Johnson running an Indy campaign seems ASB to me, he was loyal to the Democratic Party and plus if he runs a campaign against the national nominee he loses all the power he's built up for himself in the Senate. He wasn't just another Dixiecrat, he actively worked to break their power in the Senate.

Yeah, you’re definitely right about all of that. I just felt like making a random and strange scenario.
I think when I made this, I was thinking the answer was vote-splitting + Goldwater being conservative enough to perform well.
Now that I think about it, why didn't I have him win Texas?
Interesting. It somewhat reminds me of this scenario I came up with, where Strom Thurmond runs again in 1964, and the vote gets so split that the election goes to Goldwater.

The United States Presidential Elections
(1980-2016)
1980
Relations with the Soviet Union were tense, with Mitscher, Patton,Rayburn,McCormack, Udall and Rockefeller all carrying on the torch of past leadership of Presidents "Bull" Halsey and Dewey's rhetoric aimed at the "Wicked Witch of Siberia", known as the USSR. Nixon's controversial policies of opening the boarders of the United States proved to be allowing large trade with Europe that brought in goods from abroad.
In the 1980 Presidential Election, there were three main contenders for the presidency.
The First was the National Coalition party candidate of Fritz Holland, a former clerk that worked under President Udall and was the promising young governor of the state North York from it's founding in 1960 until it's abolishment in 1978. The National Coalition party's main base was a heavy drive towards the Yankee parts of the country, with heavily strong and plentiful war coffins stationed in a few southern states such as Alabama and Nebraska. However, the party had grown fat and rather corrupt, resulting in a relatively narrow selection of candidates, including future vice president Rob Portman. There was also concern about the relatively weak state of several possible members in the house and senate, former bastions for the NC, now altered and turned into battleground seats that used to enjoy 900% fraudulent majorities in elections.
Next came the deep fat fried and smothered in artery clogging goodness known as Dunkin Donuts, who formed a political party from nerve shaken veterans of far off military conflicts that the United States found itself in. The Dunkin Donuts party was a relatively fresh chip off the old block of the NC, formed in 1976 in an attempt to contest that years election. They were hounded at with police dogs and shot at when attempting to vote, the images heavily censored on state run television before the stations' eventual privatization in one of the last dying breaths of President Nixon's executive branch. Their political position found itself staunchly on the right of the political spectrum, but with more moderate wings and factions wanting liberalization in the country.
Their first ever convention that did not lead to the original members being forced into disappearance nominated a ticket of William Rosenberg and Robert Taft Jr, the latter an isolationist and the former being a slightly more interventionist. Their political planks gradually formulated into the call for a 7 hour workday, child labor laws, union protections, the guarantee of free speech and the privatization of all major state owned businesses and corporations along with the opening of the nation to foreign investment abroad.
However, despite the options of two choices, a frustrated homeless guy living in Colorado decided to file the needed paperwork for a third party run. In a narrow 4-3 decision by the American Electoral Tribunal, it was agreed that John A. Love would be permitted to be on the ballot in a total of one fifth of the total states, or 10/50 because math is hard for me. However, he was allowed to only campaign in those ten states and grant all "equal attention according to the needed resources his campaign so allows to be in production and distribution simultaneously." His message would be the need to shake up the electorate, promising change in people's lives. He promised large and outrageous wishes, such as a 3,000,000 pay raise for each working man or woman, a nuclear bomb for each family, and a purple dinosaur outside every television station in the country. He formed his own political party, simply called Alternative Vote. For his running mate and after snorting several lines of cocaine, Love decided to go with Bob Hope simply because "I like the campaign sign, Love/Hope '80."
The General Campaign would have all three of the politicians running around, kissing babies, meeting with undecided voters and shooting campaign advertisements that vilified the opponents while praising their hopeful president. In early September of 1980, there was the call for the first ever televised Presidential Debates between all three candidates.
The Questions ranged from foreign policy, personal lives of the candidates, several government scandals that were recently released to the press and subsequently, the public. Several memorable lines that stuck forever in the minds of the american voter before going to the polls were:
Moderator Ronald Reagan: "Now, candidate Love, You've been noticeably vague about your possible solutions to several issues facing this country right now, such as unemployment. Can you, in the one hundred and eighty seconds allotted to you, deliver concrete policy solutions and ideas that your campaign has proposed and has thought of?"
