Political Parties in the rest of the United States:
The Federal Coalitions operating at general Federal level and also in the Districts. And also the Parties operating at Confederal and State level.

Federal Level:
Red-Green Socialist Front: Big tent, left-wing coalition. Won at the Districts of Columbia, Mojave and Navajo in the last election. Considered, along with the CDU, to be the "important" political party. (17 states + 2 republics and 3 districts)
Liberal-Progressive Alliance: Big tent, economically right--wing, socially left-wing. The third largest party but considered a minor one. (5 states)
Conservative Democratic Union: The right-wing big tent coalition. the other "major" party. currently the largest in the Senate. Descendants of Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans. (18 states + 2 republics and 2 districts)
Centrist Coalition: Party of political centrism. Mostly continuation of the National Union (the CC party in 3 different confederations, disregarding the "traitors" in Hawaii who have joined the CDU). Keeping the USA united is their main goal. (2 states + District of Sequoyah)
Alianza de Español: Spanish/Hispanic minority interests party. surprisingly successful for a party that does not operate in most of the US. (State of Baja California and District of Puerto Rico)

Confederal and State Level:

Confederation of the Mid-Atlantic States (Atlantica):
Member States:
State of New York
State of New Jersey
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
State of Delaware
Parties:

People's Party: Also known as "the Populists", is the Socialist Front party in Atlantica. Won in New York and Delaware in the last election. It was pretty narrow in New York.
Progressive Party: Party of Roosevelts. While weakened in the rest of the Confederation, still very popular in New York. Seen as the counterweight against the Populists there, while in the rest of the Confederation Conservatives have that role.
Whigs: A politically centrist party that is less focused on Unionism part of the Centrist Coalition and more on the Centrism part. Barely won in New Jersey as the competition between Populists and Progressive made the race more equal for all parties, leading in the end of the Whigs barely beating the Conservatives.
Conservative Party: Barely won in Pennsylvania and wasn't much behind the winners in Delaware and New Jersey, giving them hope for the next elections. CDU member.

Confederation of the Carolinas:
Member States:
State of North Carolina
State of South Carolina
Parties:
National Union: Direct continuation of the Civil War era National Union. Leftiest major party in the Carolinas. Currently not very popular. Most popular in Trans-Appalachian North Carolina (aka Tennessee).

State of Montana
Parties:
Farmer-Labor Party: RGSF member. Mostly agrarianist. Popular enough but had a bad election.
Bloc Française: an independent party similar to AdE but catering towards French. Doesn't even bother campaigning outside Lafayette, Arkansas and Missouri. Most successful in Lafayette but still fairly minor. Mostly bothers Lafayette state legislature with talk about preserving French cultural influence in the state with some not entirely serious calls for becoming a republic or making French co-official with English. Politically Centre-left.
Liberal Party: centre-right. Has practically the same politics as other Liberal Parties (or LPA parties). Have won in Lafayette (basically OTL Louisiana) and mostly are (privately) thanking the Bloc for stealing more votes from FLP. Has some possibility to (re)take the position of the biggest anti-CDU party in Louisiana from FLP.
Reorganized Conservative Party: Along with the Southern Democrats the prize horse of the CDU. Has won in all states outside of Lafayette. Even if the real prize state was out of their hands and even if they didn't have the entire confederation the sheer number of states was seen as an impressive feat. The party is fairly mild if pretty conservative to keep their "flyover" voter base. Party was reorganized after a humiliating few decades in early 20th century.

Just putting this out now. Will probably finish the confederal and state level parties today as well,but still.

Edit: Finished Northwest, Pacifica and South, but probably wont be able to do the rest today.
Further Edit: For some reason Spoilers for Atlantica refuses to work properly so I decided to not use spoilers at all. Will continue working on the rest of the confederations.
Edit Again: I did take a lot to do it but it is finally complete.


Finally finished it so quoting it just this once.

So, remember those two proposed shows back in 2017 called "Confederate" - the HBO show where the Confederates won the Civil War by the GOT writers - and "Black America" - the Amazon Prime show where the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama seceded to form a black dominant republic - and how they kinda disappeared? Well, I just remembered those were meant to be a thing and I thought that "well, wait a minute... what if we combine both scenarios, and then GB comes in to help the rebelling slaves only to eventually neo-colonialize the cotton industry of this free republic (Fredonia???) while crippling the 1860s American economy in the process?" This is the amalgamation of that entire thought process and a little cold. May or may not post a full Presidential list...

