First wikibox.sorry if it's messy
It would look a lot better if actually done in Wikipedia. Just sign up for an account, copy some code over from the OTL wikibox, edit it your sandbox, use the screenshot extensions in many browsers, and voila!
I did but I copied and pasted it in instead of screen shotting it. It was my first wikibox.
It looks much better with screenshoting, to be honest. Just get an extension for your browser for easy click and drag screenshoting and it's pretty easy.
Is it wrong that instinctively read this in Frank Underwood's voice?
Great concept, though!
Two wikiboxes from an ASB-filled world where Britain was not only Sea Lioned, it was then Sea Bald Eagled with a little help from Uncle Sam. If you know my other work, consider it the 'happy' version of Meet The New Boss.
I was going to do a wiki-esque write-up, in the style of extracts from the respective pages, and may still do so. I do, however, quite like the level of detail that's provided here and left to the imagination respectively. I may simply answer questions if there's interest.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
And of course if Buxton still ends up being the home of the Gilbert and Sullivan festival we can expect some very on the nose settings.

I misread this as Buxom Britain, needless to say I was taken aback.

Orenthal James Simpson, commonly known as O.J. Simpson is an American football player and politician who served as 44th President of the United States from 2009 and 2017. Simpson surprised everyone when he declared his intention to run for the United States Senate succeeding Pete Wilson in 2000. He defeated Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi in the election. However, he was defeated for his re-election bid in 2006 by Congressman Xavier Becerra. After a short absence from politics, Simpson declared his candidacy for the presidency. He was initially second behind frontrunner Rudy Giuliani, but a string of victories in the south gave him the momentum that propelled him to the Republican nomination. In the general election, Simpson defeated Democratic candidate Vice President Howard Dean. Despite Simpson's best efforts to heal the economy, his policies proved unhelpful. The collapse of GM and Chrysler and rising unemployment saw Republicans lose the House in 2010, with Barack Obama becoming Speaker. Simpson seemed set to lose the 2012 election until the 2011 death of Saddam Hussein. The subsequent collapse of the Iraqi government and the start of the Iraqi Civil War led to Simpson sending U.S. troops into Iraq. The war was initially very popular and helped Simpson defeated New York Senator Hillary Clinton in the 2012 election 272-266. However, after the official end of the war, the situation in Iraq became a geopolitical quagmire that Simpson was unequipped to handle. The economy began to suffer again and Simpson began regularly receiving approval ratings lower than 45%. As the nation continued to flounder under Simpson's leadership, he began to privately discuss the idea of resigning. However, Vice President Gilmore firmly refused the President's request, not seeking to be responsible for the mess. During this time, Speaker Obama became exceedingly powerful, controlling domestic agenda through his large majority in the House. Simpson was succeeded by Democrat Donald Trump after the 2016 election. The mess that was Simpson's presidency was recreated by the television show American Crime Story in 2019 for the show's third season: United States v. Simpson.

During the Great War between the Tamrielic Union and the Third Aldmeri Dominion, the Tamrielic Legion withdrew all but the barest of garrisons from Markarth in Skyrim's Reach region. This set off a rebellion by the local Reachmen, with local warlord Madanach, who claimed descent from the earlier Kings of the Reach, declaring The Reach independent. The Jarl of The Reach called upon the Reach Defense Militia of Ulfric Stormcloak to help him retake his lands. Stormcloak's condition for helping was that the Jarl would restore Skyrim's freedom to worship Talos, which was now forbidden under the White-Gold Treaty which ended the Great War. Stormcloak's militia successfully retook the city and violently executed all who were suspected of helping the reachmen, whether or not they actually did. The surviving reachmen retreated into the hills, formed the Provisional Reachmen Free Army, and began a reign of terror against the Province's Nords.
The RFA is claimed to be run by a council in the name of Madanach who was incarcerated by Tamrielic forces at the Cidnha Detention Facility. However some claim that Madanach is running the group from within the prison with the assistance of some benefactor, with some claiming the Thalmor and some the Silver-Blood family.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Markarth, the Aldmeri government discovered the deal the Jarl had made with Stormcloak, and demanded he be imprisoned or they would consider the TU in violation of the treaty. Stormcloak was released from prison in 4E 196, and founded a political party: The Free Skyrim Party, which aimed to remove both Tamrielic and Aldmeri forces from Skyrim. He ran for President of Skyrim in the 199 Election against Torygg Istlodson of the Skyrim Unionist Party, and was narrowly defeated. Stormcloak then challenged Istlodson to a duel and killed him, which while not considered illegal per-se was seen as murder by the Skyrim government, which put a warrant out for his arrest.
Stormcloak then gathered a few of his war buddies and allies from Markarth and formed the Force for a Free Skyrim, also called the Stormcloaks for short. This terrorist organization was dedicated to the removal of the Tamrielic Legion and all Meric influence from the nation. In 201 he was captured by a Tamrielic patrol and was transported to Helgen for execution. Little did forces know that this coincided with the breakout from Fort Neugrad of both test subject Grognar Stonebark and experimental miltiary AI A.L.D.U.I.N. (Artificial Lifeform Dedicated toward Uninterrupted Interface Systems). ALDUIN attacked Helgen and in the chaos, Stormcloak and his supporters managed to escape and return to their campaign of terror...