Love: "No."
Reagan: "Why is that?"
Love: "Because we don't need concrete ideas in this country right now, we merely need to dream big, then let god sort it out! If we think of constructing the world's largest dam made from waffle irons and lipstick, then let us just go with it. The American is an impulsive cocaine driven mad man, and that madness and impulsiveness leads to great things in this country. In fact, I'm on cocaine right now! Does anyone want me to give them cocaine? no... shit. I was hoping that I'd get one buyer, my campaign's deeply in the red, we're bankrupt after this debate, I blew the remaining 5 dollars we had on dinner at Uncle Sam's Mandatory Restaurant for Americans, or UESA-MORA. Those hash browns were sub-par."
When the Election results slowly trickled in at 7 pm, the National Coalition party initially began with a wide lead until 9 pm, when DD actually overtook NC in Electoral votes before coming back down thanks to larger states such as Pennsylvania and New York finishing in counting their ballots for the New Coalition. Meanwhile, Alternative Vote's base turned up in the ten states allowed, and proved to be the biggest margin of a party that was restricted to ballot access, with a 30% win rate. Despite the opposition's best hopes, the political reformer Fritz Hollings won in a landslide of 344 compared to 125 and 69 for Rosenberg and Love.

1984
A large group of conservative Dunkin Donuts party members decided to hold a national presidential nominating convention in Detroit, Michigan. The nominees included then CEO of Krispy Kreme Dave Thomas, self-funded real estate magnate Bill Gates, and the mayor of Chicago Alan Keyes. After making several controversial remarks regarding homosexuality and being an alleged agent of Marxist rhetoric scandals, Keyes lost the nomination to Thomas by a total margin of 1,101.
Krispy Kreme Nomination Convention
First Ballot
Dave Thomas: 1,240
Alan Keyes: 139
Bill Gates: 2
Feeling alienated by the conservative stances of Krispy Kreme and not yet willing to fully admit your allegiance to the Lincoln-Democrats? Well then Conservative Coke is the party for you! They pushed for a more moderate version with semi-liberal policies, such as affirmative action and an end to segregation while keeping tough on military spending and abortion. They decided that a politically unknown national figure was needed for this election,and found that figure to be the billionaire and CEO of Paramount Studios Barry Diller. Diller had never even seen a mayoral office in his life, being the perfect outside candidate for the party to crusade with on the holy campaign trail. While experimenting with other businessmen, including billionaires and former nomination competition of John McCain and Steve Forbes, Diller went with the surprising pick of Bob Martinez, the mayor of Tampa, Florida with a conservative track record.

Lincoln-Democrat
Like Social welfare programs? Enjoy affirmative action programs? Relishing in minority support come election season? Well then you have to be a Lincoln-Democrat! The Lincoln Democrats held a liberal platform of ideas and beliefs near and dear to their hearts, such as progressive ideas of lower work hours for children, the demand for all Wall Street executives to be carried away to insane asylums and a hearty love of canned soups, with Campbell's being their largest donor of campaign funds throughout their existence as a political movement. Enter North Dakotan senator Kent Conrad, who would campaign fiercely in the Midwest of the nation, frequently helping out farmers in a rudimentary populist message and voice. He pushed for affirmative action programs and wished to assist out women in the work force with a slew of legislation he promised would whisk all their issues away, and bring more out later.
Southern National
Conservative Coke being too moderate on issues for your liking? Hating the soft approach that Krispy Kreme is presenting to the country on national defense and the economy? Then experiment with Southern National, a more right leaning political party. The Southern National Party nominated popular Utah governor Mitt Romney and Arizonan senator Barry Goldwater for president and vice president respectively. While there had been competition between Utahan Senator Orrin Hatch and governor Romney, the nomination process proceeded with them being nominated on the second ballot after shifts. In his acceptance speech, Goldwater promised to take the party to a more left leaning plank than previous parties while also doubling down on his anti-communist rhetoric.
Panda Populist
Don't like the Lincoln-Democrats, not feeling alright with the conservative parties, but still want to vote? Then Panda Populist is your party! The Panda Populists knew fully well that there was no way for themselves to win the election, but they hoped they would take enough electoral votes away to send the election into a second round, planning on backing the promising Southern National, with similar beliefs and ideas.