Political Parties and Presidential Candidates of the United States' Presidential Election of 2012:
Democratic Party:
- Presidential Candidate: John McCain of Arizona (Vice President of the United States under Joe Biden: 2005-Incumbent)​
- Vice Presidential Candidate: Michael Bennet of New Jersey* (53rd Governor of New Jersey: 2004-2010)​
- Description: The Democratic Party is the oldest established party in the history of the United States. While the Party, since its inception by former Republican President Andrew Jackson in the 1828 Presidential election, has gone through several waves of liberalization, it is a staunchly liberal conservative party; economically, the party is right-wing, but has been dragged to the centre-left on social issues. It's nominee, Vice President John McCain, has been labelled as a "New Democrat" for his unapologetic economic conservatism and his centre-left social positions. He is also noted as being one of the many co-founders of the "Pan-American Trade Council" with President Dick Gephardt and has openly come out in favor of free trade with Fredonia (a policy the current President of Fredonia, John Lewis, a member of the Worker's Party, is hostile to).​
Socialist Party:
- Presidential Candidate: Jerry Brown of California (Vice President of the United States under Dick Gephardt: 1997-2005)​
- Vice Presidential Candidate: Leonel Fernandez of Dominica** (United States Senator from Dominica: 1997-Incumbent)​
- Description: The Socialist Party sprang to power in the 1930s with the Great Crash of the 1929-30. President Norman Thomas, and his socialist program, was elected to the White House three times (from 1933-1941 and 1945-1949 after the presidency of Wendell Wilkie). However, the Socialist Party, facing criticism from the Democratic Party for shuffling Communists into the United States (part of the Red Scare and the "20th Century Chill" with the rise of the German Democratic Federation and the election of W. E. B. DuBois in Fredonia) went down a steady anti-Communist path and, consequently, liberalization. These ideas were enforced with President William Reuther's "communist purges" and President Gephardt's "Socialism for the 21st Century" program. At this point, it is largely a liberal / social democratic party. In current affairs, Vice President Jerry Brown, and the Socialist Party are facing criticism due to rumors that Vice President Brown suggested to former President Gephardt to topple the current democratically elected President of Fredonia, John Lewis, a member of the Worker's Party, and replace him with Conservative Senate Leader John Bel Edwards in order to seize indirect control over Fredonia's agricultural resources.​
Liberal Party of the United States:
- Presidential Candidate: Michael Bloomberg of New York (State Senate Majority Leader from NY-26: 2004-2011)​
- Vice Presidential Candidate: Bob Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania (United States Senator from Pennsylvania: 2007-Incumbent)​
- Description: A "business-savvy party lead by the business-savvy savior of Wall Street" as TIME Magazine put it in a puff piece on State Senate Majority Leader Bloomberg. Traditionally, the Liberal Party was once the main opposition of the American political spectrum hailing such Presidents as George Washington Julian, Horace Boies, and William Randolph Hearst to name a few. It is currently an openly economically liberal, socially liberal party based off of a cult of personality surrounding State Senator Bloomberg.​
Left Reform!:
- Presidential Candidate: Mike Gravel of Massachusetts (Senator from Massachusetts: 1978-1985, 1991-1997)​
- Vice Presidential Candidate: Gloria La Riva of New Mexico (State Assemblywoman from NM-19: 2010-Incumbent)​
- Description: A left-wing party that claims to be the true successor party to President Norman Thomas's ideals. After the creation of the "Pan-American Trade Council", several members of the Socialist Party began to question whether the Party under President Gephardt's leadership was truly socialist. President Gephardt's State of the Union speech cemented these concerns with his call for a "Socialism of the 21st Century." Led by Senator Gravel, several members of the Red Flag Caucus walked out of the Socialist Party Convention of 2006 to form a party "dedicated to the ideals of Marx, Thomas, and to the liberation of the American people, and of all the people the world over." They have since continually grown more distant from and criticized the Socialist Party, the Gephardt Administration, and "Socialism for the 21st Century."​
Conservative Values Party:
- Presidential Candidate: Mitch McConnell of Kentucky (Frankfort City Council - 2nd District: 2012-Incumbent), Jack Fellure of Virginia (Businessman - Appears on the Conservative Values Party Presidential ballot solely in Virginia)​
- Vice Presidential Candidate: Andre Barnett of New York (Businessman)​
- Description: A very reactionary, nationalist party that split from the Democratic Party after the perceived "liberal" policies of President Jack Kemp in the late 90s. The party is only really active along the border states of the United States and of Fredonia. It is a "major" third party in the American state of Florida (it has 10 seats in the entire state legislature) and has only gotten attention nationally due to recent free trade talks and a largely viewed op-ed piece on the Party that appeared in the Continental Gazette.​

*Butterflies still show that while he was born outside the US, his political career sprung in New Jersey

EDIT: Fixed Leonel Fernandez's alternate political future

What if the Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War?

