Lavr Georgiyevich Kornilov (Russian: Лавр Гео́ргиевич Корни́лов; 18 August 1870 – 16 December 1933) was a Russian politician, military intelligence officer, explorer, and general. He served as Prime Minister of the State of Russia officially between 1928 and his death in 1933, although as leader of the Nationalist Army he was effectively leader of vast swathes of the country beforehand. Under his administration, Russia became a one-party state governed by the National Russian People's Party (NRNP). Ideologically, Kornilov was a Russian nationalist, although he had little political direction as Prime Minister, with most governance of the country conducted by his advisors and allies.

Born in Turkestan in 1870, Kornilov entered military school in Omsk in 1885 and in August 1892 he was assigned as a lieutenant to the Turkestan Military District, where he led several exploration missions in Eastern Turkestan, Afghanistan and Persia, learned several Central Asian languages, and wrote detailed reports about his observations. He continued as a military intelligence officer after graduating from Mykolayiv General Staff Academy as a captain. He served in the Russo–Japanese War and was promoted to colonel as a result, before travelling to China and meeting Chiang Kai-shek, future President of China. He continued military expeditions until the start of World War I in 1915, during which he saw action in Galicia and the Carpathian Mountains. He was captured by the Austrians but later managed to escape and returned to Russia in 1918. After Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown in 1919, as part of the Republican Army he was placed in charge of the Petrograd District. He remained a general in the Republican Army, reporting directly to the government in Petrograd, before he grew disillusioned with the democratic leaders. He helped plan the failed 1921 coup d'état, and following the capture and execution of many of his former colleagues, led a mass revolt in the capital. Using his influence, he managed to persuade the military to turn on the government and trigger the beginning of the Russian Civil War.

He was the leader of the Nationalist Army during the civil war, leading many of the war's major campaigns. He helped found the political vehicle of the Army – the NRNP – and became its first General Secretary, a position he held until his death. He was declared Prime Minister in 1923, but did not officially hold the role until the Nationalist victory in 1928. As Prime Minister, he was tasked with helping rebuild the country in the aftermath of a deadly civil war and he chose to implement policies that encouraged rapid industrialisation through an increasingly centralised economy. His administration was brutal, imprisoning and executing political opponents, suppressing revolt savagely and implementing what is now known as the White Terror, where over 100,000 political enemies were killed between 1927 and 1930. His economic policies led to the Donbass Famine of 1932–35, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.5 to 2.5 million people. He was in generally good health until the final year of his life and passed away at his home in Russia's new capital Moscow at the end of 1933.

Kornilov was the posthumous subject of a pervasive personality cult within Russia, perpetuated by his successor, and was seen as the father of the State of Russia. His political ideology of Russian nationalism is seen as the precursor to Russian fascism, which dominated political life in Russia after his death.

Ted K., who gets elected on a campaign of 'aggressive individualism', is impeached when he forced the covert bombing of very specific 'areas of interest', including the Desertron Particle Accelerator in Texas and the World Trade Center in New York.

A supply-side trust-fund lush who was chosen for the fact he wasn't a sociopathic killer, Trump was nothing more than a puppet of his Veep, who ended up engineering his own impeachment when he leaked his shady property deals to the New York Times. Thing is, nobody liked LaRouche either. Too mean!

Keyes comes in as a champion of 'compassionate conservatism', which quickly turns into 'contemporary conservatism', then 'classic conservatism', then finally something called 'atavistic conservatism', which doesn't even use alliteration.

By all means the militaristic Clark (who, like his opponent, was for escalating the land war in Nicaragua), would've won the presidency if it wasn't for the sockpuppet candidacy of the antsy lawyer from Rajneeshpuram who pledged to make the Soviets purge their minds of impure thoughts with meditation. For a man of peace, he did kick up a fuss when Oregon tried to succeed from the union.

Okay, so what if he sleeps with Miss America girls and snorts cocaine? So what if he shoots at pigeons out the white house window with a twelve gauge? Still better than Gingrich! At least Wilson admits he cheats on his wife!
 
The 1920 United Kingdom general election was the first to be held after World War I. It was the first modern election to take place in the UK without any Irish MPs being elected, after Ireland was granted independence at the 1920 Luxembourg Congress, and the last to be held in the United Kingdom, before it became the United Commonwealth in 1922. It was also the first where all men aged 21 and over were able to vote, regardless of circumstance, and the last in which women were not permitted to vote.

The Liberal Party, led by David Lloyd George, won a landslide victory, whilst the incumbent Conservative Party faced an electoral wipeout, after they were blamed for the poor governance of the British war effort and, as a result, for Britain's defeat in the war. Prime Minister Austen Chamberlain lost his seat in the election. The Labour Party experienced a surge of support, predominantly in urban areas, and formed the Official Opposition for the first time by winning almost 100 seats and 21.4% of the vote. The National Democratic Labour Party, a splinter group which had supported the British war effort and Chamberlain's war government, won 31 seats. After the election, the Conservative Party split, with those who believed that the party should continue to oppose Lloyd George's reformist government forming the Conservative Unionist group in Parliament, whilst others became independent MPs or joined the Liberal Party.