Memorable Lines from the Debate
"Mr. Thomas has proposed outrageously overblown plans that will double our national debt to $10 trillion dollars, if we want simple, no nonsense solutions to our problems, there should be a national consensus that my campaign is the easy choice."
"Senator, there's always a lot of nonsense when it comes to politics, I know you're foreign to this type of format, with you being from those hill countries, but I will ensure our security, I will ensure our prosperity, and I will ensure our stability, would any of you say right now on this spot that you would do the exact same?"
...
"I thought not."
Senator Kent Conrad and Krispy Kreme CEO Dave Thomas during the first debate.
During the election night, all four candidates (cheng went to bed after Oregon's call at 10 PM) stayed up late and watched first as Conrad took over Kentucky and Illinois, while Thomas made gains in the entire northeast, being surprised when Pennsylvania wasn't called at first. He thought he would have troubles in Ohio rather than a dependably old guard state, as Ohio had gone for a more light toned senate candidate in that year's special election. The old states of the confederacy were more splintered up than Romney had hoped for. He needed a win in Texas and Florida to boost up his vote count, what he got instead of the lone star and the sunshine state were the four deepest southern states, the old confederate bastions that rallied behind him. As much as he appreciated the enthusiasm the southern voters had, he needed to win something besides a demographic of Caucasians, Christians and communist sympathizers.
The businessman turned krispy kreme nominee felt anxious during the night, noticing the surprising call of Texas for him, as all previous polls had assured the state for the Romney campaign by 5 to 10 points. Texas was won by a hair below the 10 point margin. By the stroke of midnight, Thomas found himself in his hotel room taking 3 concession calls that night, and one at 8 AM, with a contentious press worrying if Cheng would concede the race. Cheng defended his late concession call with the three word remark: "I was tired."

Conservative Coke nomination
The nomination fight was primarily between William Scranton III, the governor of Pennsylvania with Olympia Snowe, a one term house of representatives member from Maine, who attacked Scranton on his wealth and promoted populist reforms. After shooing away Diller's last attempt to seek the Conservative Coke nomination, there began a fierce delegate clash throughout two days of nominating and voting, with several backroom deals falling apart and leaving the convention deadlocked. Eventually right before the 8th Balloting, a total of 75 Snowe delegates walked out of the convention in protest, handing the nomination with the remaining 600 to Scranton III.

National Conservative nomination
The National Conservative party felt like this would be the year, their moment in the sunlight, their shot at the white house, and there was much enthusiasm for local radio show host, fiery preacher and Virginian governor and three term senator from North Carolina Pat Buchanan. In the nomination convention, Buchanan blew all the other more moderates (that could even get into the convention center at all, with many moderates being barred entrance) away with his hot headed speaking style and smooth southern accent. It seemed that the National Conservatives had not only picked a winner, they had picked an damn good winner. They also noticed an opportunity to take away more southern states such as Louisiana and the Carolinas from Krispy Kreme, and so campaigned heavily with local politicians in those states as attempts to win them come November.

Lincoln-Democrat nomination
In comparison to the National Conservative's optimism and hopefulness in this election, the Lincoln- Democrat convention for the nomination attracted very little in the way of a race, ultimately coming down to Jimmy Carter, the former governor of Georgia and Adalai Stevenson III, a freshly retired from Washington senator emanating from Illinois. The overall enthusiasm that Kent Conrad once had poured into the party, exciting members to get out and vote simply had evaporated like water on a hot summer's afternoon. Soon enough, Jimmy Carter yawned his way through the snore-fest of the convention and won the nomination unanimously after Stevenson withdrew. Carter, noticing the lack of enthusiasm on behalf of the party, decided to ramp up support in the youth vote by selecting stock broker, governor of Arkansas,musician and rock-star Bill Clinton as his running mate.

Memorable Lines during the debate
"Now, I wouldn't mind repealing the 2nd Amendment, you know loads of people die from firearm deaths each and every single year in america, would we want little billy jr looking down the barrel of a loaded gun, or god forbid infant suzzy lou who is not more than two and lives in a shoe getting her finger winger shotty whottied offy woffy."
"What the heck is with the baby talk, Carter, appealing to the infant demographic?"
*crowd laughs*
"I'm just making a strong connection with the mothers and fathers that lose their children in these horrible tragedies that they occur. You concur on me with that notion, correct?"
