeros that converted it from the congregationalist form popular in Essos to a presbyterian system that would be more conducive to state control. At his request Devan was invested as Prester Primus of Westeros, making him (de facto) head of the Church-in-Westeros. In his capacity as chief prelate he undertook sweeping theological reforms that would better adapt it to the cultural milieu of Westeros. These innovations include: the banning of temple slavery and prostitution, a universal priesthood open to anyone, permitting the clergy to marry, banning and proscription of human sacrifice, and an emphasis on preterist interpretation in pyromancy.

William Jennings Bryan was the 25th President of the United States, serving from 1901 to 1917, a period that became known to American history as the Brya Era. The First democrat elected president since William Rosecrans in 1884, and the first president to be re-elected since Andrew Jackson in 1832, Bryan broke the Republican control of the White House that had endured almost throughout the entire Reconstruction Era. His campaign in 1900 was a populist one, focused on combating the excesses of the Gilded Age and passing labor legislation to ensure better living and work conditions for factory workers and farmers alike. His campaign, though highly popular, faced an uphill battle against an administration that had ensured an strong economy. The Republican President Robert Todd Lincoln was highly popular, and his backing of Thomas Reed gave much sway to the GOP. Still, Reed fumbled constantly on the campaign trail, proving a mediocre public orator when large crowds were gathered (in contrast to his dominion of the Congress floor). Republican inertial, seeing the election as simply a formality to ensure their candidate's ascension by that point, also proved a factor. In the end Bryan prevailed over a very slim margin, securing the traditional Democratic Stronghold of the West Coast as well as New York, but losing to the Republican solid south.
The Bryan Era was marked by the improvement of life for the working class and for an arduous campaign against big businesses. Bryan would prove a highly bipartisan president, cooperating with fellow progressive Republicans such as Theodore Roosevelt to conduct trust busts. Bryan would pursue a policy of Isolationism, criticizing European powers for their imperialism and keeping the United States out of WWI.
Was inauguration day changed from March 4th to March 5th? And the wikibox says Bryan was inaugurated in March 1900 when it should be 1901.

Ross Geller was an American Serial Killer who murdered over 20 confirmed individuals in a 10 year period between 1994-2004. Nicknamed the "Dinosaur Killer" by the media, due to the small dinosaur toys he left with each victim, Geller terrorized New York City over the 90s and 2000s, and is regarded as one of America's most famous serial killers.
Geller's killings were seemingly sparked by his reunion with a teenage infatuation of his, Rachel Green, in 1994, the same year his wife Carol Simmons divorced him. His inability to maintain a relationship either with Carol or Rachel served as an emotional catalyst for Ross to conduct his first murder spree. He would send multiple letter's to the newspapers under the alias Marcel, stating "You cannot catch, me, I have Unagi".
The killings subsumed around late 1997, the same time Geller met and quickly became engaged to Emily Waltham. The two eventually married but divorced in 1999. The same year, Geller's superior in the New York Museum of Natural History, David Ledbetter ate one of his sandwiches, and the event, coupled with the divorce, triggered another killing spree, one which included Dr. Ledbetter himself.
In 2003, Geller's girlfriend, Charlie Wheeler broke up with him to reunite with her former lover, Nobel Prize winner Benjamin Hobart. The couple were believed to have eloped after their reunion, however authorities highly suspect that Geller had both killed in response.
In 2004 Geller got back together with Rachel Greene. The following year his friend, actor Joey Tribianni, himself an old flame of Rachel's, went missing. Geller claimed that Tribianni had gone to L.A. to pursue a career on Hollywood, but the actor was never seen again. Geller was eventually arrested for the murder of Tribianni and 4 other killings.
In prison, Geller proclaimed that he was driven to kill by a force that made him superhuman he called "Unagi". Geller was found guilty of 5 murders and executed January 24, 2007.​
Please make a follow up wiki box for Joey

So apparently Nixon tried to set up his daughter with the Prince of Wales during the latter's visit to the White House. He found her to be "plastic and artificial," and obviously this never went anywhere, but the idea of the daughter of the U.S. President marrying the Prince of Wales was too interesting to not at least make a simple infobox of Prince Charles ITTL.

