I wonder why Florida isn't part of the US? Is it still a Spanish colony or is it an independent country?Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue
uhh here's a socialist America that's sort of based off of the Russian's revolution.
...
and I love you.
I swear I meant to call Virgini in the message earlier but I realize I didn’t . Would you be willing to have me throw in some ideas? You called it first so you’d have final control, I just wait to get some ideas out there.
I’m planing on setting up the thread this evening.
"We couldn't even prevent the Reds from taking Canada, how are we supposed to deal with them in the states?"

The Imperial Union of Latium
@Tarabas
The Lacon-Gunale family presided over the free territories from the 9th century to 1230, when the Medicis took over. Most of Tyrseny was united by the Medicis through the Latin League, the Tuscan League, the Italian League and other similar alliances. The most significant self defence war of Tyrseny was waged off shore against Spanish forces that aimed to control the islands and the southern third of the Appennines. This war lasted for several centuries on and off. When the fights were long over, Tyrseny simply annexed Sicily, disregarding the local dynasty. And then Napoleon finished the reunification of the territories of the peninsula and the islands. For this, he was elected Emperor of Latium.
Within Tyrseny, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily have what we'd call devolved regional autonomy, but their historical autonomy has just never been revoked.
The office of the head of Latium
- ???? - 1799: Prince
- 1799-1821: Emperor (Napoleon I & Napoleon II)
- 1821-1848: President
- 1848-1852: Prince-President (Napoleon III)
-1852-1870: Emperor (Napoleon III)
- 1870 - : President
Full names of the associated countries
- Realm of Tyrseny
- Principality of Macaronésia
- Principality of The Kerguélens
- The Most Serene Commune of Saints Anselm and Paul
- The Golden Ambrosian Commune of the Bouvet Island
Other earlier protectorates of the Latin Federation
- Columbia (1492-1499)
- Terranova (1497-1501)
- Little Venice (1499-1522)
- Arcadia (1524-15??)
Macaronesia left the State of the Sea in 1951, Bouvet Island left in 1955 and finally it was dissolved later the same year. The only remainder of the State of the Sea is the South Sea Solidus Aurus and the national calling codes of the three southern polities.
Ineterstingly, the State of the Sea was a very successfull nation, in terms of national unity and a sense of national pride in their common future and it was dissolved due to the long distance between the archipelagos but it's still regarded with nostalgia.
These territories have never been colonies, only protectorates at best. They were considered 'not Tyrseny' and therefore were allowed to develope their own national characteristics.
The confederation
- share a free travel zone,
- a common market,
- common defence,
- they have common political institutions (parliament, government and president).
The associated states
- have separate citizenship,
- separate but pegged currencies,
- separate sports teams,
- have the right to succeed,
- are separate monarchic realms,
- have separate responsibility to good government,
- have separate right to highest legislation,
- are signatories of international treaties and members of international organisations on their own rights.
They have international responsibility for themselves and full right to conduct their own foreign policies, however the Union acts on behalf of the associated countries in foreign affairs at their explicit advice and consent. Other than Tyrseny, Macaronésia conducts the largest percentage of her foreign affairs by herself, though not 100% of it.
The cooperation and unity of the associated countries are considered good, only The Kerguélens could be called a sort of a 'black sheep'. A separatist movement has been building up since the '50s which has a strong, strident and youthful energy to it.
Political parties
- Moderate Party (1848): Centrist party.
- Worker's Party (1882): Classical labour party.
- Socialist Party (1892): Big tent democrats and popularists.
- Republican Party (1895): Concerned with the entirety of the Union.
- Radical Party (1904): Traditionalist party.
- Liberal Party (1922):
- Greens (1978):
- Party of the South (2007): Party founded by citizens of Bouvet, The Kerguélens and Saints Anselm and Paul to have a larger share of representation.
- Progressive Party (2017):

The 2022 parliamentary election in Banat was held on 5 June 2022 to elect the members of the National Council. The snap election was called after a motion of no confidence resulted in the downfall of the minority government of Helmut Weinschrott.
The main center-right parties of the four primary ethnic electorates that participated in the outgoing government--the German People's Party, Conservative Party, People's Alliance, and Hungarian Democratic Movement--saw no gains. Left-leaning parties of social democratic, democratic socialist, and environmentalist ideological backgrounds were generally seen as having had the most success, though nationalist parties like the Romanian National Union and National Swabian Bloc also saw high levels of support from voters. The National Council saw the addition of a new political party as the liberal Our Civic Duty of the Serb electorate took four seats. Overall, 20 parties of the four main electorates reached the 3% threshold that qualified them for seats under the D'Hondt method.
The social democratic parties were in a stronger position to lead talks with all parties in the National Council. After weeks of negotiations, the formation of a new minority government under the leadership of the Hungarian István Pásztor was announced. The majority of positions were filled by the Social Democratic Party, Alliance of Social Democrats, Social Democratic Union, and Progressive Democratic Party. The main agrarian parties--the League of Independent Farmers, Agrarian League, and Peasants Party--were given additional positions. The new government entered into confidence and supply agreements with the Banat Socialist Bloc, The Greens, and the five elected representatives of the minority electorates. When the vote to install the new government occurred, the representatives of United Banat abstained, the new government was sworn in on 29 July 2022.

Here 2023 is 1789
Facing unprecedented fiscal instability, the kingdom is near total ruining. Even tho his power in his domain is without equals even among his fellow european monarchs, the young King, helped by his main minister, reformist banker from Switzerland Jacques Necker, has only one choice: to start taxing the nobility and the clergy. This decision would put into question the very social order of the country and to do so, even the King needs the approval of the parliament, a very archaic institution representing each of the three Estates and wich can only meet at the King's pleasure
The King summoned parliament to gather for the first time in 150 years (!) in the summer of 2022, the Estates need one year to pick their representatives and to send them to Versailles. Who know what will happen in this explosive environnement

Seriously yeah Im thinking about doing some thibgs about further events
Some good ol' Bourbon France finally.
Imagine this type of representation in a contemporary scene:
Have so many questions in mind, do they have any overseas territories, don't even know where to start.
Would love to follow if there's a TL!
