It sounds like some big peaked-in-the-90s-but-almost-shuttered-now shopping mall in the middle of a decaying Midwestern suburb of a decayed industrial town, or maybe what Flex Plexico calls himself in the mirror.

This is one of the most interesting and well-done infoboxes I've seen. Great job!
Seems to me like this might end up being the start of reverse colonialism. What do Counter-colonialist policies entail, anyway?
A prediction for the Seventh Party System.
That's not really a new party system though, even in the American sense.
Part of it is with the balance of influence and neo-protectionist policies, limiting the import of cultural products and encouraging their export. It also includes examining existing governmental structures and cultural products for colonial influence, and excising that influence if deemed nesecary.

More Trek infoboxes, including the rationale for this sudden infobox kick I've been on, a character mentioned in Star Trek Beyond who would exist in the "prime" timeline.
I modified the taxonomic box to include quadrant and planet of origin and environmental conditions, all things that would concern taxonomists in a universe with plenty of interplanetary migration of species.

James T. Kirk, Benjamin Sisko, Katherine Janeway, Jean-Luc Picard
Spock

Since Edison's transformation into Krall is only discovered by the Federation well into the Kelvin/Abramsverse timeline, I have him as having presumed killed after the Franklin was lost, since that is what Starfleet in both universes believed prior to Beyond.

Little is known about East Germany following the construction of the Greater Anti-Fascist Protective Wall in 1992. Forty meters in height and guarded by armed NVA soldiers, The Wall surrounds the entirety of the country, forming a large ring around the smaller Anti-Fascist Protective Wall that surrounds the entirely of West Berlin. Constructed by comradely Laotian socialist guest workers, it keep unwanted outsiders out of East Germany. More importantly, it keeps the East Germans in, creating a population of hostages which remains the nation's greatest source of leverage in extracting economic and diplomatic concessions from neighboring states. At least until Chairman Krenz can get those nuclear reactors operational.
While an estimated 80% of the East German population --- including the majority of the East German government --- fled during the upheavals of the late 80s and early 90s that brought down the rest of Europe's communist states, few have managed to defect since the construction of The Wall. Erika Jähnke is one of the few known to have made it over. Born in the port city of Rostock, Erika's parents allegedly constructed a trebuchet in their backyard. Once their daughter was eight years old and deemed capable of surviving the flight, they launched her over The Wall in search of a better life. After spending nearly a week adrift in the Baltic Sea, she was picked up by a Danish trawler. Her arrival in Denmark sparked significant controversy, with far right elements violently demonstrating against the possibility of the girl being granted asylum. After spending nearly a month in a maximum security detention facility, Danish courts demanded that she be returned to her homeland. Little is known about Erika's fate, or the fate of her parents, following her arrival in East Berlin aboard a food aid plane.
One East German who managed to successfully defect was Max Granschow. The expanded format of the 2016 European Football Championships allowed the DDR, typically considered one of the minnows of European soccer, to qualify for the tournament. They were minnows in more than one sense of the word, with the average height of their players being five feet tall. Between their manlet status, retro playing style, and even retroer hairstyles, the East Germans won the hearts of spectators, even as they lost all three of their matches. Following the tournament, twelve of the twenty-three players attempted to defect to France. Eleven were caught by eleven of the other players, who were apparently all undercover Stasi agents masquerading as footballers the whole time. But Granschow, the diminutive defensive midfielder, managed to fit himself in a woman's carry-on suitcase and take a train to the city of Angoulême in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Although he was a star in East Germany, Graschow's playing ability disappointed French scouts, leading to suspicion that the midfielder was, in fact, a Stasi agent as well. But, soon after being cleared and granted asylum, local semi-pro club Angoulême CFC took a flyer and signed the mullet-wearing East German in what many supporters considered a cynical bid to sell tickets.

Eh? A Maquis Infobox? Well allright then! *Is pleased as punch by this!*
(But you should include Ro Laren. She was a major Maquis leader as well.)
Ro wasn't, at least canonically. In TNG, she's only seen defecting to the Maquis, not leading a cell.
Actually it's different from what Wikipedia lists as the Sixth Party System, which has states like Virginia and North Carolina as solid red while Illinois, Vermont, New Jersey, and California are evenly split since it goes all the way back to 1968.
Well. I assume Bush had a failure of a presidency and Buchanan does better in the primaries, then launches an independent campaign. For the sake of mathematic expediency, he takes all of his votes from Bush. The swing from Bush to Buchanan isn't universal. The closest states here are Alabama and Indiana.

IMO, a sans-collapse Soviet Union would only make Americans more uneasy about 'muh lunar colonies'. Rivalries run deep.
But really, I pictured it more as the result of a very long and very expensive competition of "Anything you can do I can do better"; Russia puts a man in space, America puts a man on the moon. Russia claims an asteroid, America builds a moon base. Russia claims they'll go to Mars, America beats them to it and aggressively colonises everything so they can't have it. Russia gets a space station, America starts building an EMDrive, so on and so fourth.

I know, I know. It's not canon. Still... *pout*
If I ever get my collective shit together, would you like to do an info-thingy about my Maquis cell?
