Weekly Infobox Challenge: New Challenges & Previous Winners.

DO NOT POST HERE UNLESS YOU ARE THE WEEK'S WINNER

In a theme similar to the Weekly Flag Challenge, I have decided to establish a Weekly Infobox Challenge. Each week, the previous weeks winner shall post a theme challenge, and others submit entries based on that theme.

For the most part, rules and process are the same as the Flag Challenge, but here it is laid out.

Quote:
1: Like the WFC, there are two threads: The first one (Link) for discussion and entries, and the second one here where new challenges (along with the previous weeks winning entry) are posted.


2: When choosing the week's theme, the previous winner CANNOT:
• Chose the same theme as the previous week.
• Limit the eligibility of entrants. For example, you cannot say “only the first 4 entrants will be considered”.

The new challenge is posted in the New Challenges thread, along with the deadline. This should include the date, time and time zone. Each challenge should last a week.

3: Entrants submit their designs in the ‘Discussion & Entries’ thread. The previous winner CANNOT enter their own round. Unless a challenge specifically asks for multiple entries, contestants may only enter ONE entry. If a challenge specifically asks for multiple entries, contestants may only enter ONE set. They are allowed to change their entry as many times as they wish before the closing date. The most recent design posted by a user will be considered to be his/her entry.

4: If the round closes and there are less than two entries, the previous winner is allowed to extend the round by up to 7 more days. If this time has passed and there are still less than two entries, the previous winner is obligated to cancel the current round and start another one.

5: When the contest is over, the previous winner makes a poll thread titled ‘Weekly Infobox Challenge #[round number] voting’. This contains all of the entries but they must be ANONYMOUS and labelled only by number, e.g. “entry 1”, “entry 2”, etc. The previous winner can decide how long the poll is open for. From experience, 3 days is recommended.

6: When the poll is closed, the winner and their flag are posted in the ‘New Challenges & Previous Winners’ thread. The new winner gets to decide the next challenge, and the cycle continues.

7: If there is a tie, a tie breaker poll will be created, and last for on 1 day. If a tie is again reached, then the winners shall negotiate who will create the next challenge.

8: If the winner is unwilling or incapable of making the next challenge, they should notify the person in second-place, who then gets to create the next challenge.
If the second-place person is unwilling or incapable of making the next challenge, the process repeats to the third-place person.

If you please, the new challenge:

North and South Korea, North and South Vietnam, East and West Germany: nations divided by ideology, all of them, at least in part, due to outside forces.

I want an infobox for an independent country along these lines - a country which has been divided from another fundamental part of their nation due to external forces, which has an ideologically different government from the other side.

Only one infobox is required. The only requirements beyond this are that the PoD must be post-1800, and that it not be a country which was actually so divided in such a way (so, no surviving East Germany/South Vietnam infoboxes, please!).

EDIT: Right - deadline will be in one week, 8 November 2013 at 11:59pm.
 
Can the country also be divided in multiple parts? E.g. if there is a Communist, a capitalist, and a Fascist part of a country in some three-way cold war?
 
Civil Disobedience

Your challenge, should you chose to accept it, is this:

You must create an infobox for either a fictional major Civil War, Revolution, or War of Independence (no OTL wars please).

-Preferably being set in alternate nations, but it is not required.

-The final outcome can be anything you want.

-PoD is post-1750.

The entry deadline is one week from now, 25 November 2013 at 11:59pm GMT.

The Tounge of the Times

Your challenge, should you chose to accept it, is this:

You must create an infobox for a language or dialect that never existed.

-The language must belong to an OTL family (Indo-European, etc.)

-The box must have either a picture of where the language is spoken (map), or sample text
 
But the poll currently shows that Parisii's entry is winning - ?????
Please no comments here, but at the time that I checked the poll to determine the winner, that was not the case. I kind of forgot to set the poll to close at a specific time, so just picked the winner a few days after the start of the poll.
 
The Most Honourable Order

The Most Honourable Order

You must create an infobox for either a fictional national order, decoration, or medal.

-Preferably being set in alternate nations, but it is not required.
