Two and a half months later, you have my take on this idea.Allow me to set the mood.
Same guy different parties?
The last president being a democrat is just my snipping being a bit too wide and "Challenge trump" can honestly mean anything in the episode's context from at the primaries to at election day.But didn't the guy say he wanted to challenge Trump?
Also, from the wikibox, it looks like the last president was a Democrat.
I need to know so much more about this world.Two and a half months later, you have my take on this idea.
Excellent, excellent series! I must confess I'm a little confused what the state of the government is, though: the page intro says the Popular Republican Party formed a coalition, but the accompanying infobox has Franz Wilhelm as Chancellor, and the election has the Chancellor as vacant… is this just a mistake, or is there a story here?Wikipedia page on Prussia:

Aha. Very interesting, thanks!The PRP-lead coalition was able to pass legislation as it had control of the Reichstag, though it had trouble with the Reichsrat, so it couldn't get a lot done. More importantly, the KDP was not able to do so, so they were effectively in opposition. As the first Chancellor to lose control of government in over 90 years, Franz Wilhelm resigned his position in the aftermath of the election. However, the king refused to appoint Müller as Chancellor, and insisted that Wilhelm return to office; he refused, believing he had failed the crown and that other options should be considered. The position was vacant until after Friedrich IV's assassination and the breakout of the civil war in June, at which point the ruling regency council again appointed Wilhelm as Chancellor, which he now accepted.
marry meSo, interesting thing I learned while making that last infobox: Count Nikolay Ignatyev spent part of his career working to break the Ottomans in Europe and gain independence for its Christian subjects, which consequently made him extremely popular in Bulgaria— to the extent he was viewed as a potential candidate for the Bulgarian throne. Of course, that never happened… but what if it did?