The Kuomintang of China (Conservative
Democratic)
Current Head:
Sun Tse-kiong
General Secretary: Chiang Fang Chi-yi
Description: The Kuomintang, usually abbreviated to just KMT, was founded in the dying days of the Qing Empire and led China, in one way or another through the Warlord Era that followed the Qing's demise. While not always democratic and not always in complete control of the country during those volatile decades the KMT remained as the bulwark of Dr Sun's vision for a free and democratic China. With the defeat of the Communists in 1955 Generalissimo Chiang, as part of Sun's vision, began to tutor the people in the democratic process in preparation for the eventual transition. That transition would finally come after Chiang's untimely assassination by Communist agents in 1962 and in the political chaos that came afterward. With Chiang dead the son of Dr Sun, Sun Fo returned from exile in America. While in America Fo learned much of the American way of governance and reformed the KMT. Under Sun Fo and his son Sun Tse-kiong the KMT has become a party standing for a promotion of the Confucian way of life in China, for improving the standard of living in the vast rural areas of the interior and the promotion of a Asian Brotherhood to stand against colonialist aggression. Recently however the long held monopoly on power the KMT enjoyed has begun to be whittled away by many "Student Parties" popping up across China. This has put pressure on the KMT General Assembly to reform the party or possibly lose its stranglehold on power.
  • Factions: The New Life Association, The Generalists, the Federalists, the Pan-Asianists, The White Sun Association

The New Communist Party of China (Democratic Socialist)
General Secretary of the Party: Qiu Zhan Xuan
President of the Central Committee: Wang Dan
Description: After the death of Mao Zedong and banning the Party in 1955 many surviving members of the Party went underground. Gaining funding from the USSR and support from the rural peasants that is their traditional base, the Party continued to operate in secret. That was until a member of the Party allegedly bombed Chiang Kai-Shek's motorcade as it drove through Shanghai leading to a massive crackdown that broke the party. With most of its leadership dead or in prison the few remaining cells dissolved and the Central Committee, now meeting in a cave across in Tibet, declared the Party officially dissolved. However recently as liberalizing reforms swept China Communist propaganda from both the Old CCP and other international Communist Parties filtered back into China. Finally, in 2010 at a student protest in Guangzhou University, students gathered in the College of Politics and Civil Education building and declared the formation of the New CCP dedicated to the principle of Social Democracy, the dissolution of the longduan (monopolies) that ran the Chinese economy, the redistribution of wealth and land among many other tenants of Socialist/Communist parties across the globe. The ban on the CCP had been revoked in 1987, after the Old CCP was destroyed. With a new one now spreading across university campuses and into the countryside KMT lawmakers hurried to reban the party but more liberal members of the KMT revolted and killed the bill. Now NCCP members are gaining members in local and provincial elections from Xinjiang to Shanghai and their momentum only seems to be growing; even as memories of the brual civil war are stirred by the KMT.
  • Factions: The New Red Army, The Maoists, the Stalinists, the Trotskyites, The Leninists, etc, etc

The New China Party (Market Liberalism)
President of the Party: Zhu Xueqin
Vice President of the Party: Qin Hui
Description: Impressed by the success of capitalism and market liberalism in the United States, a growing number of Chinese wished to emulate such success in China. At first however, with political power consolidated under Chiang Kai-Shek the Liberals, like many other political movements of the age, tried to make change through the KMT. As the decades have gone on however it has become increasingly clear that the KMT is to rigid for much change outside of its strict Party Constitution so, among the myriad of other parties popping up in China in recent years it came as no surprise when the New China Party sprung up as the new standard bearer for the growing liberal movement in China. Founded on the principles of a privatization of the many state owned industries, the allowance of more political freedoms, the equality under the law for China's many ethnicities, and a revocation of many tariffs the NCP quickly became the Party of the East. Its strongholds include major cities Hong Kong, Beijing, Nanjing and Shenzhen and it includes in its ranks businessmen of all caliber from the multi billionaire CEO of Tencent to many small business owners struggling to compete with (usually cheaper) state owned alternatives. Its this powerbase which has drawn the NCP the most criticism as its opponents call it a puppet of big business who just want to make the rich richer and poor poorer. This has kept the party largely confined to the middle and upper class, taking an ever present bite out of the KMT's traditional powerbase.

