The Lhasa was a typo, meant for that to be winter Olympics.

Again: are you trying to kill your athletes. Lhasa is 12,000 feet above sea level. That's twice the elevation of Denver, and athletes have trouble adjusting to the altitude and pressure there.

Miami was also for a brief time in the 1910s and 20s the capital of the United States due to the destruction of Washington D.C., and the occupation of Chicago and Philadelphia by New York, New English, British, and German forces.

Miami only had a population of 5,000 people according to the 1910 Census. St. Louis, New Orleans, Omaha, Denver, San Francisco and Los Angeles would make much more sense.

This is for a TL I will post sometime in the next week or two.

An independent New York. Yes, New York, New York is the anthem.

Interesting - what was New York before it became a republic? Who was the royal family?

not to mention that Tibet is too small and too poor of a country to host the games. unless, of course, it conquered a decent amount of good land.

The First Republic (1894-1896)
Confederation (1896-2011)
Second Republic (2011-Present Day)

President Carl Sagan, arguably the most popular President in the late 20th Century, he is the first President to have absolutely no political affiliation prior to taking office, and is the last President to be elected to a second term (The other, James Matthias, was overthrown in his second term). He revolutionized New York's role in the science and technology field, making New York one of the most powerful countries scientifically. He set up a Hadron Collider on Long Island, and planned a Spaceport similar to Richard Branston's in upstate New York, that is now under construction.

He is one of the worlds most renowned scientists as well.

President Ferraro, who won the 1996 Presidential election against New York Assemblyman Al D'Amato quite easily. She was Sagan's Vice President, and took over his last two months in office due to his passing away. Ferraro was well known as a 'Social Warrior', for revolutionizing New York's Housing and Urban Development Department. She also partially inspired the 2011 National Revolution, which took place months after her death.

Speaking of elections...

Speaking of elections...

There seems to be an error with the seat numbers for the conservatives.

By the way, it looks better if you do 1-2-4-5 instead of 1-2-3-4.

Good thing that I still had it open. Fixed.

President Mario Cuomo, who ITTL would have a similar influence on New York that Ronald Reagan would have on the US IOTL, is considered one of New York's best Presidents. He led the country through ending nearly a century of struggle and opposition to the United States, and in 1984, signed the Bethlehem Agreement, where relations between the United States and New York were at last normalized. In accordance with the Agreement, the Pocono Mountains were to be vacated of New York and British forces, ending 38 years of occupation, and the city of Bethlehem, New Jersey, was handed over to the US State of Pennsylvania.

The area remains a demilitarized zone, dedicated to peace.

The National Revolution, or the event that ended the Confederation of New York. Andrew Cuomo and his cohorts in the National Republican movement (A union between the now dissolved Democratic and Conservative parties) overthrows President Matthias' Popular Front after 6 years in power. This happens weeks after it is found out that Matthias cheated Rudy Giuliani out of a re-election in 2005, and blackmailed opponents in 2008 to win the election. The National Republican Party and the Occupy Movement work together to overthrow Matthias.

The Republic is declared on 19 October, and on 25 October, Matthias is arrested.

I love the Occupy Movement being a part of this.

And of course, this TL's Vietnam War equivalent.

Casualties were high for both sides. And yes, Che lives, at the cost of Raul.

From the Wikipedia article:

Stringer was elected [[mayor of New York City]] in 2013. New York seceded from the United States (as part of the [[breakup of the United States]]) during his term, and a few months after New York became an independent state, the [[New York City Council]] approved a referendum for New York City to secede. In 2014 New York City formally seceded from New York, and the city council elected Stringer as provisional president.

If he can make it here, he can make it anywhere.

Just imagine if Dan Quayle sings God Bless America at the Olympics, and you have Vice President Sinatra at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.

He was chosen by Ed Koch to be Vice President during the hotly contested 1968 election between Ed Koch and Conservative Party member Jacob K. Javits. Koch won on a platform of ending the Cuban War, which is how he convinced Sinatra to go on as his running mate. They succeeded fellow Democrat John Lindsay, who started the war, and caused a rift in New York's Democratic Party that brought it further to the left.

Sinatra resigned after New York went into a massive amount of debt by 1971, and by 1972, President Koch selling the North Country to pay for war expenses (It would be like Nixon selling Washington State to fund the Vietnam War). Sinatra resigned in 1974 officially after calling for New York to invade and recapture the North Country. Koch, confident he could win a 3rd Term as a wartime President in 1976, faced Frank Sinatra as a Democratic challenger in the primaries. Sinatra won the nomination, but due to Koch running as an Independent, lost the election to Daniel E. Button.

Sinatra returned to acting and singing after the 1976 Presidential election. In 1994, President Sagan, in an effort to expand New York's Media Empire to combat California, created the EBC, or the Excelsior Broadcasting Company, which would own nearly a dozen Excelsior Channels (Excelsior 1, Excelsior 2, Excelsior History, Excelsior Science, Excelsior Nature, Excelsior Kids, etc.) Frank Sinatra decided to accept the job as its first 'Director', and centralized New York's public TV.
