That's gotta be one of the most cursed aged photoshop job that I have ever seen.

Ah, a New England and Virginia was under English influence, while the Dutch, the Spanish and the French are up for the rest
I know it's FDR, but did Grand Moff Tarkin take over....
@ETGalaxy, been meaning to ask about your Proletarian Presidents series: how did Tillman become President anyway?
P.S. I think that's something I would like to be explored further in this series, considering that Tillman was seen as "the voice of the dissatisfied in the nation", was considered closer to the Progressive movement than the Bourbon Democrats, and sought to propel his 1896 presidential candidacy on the backs of Southern and Western pro-silver voters.

In descending order of number of deputies:
1-The NPP, "New People's Party" is a christian democratic party operating between the centre and the centre-right. At the national level, the party is seen as the eternal ally of the PRD centre-right Liberals, but at the local and provincial level it sometimes works with the PS and the Greens.
2-PD!, "Wake up Picardy!" Is the dominant liberal regionalist party in Picardy and is led by a certain Emmanuel Macron. It is constantly allied with the PRD at national level and agreed that one could not enter a government without the other. It brings together an electorate ranging from centre-left social liberals to moderate conservatives and autonomists. (It's also a joke, in OTL "PD!" is a left-wing party allied to Mélenchon and whose leader and Macron have despised each other since their school days)
3-LV "The Greens", is the completely stereotypical random Western European environmentalist party. They are divided between realists and moderates and crazy boomers who have never fully emerged from their hippie phase.
4-LG, "The Left", is an alliance between former communists who finally understood that the proletarians' revolution would never take place and converted to parliamentary democracy and between democratic socialists disappointed by the moderation of the PS. They remain quite marginal, with the working class electorate now belonging more to the far right of the MC or Tricolor
5-Tricolor is an extreme right-wing francophone rattachist party. They are somewhat seen as the revisionist conspiracy theorist Nazis of the class and constantly question the very legal existence of the country.
6-AI "Identity Alliance", is an alliance between the Groot-Neerlandische Beweging and the Parti Nacionnal d'el Picardie, two far-right regionalist identitarian parties. They hate each other and never talk to each other but have agreed that at national level their interests somewhat converge.
(no logo, the only thing they ever agreed on was the name)

That's a good question! I haven't put a ton of thought into the US between the POD and the Second Revolution beyond the broad strokes and details necessary to reach the circumstances for the revolution, but the main idea I have is that Tillman wins the nomination by basically being the pro-silver populist seeking the Democratic nomination in 1896 due to William Jennings Bryan sticking with the People's Party. By dominating the south, attracting moderate-to-socially conservative populists in the Midwest and West, and throwing in a dose of political violence on election day, Tillman narrowly wins a majority in the electoral college in both 1896 and 1900.
POD: Eric Saward gets his way on the script that became "The Ultimate Foe" in OTL, and Season 23 ends with an inconclusive cliffhanger where the Doctor and the Valeyard plunge to an uncertain doom, a la Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty. This 'hook' to keep audiences engaged has the opposite effect, and the BBC capitalizes on public (and fan) discontent to cancel a declining show they view as a headache.
This has a number of knock-on effects. The egotistical Sixth Doctor proves less engaging to fans than the scheming chess-master Seventh Doctor, leaving fandom to focus on the "Classic" Doctors. This backwards-looking perspective blossoms into a much more nostalgia-driven fandom. These two facts combine to make the ongoing novels less experimental than OTL, less willing to prototype ideas that might one day be used in a revival series. Although Colin Baker distinguishes himself in radio plays, he's much more stigmatized ITTL. He also gets fewer chances to show off his chops — with Baker and Davison the only living & willing former Doctors, audio plays are thinner on the ground. There's less new material to sustain fandom and, vitally, fan interest as the years grind onwards. Most importantly, the show doesn't have a short-lived renaissance under Andrew Cartmel (who himself never makes a career for himself as a writer ITTL), so there's never a glimmer of how good it could be again. The lingering impression of Doctor Who was of a show that was good for its time but that time passed it by.
Circa 2021, Doctor Who is the British Flash Gordon: a buzzword for hokey sci-fi that nobody under 30 has ever watched.
At the very least, this completely eradicates Chibnall Who.

Decided the Kennedy Center kind of looks like an authoritarian legislative building, so I made it one.
I’m guessing President Wayne Morse became too much of a peacenik and got toppled by the likes of Edwin Walker.
A bit late and nitpicking, but I think if you should use the same transliteration (pinyin) for all of these people if it’s a unified China, i.e. Ke Wenjie instead of Ko Wen-je. Of course, you could always use Wade-Giles for everyone to be more hipster.