Parties of the Second American Republic

The Unionist Party (Union)
Party Chairman:
President Bob McDonnell

Vice Secretary: Barack Obama

Description: Founded in the Dominion of Virginia in 1823 the UP has one central idea uniting its party, the priority of the Union above all else. After the failure of the First Republic members of the UP, and its predecessor the pseudo-party Sons of American Patriots, were quick to mourn the failure of the American Experiment. They laid dormant in the political scene of Virginia, quietly expanding its base of support. Finally in 1830s election the UP ran its first candidate in an election, George Jefferson, the son of the venerable Thomas Jefferson. Running on a policy of uniting the disperate Eastern nations to stand united against "Albionic tyranny" and European encroachment Jefferson was swept into office on a wave of populist support. As Dominion Chairman Jefferson quickly moved to secure his power base handing out generous subsidies for the struggling farmers who made up his voter base and preparing the comparatively small Dominion Army for the Second Revolution. The next 30 years was one of constant war as the Dominion methodically absorbed the former 13 Colonies. While the UP was not always in control during those years its incredible influence kept its policies on the national agenda in a period known as the "Shadow Government". Today however the Union is united from sea to sea and the UP has tenuously maintained its position as a cornerstone of the Republican political system. Running on the platform of "The Eternal Union" the UP has drawn consistent criticism for its lack of a central platform and tendency to flip completely on positions at the drop of the hat. While always justified by the Party elite this lack of purpose has led to the party staying more a nebulous coalition of factions than a united party. Current Party leaders Ralph Northam (UP-VA) and Barack Obama (UP-AL) have tried desperately to solidify the party but with their conflicting views party unity is more strained than ever leading some political analysts to speculate the UP's days are finally numbered.
Factions: The Establishment, the Coalitionists, the Centralists, etc, etc​

The Federal Republican Party (Conservative Centralists)
Party Chairman: Marco Rubio

Vice Secretary: Sarah Palin

Description: As the first party founded after the Second Republic was declared in 1932 the FRP was seemingly destined for political greatness. Founded just four days after the Republic it called for a more united Republic based on the value of hard work and personal achievement. It condemned the 'handouts' given by the UP to its supporters while also calling for a larger and more consolidated Central Government so some see the FRP as a paradox. Nevertheless the FRP quickly captured a large voter base becoming the official opposition and essentially trading power between it and the FRP every few elections. This has however not kept the FRP idle and content as its used its power to bend the UP into whatever shape it needs. The FRP's Action Bloc is famous for its ability to organize and launch near instant protests when needed to convince the UP of its goals. This does not always work of course but when it does it works well. Today however the FRP (and by extension UP as well) are increasingly seen as a bunch of old men and women playing lip service to populism. The recent "Bumpkin Scandal" did not help matters and while it remains to be seen just how badly the scandal hurt the Party, internal memos make obvious Rubio and Palin are planning to stay on the defensive during the next Assembly elections. The party has however begun to shift to the center as they seek to snatch voters from the right wings of other parties.

