I know where Nazi Space Spy got that map: VT45 also did a New England infobox series (here's an example).

Also, does New England use FPTP? Because if it does, I can't imagine a six-party system like this continuing for very long.

It's interesting to see two different approaches. For one, North Vermont in CT's example went left Labor while in VT's it went centrist Progressive. Is it just anti-establishment in general?

Regarding the voting system...umm...

Thought the map looked familiar. Anyways it serves my needs, so I shall suck the usefulness from it and discard the empty husk afterwards.

Basically, yes.

My gut says something about consuming the life-force of luckless slaves.

(AUSA New York 1920s)

The 1920s, the era of America Unlimited, Prime Minister Charles Curtis' "Men, Money and Markets" scheme and reckless debt-creating!

A glorious time!

And for New York, it was a transformative time.

After Premier Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (known as the "Colossus of the Hudson" to many) died in early 1919, replaced by James Wadsworth, Jr., it was clear that the landslide majority for the Nationalists was going to go down. Wadsworth estimated a 30-seat loss and a bare Nationalist majority. He underestimated.

Just like in many other states, the Country Party gained due to the rural areas' discontent with the urban establishment. James Wadsworth may be rural himself, but the Country Party viewed him as no better than the other politicians in New York City. The state waited to see the Country Party's decision on who to coalition with. They waited and waited... The Country Party, led by former Laborite James Mead, decided to be aloof and wait for the Nationalists and Labor to grow more desperate. In the end, no coalition deal could be found to craft a majority and so the Governor called for Al Smith, the leader of the biggest party in the Assembly to become Premier of New York and to lead the state's first-ever Labor government.

In the end, the Country Party's tactics worked with new Nationalist leader Nathan L. Miller, who capitulated more than he would have otherwise. Smith found himself back in Opposition barely three weeks in his ministry. The Miller-Mead Ministry proved fairly average, and after three years, Miller called a new election, confident of new gains.

He was mistaken, as left-Country voters switched to Labor, who was making an effort to reach out to rural areas, which paid off as Labor won 3 rural seats. Meanwhile several "Country Independents" (recently broken off from the state Country Party) won re-election.

With Miller's position weakened, Mead used this opportunity to draw more concessions from the Premier, and in in the news, Miller was often portrayed as a puppet of Mead, leading a "Country ministry with a Nationalist face". This undermined confidence in the Miller-Mead Ministry. When 1927 came, the betters were betting on Labor and Al Smith to return to power.

It proved surprisingly close, with Labor only pulling off a bare majority of two. However, with moderate Nationalists and "agrarian socialist" Countrypeople, Smith managed to get through a lot of Labor-planned reforms that Labor planned to do when they had their first, brief, ministry.

With this radical reforming reputation in hand, Smith decided to call a new election early, hoping that he could profit from this.

With Nathan L. Miller leading the Coalition in his final election, Smith managed to increase his majority. Labor looked unstoppable and becoming the dominant party of New York State, with only gains since 1916. Even Country was thinking that they might have made the wrong choice.

And then something happened in October that turned the whole thing on its head.

Now, I really would like some comments on this. Even if it's just a "good work" one.

OK. These and the Alabama one you put up a couple of days ago seem like you're just transposing Australian politics to the United States. You even have three-year parliamentary terms, IRV and parties with the exact same names as their Australian counterparts.

OK. These and the Alabama one you put up a couple of days ago seem like you're just transposing Australian politics to the United States. You even have three-year parliamentary terms, IRV and parties with the exact same names as their Australian counterparts.

Not exactly. There's no real fixed parliamentary terms. Three years are customary. Five years is the longest any state have pushed it.

And it's not IRV. New York doesn't have IRV. Alabama does, though.

And yes, exact same names of the parties. However, it's not the exact same parties. Labor's more New Deal-ish than anything actually socialist.

I have to admit, the federal level is a copypasta of Australia, but the state level is wildly different. It's not copying and pasting Australia politics on America.

It's taking the general outline of Australian politics, filling it up with America and seeing how it goes.

It could be said to be a loose analogue. However, I have genuinely put work and effort in coming up with ideas.

