I imagine that after they have a secure hold on the colonies, Red France will probably make Soviet-style autonomous Republics in Africa
I like that idea. Do they retain Kufra and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan?

The Middle East after the Ottoman Civil War
This is my idea for the states that might be created after the Ottoman Civil war (1935-?)
This will be changed/fixed on the 2019 map. I doubt Belgium would reunify again.
An interesting idea here, but I think I'll stick with International West Thrace...
What about an isolationist US during World War II?
I don't like it that much. The Pan-Arab state should include Hejaz, and Kurdistan and Assyria (at least in this form) should be part of the Ottoman Empire. You'll see my proposal on the 2019 map this night.
That is a good idea indeed.
@mikroraptor , actually I like the Pontus idea as long as it is a Russian!Nazi (Belaist?) puppet state created with the support of the regime in Moscow.
EDIT: The same could apply to Armenia and Assyria on your map.

I like the Israel, but it could go a bit south, I don't think Lebanon was ever on anyone's plans. I could see a lot of fighting over the negev.
I agree, Communism always billed itself as Anti-Colonialist, so I can't imagine Communist France keeping colonies.
Well, they won't call them colonies, but "closely allied Communes". De jure independent though, and there you are right.

@ETGalaxy and @InfernoMole , what was your opinion on a parliamentary (more OTL Europe-like) America again? Maybe, in order to not totally destroy the electoral system that the US has in OTL, what do you think of a county-level FPTP system? In OTL, it is on a state level, but here - of course without an electoral college, as that would really mean far too many seats - every county/township is a "state" on its own and whoever carries that county wins it.
And whoever carries most of the population is the new POTUS.
What do you think of this election system?

Amusingly, I was actually planning on using almost exactly the same system as that for a different project of mine
I imagine that, with FPTP on a county level, there could well be more than two viable parties. Not that many - maybe four or five - but more than two.
And maybe some localised parties, too (e.g. a Mormon Democratic party or so, winning counties of Utah but not much else)?

You could maybe have a Progressive Party (far left) a Democrat Party (far right) a Republican party (moderate right) a libertarian party (moderate left), the Mormon Democratic party, and maybe even something like a Native American Rights party
Political Parties in the United States
Good ideas already!
I would propose - the party names are provisional (as is nearly everything else):
Socialist Workers' Party (Orthodox Marxist, pro-France, state atheist)
Socialist Party (far-left, democratic socialism, some factions pro-Japan/EAWPS, Laicist)
Democratic-Labour Party (left-wing to centre-left, social democrat in an European sense, some factions left-wing populist)
American Christian Alliance (centre)/Mormon Christian Union (centre, only runs in Utah - the CSU of the US)
American Nature (centre, ecologist, conservative, Christian Democratic, some factions more left-wing)
Libertarian Party (extreme centre, libertarian, pro-civil rights, "Freedomite" (i.e. for utmost freedom in every aspect))
Republican Party (centre-right, market liberalism, fiscal conservatism, civic nationalism)
Native American Movement (centre-left to left-wing, Native American rights)
African Solidarity Union (left-wing to far-left, nevertheless Christian, African-American rights)
American Party (right to far-right, American nationalist, social conservatism, Christian Identity politics, pro-Life, factions are pro-Manifest Destiny and anti-German, the most radical factions openly Romanist and/or Belaist)

I can see the abolition of the electoral college, but a parliamentary United States ain’t happening any time soon. The county idea could maybe work, but that could become really convoluted.
@InfernoMole and I have already played around with the major parties. As of the 1940s, the big three are the Democratic-Labor Party (populism and social democracy), the Republican Party (market liberalism), and the American Party (social conservatism). Let’s fully develop the early 20th Century United States and go from there.
I meant this county-FPTP as a non-parliamentary system where multiple parties could still exist. I reckon that all parties that I listed could at least win one seat in Congress...
Of course I'll mind this in my party list.
@mikroraptor , actually your idea of "whipping up an election map" was superb. We should just make the GOP more centrist and pro market liberalism, and rename the Progressive into "Democratic-Labour Party".
Maybe, but a lot of them probably wouldn’t exist ITTL. The Progressive Party especially has no reason to exist if the DLP also exists.
Let’s figure out what 1920s through 1940s politics look like first. We haven’t even finished designing WWII ITTL, so determining the 2019 political parties is getting ahead of ourselves.