"Absolutely, it's never right to kill. However, you appear to be mocking those that lost their loved ones n these horrific events, and that is shameful, disresepctful,and monstrous! Shame on you for that! We need to ensure firearms are away from the hands of criminals, but my opponent's solution to raise the minimum age, begin a background check system and actually forbidding fire arms on airline flights goes too far in my opinion. It's a small step away from government tyranny!"
"Government tyranny, what a load of hogwash and bullshit. You see, Jimmy Carter can swear! He also can refer to himself in the third person!"
Governors Jimmy Carter and Patrick Buchanan during the second debate, on a question about gun control.
The Last election of the 1980s saw a disapproval of the president be either heard or snuffled out in the deep south, with 6 states that voted for Krispy Kreme in the last election found voting instead for National Conservative. Patrick Buchanan's fiery temper proved most beneficial and detrimental to the NC's chances at winning the election.
While they had almost doubled their electoral vote count and had almost twice as many votes as they had fared in the 1984 election, the Buchanan/Connally ticket proved somewhat disappointing with the vice presidential nominee. There had been concerns about Connally's loyalty on the campaign trail, with him being a former Krispy Kreme supporter only a year beforehand. Buchanan continues to argue in two changing narratives that first he didn't want to pick him, and the convention forced him upon the party's platform, the other is that he wanted to balance out the ticket with a more modest person of interest as the vice president that would help lasso moderates to the party.
Nevertheless, despite not winning six states that were previously theirs last election season, Thomas squeaked out a victory 280 compared to 142 for the runner up.
___________________________________________________________________________________
1992
Meanwhile, the failed Conservative Coke nominee decided he would have another go at the whole presidential nomination business. John McCain decided to instead try to wrestle the National Conservative nomination away from Pat Buchanan, who, as defiant as ever, refused to step down until the second to last balloting after 27 rounds of voting via the delegations. In his nomination speech, he gave the most lasting lines in american political history:
"Mr. President, you're building a dynasty, I'm building a future."
John McCain decided to comb through the various other delegates at the convention before settling on an Ohioan named John Boehner, who initially declined it until the next day, when he was nominated unanimously for vice president.
The Lincoln-Democrats, who had been humiliated in 1988, barred Jimmy Carter from even attending the nomination convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a distraught and depressed carter watched the convention, encased in the flickering glow of his television, an elderly Richard Nixon, who had trouble remembering his words, stood up and delivered the opening address to the 30,000 gathered people and 980 gathered delegates from 49 states. (Louisiana's 20 delegates were barred from the convention due to the authoritarian regime of governor David Duke (1980-1995.) Their pick for president became the second of many johns in this election, John Kerry and John Edwards, a running gag throughout the 1992 american political exercise of democracy.
Memorable Lines from the debates
"Hello, and welcome to the first debate for the U.S Presidential election of 1992, we have the candidates of John, John and John. My money's on John winning, I disagree with John's policies, I'm ambivalent about John."
Moderator Stephen Colbert's opening line on the first debate.
While the 1992 election was noted for the addition of six same first name political candidates running for office, there was another notable first, with the passing of 90 million popular votes, the first ever by John Heinz, who was also one of the first vice presidents to successfully win an election in their own right, not succeeding to the office by a prior one's resignation, impeachment or assassination since Martin Van Buren in 1836. McCain's 158 electoral vote tally would be the highest the National Conservatives would reach until their successful presidential run in 2004. John Kerry finished a strong third place with 94 electoral votes and 20% of the popular vote. The 1992 election would also be the last time Kentucky would vote National Conservative until the 2004 election.
___________________________________________________________________________________
1996
Krispy Kreme
Incumbent President John Heinz's chances at winning re-election appeared to be, at a glance, at a relatively high chance. Come nomination time, Heinz attempted to play it safe to prevent an alienation with the working class coalition of voters that got him into the white house to begin with. This tactic worked successfully, and Heinz won without major opposition, save for a housewife in norfolk virginia named Josephine Hicks who got seventeen delegates as a protest vote before the second round for a unanimous vote.