Factions: The Fiscal Conservatives, the Moralists, the Teetotalers, etc, etc​

The National Liberal Party (Liberals)
Party Chairman: Ralph Nader

Vice Secretary: Noam Chompsky

Description: A relatively new major player on the political stage the NLP was formed in 1978 by dissatisfied left wing members of the UP. Seeing the UP as little more than "a wind vein flowing meekly with the current" the NLP quickly became the leading moderate left party in the Union. With a strong hold of many of the larger cities, especially on the nations many college campuses the party is seen as the most vulnerable to radicalism. Despite this the NLP has been a part of every government formed after its founding. Founded on uplifting the poorest of the Republic and extending the UP's limited social programs it is seen as just socialism in liberal paint. It has been largely shut out of the Presidential Mansion, save for a single NLP minister appointed in the UP's 1983 government but has maintained a sizeable piece of the Constituent Assembly. It came tantalizingly close to the Presidency in 2017 but Nader's stroke in the closing few weeks of the campaign rose health concerns that allowed the UP to eek out a victory. Nader has however vowed to run in the next election and many predict that if he does he has a very good chance of winning or at least forcing a Coalition government. The NLP has however ran into some trouble keeping its youth wing, the Students Association, in line as they grow tired with the establishment parties and begin looking to the various third parties. With the Association being the largest youth wing of all parties if the Association breaks with the Party it could shoot down the NLP's rising star right at the height of its crescendo.
Factions: The Students Association, The Regionalists, the Retributionists, etc, etc​

Sons of Washington (Military)
Chairman:
General of the Armies Thomas Herrot

Description: While not a political party per se the SoW is the political observation bureau of the Union's Military. Charged with upholding the Union's Constitution by General Washington himself their intervention in 1788 was the catalyst that tore the First Republic apart. Nevertheless the Sons see themselves as the shield of freedom and are prepared to intervene to squash any "un-Constitutional" activity it detects. This moral obligation has been exercised at least 9 times since the Union's unification and while each time the Military would only be in power for a few weeks at most every time they intervene the foundations of the democracy they claim to love are whittled away all that much more. The Sons tendency to intervene and unseat governments unfriendly to their agenda has made them an unofficial Shadow Government of sorts as many bills passed by the Assembly are approved by the Sons before being approved by the President. Their power has been limited to a degree however as local state Militia were called in to stop their latest attempt to intervene, forcing the Sons to back down. This was however a single victory among a field of failure and both the NLP and FRP have both vowed to further constrain the Sons's ability to intervene. This has been viewed angrily by the Sons and military establishment as a whole and whispers of another, more permanent 'intervention' have been rumored to permeate the Sons ranks. Nevertheless the next election will decide the Son's fate as dominators or dominated and many citizens have a fear of a return to the dark days of the 1993 Coup.
 
Political Parties of the United States of America

Fascist Party:
The longtime "defender of the Union," the Fascists were the successors to the Society of the Harmonious Fasces. This group originated during the crisis of the 1820s and derived its name from a political cartoon proclaiming "Alone we may Break, but Together we are Mighty" and urging national unity. With civil unrest breaking out across the nation over issues from the economic panic to western expansion and slavery, the Fascists called a meeting of political luminaries, who quickly agreed upon the need for stronger ties between states and a more powerful central government than the Articles of Confederation provided. This gathering evolved into a de facto constitutional convention, as attendees proposed ideas for a new government. They eventually put together a declaration, the Charter of Union, which established a strong executive elected by a more powerful Congress, and which they put to the state governments, now barely able to exercise any sort of control. Once the desperate governors agreed to this charter, it was ratified officially, but had no real power until the newly elected president, and military general, Winfield Scott, led the army and militia to seize control of the states. Under Scott, nominally nonpartisan, the Fascists established themselves with a firm majority in Congress, and since then they have held Congress and the presidency for much of the nation's history, implementing an autarkic policy of industrialization, economic independence from foreign powers, and national interests above all, transitioning into a planned economy at the end of the 19th century. At that same time, they also expanded the right to vote to non-property owners, once they realized they could use their infrastructure projects to provide jobs and gain the support of the unemployed. In the second half of the 20th century, they were forced to moderate, supporting aid for farmers and some free trade and liberalization. Currently, the Fascists are facing a dissatisfied populace and base, with hardliners reacting poorly to reforms that implemented quasi-proportional representation, and to the military intervention in Gran Colombia, even as they had celebrated the seizure of Colombian oil only 10 years ago.

Communist Party: An alliance formed at the dawn of the 20th century in a merger of various groups such as the Social Justice Party, the Common Land Party, the Union Labor Party, and the Single Tax League, the Communists, named for their belief in the common ownership of land, are founded on the beliefs of Henry George, and held great appeal to the farmers who were hurt by the Fascists' industrial and trade policies. They object to the taxes on income, which they allege steal the value of workers' labor to pay for industrial projects which only benefit urbanites, corporations, and the indolent. Initially an alliance of fringe parties, they grew in prominence, at first due to the collapse of the opposition Civic Democrats, who acted as the voice for many immigrants and liberals, and thus the lack of opposition to the Fascists. Then, the financial panic hit, which was blamed on protectionist policies, and the Communists were swept to power. They implemented a land tax, inflated the currency with silver coinage, and lowered tariffs, setting the stage for a more liberal era in America. Recently, after spending the last 16 years out of power, the Communists have been growing increasingly radical in opposition, including a movement among some members to embrace Luddite ideals in the face of automation.

