Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes V (Do Not Post Current Politics Here)

Once again, a marvelous election infobox on my home nation! This Germany is a republic, isn't it?
What were the main issues in this campaign that the SPD and its allied parties gained so many seats, and from all areas of the political spectrum?
Also, how far right is the National Coalition really? What would their main policies be?
How strong is Austrian regionalism/separatism ITTL? Also, why does Hannover have any regionalism - does the DHP support Anglophone interests (e.g. protecting English as a minority language or something)? I find Baden or Württemberg, Holstein or even the Rhineland more likely to have regionalism than Hannover...
Also, how big are the differences between the coalition allies? For example, how different are SPD, DSL, BLA, PPK and SPÖ? Or German and Austrian Greens?
Also, what are the policies of Preußischer Bauernbund and Agrarliga and what separates the two agrarianist parties? Why do they see themselves unable or are unwilling to join a coalition?
Joe Biden as part of the Labor Party? Because of that American politicians are a bit more left-wing ITTL than their OTL equivalents I presume?
Edit: Also could you make the infoboxes for the American parties if you feel up to it?
Oh no, gosh no. You've made a dystopia a reality: the Velvet Hammer in charge of a whole nation.
Yeah they are somewhat more left-wing though Biden is still definitely from the more moderate wing of the party.
I’ll probably make the party info boxes fairly soon.
What was the Rhineland War about? Who fought in it - just Germany and France (I presume those two at least did fight?), or was it more multipolar? What governments led Germany and France, and the potential other combatant powers, during the Rhineland War?
Also, what was the Cologne Conference in 1990?

The Rhineland War was a large uprising of both Socialist and Fascist insurgencies in 1940-41 that led to the North German government completely losing control over the area. It raged for several months and occasionally spilled out into neighboring countries until a coalition of French, British, Dutch, and American troops entered and seized control over the area. The North German government fell a few months later in the Berlin Riots and led to the 1941-46 North German Civil War. The Rhineland War is considered when America became a world power in its own right.
The 1990 Cologne Conference was held to deal with issues arising from the USSR’s fall in 1985. It led primarily to a wide expansion of the League of Nations and the starting of the New Age after the Cold War.
What government existed in North Germany? What came after the collapse and civil war? Which factions fought this civil war?
Also, what did South Germany (or Austria, or the states in Southern Germany or whatever) do? Did it remain stable?
North Germany was set up after The Great War as a republic. The Civil War was fought between Socialist and right-wing forces with General Gerd von Rundstedt winning and seizing control as a dictator. Rundstedt would also reestablish the monarchy in the North in 1949 which still exists to today. The Rhineland War also led to the establishment of the Rhineland Autonomous Republic, which while is technically still part of North Germany is mostly independent and even has a seat in the League of Nations.
South Germany, which while originally didn’t came to include Austria, was dealing with insurgencies but was able (largely through aid from the West) to keep itself afloat for the most part and didn’t fall apart.
Does the dictatorship (a military dictatorship I guess, if von Rundstedt established it?) still exist, too?
Why was North Germany opposed by the West - because it was socialist or communist?
Also interesting. Is South Germany democratic? What does it include?
Von Rundstedt dies in 53 and North Germany is ruled by a junta until 82 when it democratized. The West supported the North German Republic (like South Germany) but by the time of the Rhineland War it was pretty much a failed state and it was clear it couldn’t support itself for very much longer. They nominally supported von Rundstedt when it became clear he was going to win the Civil War.
South Germany is a democracy including Bavaria, Baden-Wurttenburg, and Austria after 1951.
That's really cool! Is it federal, or rather unitary? I think you should make the next infobox about South Germany!
The beginning of what will be a very long project, a list of English/British monarchs from The Sun Never Set. I decided to start simple with the monarchs of the 20th and 21st centuries. The portraits for Richard VI and Henrietta are blank because frankly I don't know what to do with them.

I really like how thoroughly you've built up the world surrounding your story. Do you think we'll ever see a world map?
I hope so at some point. Still a lot of blank spots, but I'd just need to sit down at some point to do it.
Canadian election for my Führerreich TL part 1, feat. Iggy
Federal elections were held in Canada on 18 May 2019 to elect all 331 members of the House of Commons. In what was described as the most divided election in Canadian history, the centre-right Unionists ("Tories") and the centre-left Liberal-Labour-Progressives ("LLPs" or "Grits") were one seat off from a tie. As it was required to work with Front Québécois in order to form a majority without forming a national unity government or another cross-centre coalition, and none of the other parties wanted to work with the Front Québécois or form a national unity government, several coalitions were proposed but all were eventually rejected. For a while, it seemed almost likely a "blue and green" coalition could be formed between the Unionists, Socreds, and Greens, but the Greens were reluctant to work with the right-wing populist Socreds. Eventually coalition talks broke down and new elections were called for September

Well, looking it up, Prince George has a picture on wiki, but his younger siblings do not, so I suppose it's logical that their pictures weren't released.
Query: I apologize if this was asked before, but how did Henry XII get Sainted? Also, it occurs to me, King-Emperor John's religion is listed as "Christianity"; was there no Protestant Reformation or Great Schism ITTL?