Liberal Populist
The Lincoln-Democrats used to be at the top of their game, with their best electoral vote numbers coming from the 1992 election with 13 entire states and 94 electoral votes. However, John Kerry's somewhat bland personality and his occasionally alienating stunt in attempts to connect with average voters failed to convince more people, and even was a factor in driving the party into disintegrating on August 4th, 1995. In it's place emerged three factions within the party that formed their own separate parties.
The plan was to divide the electoral college to throw the election to the House, hoping one of their nominees would be picked to throw off Krispy Kreme conservative rule. The first of these was the Liberal Populists, a radical branch that promised to anchor the party's positions on social and economic issues firmly on the left of the political spectrum. They promised the country large social works programs, expansion of Halsey-care and medicaid and a strong message on support for ethnic minorities through affirmative action programs.
Confucius Conservative
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, there had been a massive influx of immigrants from Asia, with 1989 alone seeing 1.1 million Chinese, 500,000 Koreans and 400,000 Japanese arriving within the united states. Oregon had one of the highest populations of Asian Americans in proportion to the percentage at 38.4% according to the 1990 U.S Census. However, there had been the same frustration of the lack of representation in state and federal government that Cheng had attempted to tap into in 1984. The Confucius Conservative party was founded and managed to get ballot access in California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington respectively. In their first convention, Gary Locke and Lee H. Hamilton were nominated on the third ballot as their candidates for president and vice president. Their message was one of low taxes and increased affirmative action programs in other states where Asian-Americans were a minority, such as in Georgia and Indiana.
Lincoln Stalwart
Meanwhile, the remnants of the Lincoln-Democrats scrambled to pick a candidate that would represent their more moderate liberal views (at least in comparison to the Liberal Populists). Their platform would be one of support for the incumbent president while holding disagreements on current policies of his, such as the military invasion of Iran to depose the Islamic Theocratic regime. The Party was known as the old guard and got the support of elderly donors of the Liberal-Democrats, such as Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell. Their nominee was Chris Shays, an incumbent senator from Connecticut, where support for the old guard was most vocal and highest at 70%. Shays would initially have his staff attempt to promote his planned policies and programs in a series of television ads all over new England. After an initial high of 10% in the polls and with 3% name recognition, Shays finished with 4% if the votes and 9% name recognition, being able to only barely be recognized outside of Connecticut if he was wearing groucho glasses.
National Conservative
By 1996, the original enthusiasm that had made the party appear in second place with the elder senator from Arizona had seemed to dwindle. Nonetheless, McCain appeared on the convention floor on the third night of the rallies that were taking place at the headquarters in Boise, Idaho. There had been a deadlock between the charming and interesting candidacy of former movie star and political candidate Clint Eastwood and the relatively plain and boring candidacy of Phil Batt, the incumbent governor of Idaho. Eastwood promised vague and unclear policies, such as an increase in the tax on postage transport and more funding for the united states postal service. Batt countered such ideas with equally ludicrous proposals to have mail be delivered via carrier pigeon and to ban video games, with the exception of those that provide a good moral standing to the youth of today.
After previously agreeing to bow out of the 1992 presidential election to maximize the chances for a victory for the National Conservatives, the Conservative Coke Party reneged on the former deal with the NC and held their nomination convention in Jackson, Mississippi, picking Robert McNair and Tom Kean for president and vice president respectively. McNair's general election strategy was an attempt to branch out from the traditionally safe base of localized voters in Pennsylvania and Florida, wanting to instead focus on being the top billing when it came to popular vote. He would not only visit all 50 states, he would frequently joke that he had visited "500 states." However, the National Conservative candidate found the quality of his multitude of speeches often landing with large duds until the nomination convention, when it shot up to nearing 28% in the polls before stabilizing at 13 to 15% of the popular vote.
Memorable Lines from the Debate
"What concerns me most is the rapid rise of these big box stores that are squandering competition which is needed in the free market for it to truly blossom and for the american people to get the best deal there is! If I'm president my administration will be the second Theodore Roosevelt, forcing these mega-corporations into dissolving into smaller ones to put power back into the people."
"What the hell is the problem with these large corporations, you want to restrict the many ways these titans of industry run the national economy, leading to recession after recession? Your campaign is funded by dangerous local politicians and grassroots movements that have shocked me in their success so far. The forgotten voice of american politics, the voter, should stay silenced, oh, not you Connecticut, I'm planning on just winning you come November!"
Phil Batt and Chris Shays regarding a question from the audience on the increasing power of business and monetary interests in politics.
