The 2002 midterm elections had been good for the democrats. Pickups in Arkansas, Colorado, and New Hampshire more than balanced out their painful loss in Georgia. In the house, they managed to get 9 seats and Dick Gephardt the speaker’s gavel. The gubernational elections were interesting, with...

2002 passed quickly. Europe, growing rapidly, quickly introduced the Euro in January. In March, Bush and Putin signed a nuclear disarmament treaty, the signature success of his first term. The International Criminal Court was established. War swept a dozen countries in Africa. The quagmire that...

A map of the US during the presidency of Nicholas Kohl (R-CA). The republicans are dominant in most states, and indeed nationwide. The democrats are second, followed by the libertarians. After the big three, there's a large gap. The fourth is the confederate party, mainly an alabama party...

The remainder of 2001 was interesting. The 9/18 anthrax attacks killed over a dozen people. Militants attacked in Kashmir. An airline crashed in Queens, killing 259. Pakistani terrorist attacked the Indian parliament, killing 14 and seemingly bringing them to the brink of war. Bush’s...

2001: On a chill January day in Washington D.C, George Walker Bush stepped up to a podium and recited those words that 41 other men had before him. “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability...

Looking at that, it's clear just how out of the blue Scottish Labour losing was. They had carried Scotland for more than fifty years straight, and for more than twenty had won every election by double digit margins. They beat the SNP by 22 points in 2010, and in 2015 the SNP nearly got a...

Yeah, using the scotland results it'd be Con 271, Labour 323, Lib 34, SNP 0.

My very first Wikibox. The Lib dems decide to coalition with Labour instead. As a result, the conservatives have a leadership struggle, which combined with the Labour government leads to a UKIP polling surge that for a few weeks makes it seem like the UKIP will get the second most votes. The...

Why do you have such big discrepancies?

A map I made of five Puerto Rican districts. Five districts, of course. It minimizes county splits, PVI's are even, and it's slightly favorable towards the New Progressive's (the pro-statehood party). The 1st (blue) is .6% white, .1% black, 99.2% hispanic, .1% asian. PD+1, D+20. The 2nd (green)...

Wow.

A few years at most, looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1815_eruption_of_Mount_Tambora#Effects_of_volcanism.

Yeah, that's several mya old.
