Nice try. But Hong Kongers simply don't use Chinese pinyin. We use Cantonese to pronounce and romanise our names. For example, my surname is 郭, and it should be "Guo" using Chinese pinyin. But on my birth certificate, HK ID Card and British passport, it would become "Kwok" - which is exactly how 郭 is pronounced in Cantonese.
With the PRC devastated by the Dactyl Rot, the democrats of Hong Kong made their move. Months of pro-referendum protest surged through the summer of 2040, demanding an independence referendum be presented to the city. With dissolution of the communist party and the beginning of controlled decommunization, the interim administration simply had too much on their hands to bring Hong Kong back in line. In lat 2040, talks between the interim government, pro-democracy leaders in Hong Kong and the Taiwanese government led to a compromise. Both Taiwan and Hong Kong would be free to hold independence referendums, which the PRC would properly recognize. Both referendums passed with flying colors the next year.
While this would end the "mainland problem" for quite a while, it was not too long before the PRC began to exert its influence over its former territories. The signing of the Pan-Chinese Transit Agreement was the first step. Agreed to in 2046, it cleared up the situation for PRC and Hong Kong citizens living abroad, and allowed for easier movement between the three countries. The 2049 Goods Inspection Treaty would be next. Designed to formalize anti-Dactyl Rot quarantine and handling procedures, it also limited tariffs between the countries and served as a framework for future agreements. With agreement after agreement, bringing the countries closer together, many Hong Kong citizens became concerned. There was the fear that if this path was not halted, that the city would once again be subservient to the PRC in all but name.
The Hong Kong localist/nativist movement had predated the independence referendum for quite sometime. While they had remained a minor force in Hong Kong politics, with some of the larger groups merging in 2031, the fears of PRC dominion began to increase their support. Having undergone some rebranding, the new natvist party of Above All portrayed itself as the umbrella revolution. For the nativists, Hong Kong could only be free when it asserted its culture and forced agreements on its own terms. In the '50s, Above All joined the growing Asian municipalist movement. The nativists had long been committed to traditionalism and direct democracy, and the participism of the Muncipalists was only an intensified version of their ideology. While the party is popular among the public, their poor results in the industry-elected functional constituencies have limited their ability to take power. Thus, Above All is also at the heart of the anti-functionalist movement, which they see as a way to bring actual democracy to Hong Kong.

Good work! It must have taken a while to write a full article like that.
Realised I haven't done an US presidential election infobox in a while, so decided to whip this one up.
This is from my "Fictional Politicians: An excuse to make weird-ass electoral maps" thing I did.
And here's a backstory, because a wikibox to me is a bit pants without a story to go with it.
Rosabel Garcia's presidency has been somewhat of a success, with her "New Democracy" programs being reasonably popular. Still, the Democrats lost the suburbs to the Republicans in the 2014 midterms as the wealthy-ish middle-class turned against what they saw as a "radical" president. Some worry that the Garcia coalition of the unionised working-class, Hispanics and African-Americans won't be able to hold up in 2016 without the middle-class.
In this worry, Evelyn Frost the Secretary of the Interior announced her run. It wasn't unexpected as she was talked up as a possible candidate in 2008 before endorsing Garcia. But what was unexpected was the announcement of a little-known Senator from Colorado that he was running too, and explicitly against the "economically-focused" establishment. Running on a very socially-liberal platform, Senator Darren Taylor rapidly grew in support especially with the youth and the more liberal-inclined middle-class.
Winning in Oregon, he became a real threat to the expected coronation of Frost, but his lack of support with the unions was what doomed him to defeat. Mindful of the primaries, Frost chose Governor Miller of Virginia a moderate liberal with some views similar to Taylor. Virginia was going towards the Democrats thanks to the growing urban population but the Senate election in 2014 was a Republican landslide.
Meanwhile on the Republican side they were wary of nominating an extremist after they nominated a fiery demagogue in Governor Elizabeth Quinn of Mississippi in 2012 and she lost in a landslide to President Garcia. Despite some candidates coming close at times in the polls, "moderate maverick" Governor Alf Kennedy of Arizona was mostly never in doubt to win it as he consistently led polls and won most states in the primaries. Nominating Senator Nikki McCarthy of Iowa as a sop to the conservatives, he set out on the campaign trail.
The election was dubbed "a choice of which was the better of two goods". Frost was popular beyond her career because she was the First Daughter of her father's administration. Many could remember the prosperity and stability of the 1990s and Frost was only too happy to remind them of that, which turned off the more socially-liberal youth [the "Taylorites"] who saw Michael Frost as the epitome of the "Labor Democrats" - union men who willingly compromised on social issues. Recognising this, Frost decided to charge Miller with keeping the youth on side.
Meanwhile Governor Kennedy kept up his "maverick" reputation on the campaign trail which very much pleased moderates. Reminding people of his good reputation with the Hispanic community and campaigning in California [a former Republican state that many thought was now permanently Democratic], he frustated his running mate and conservative Republicans. But as they say "Democrats fall in love, but Republicans fall in line" and the GOP wanted to stop Garcia's "socialism" at all costs.
On election night, Kennedy performed well with the youth and the middle-class [although Frost won both, the earlier by 20 points, the latter barely] and flipped California back to the GOP against all expectations. He won the popular vote by four hundred thousand votes. But it wasn't enough. Frost won 272 electoral votes and was set to be inaugurated as President.