John Heinz had been expected to cruise into an easy 2nd term, but no-one expected it to be this easy. With the divided Lincoln-Democratic field between the establishment and the populists, along with a large skewering of percentages thanks to the large numbers that Conservative Coke brought in handed the electoral college to Heinz for another 4 years in the white house.
___________________________________________________________________________________
2000
He was also hated for his personal affairs which popped up, such as supposedly cheating on his wife. To complicate matters, in the 1998 Midterm elections, Krispy Kreme lost control of the Senate to National Conservative, with senate majority leader John McCain vowing to block the president's legislative agenda. In open defiance of all these factors working against him, John Heinz surprised many people by vowing to fight and win a third 4 year term in office.
Krispy Kreme
John Heinz actually had a tight nomination for the presidency, a surprise for such a long standing incumbent. The Nomination convention was faced with former secretary of state under President Dave Thomas (1989-1991) Bob Dole, who vowed to uphold the ideals of Alf-Landon, a known isolationist politician from the 1930s and 1940s. Despite demanding change in the party leadership, Heinz was elected on the fifth ballot, though those that had drafted a movement to prevent a third term for Heinz migrated to the next door National Conservative convention, which was going on at the exact same time as the Krispy Kreme convention. There were large scale protests outside of the convention hall between those that demanded changes to the party floor's rules to allow more delegates to be chosen by locals of the states rather than state assemblies, which was often the case in 47 of the 50 states that sent delegates to the convention.
National Conservative
The next-door National Conservative party was feeling fantastic, with a unified party and a wide base of nominees, the nomination came down to who could shout the loudest and complain about modern music. The candidates narrowed to incumbent Utah senator Orrin Hatch and former presidential candidate Phil Batt,who wanted to try this whole "presidential nomination" thing one more time. Batt suffered from the same stereotypes as had plagued him throughout his 1996 attempt. He was boring, He had unclear policy positions, he was a flip flopper on issues,etc. Hatch ultimately exploited these issues from his northern candidate and managed to get the nomination on the 13th balloting.
Conservative Coke
Former Businessman and monopoly party member Steve Forbes came out of the convention hall swinging with a political axe, accidentally decapitating several staunch supporters with hot headed words during his first opening speech, decrying private donors that were the same ones that were once funding The Stalwart Democrats, only to switch sides when it best suited them. Forbes simply brushed them aside, vowing to self fund his campaign and bring hope back to Washington and america.
Lincoln-Democrats
Understanding the unmitigated disaster that 1996 had been for the Lincoln-Democrats,lessons in party unity were learned like a child by touching a hot stove, which was an oft-repeated political cartoon regarding the Lincoln-Democrats in the 2000 presidential election. They decided to try out the Kerry "Brothers" for this choice, nominating a Nebraskan and a Massachusettsan with respect to their represented states in the senate.

Oh god, please don't tell me rhinoceros robbers and cheese smugglers go there, they are the worst.
"When I said I wanted to build one, I meant I wanted to build one."
One of the earliest CAP joint megaprojects, Scarlet Bay is home to the galaxy's worst scum- document forgers, horse thieves, dog killers, rifle robbers, and occasionally, if they're particularly nasty, a serial killer or two. The Night Watchmen send their worst, most un-reformable criminals to Scarlet Bay as a last resort, when county jails no longer prove adequate, and the Concert of Associated Powers, for a considerable annual fee, provides the with housing, food, water, and work- largely in the effort to push back Jaspermoss, an incredibly invasive fungus-lichen-thing that has a tendency to release exceptionally angry spores when burned. Since it has opened, it has been an unprecedented success, clearing more than 1.3% of the planet's land area, with hopes that the efforts might speed up as expansion camps are built and settlement is opened to non-criminals.
Now that's why I call a minority government, nearly 60 seats short!
I remember this whole "make your mayor US president" trend from a while back. So, out of boredom, I decided to run with it.
The collapse of the German Fatherland Front regime in 2012 and the ensuing civil war sent shockwaves throughout the international community, especially as the fate of the country's nuclear stockpile was in question. In an unanimous vote, the Council of the League of Peace and Freedom authorised an operation that sought to secure all nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons within German territory, prevent the Civil War from spilling over internationally, and reduce Germany to its pre-1922 borders.