Alliance of Regions: In the late 19th century, many advocates for federalism and more states' rights realized that the various different vehicles, like the Nullification Party in the South, the Country Party in New England, the Localists in the Midwest, and others, were dividing the regionalist votes. Hence, the Alliance of Regions was born. The did not care whether Vermont wanted to abolish slavery, or South Carolina wanted to trade slaves with African nations, they simply wanted to defend each state and region's ability to do what they wanted. They have managed to survive by keeping to this broad tent message, even embracing secessionists at times, while consistently objecting to the Fascists' and, less frequently, the Communists' centralist policies. Right now, they seem to be benefiting from a general sense of dissatisfaction within the nation.

Social Revolutionary Party: Founded by an eccentric German-American painter-turned-political activist in the 1920s, the Social Revolutionaries were established based on the ideology of tribalism, and what they call "strong communities." The party's founders saw themselves as the heirs to the '48ers, and felt that communities like those of the Germans and other immigrants were being degraded by the influence of American nationalism and cultural assimilation. They wanted to preserve them by supporting laws enforcing ethnic separatism, and moral laws encouraging temperance and healthy living. These were reforms often ignored or opposed by the Fascists out of expediency, concern for national unity, or a desire for cheap labor and profitable products. They also have leaned unnervingly towards eugenics at times, distinguishing between immigrants based on ethnic origin and level of "industriousness". Ultimately, they look forward to what they call the “Social Revolution,” in which ethnic groups will form separate states, and, in Darwinian fashion, the superior culture will survive. The Social Revolutionaries object to any sort of bank, whether central or private, as exploitative and authoritarian, and favor local financial institutions like credit unions and rural granges. In fact, some might say they have an unnatural obsession with bankers, although this may be fueling their small growth in a time of economic unsurety.

Totalist Party: For those who think that the Fascists aren't going far enough in fulfilling the spirit of the Charter of Union, the Totalists are the option, promoting absolute government control in every area of life. One would think this to be an unpopular viewpoint, but apparently people are lacking a sense of security, because they remain one of the larger minor parties.

This is absolutely surreal.
 
Parties of America from this thread.

The current major parties in the United States are as follows:

Libertarian Party: The current ruling party of the United States, the Libertarian Party was brought into prominence by John McAfee in the West of the continental USA. McAfee is a world-traveling, designer-drug addicted software tycoon with an obsession with laissez-faire economics. That said, he was also a successful military leader turned statesman whose non-interventionist policies were able to accommodate Americans from the right wing to the center-left. He has enemies on both wings, but his private security forces largely keep the peace. They represent Silicon Plains, the moderate religious right, the upper and upper-middle classes, and conservatives disillusioned by the fall of the Republican Party. They like private charity a lot.

Socialist Alternative: The borderline-designated opposition party, Socialist Alternative consists of the far left of the pre-North American Civil War Democratic social democratic consensus, but the party is a spectrum from social democracy to Trotskyism. That said, these days they're only an 'alternative' to the Libertarians, as they're willing to provide welfare. The Democratic Socialists of America were largely shattered during the War, but their survivors vote SAlt.

Party for American Dignity: American Dignity is a white nationalist party who spend their time mostly squabbling with the Conservative Party. American Dignity is essentially populist-fascist, opposing 'Jewish socialism' in SAlt and 'degenerate capitalism' in the Libertarian Party. They're a mix of skinheads and guys in suits, and they believe that America was crippled by the Zionists, the inferior races, and the degenerates, and therefore that any party that wants to fix America needs to fix those. They aren't on the rise, but they're a third party in some of the less pleasant parts of the country. They like to cloak themselves in American symbolism, but their politics are fairly new.

Conservative Party: The Conservative Party are essentially the far-right who weren't comfortable with American Dignity. They're incredibly religious and incredibly conservative, advocating for making sodomy illegal and banning abortion entirely. That said, they also favor the welfare state and present themselves as a compassionate party. They're also broadly in support of spreading Christianity and fighting 'spiritual warfare'. The Libertarians usually work against them and American Dignity through proxies and private soldiers, having privatized vast chunks of the military.