Based off a friend's map.
The Confederates resisted the power of the Union and stayed independent. A large amount of Native Americans was transported to Liberia, and the Liberian government was forced to accept. Eventually, the Native American population of Liberia became so large, educated and vocal that the Americo-Liberian True Whig Party had a hard time excluding them from political and social life. Eventually, Native Americans began to form political parties, and the carefully maintained one-party state of the True Whigs fell apart.
Perhaps one of the most well-known Liberian politicians of Native American descent is Geronimo Wetherington, who previously was a church minister and social rights activist before becoming President. His politics were characterized by liberalism, ardent neutrality in regards to either CSA or USA, and attempts to build equality between Americo-Liberians, Indo-Liberians and Native Liberians.

Not really. Been a longstanding guideline, which is why you usually stich large numbers of boxes together.
If it's too large to upload, you can always upload it to a site like Imgur or Photobucket and then link the image from there.

Aelred the Wanderer, also known as the “White Wolf of Olon Gol” and “the Starson,” was the longest reigning Khan of the Torbon tribe of humans on Ger-Khumusin, during the turn of the first millennium AM, born more than twelve hundred years after When The Stars Picked Up Their Spears. Aelred spent his formative years living amongst the warlike, nomadic agdikaan, the original inhabitants of Ger-Khumusin before their displacement by human settlers in the ancient past, sent there by his father, an advisor to Torwal Khan. Aelred, already known during this period as the Wanderer, returned to the Torbon capital of Olon Gol after Torwal’s son, Solund, ascended to Khan after the death of his father. He minimized Aelred’s family and several other clan leaders, and tried to lead the Torbon on a campaign of expansion to solidify his rule. After presiding over a disastrous defeat to the neighboring Kokoran, Aelred challenged Solund to single combat, and he rose to the position of Khan after slaying him. Aelred spent the next several years reorganizing Torbon society along more martial lines, influenced by the agdikaan.
This prompted many early challenges to his leadership, with accusations of being too kariin – too alien in his ways. Aelred met each of these challenges with success, and as his reforms translated to successes on the battlefield and expansion of Torbon lands, overt challenges ceased. However, whispers of kariin would follow him for the rest of his life.
The conquests spearheaded by him and his personal ferocity in combat earned Aelred the epithet of the “White Wolf,” both amongst friends and enemies. Aelred subdued the Kokoran and incorporated them under Torbon ascendancy, and shattered several other nations and tribes on the battlefield, and for nearly two decades the Torbon knew only brief periods of peace as Aelred conquered his way across the planet. But the White Wolf seemed to meet his military match with Akamu, Khan of the Vienchun. Akamu defeated the first Torbon army to enter his lands, and stalemated Aelred’s subsequent efforts again and again in the field. Aelred would win a victory, only to have another force defeated soon after. Aelred personally led a decisive victory that saw Akamu retreat behind the walls of his capital, but at the cost of a quarter of his own force.
Facing internal pressures from his clan leaders and advisors, Aelred parlayed with Akamu. The two khans met at the foot of the Mount of Olives, a lone mountain in the borderlands between their two nations. What was said at the parlay was known only to the two khans, and was never passed on recordkeepers. But the result was peace between the Torbon and Vienchun, Torbon recognition of the Vienchun’s independence in exchange for Akamu nominally recognizing Aelred as Khagan – and Aelred taking Akamu’s eldest daughter, Kehmalee, as his wife. They would bear two children together, an older son, Bardan, and a younger daughter, Vatsana, who was called Half-Gold due to the complexion of her skin and color of her hair. These legitimate children joined a legion of bastards.
Kehmalee is credited with turning Aelred’s heart largely a way from war. Those his armies continued to march across Ger-Khumusin, solidifying his claim as Khagan, large-scale conquest and expansion of Torbon lands ceased several years after their marriage. This development, and the marriage itself, reignited the accusations of kariin, and questions as to his marriage were known to prompt Aelred to fly into bloody rages even late into his life. Kehmalee was a formidable historian and astrologer, who was by all accounts obsessed with her passions, and turned her husbands eyes to the ancient legends – of the Great Expansions, of the War in Heaven, of When The Stars Picked Up Their Spears. And most importantly, of Old Earth, the supposed primordial homeland of mankind, shrouded in myth and legend.
Aelred grew to share his wife’s obsessions, particularly with finding Old Earth. Aelred began to inquire upon, hire into his service, and even interdict the free traders that infrequently visited Ger-Khumusin. These actions began building the rudiments of his star fleet. Whispers of madness began to join the whispers of kariin, but the Khagan persisted in his efforts. During the late period of his rule, much of the resources of the empire he had built went into constructing four great ships. Upon the completion of his ships, Aelred announced, to no surprise but still much consternation, his intent to begin a journey to discover Old Earth, and return with its riches. He embarked with his entire household, the Imperial Keshig, and several units of the Imperial Army, and many more, and launched off into the stars. He, nor any of the people or ships he took with him, were seen again. It was this action that earned him the epithet “The Starson.”
As Aelred has every intent of returning, he failed to name a successor to the throne of the Khagan, or of the Khan of the Torbon. The resulting power struggle resulted in the collapse of the Torbon empire, and the dissolving of the Khaganate. The title khagan would not be claimed again until nearly a thousand years later during the Blood Oath of the Seven Tribes atop the Mount of Olives, by Artom Khan.
What happened to Aelred or his fleet is still unknown, and the subject of much speculation.

Does anyone remember that one wikibox (or series of wikiboxes) where Donald Trump ran as a Democrat in 2016 after Mitt Romney was elected in 2008? I remember it had an alternate campaign announcement that railed against cops instead of Mexicans.
The only elections that flip OTL though, if I did the logic right, are 1976, 1960, and 1848.
