I couldn't have answered it better myself, @ZeroFrameThis is just childish. The people here who make wikiboxes make stuff that interests them individually. Heck, that's how this entire site works. All timelines, maps, wikiboxes, and lists are made because that person, not someone else is interested in that topic. If people wrote stuff other people like but not what they liked then well, we wouldn't have a lot of long running, excellent timelines here. The best timelines always have an incredible amount of passion behind it that drives the author to make it better and research it too often impressive degrees. For example, if I wrote a timeline about the Hundred Year War, it'd be terrible. I wouldn't have the motivation to write an interesting story or properly research it.
My basic point is, no one here is obligated to make what you like in the same way you're not obligated to make things other people like.
Have a wikibox!
Edward IV (October 13, 1453-October 9, 1522) was King of England from October 4th, 1454 to his death on October 9th, 1522. He was a central figure in the Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars in England fought between the Yorkist and Lancastrian factions between 1454 and 1461. He, unlike his father, was a great warrior and took back a large part of northern France during the Seven-Years War. Edward died two years after his son and so was succeeded by his grandson, Henry VII.
I wasn't sure how best to account for the votes in an FPTP setup, and while I originally wanted to use D'Hondte instead of strict proportional, I wasn't sure how to [/FONT]reverse discover the number of votes needed for each result.
What happened to North Japan which possibly under the Soviet influence? What happened to Shinkansen?During the past week the President had ordered the the reduction of American personnel in the United States mission in Japan, to levels that could be safely evacuated in the during an emergency, while enabling that mission to continue to fulfill its duties. During the day on Monday, Washington Time the airport in Tokyo came under persistent rocket as well as artillery fire and was effectively closed. The military situation in the area deteriorated rapidly. The President, therefore, ordered the evacuation of all remaining American personnel in Japan.------------------------------------

Americans have always taken casualties very seriously. When the number of casualties is too high, public opinion will boil up and condemn an operation as a failure, even if we get the upper hand militarily. Kuribayashi had lived in America. He knew our national character. That's why he deliberately chose to fight in a way that would relentlessly drive up the number of casualties. I think he knew American public opinion would shift toward wanting to bring the occupation of Japan to an eventual end.

The occupation situation has developed not necessarily to America's advantage, while the general trends of the world have all turned against its interest.

What happened to North Japan which possibly under the Soviet influence? What happened to Shinkansen?
What would be? Is it in the USA or UK or France where the country will build the world’s first high speed rail?You know what, no. I'm falling for the temptation that is Communist Hokkaido (why is it so sexy!?). I'm going with my initial idea for the scenario. The entirety of the Japanese Archipelago was nominally part of the American backed Republic of Japan. The Soviets, however, were able to install the People's Republic of Korea and the Soviet Socialist Republic of Manchuria, and both are very closely aligned to the USSR.
The Shinkansen never developed in this timeline, as the Republic of Japan is far poorer than OTL Japan. Most money went to reconstruction following Operation Downfall and the constant guerrilla fighting made railway development deeper inland problematic to say the least.
Probably the UK or France, and probably in the 70s instead of 60s, as the Marshall Plan was far smaller ITTL (as the US concentrated more in East Asia).What would be? Is it in the USA or UK or France where the country will build the world’s first high speed rail?
What about the Philippines? What would Tokyo/Edo look like today?
What happened to Tokyo Tower?Probably the UK or France, and probably in the 70s instead of 60s, as the Marshall Plan was far smaller ITTL (as the US concentrated more in East Asia).
The Philippines are relatively similar to OTL, but certainly more militarized, considering the status of Japan since 67.
The Second Imperial Restoration moved the capital back to Kyoto, and Tokyo was renamed Edo in an move to harken back to a time when Kyoto still held the most cultural significance. Edo has been considerably de-westernized, as the New Imperial State values a much more tradition pre-Meiji culture (ironic). This is not to say that this new Imperial State is a bunch of luddites. Most factories and manufactories were probably reutilize to serve the Imperial State. The concrete apartment complexes that are so emblematic of the Tokyo we know are not long for this world. In another touch of irony, the Daijo (Chancellor) in Kyoto operates essentially like a Shogun, as the all-powerful Imperial figure is simply a figurehead.
A long wiki box, but a scene setter to a Scottish-based timeline I've been playing about with for a while. Since it's explaining the current setup of the TL decided to make it a long (and hopefully interesting) box. I've got ideas for it, so hopefully will expand on it in times to come. Enjoy.
To come up with popular vote percentages that will lead to a given seat distribution under D'Hondt apportionment, increase each party's seat count by whatever number you want between 0 and 1, then divide the resulting values by their total.
I'm sorry, could you give me an example of what you mean?

1934 Argentine General Election
Basil III (23 April 1848 - 9 February 1903) was Romanian Emperor from January 2nd 1891 to 9 April 1903. The eldest and purple-born son of Andronikos IX and his wife Euphrosyne Doukaites, he seized the throne from his brother Isaac Komnenos Palaiologos upon the death of their father and was proclaimed emperor by the army and Senate in 1891. He came to power amidst a period of national upheaval—his early reign was marked by civil war and republican insurrection, while towards the middle and end of his reign he came into conflict with Persia in the Middle East and eventual general war with Russia-Poland in the Russo-Romanian War (1901-1902). Under his leadership Romania was however able to preserve her territorial integrity; however the emperor died of complications of a heart attack at the age of 54.
His era of rule is generally regarded as a transition between the conservative and tumultuous reign of his father Andronikos and the successive liberal reign of his son Demetrios. Modern historians regard him as a conservative absolutist owing to Basil's dictatorial tendencies at a time when Europe's sovereigns were conceding or had conceded much of their powers to their national legislatures. In contrast to such figures as the Saxon Elector, the King of Portugal, or even the Holy Roman Emperor, Basil ruled as an absolute monarch and kept in abeyance the short-lived constitution and legislature that his father Andronikos had suspended. He is also criticized for his solitary and excessive focus on military affairs; while he did personally direct and oversee crucial modernization efforts in the Roman military, his aloof attitude regarding domestic governance prolonged the corruption of his father's reign and allowed men such as Pavlos Papadopoulos and Stavros Leventis (the Roman Grand Logothete and Grand Duke, respectively) to accrue massive amounts of domestic power so long as they did not interfere with Basil's chosen area of supremacy, the military. He also kept the country diplomatically isolated from Europe during his thirteen-year reign; historians debate to this day the effectiveness of that policy, for although Romania avoided European diplomatic entanglements during his reign, it found itself with virtually no allies among the Great Powers of Europe, which certain historians blame as the reason for the harshness of the Great Powers at the Hanover Conference and the subsequent Treaty of Hanover (1902).
Despite these historical reassessments, during his reign and lifetime Basil was a popular monarch who reinvigorated Romanian monarchical sentiment through his own personal military achievement and leadership during a time of great upheaval, earning him the moniker Basil the Bold. A cavalryman by trade and experienced campaigner, he defended Romanian influence in the Middle East and personally led the Romanian army on the battlefield during wartime. He also ended the financial insolvency that his grandfather and great-uncle had placed upon the empire. Most importantly, however, the end of his reign also saw the rise of Theodora Komnena Palaiologina, a distant relation of the imperial family who would later go onto become the widely-perceived architect of the Demetrian Reforms promulgated by her husband and Basil's son and successor Demetrios V.