The war had been won in the intervening years, now the big question was: could the LPF win the peace? This question would be the main issue leading up to the 2016 election.
Incumbent Steve Schostok (himself the son of German refugees) and his Social Democratic Party were steadfast on the need to ensure the continuing reconstruction of the former Reich and its client states at any cost necessary. To give up this late in the game, after all, would mean that any future German regime would seek revenge and that all the previous years' work would be for nought.
Paul Kukiz was having none of that. The former-underground-musician-turned-mainstream-entertainer-turned-dark-horse-candidate won the Populist primaries on the back of an incendiary campaign. Poland has been found once more, the East has been liberated, and Germany, much reduced in stature and and weapons capacity, simply didn't have the ability to become a threat again. It was time to withdraw for now create a stronger America, one that would lead the world by example and remake it in its image.
What was lost was the longstanding alliance with the Christian Democrats of America, with former Michigan governor Mike Maturen calling out Kukiz's vision for what it was: an attempt to ensnare America in a permanent war. Calling itself the party of responsible Christians, Maturen wanted a just end to the reconstruction, a strong safety net for the millions of returning veterans, and a more inclusive America.
The voters ultimately had enough faith in Schostok's vision to elect him to a second term; Kukiz, meanwhile, was spared what would have been an embarassing House vote that would've brought the splits in the Populist Party to the fore. Maturen did well in the party's traditional strongholds, but most voters saw him as a more conservative Schostok and ended up voting for the real thing.
The collapse of the German Fatherland Front regime in 2012 and the ensuing civil war sent shockwaves throughout the international community, especially as the fate of the country's nuclear stockpile was in question. In an unanimous vote, the Council of the League of Peace and Freedom authorised an operation that sought to secure all nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons within German territory, prevent the Civil War from spilling over internationally, and reduce Germany to its pre-1922 borders.
The war had been won in the intervening years, now the big question was: could the LPF win the peace? This question would be the main issue leading up to the 2016 election.
Incumbent Steve Schostok (himself the son of German refugees) and his Social Democratic Party were steadfast on the need to ensure the continuing reconstruction of the former Reich and its client states at any cost necessary. To give up this late in the game, after all, would mean that any future German regime would seek revenge and that all the previous years' work would be for nought.
Paul Kukiz was having none of that. The former-underground-musician-turned-mainstream-entertainer-turned-dark-horse-candidate won the Populist primaries on the back of an incendiary campaign. Poland has been found once more, the East has been liberated, and Germany, much reduced in stature and and weapons capacity, simply didn't have the ability to become a threat again. It was time to withdraw for now create a stronger America, one that would lead the world by example and remake it in its image.
What was lost was the longstanding alliance with the Christian Democrats of America, with former Michigan governor Mike Maturen calling out Kukiz's vision for what it was: an attempt to ensnare America in a permanent war. Calling itself the party of responsible Christians, Maturen wanted a just end to the reconstruction, a strong safety net for the millions of returning veterans, and a more inclusive America.
The voters ultimately had enough faith in Schostok's vision to elect him to a second term; Kukiz, meanwhile, was spared what would have been an embarassing House vote that would've brought the splits in the Populist Party to the fore. Maturen did well in the party's traditional strongholds, but most voters saw him as a more conservative Schostok and ended up voting for the real thing.
If you're alright with a few questions:
Are PR, Guam, and the others still territories? I'm confused by their separate listing despite having EVs.
Has the election gone to the House before? Especially since Schostok won by 1 EV?
Why do New Mexico, Puerto Rico, and South Carolina vote the way they do?

The 1958 FIFA World Cup was held in Switzerland between June 4-27 and saw 16 teams competed in the 11th FIFA World Cup. During the FIFA World Cup, there was a bit of history created with the first playoff to be played in a World Cup when Argentina and Uruguay both ended up on three points and the same goal difference. This would lead to a playoff game in which Argentina would win the match 2-0 to a book spot into the quarterfinals as they joined Italy who knocked off Sweden (ranked number 3 in the World) to cause an upset.
The knockout stage would see Brazil and France make to the final where Vava scored a double in the final to finish in equal fourth in the goalscorers as his team would defeat Just Fontaine's France 4-1 in the final to record Brazil 1st title. This meant that they became the ninth different winner since it started in 1906.