I don't know if it's blasphemous for me to be making an infobox of the Prince of Wales on July 4, but now the future Kings of the United Kingdom will be descended from a U.S. President so I figured it evens out.
I know this is from 3 months ago but it would be crazy for the current Queen Consort to be Tricky Dick's daughter.
 
2 It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Spinoff Ideas:

It’s Always Sweaty in Vietnam is a 2024 miniseries that is a prequel spinoff of the long-running series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The miniseries, advertised as a “special,” consists of 5 double-length (40-minute) episodes covering the “pre-gang” years of Frank Reynolds’s life in Vietnam during the mid-to-late 1990s. Reynolds, working in “the business of making money,” manages multiple illegal enterprises and misadventures across the Asian nation of Vietnam, which feature incidents of human trafficking, inhumane sweatshops, gambling, wage theft, slavery, drug trafficking, child endangerment, cannibalism, the killing of endangered species, and numerous human rights abuses. Several episodes concern him protecting his wife Barbara and his children Dennis and Deandra (but mostly just himself) from vengeful former business partners, pimps, dealers, mistresses, and the authorities. Reynolds usually gets his comeuppance in the end but always fails to learn his lesson and launches a new scheme in the next episode. This semi-syndicated series is noteworthy for the actor portraying Reynolds (Danny DeVito, who was 79 years old at the time) appearing as a younger version of the character throughout the series in makeup and a cheap-looking wig instead of through CGI de-aging technology for comedic effect. The series received positive reviews from most fans of I.A.S.I.P. but was banned in Vietnam for certain “offensive” jokes.

There’s Always Dennis in Dakota is a 2025 miniseries that is a spinoff of the long-running series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Dennis Reynolds, a main character from I.A.S.I.P., fathered a son (Brian LeFevre Jr., b. 2016) with a stranger and spent the period between Seasons 12 and 13 living in North Dakota. This miniseries reveals that ever since then, Dennis (portrayed by Glen Howerton) spends every summer, some winters, and some holidays in Bismarck, North Dakota with his son (portrayed by Jaxon and Lucas Korossy) to be a better father to his own son than his own father was to him. In the pilot episode, Dennis initially despises North Dakota, calling it a “barren wasteland unfit for and unworthy of golden gods,” and yearns for the more urban landscape of Philadelphia. He also quickly grows jealous of his son’s mother’s boyfriend (with Christine Woods portraying Mandy, Brian Jr.’s mother) and the “thin selection of acceptable love partners [for himself]” in town. However, he is soon drawn to a local bar, The Busy-Mark, due to its patrons/owners being seemingly gullible and manipulative. Dennis soon joins their "crew," who he dubs his “backup gang,” and immediately begins efforts to take over as their new "leader." Over the course of the series, though, the Backup Gang surprise Dennis with their potential for both wholesomeness (such as helping Dennis bond with his 9-year-old son by training him in a winter sport his son enjoys) and carnage (getting Dennis into illegal get-rich-quick schemes such a smuggling things across the Canadian border, taking hostages, and robbing banks), with both aspects often overlapping (such as helping the son with a school project to use said project to spy on people or helping to rebuild a local building to plant evidence against an inquisitive sheriff (played by Brendan Fraser)). The miniseries, which is only indirectly alluded to in the regular I.A.S.I.P. series, is noted for “expertly humanizing” the Dennis character “while also exploring, instead of dismissing, his sociopathic proclivities.” The miniseries lasted for one season of 12 episodes, despite positive reviews from critics and audiences, because Howerton, who also produced the series, decided to end the series out of concern that the material would become “stale and repetitive” if the series continued, and due to Howerton wanting to pursue other projects "outside the Sunny Universe"; this led to the miniseries often being described as I.A.S.I.P.’s “twisted” answer to “Fawlty Towers.”
 
In retrospect that was some interesting timing for me to make that post. Perhaps I'll need to make a sequel post at some point.
Would need to find a semi-recent picture of Tricia Nixon in order to do a post on her. Would be pretty hard since she's living a quiet life in New York atm.

Edit: Or you could just use FaceApp to age up her official picture from the 1970s but I'm not too sure on whether it would be that accurate or not.

