Political Parties of the Union of China Unity and Democracy (UnD) The Unity and Democracy Party is a centrist party to an almost comically literal sense of the word. Formed by moderates from the Working People's Party and smaller market liberal parties in 1959, it borrows the market liberalism...

Though victorious in the last Great War, Germany was starved and greatly weakened, falling to a radical socialist revolution led by the Spartacus League and the Front of Socialist and Communist Revolutionaries. The German monarchy and nobility, as well as most wealthy Germans fled to the newly...

Damn, there's a lot of good entries in this round! :cool:

A somewhat last-minute and not very good attempt at an entry. Map depicts the Commonwealth of Poland and the divisions between its various kingdoms, principalities and duchies. Stretching from the Baltic to the Pacific, the Commonwealth of Poland is the largest and most powerful of the...

The Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics (USSR) As part of the reforms of Glastnost and Perestroika, the Soviet government legalized the formation of parties that were, at least formally, opposed to the social and economic programs set out by the Communist Party and had to officially...

One of the main PODs would be that the Nevada Territory is not split from the Utah Territory and and earlier passage passage of the Act in Relation to Service. There would also have to be some push to get more slave-owners in Utah. I'm not very good at writing TLs :o

Malacca has done fairly well under the British and we're probably the second richest region in South-East Asia. The recently signed trade deal with the states of the Malayan Federation should bring in more wealth and prosperity into the country. I'm glad that the PM has given the Straits...

A Malaysian list. Onn Ja'afar's proposition to open UMNO to non-Malays succeeds and the party rebrands itself as the United Malayan National Organisation, retaining the UMNO acronym while throwing open membership to any and all Malayans interested in joining. This leads to MCA and MIC not...