Immortal Wizard Calhoun is best Calhoun.

 

[Georgepatton]

Immortal Wizard Calhoun is best Calhoun.

Speaking of which...

I extended his life to December 14, 1865, and then added his OTL life-span to 1850 on top of that, and came up with his new 'death' date.

I don't know much about him, or how magic 'happened' or whatever, but his resignation from the Senate here happens one day after the OTL Preston Brooks canning of Charles Sumner, so maybe Calhoun was at the Senate that day, and did something magical? Who knows.

 

[Archangel Michael]

Calhoun is the Wizard in the Mountain who will return when South Carolina needs him the most

 

[Turquoise Blue]

OK, here's the New York elections of 2009 and 2013 in AUSA. The New York Democratic Party is a fusion of the Liberal and Country parties.

General outline: The Democrats has been in power since 1997 and most of that under George Pataki. The guy stepped down in 2006 and after a fairly contentious leadership election between Rick Lazio and his conservative challenger Carl Paladino, Lazio won out.

However, in the 2007 election, Lazio's majority was worn down to an two-seat majority. After Paladino's conservatives decided to bring down Lazio's government by voting with Labor, a new election was called for 2009 (normally it would be 2010).

The Green Party narrowly held their two Assembly seats in 2007, would find Rivera's "it's the Dems or us" campaign severely harmful to them as many Green voters switched to the ALP. They lost one of their seats to the ALP and held their other seat (represented by their leader Howie Hawkins) by the narrowest of margins.

Voter fatigue with the Democrats enabled Labor to take a landslide majority.

By 2013, the national situation was not favorable to the NYDP as Rick Perry proved very much unpopular with many "red" states. Rivera's government was very much middle-of-the-road Laborite, nothing shockingly new or revolutionary. The Democrats was continuously on the offensive, with new leader Joseph DioGuardi promising a "relentless attack" on the ALP government.

This started to work as Labor went down in the polls, but Hurricane Sandy gave Rivera the best opportunity to prove himself a good leader in a time of crisis, and this made New Yorkers look upon his government more favorably.

The election was held in April 2013, specifically chosen so that it was seen as not exploiting Hurricane Sandy for political gain, but not too late for the actual political gain to vanish. Rivera knew he would lose seats, his landslide majority was hard to replicate, but in the end, he managed to lose only a few seats, but gained the last Green seat in the Assembly as Howie Hawkins struggled to defend his seat against a concerted Labor strategy to end the Greens as a political threat.

 

[True Grit]

An idea that randomly popped into my head. Set in the Breaking Bad universe, if things went a bit differently for Walter White.



Hank Schrader is, as of January 1, 2030, the current Governor of New Mexico. Formerly a member of the United States senate, Schrader, a former DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent, achieved international fame following his capture of the drug-lord "Heisenberg," who turned out to be none other than his own brother-in-law, Walter White. His pursuit of justice, despite the familial ties, led many to hail him as a hero, despite some criticism for failing to detect White's crimes earlier.

Riding off this fame, Schrader quickly worked his way up the DEA, and in 2017 was named Administrator of the DEA by President Hillary Clinton. However, his relationship with the Clinton administration was problematic, and he resigned in 2020 to run for Senate, successfully winning the election following a strong law-and-order, anti-crime campaign. While Schrader, because of his prior fame, quickly became a prominent senator, he soon grew tired of the Senate, finding it too slow-moving. While Schrader considered retiring from politics altogether, he was convinced to run for Governor of New Mexico in 2026, feeling that his brand of leadership would be much more suited in the executive branch of government. Elected in 2026 and re-elected in 2030, Schrader is considered a front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2032, and polls show him leading potential Democratic opponents, though he has remained coy about his intentions.

I'm intrigued by this series of infoboxes. What's the backstory?

You've mentioned a war of secession against the British crown, and Alabam joining the UASR (whatever that is) in the 1880s. And you imply that American Federation happened in the early 1900s.

I'm guessing that the POD (such as it is) happened during the American Revolution, but why did it take so long to federate Britain's American colonies? And what happened throughout the 19th century to cause the secession of states to the UASR?
