The 1957 Ukrainian general elections were rather contentious. Nikifor Varun-Sekret, the youngest son of the prominent Kherson deputy and nobleman Sergei Timofeyevich Varun-Sekret, was getting old. While a veteran politician whose control of the conservative, nationalist Union of 22nd January have allowed him to rule the Central Rada and the country for three terms, the Union of 22nd January was growing unpopular, perhaps due to the growing economic issues and tensions with the Western and Russophone nations alike.
With the rise of the liberal National Democrats, headed by Pavlo Tychyna, the Union of 22nd January began to falter. Tychyna's ideology of national democracy and liberal nationalism appeals to the urbanites of Kiev, Kherson, Odessa, Zhitomir and many other large cities across Ukraine, and the politician himself is considered an "outsider" and a vastly more charismatic figure than Varun-Sekret.
Perhaps even more harmed by the rapid ascension of the National Democrats is the Social Democratic Party of Ukraine. As of 1957, the Social Democrats were headed by Oleksiy Kirichenko, prominent labor leader and head of the Odessa Oblast from 1949 to 1950. The growing belief that Kirichenko was a mouthpiece of Mykola Marchak, a prominent politician from the party, did not benefit the party vote at all. Nonetheless, the Social Democrats retained their primary strongholds - that is, Luhansk and Kamianets-Podilskiy.
The Popular Unity, a conservative, left-populist and Christian democratic party headed by Ihor Sikorsky, was not having a good time either, what's with the rise in popularity in regards to the Alliance of Ukrainian Nationalists, a far-right party headed by Bohdan Kravtsyv. Of course, Popular Unity was still able to depend on the religious rural vote, and maintained its presence in the Central Rada. The election of 1957 also saw the appearance of the centrist Liberty for Ukrainians, a centrist pro-Western political party headed by politologist and deputy from Podolia. His support for economic reforms gave him some support from the big cities and the industrial regions of Ukraine, but it was still very small.
Either way, the 1960s were bound to be interesting...

Please refrain from posting current politics in this thread. There is a WikiBox thread in Chat for political posts.
Ah, the good ol' Sdrawkcab Name. Took me all the way until the end to figure it out.
Heh, was the first thing I noticed about the wikibox. Guess I am word fixated!
If Elias Seath is from the state of Preston, why isn't Hermann Garrett from the state of Martin?

Does anyone have a highly detailed tutorial for how to make Wikipedia infoboxes? I'm trying to make one for the election of 1860 but I don't know where to start.

Perhaps one of the most important points in Mauritanian history is the assassination of its 9th President, Yahya Ould Hademine. With the death of Hademine, combined with the Identitarian Revolution in France, the society of Mauritania, spurred on by abolitionists and Islamists alike, rebelled against the military-dominated government. The years of ECOWAS occupation followed.
In the African Renaissance that affected all countries on the continent, Mauritania was perhaps the unluckiest. With a history of slavery and a brutal ethnic caste system dominated by the Beidane, who preferred to hide the truth about slavery in Mauritania rather than truly abolish it, and rocky relations with neighboring Senegal, Mauritania was restless following the years of transition (2028-2033). The parliamentary elections of the 2030s, which put a disproportionate amount of Haratin and blacks into the National Assembly, combined with the strict enforcement of the African Union Convention on Slavery of 2034, created ethnic tension between the Beidane, the Haratin and the now-freed blacks, especially as the new Mauritanian Republic came to be dominated by the Union for the Forces of Progress (Alliance for Progress after 2046).
Of course, even as Mauritania exported its oil and minerals and rebuilt itself with ECOWAS help, its politics were tense. From 2030 and up to 2052, it saw no real opposition to its dominant-party social democracy until the transformation of the quasi-Nasserist People's Progressive Alliance into the People's Alliance for Justice. Under powerful figures such as Hamza Ould Yebawa (Prime Minister from 2052 to 2057 and 2062 to 2067), Abbad Ould Boubacar (18th President of Mauritania from 2062 to 2067; Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation from 2052 to 2057) and Mahmoud Ould Hamid (16th President of Mauritania from 2052 to 2057), the People's Alliance for Justice grew into a powerful party, having support from pro-Egypt blacks, Haratin and rural Beidanes alike. The period of rule of Ould Hamid, Massahoud Ould Yahya and Ould Boubacar is marked as the period of rise in nationalism and rightism in Mauritania, contributed to by industrialization, social issues, the tense relationship between the positions of President and Prime Minister and discontent with the ruling parties due to their inability to properly combat the "subjugation" of Mauritania by the African Union.
Thus, Siada stepped in. Meaning literally "Sovereignty", Siada was a far-right political party that clamored for an unification of all the social classes and ethnic groups in Mauritania into a "single force" to "maintain the sovereignty of the Mauritanian nation against subjugation by negroid powers". It was believed that, due to the anti-African rhetoric of its members, Siada would never become powerful. However, Siada was a true African success story: led by Hamid Ould Haroun, a prominent lawyer and labour leader who has historically been a deputy in the National Assembly and regional assemblies, Siada was able to appeal to a number of Haratin, the Beidane and the blacks, promising them what they wanted most: unity. With People's Alliance for Justice and Alliance for Progress too divided between themselves to combat Siada, Hamid Ould Haroun and Mohamed Ould Zidane, formal chairman of Siada, swept the nation, winning 135 seats in the National Assembly with a popular vote of almost 2,800,000 million people.
The rest of Africa stared in horror as Siada secured 185 seats in the 2074 election, while APJ and AP disbanded themselves, cementing Mauritania's transformation from dictatorship to dominant-party democracy to dictatorship.

I'm not wholly interested in writing a full-on canon universe for this, particularly since I may use this in an eventual reboot of one of my first timelines if I ever get around to caring enough to do it. But in the interim, enjoy the Caisars and Caisarines of the United States of America, from the reign of George 'the Great', through George III.

Thanks, I wasn't planning to do anything with it, but here's another one with no comment:

And now we're going to get silly about it
After the untimely death of President Hobart in 1899, President Allison navigated a turbulent turn of the century as economic chaos reigned in Europe and damaged American industry. The emergence of the Populist/Social Democratic party fusion, and party schisms leading to an internal rebranding in early 1900 contributed to the defeat of Augustus Van Wyck and William Jennings Bryan in 1900 against war-hero George Dewey.
