How does someone do the thing that's sometimes done on Wikipedia, where instead of a picture for a candidate, they'll have the three letter shortening of the party's name in big letters and colored, like this

Instead of placing the link of the candidate image place the link for the party's logo? (or use paint?)

Some infoboxes about the Canadian province of Alaska in my mini-TL God Save The FSA:

alaskainfobox.png

Alaska (AK) is the northernmost and westernmost province of Canada. Sharing a 2,475 kilometre border with the Territory of Yukon to the east and also bordered by the province of British Columbia to the south, Alaska is otherwise surrounded by ocean; it is bordered by the Bering Straight to the west, the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south. Its provincial capital is Juneau and its largest city is Bering, which is the province's economic centre. In 2020, Alaska has an estimated population of 731,545, making it Canada's third least populous province, behind Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador. It has a total area of 1.717 million kilometres squared, making it Canada's largest province, although it is smaller than Canada's largest territory Greenland.

Alaska was occupied by various indigenous peoples for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The state is considered the entry point for the settlement of North America by way of the Bering land bridge. The Russians were the first non-native people to settle the area beginning in the 18th century, eventually establishing the colony of Alaska that spanned most of the current state. The colony was ceded to Great Britain in the aftermath of the Second Anglo–Russian War in 1859. Initially incorporated into the Northwestern Territories of Canada, the Territory of Alaska was established in 1891 and it was admitted to the Canadian Confederation as a province in 1900.

Alaska has a small provincial economy in comparison to other Canadian provinces, but its per capita income is among the highest in the country, thanks to a diversified economy dominated by fishing, natural gas, and oil, all of which it has in abundance. Tourism is also a significant part of its economy; more than half of the province consists of federally owned public land, which consists of a number of national forests, parks and refuges.

Alaska also has a hugely diverse population, with its indigenous population representing 19 percent of its total. Two dozen native languages are spoken, each of which is considered an official language by the provincial government. Russian is also still spoken by a small number of Alaskans, particularly in the far south of the province, and it is also considered one of Alaska's official languages, although English is spoken by the vast majority of the population.

Lisa Ann Murkowski (born May 22, 1957) is a Canadian politician who has been the Premier of Alaska since 2006. She has also served continuously as Leader of the Alaska Party in that same time frame. She has also been a Member of the Alaskan Assembly, representing the riding of Bering Griffin, since 2000.

Born and raised in Alaska, Murkowski is the daughter of Frank Murkowski, the last leader of the provincial Alaskan Progressive Conservatives and the founder of the Alaska Party. Murkowski entered federal politics before moving to provincial politics: she represented the federal riding of Bering Central from 1994 until 2000 as a Liberal Member of Parliament. She resigned her seat after being successfully elected to the Alaskan Assembly in the 2000 provincial election as a Progressive Conservative. In 2003, her father led the merger of the Progressive Conservatives and a number of centre-right Alaskan Liberals; Murkowski, alongside the other Progressive Conservative MLAs, have since represented the Alaska Party at provincial level. She served in the cabinet of her father's provincial government from 2003 until his retirement in 2006. Afterwards, she was elected as his successor unopposed and also became Premier of Alaska at the same time.

Murkowski has served continuously as Premier of Alaska for thirteen years, cementing her party's dominance in the province. The Alaska Party has been re-elected with majorities in the 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019 Alaskan elections under her leadership. At a federal level, like many former Progressive Conservatives, she is affiliated with the centre-right Liberal Party.

The Alaska Party is a centre-right to right-wing political party, based in the Canadian province of Alaska. Since the 2003 provincial election, it has been the province's governing party.

The party was established in 2003 by representatives of the Alaskan Progressive Conservatives and a number of centre-right Liberal MLAs, who were opposed to the Alaskan Liberal Party's perceived leftward shift in previous years. The central figure in the party's formation was Frank Murkowski, who was then Leader of the Opposition in the Alaskan Assembly and Leader of the Alaskan Progressive Conservatives; Murkowski would go on to serve as the party's first leader, after it was formed in March 2003. The party won a plurality of seats in the 2003 provincial election and formed a minority government; it has since won a majority in the Alaskan Assembly at every subsequent election. Since 2006, the party has been led by Murkowski's daughter, Lisa Murkowski. At the last provinicial election, the Alaska Party won 26 of the 40 seats in the Alaskan Assembly and formed its fourth consecutive majority government.

The party is generally considered to be on the right of the political spectrum, although it has also been described as a 'big tent' party. The party is not formally affiliated with any federal parties, although many of its members and elected representatives support the Liberal Party at a federal level.

Greater Virginia - Post Civil Rights Era
Conservative Democrats were dealt a blow in 1965 when Harry Byrd died and Governor Wally Barron sent Robert Byrd to reclaim his Senate seat. This left Senator Robertson as one of the men left standing from Byrd’s Organization, only to be defeated himself by easterner William Sprong who had been pushed by Lyndon Johnson personally. Conservative Democrats would be a largely dying breed in Virginia after the passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act, only for the Republican revival to arrive as seen throughout the South. In the 1969 election, Linwood Holton became the first Republican Governor of Virginia since Reconstruction. As more easterners became Republicans, William Sprong lost much of his support base and would be replaced with Jennings Randolph in the 1972 election. Former Democratic Lt. Governor Mills Godwin would follow Holton as Governor in the 1973 elections. Democrat Jay Rockefeller would be elected Governor next, and strong western support would help Robert Byrd survive the Republican shift, but Randolph wouldn’t be so lucky; in the 1978 midterms, Republican and Former Secretary of the Navy John Warner would be elected to the Senate.