Green Party: The Green Party are a mix of hippies, weird splinter communists who couldn't jive with SAlt, and pirate party types. They're people morally opposed to the LP's support of nuclear power, opposed to GMOs/vaccines, and so on. They're a protest vote.

It should be noted that the Libertarians have used private detectives and private intelligence agents to cripple American Dignity and the Conservatives. The far-Left parties largely don't need their help.

Parties from the world I'm working on now. Setting - Atompunk, Space Opera.

Political Factions in the Commonwealth of United Systems
Unlike the states of the 20th century, the borders between political associations in the Commonwealth are very blurred. In essence, the main movements are more likely a coalition of various regional and ideological organizations, often standing on opposing positions. Moreover, coalition agreements between one or another party, with opposition of various internal factions, are not uncommon. Nevertheless, in the United Systems a fairly stable party system has developed, based on the competition of the two factions represented in parliament.

  • Union for Progress - most influential political organization in the Commonwealth. As a rule, they head the government, and de jure are considered the ruling party. At the moment, both houses of Congress control. The Union stands on the positions of populism, technocracy, corporatism, and syndicalism - the desire to build an "organic society" where scientific management is carried out by the joint efforts of all social classes. In foreign policy, they are consistent supporters of space expansion and confrontation with the Empire of Dominators.
  • Liberty League - the party has gained a reputation of "eternal opposition", however, from time to time gaining control of the upper board and the presidency. The current president is a member of the League, and at the moment the government is coalitional in nature. However, it is worth considering that in some regions the representatives of the League enjoy much more influence than the progressives. This party positions itself as "liberals." Unlike the Union, they advocate the interests of entrepreneurs and free trade, without denying the need for government intervention. In foreign policy, the League advocates curtailing expansion, and strengthening defense by developing already settled planets.

In addition to them, there are also a large number of "third parties", but for the most part their influence is limited to individual regions.
Inner Party Factions:
Union:
  • Labor Democrats (Syndicalism, Worker Self-Management, Left Populism, Social Democracy, Progressivism) - the left flank of the progressives. Represent the interests of workers and "minor races." In the economy, they seek to increase government intervention, and expand the role of trade unions (while allowing for the existence of the private sector in light industry and show business). They support programs to increase representation and economic support for "uncivilized races." Foreign policy supports radical measures to combat the Empire (although there are also a small number of pacifists). Many opponents accuse them of being "hidden Marxists."
  • Technocrats (Technocracy, Populism, Corporatism, Urbanism) - are the centrist wing of the party, supported by the technical intelligentsia and the urban middle class. They support an active social policy, but are quite pragmatic in economic terms, maintaining a balance between workers, employers, and the government. In foreign policy, consistent supporters of expansion and confrontation with the Dominators. They are the leading group in the Union.
  • Expansionists (Localism, Mutualism, Expansionism, Suprematism) - the smallest group in the Party, however, not without significant influence in some regions. They are known for their statements about the “Burden of Civilized Races” and “The Purpose of the Commonwealth to bring the light of civilization to the darkest corners of space”. At the same time, they require greater decentralization of the United Systems and the expansion of the powers of regional representations. In economics, they confront both the "bureaucratic machine" and the "corporate predators" - instead promoting ideas of mutually beneficial cooperation between workers' cooperatives, farmers, and small businesses. Despite this, they are ardent militarists and advocates of high powers for law enforcement agencies.

League:
  • Social liberals (Social Liberalism, Progressivism, Welfare State) - a fraction with significant influence in the central worlds and urbanized colonies. They stand for the interests of big business, but at the same time they support social spending and the preservation of the corporatist economy. Advocates of social reform, especially with regard to the "small races." Unlike other representatives of the League, they support space expansion (to the extent that it is useful for business), with a split in relation to the Empire - the majority support the continuation of the confrontation, but there are influential groups of pacifists and isolationists.
  • Pragmatists (Pragmatism, Liberalism) - are the smallest wing in the Party, but nevertheless quite influential due to the ability to negotiate with other representatives of the League and the progressives. Flexible enough in domestic matters and in foreign policy, they are moderate supporters of the struggle against the Dominators.
  • Objectivists (Objectivism, Minarchism, Business Interests) - are followers of Ayn Rand and the "last bastion of the market." Influential enough in the sparsely populated worlds, as well as in the suburbs. Ardent supporters of economic deregulation (at the same time there are supporters of both large business and supporters of the “struggle of honest businessmen with corporate pressure”). In foreign policy, they are supporters of the struggle against the Empire, with a fairly small number of isolationists.