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, 1st Duke of Havana 1926 – 25 November 2016), was an American statesman and politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Provinces and Leader of the Labour Party from 1976 to 1981. Castro, the first Cuban to serve in the cabinet as Secretary of State for Labour from 1961 to 1968 under John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey, was a leading figure of the Progressive Wing of the Labour Party from the 1950s onward.

Born in Birán, the son of a wealthy Spanish farmer, Castro joined the newly formed Labour Party while studying law at the University of Havana after having served in Second World War in the Pacific theatre. Aligning himself with members of the former Progressive Party, Castro quickly became a leading figure of the party in deeply conservative Cuba. In 1952 he was nominated as the Labour candidate for the Seat of South Havana and narrowly won, beating out two-term incumbent Conservative Gonzalo Güell.

Appointed in 1961 as Secretary of State for Labour to replace Samuel K. McConnell Jr., who had proven far too right-wing for Kennedy's liking, Castro seized control of Labour policy in the United Provinces, advocating unionisation of Labour, higher wages, and worker-owned companies. It is rumoured that Kennedy intended to remove Castro after his return from Dallas, which has been the subject of several conspiracy theories. However, Castro, who deeply respected Kennedy, has always denied these allegations. He even assaulted a reporter in 1998 for bringing up the topic in a live interview and referred to it as an "Unacceptable slight" Castro would continue as Labour Secretary until 1968, when the Labour party lost power and following the retirement of Lyndon B. Johnson in 1971 after a stroke, was elected Leader of the Labour Party, becoming Prime Minister after Labout narrowly won the 1976 election.

His term as Prime Minister is considered the most socialist era in American history. Despite his thin majority in the Parliament, Castro could whip all MPs into line in almost every vote. He introduced socialised healthcare with the American Health Service, greatly expanded the welfare state, and increased taxes on the wealthiest Americans to fund his social programs. His shock defeat in the 1981 general election is often blamed partly on the conservative backlash to the speed of these reforms and Nixon's promise to leave the popular AHS alone if elected.

Following his resignation as leader of the party, Castro returned to the back benches before retiring from the house. Rejecting the traditional offer of a hereditary peerage, an Earldom, he sought election as a representative peer for Cuba. After his victory, he was granted a life peerage in order to serve. In 1999, Prime Minister Jerry Brown, who saw Castro as a political hero, asked King Henry IX to create Castro Duke of Havana, the first non-royal hereditary Dukedom in 40 years. Castro accepted, though he would continue to serve in the lords under his life peerage until his retirement in 2010, where he declined to take up membership in the house as Duke of Havana.

A polarising figure in American politics, he has scored well in historical rankings of Prime Ministers due in part to his ability to lay out and execute an agenda. He remains an icon of the Labour Party.

The Democrats are not as progressive when it comes to race relations as the Republicans by 1900, but still miles ahead of the Democrats IOTL. With the Republicans dominating the south during Reconstruction (the Iron-clad pledge prohibited any former member of the CSA government or military from voting), the Dems were electorally destroyed down there, and the northern faction of the party abandoned race baiting and "state rights" from its platform by 1880.
Even though the GOP dominates in the South, Bryan is surprisingly popular among African Americans there (given as they're mostly farmers and Bryan's policies are meant to improve the lives of farmers and factory workers).

“I was there, in Vienna, on the last day of the war. On the Bridge of the Tantavian, watching the Allied war fleets devastate the Hapsburg capital. All the opera houses and fine museums, all the factories and people burning, one hundred Austrian ships on fire.”
– Roger Duroc, veteran of the English Air Service, on the Battle of Vienna September 13th, 1922

Was inauguration day changed from March 4th to March 5th? And the wikibox says Bryan was inaugurated in March 1900 when it should be 1901.
If March 4 fell on a Sunday, the inauguration was postponed to the 5th (this led to both David Rice Atchison's apocryphal one-day presidency and the similar but lesser known day where two men- Grant and Hayes- were both supposedly president at the same time); March 4 fell on a Sunday in both 1900 and 1917, so assuming the years are correct, that's actually the right date.