The election was seen as an overwhelming endorsement of Lloyd George's 'manifesto', copies of which had been distributed across the country in the campaign beforehand. The manifesto had suggested reforming the United Kingdom into a Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Wales, granting MPs from each nation more powers over matters that only concerned their country. It proposed modernising the House of Commons, reducing the size of the House of Lords as well as drawing up a written British constitution. It also promised to expand the welfare reforms introduced by the last Liberal government and extend suffrage to women. The manifesto was immediately popular, seen as a way of moving on from defeat in World War I. Lloyd George's victory led to the United Kingdom being dissolved on 31 December 1921 and the United Commonwealth of Great Britain being established on 1 January 1922.

You know what they say - wartime presidents always get reelected. Especially ones that turn the middle east into smouldering craters and reinstate the Texas Rangers as a peacekeeping force.

If you thought Charlie was the rootinest tootinest gun-toting red blooded 'murican to ever grace the White House lawn in just a pink dressing gown and combat boots, then you clearly haven't met Caribou Barbie. One week into her presidency she declared war on Russia claiming she'd "seen them getting up to no good" from her cabin in Alaska. Yeehaw!

Ironically enough both the Pres and Veep nominees on the Democratic side would both end up in federal prison after the election, one for sexting a minor and one for...well, just a whole lotta shit. Palin, commiting to the fact that wartime presidents get elected, eventually goes before the Hague. Geterdone!

For a brief moment, the Junior Jackson seemed like a light in the dark. But then it turns out that, like Blagojevich, just did a lot of bad shit. So much so that he retired in shame. This left Manchin, Champion of Coal Country, as the guy to try and win his own term.

Yeah yeah okay but who cares that she's the son of the former Vice President and starts every sentence with "l0oK"? Who cares that she won the electoral college on a technicality? Who cares that her Veep keeps cutting out letters from magazines and muttering about ciphers? Still better than Manchin and that fake progressive!​
 
Following the Hurd

It was odd. Douglas Hurd was arguably 'wetter' than Michael Heseltine in terms of personal views, but the Thatcherites found themselves supporting the former. Heseltine became increasingly obnoxious and complacent after Thatcher's withdrawal, talking of a need to 'embrace Europe' and to ditch the party's 'increasingly nasty image'. Not only did this alienate Thatcher loyalists, but the tone and divisiveness of Heseltine's second ballot campaign even put off some of his own first ballot supporters. John Major, the candidate who many Thatcherites had wished to back, was largely absent due to a sudden tooth infection that rendered him unable to campaign in person. Hurd eventually won a clear victory with a coalition of wets, dries and everything in between.

OOC: I may have a plan for all these posts.

An enhanced photograph of an unknown assassin, taken moments before he opened fire at the last of the 1996 Presidential debates. Four of the seven speaking candidates were hit, and the terrorist escaped before the Secret Service could apprehend him. Special agents and audience members did what they could to keep the wounded alive while first responders hurdled to them when suddenly things turned for the worse...

alien0-600x322.jpg

The wounded presidential candidates expired and one by one transformed into hideous beings that one could only describe as "alien". In the panic that ensued, the beings escaped into the city of Denver. One was caught on tape by an amateur cameraman close to the Denver International Airport.

As a result of this turn of events, a flood of political turmoil not since the seventies impacted the election and the federal government. While the parties attempted to figure out which of the candidates were actually still legally in the running, amongst other things, Sen. John Iselin leaked a supposed "classified" list of inhuman politicians, including Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

Needless to say the presidential election of 1996 was controversial and inconclusive. And so Congress met in the US capitol on an unseasonably warm fateful day in December...

Photograph taken following the aftermath of the unknown attack on the US capitol during the meeting of the electoral college. At the time investigators were unable to determine a cause for the explosion, though some witnesses claim a bomb had exploded in the chambers while others swore they saw a bright red blur shoot into and out of the building.

Secretary of Labor Lyndon LaRouche in an unknown location following the Capitol attack. LaRouche claimed to be Acting President and that, quote, "I'm in charge here!", unquote.

EDIT: whoops, I'm sorry, could someone please tell me how to move this to the photos of alternate world thread? Moderator, op please assist!

My take on an American version of Élite (granted it's in my Parliamentary US TL, but what can you do? *shrug*)

On a side note, can't wait for Élite S2

1864 US Presidential Election
This is an alternate 1864 in which the Confederates win in Gettysburg. Basically, after their win in Gettysburg, Britain and France recognize the Confederacy and as a result, the Confederacy kicks the Union's butt, taking all their lost territory, New Mexico (which they renamed Arizona), Kentucky, and West Virginia. The reason they didn't take DC was because it was too well-defended, with most of the Union forces focusing on recapturing their own territory and defending DC. Long story short, everyone was sick of the Civil War and just wanted peace. As such, Lincoln's determinism to end the war in a Union victory was seen as delusional, and McClellan was able to portray himself as a realist.

Edit: This is also a test of me using HTML to make wikiboxes. I'll probably switch between spreadsheet and HTML, depending on which I find more convenient.