The 1976 Election
After the resignation of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, who had been appointed Vice President to replace Spiro Agnew, became the only President elected to neither the Presidency or Vice Presidency. President Ford sought a conciliatory and moderate path as President, which would eventually lead to a revolt of conservative Republicans towards Governor Ronald Reagan. Ford would win a narrow victory in the New Hampshire primaries against Reagan and continue to win primaries through Illinois in March of 1976. And then, backed by Senator Jesse Helms, Reagan would win an upset in North Carolina resurrecting a campaign that was nearly dead. April would prove more favorable to President Ford, but the first two weeks of May would be brutal as Ford lost* every contest from May 1st until the Maryland and Michigan primaries on May 18th. Ford would rally again in his home state of Michigan and in Maryland, only to lose every single state on May 25th. On the last day of primaries, Ford would win New Jersey without contest and Rhode Island to offset the losses in California, Montana, South Dakota and (very narrowly) Ohio. Going into the Convention, Ford had a narrow lead in the popular vote and based on the popular vote in each state should have had a delegate lead of 775-699 from the primaries. However, in this time period the method for nominating convention delegates could result in dedicated supporters of the victorious candidate able to stack state delegations further than would be “expected” after the primary; especially when many primaries were ‘advisory’ instead of ‘binding’. This could be seen in states like Texas, Georgia, and California where President Ford should have netted around 100 delegates from his performance in the primary, only for every delegate to back Reagan in the Convention. Ford would also benefit from this in states like Wisconsin and New Hampshire, but Reagan’s margins in bigger states, and the enthusiasm of his supporters more than made up the difference between Ford and Reagan. With his surprising strength in the primaries, Reagan supporters would also storm the Republican caucuses, like the state of Virginia, to show their support at the Convention. In an attempt to win over moderate delegates, Reagan announced Senator Richard Schweiker as his running mate which did lead to some conservative delegates feeling betrayed. Trying to repair the damage, the Reagan forces pushed a Convention rule forward requiring that Ford also announce a running mate before the Presidential vote. Despite the Ford team’s efforts, this measure passed around 100 delegates. Rushing to meet the requirement before the balloting, President Ford’s team announced Bill Ruckelshaus who had resigned as Deputy Attorney General during the Saturday Night Massacre; a clear play to shore up moderate delegates while representing the clean break from the Nixon Administration. This did help keep Conservatives in the Reagan camp and Reagan would win the nomination 1203-1044. President Ford did take the time to give a magnanimous concession speech that called for unity; a move that would leave even his conservative critics with fond words for the President.

Reagan’s big strength was his Hollywood career which trained him for a televised campaign. This would help to mute some of the Carter campaigns allegations of Goldwaterite extremism from Reagan. Reagan, being a Governor outside of Washington, didn’t hurt when it came to marking a break from the corruption of the Nixon era. But as a Democrat, and a New South Governor, JImmy Carter had the edge on the nation’s perception of changing from that past. So while Reagan would do well at the first Presidential debate since 1960, helping to appease the country that he wasn’t some sort of lunatic, Carter would still maintain a lead in polls. The other Presidential debates would be more of the same, with Reagan pitching himself to the nation at large without crippling the Carter campaign. The Vice Presidential debate between Mondal and Schweiker would be considered a rather dull affair. When polls closed on election day it was clear the result was going to be close and the popular vote would be very narrow. Jimmy Carter would be declared the winner early the following morning after much of the Midwest broke for Governor Carter.

*Ford won the IOTL West Virginia primary that does not exist ITTL. I have shifted all primary margins on May 18th and 25th, 1976 by 2.2 points (the average difference between West Virginia and Nebraska on that date) away from Ford to Reagan. After Reagan’s ITTL romp on May 25th, I bumped this to 5.2 points for the June 1st primaries.

I always wondered why Canada never took Alaska
Russia wanted to make sure Britain didn’t get it, so agreed to sell it to the USA. In this TL, Britain grab it before they think of doing that.

Shoot, that was meant to be Anglo–Russian. Have fixed that now.

Charles III is OTL Prince Charles. He succeeded his mother on the throne when she passed away in 2012 in this universe.

The Maritimes were occupied by American forces in the Anglo–American War. Whilst Canada held on to Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are now the states of New Scotland and Acadia in the Federated States of America, having been ceded by Great Britain at the end of the war in the early 19th century.
 
I don't think he would use that as is regnal name. I think the consensus is that he will likely use George.
There have been suggestions that he would IOTL, but he hasn't confirmed nor denied it either way. I think it would be nice to have a Charles III after having so many Georges since the last so ITTL he uses Charles as his regnal name.
