Deadlocked the Electoral College as La Follette/Fraizer on Medium in the Harding Lives game, and it's giving me ideas for a TL where the Progressives evolve into a coherent force...
Yeah you're probably right about that. If nothing else it'd be good to see them get more sequels than just Nuts & Bolts and Zero, and for what sequels they do get to be playable on more consoles. Plus if they collaborated with Sledgehammer, they might help improve the CoD games that studio...
People often ask 'what if Nintendo had bought Rare instead of Microsoft?' and while I think it's an interesting topic, I felt like going for a bit of a different scenario besides the two people always talk about, Nintendo making Rare a subsidiary and what actually happened.
Apparently...
I made a new thing for my Czechoslovakia TL!
The Bohemian National Council had originally been considered under the First Czechoslovak Republic, but it wasn’t formed as an independent legislature for Bohemia until late 1982, when the first Havel government divided the Czech National Council...
Primakov trying to negotiate with Saddam to prevent war literally happened when he was a foreign minister under Putin in OTL and didn't work out because Saddam thought he was untouchable. With him relying on an uneasy coalition of fairly Atlanticist conservatives and liberals and the Communists...
Putin His Place: Part 2
The day before the first round of the 1999 Russian presidential election, Chechen fighters had launched an incursion into the Russian-controlled Republic of Dagestan. President Primakov had authorised a decisive counterattack, which Unity leader Sergei Shoigu and...

The famously turbulent first decade of the Russian Federation ended with the...
Yeah, the East getting subsumed into the Eastern Bloc was only partly because the USSR got there first and ran the occupation zone, it was also part of the sociopolitical state of the region at the time. A lot of it was heavily industrialised, indifferent to religion and/or working-class, so...
Jeju as like a Korean Taiwan is weirdly funny to me. It's not that unrealistic ofc, but it'd be like if Britain had a communist takeover and the government fled to the Isle of Wight.
Since the 1963 election is fairly dull, I decided to do the next wikibox of my Japan TL on Kōno’s party and skip to 1966 instead.
The Constitutional Liberal Party (CLP, known in Japanese as the政友会, Seiyukai) , was a liberal-conservative party in Japan. It effectively operated as the personal...
I haven't done any election wikiboxes in aaaages, but I've finally given myself the kick up the arse to do a little research into postwar Japanese politics and I think I've come up with something!
The 1960 Japanese election is widely seen in hindsight as continuing to set the ‘1958 System’...
