United States of America
Anyways, any questions regarding the wider world, folks?
Does the Russian State control all of the former Russian Empire's territories or not?
Also, how deep does the relationship between Wayland and Antonova go?
Well, the Second Weltkrieg was a victory for the Kaiserreich in the Western Front with the Third Internationale destroyed. However, the SPD-led German Empire and the increasingly right-wing and authoritarian Entente couldn't agree on what post-Syndicalist Britain and France should look like with Germany turning their occupation zone in Britain into a Republic of Great Britain led by a coalition of Labour and left-Liberals and installing Victoria Louise as Queen in their occupation zone in France after attempts at ironing out a compromise on the fate of these two countries failed and the rest is history.Since the Second Weltkreig appears to be a Kaiserreich vs Russian Pact, would the Entente and the Second Internationale be around? Or given the stronger Entente means the return of the United Kingdom and the fall of syndicalism?

Aside from the fact that we filter in favor of sociopaths by forcing them to wade through an electoral process from hell to get to power, this is basically OTL in the US.Yes, please PM me everything I need to make a cover.
Idea: a country where the Chief Executive, and possibly the legislature, are all picked by lottery. I’m thinking a North African Roman successor state, where the system started out as augury (to prevent the constant power struggles, let the gods decide), which later became a national lottery involving every eligible citizen. There are limits to eligibility (age is one), to prevent toddlers, the clinically insane, and convicts from becoming Chief Executive. Every eligible citizen must register, and they must serve out their term; this is to prevent situations like the one day when fifty Chief Executives were selected and subsequently resigned.
How does this all work out? Well, what happened is that an entrenched political elite of perpetual civil servants, lobbyists, influence mongers, and other (for lack of a better term) swamp creatures have arisen and prey on the inevitably-out of their element chief executive/legislators. Most Chief Executives are normal people who just keep the old bureaucracy in place, rubber stamp laws and regulations, and do whatever else the “experts” tell them. Some have done weird things in pursuit of personal interests, like one using his bully pulpit to demand story changes to a popular science fiction series, or another using the intelligence services to harass her ex. They’re allowed this by the bureaucracy in exchange for the bureaucracy being allowed to do what it pleases. Reformers tend to be intimidated or bribed into stepping in line.
That reminds me: The Infantocracy, where all politicians and government employees must be 11 years old or younger! And before anyone else makes the obvious joke, no, immature adults do not count. Their actual, chronological age must be under 12, and as soon as they turn 12, they must step down or be immediately ousted. Has anyone done an episode on this before?There are limits to eligibility (age is one), to prevent toddlers

"After the revolution, the adults and teenagers were sent to toil in the factories, making legos and ice cream day and night. It was here that they quietly plotted their revenge."I’m not sure such a government would last long without a group of adults running the show behind the scenes.

Kaiser Reich. Surprised they didn't try to retake New England. I usually did.
That is correct. Besides, New England was the site of quite a few flashpoints of the Kalterkrieg as a result of pro-reunification terrorism and activism being blamed by Ottawa on Washington D.C.Realistically, I don't think the USA would be in the state for an offensive war for a long time.
