    Every Wikipedia on a war or battle has the belligerents, date, outcome, etc. in an info box on the top-right corner of the page, and most people pages have biography sections. The idea behind this thread is simple: edit the infoboxes so that the outcome of a major conflict is different, as if the infobox is from an alternate world.

    To do this, simply click the edit option for the article (or, if it's locked, hit "view source"), change the infobox, hit preview*, and take a screenshot.**

    *Make sure you don't save your changes to the article.

    **[NOT PRESENT IN THE ORIGINAL: Alternatively, you can copy-paste the infobox into the Sandbox and take a screenshot.]

    In some cases, the infobox will be separate from the article (I.E. You will see {{WW2Infobox}}). To access this info box, simply type "Template:kissingheart:Whichever one you're looking for*" into the Wikipedia search bar.

    (From The Eternal New Deal, my sci-fi universe)

    The 2077 Lunar federal election was another mandated sextennial election for the office of Governor-General of Luna, held on September 4, 2077 as mandated by the Basic Law for the Commonwealth of Luna.

    The office of Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Luna had been held by Charles Hereford for 12 years prior to the election, and the election field was tight and contentious as a number of candidates bid to become the Governor-General.

    The 'Regional Coalition' of Horace Pickering's Lunar National Party and Cyril Walker's Ecoanarchists managed to secure another term of power despite the great showing by the National Socialist Alliance, Android League of Luna, and Worker's Alliance. Pickering's government begins in a very weak manner, as the Congress of Regions has a narrow LNP-EA plurality.

    Some of the candidates defeated were Menachem Aalto, former Delegate to the Council of Commonwealths in Washington D.C.; Timur Espinoza, former Governor-General and Android civil rights advocate, and Apolonia Michaud, former President of the Lunar Helium Mining Cooperative; the three of whom made up the 'Erneuerungskoalition', a coalition formed by German settlers and American settlers over a century prior.

    Ecoanarchist? What does that mean?

    I mean, I suppose it could be an anarchist who's also an environmentalist, but how can you be an environmentalist on the Moon?

    ...ell, the sudden temperature drops in Gey Ben Hinnom last year can explain a lot of things, but Global Warming being false is not on...

    That's right. All of the 4th-thread era Bizzaropedia posts are officially reconnected by any 5th-thread era posts that may come insofar as they contradict each other.

    POD: Douglass wins California, Illinois, and Indiana, while Breckenridge wins Oregon, sending the 1860 election to the House. The House also deadlocks along regional and partisan lines, while the Democratic-controlled Senate chooses between the top two candidates for vice president in the Electoral College.

    I'm confused about why people would run against each other if they were in the same coalition. Surely this would risk splitting the vote and letting the other party win?

    Hey, new thread
    ---------------------------------------------
    California series thing
    The Scranton Territories have a confusing history. In the 1945 war between New York and California, California captured a few towns in Southern/Middle New York. After California won the war, they were given the counties where the California-captured towns were located in a treaty. This territory became known as the Scranton territory. The Scranton territory currently cannot vote in a national election, but their territory-wide elections can often be interesting.

    Governor Joe Biden has had a long political career. During the 1970s he was elected as a member of the now nationally-defunct Unity Party to the nationwide assembly. After the assembly stint Biden became Governor of the Scranton Territory in 1997. He has had a long tenure since then and has managed to keep the Unity Party alive in Scranton.

    The 2017 election was a race between Joe Biden's long powerful Unity machine, and Rick Santorum running as a member of the Conservative Solidarity Party the election was expected to be more competitive than elections past, however, Santorum made several gaffes, and his increasingly conservative positions on issues such as abortion and gay marriage earned Biden the endorsement from some more Moderate Conservative Solidarity Part members. After Santorum's gaffes, a bad debate performance, and increasingly conservative positions he had no chance, and Biden won a fifth term in office.