P.S. - I demand the return of the old color scheme! It was much more comfortable :mad:
 
Political Parties of the Midwest Union.

The Midwest Union is a political, economic and military union of 12 nation states located in Central North America. It was founded in 2048 after the collapse of the United States. While the nations of the midwest remain independent, the idea behind the Union was for smaller nations to band together and be able to provide more economic and military stability. Politically, each nation still is independent, but send representatives to the Midwest Union Congress, located in St. Louis Missouri. The Congress contains 149 members elected from districts in each state.

In regards to political parties, each nation state has its own, but coalition groups are the main divisions in the Midwestern Union Congress. These coalitions are

-The Populist Coalition. A group of socially conservative but economically centrist representatives. Strong in rural areas. Affiliate parties include the Conservative Parties of Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Missouri, as well as the Christian Democratic Parties of Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan, and the Conservative Coalition Parties of Indiana and Ohio.

The Republican coalition. A group of mostly pro business representatives ranging from socially liberal to socially conservative but united by fiscal conservatism. Heavily tied with the Republican Party in each Midwestern State.

Farmer-Labor Coalition. Representatives who are economically left, and mostly socially left (with exceptions in more rural areas) who adhere to mild socialist policies. It's strength is mostly in big cities and in some rural pockets of the northern Midwestern nations. Affiliates include the Farmer Labor Party of Minnesota, the Farmer's League of North and South Dakota, the Democratic Populist Parties of Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas, and the Progressive Parties of Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and Indiana.

Centrist Coaltion- Mostly economically centrist and socially liberal with strength in large cities and the suburbs. It is typically affiliated with the Democratic Party in each Midwestern state.

Political Parties of Tennessee

National Union

The "natural party of government" in Tennessee, they dominate nearly every demographic, only falling short among African-Americans. Their main strength comes from suburban and rural areas, and their ideology is the militaristic and conservative rhetoric seen in their national party. They have seen a recent decline in support over Governor Dawson's mishandling of the 30-year Nigerian War anniversary protests, losing a senate seat to Labor in the last election. The massacre of 56 civilians in cold blood will do that to your popularity, no matter how much pork the president pumps into your state. Recently, Governor Brian Dawson has won his gubernatorial primary over long-time rival Marcus Wallace. Though the two have basically the same policies, the closeness of the race has the governor worried...
Governorship: 1/1
State Assembly: 65/110
Senate Seats: 1/2
House of Representatives delegation: 8/12


Labor
The only real opposition to the National Union in the state, Labor holds the support of TVA workers, African-Americans and big cities. Occasionally this is enough to take the governor's mansion, but rarely. The party is more populist and socially conservative than their national party, supporting a complete ban on abortion and anti-homosexual detective squads, two policies usually seen as more in line with the National Union or Deseret parties. They aren't especially sympathetic to the anti-war movement, but have gained support due to the Nashville massacre regardless. For the upcoming gubernatorial election, they have nominated Representative Jay Green, who promises to restore full citizenship to "draft resisters" who have been deemed sufficiently reformed. He also has supported a commission into police brutality and a major expansion of the TVA. The National Union has branded him a marxist, of course, but the polls seem more sympathetic...
Governorship: 0/1
State Assembly: 45/110
Senate Seats: 1/2
House of Representatives delegation: 4/12

Political Parties of Germany

The National Conservative Union (NKU, Conservativism)
Party Chancellor: Wolfgang Schauble
Description: The dominant party in the German Republic the NKU has a complex history interwoven with the equally complex past of the nation it serves. After the fall of the NSDAP in the June Revolution in 1966, the new administration was left without a powerbase to build on. Made up of former Nazis and conservatives the administration was quick to form the NKU. The new party was careful to distance itself from the NSDAP while also adopting some of its less radical platforms like corporatism and the use of German power on the foreign stage. For the first few years after the fall of the NSDAP, the NKU enjoyed a complete monopoly of political power as few believed the former Nazis would really allow elections. This was proven wrong in the 1970 elections when the NKU, who at the time held the entirety of the Reichstag, lost seats as the newer parties took their place. Despite this ostensible love of democracy, the NKU has gone through a constant identity crisis since its establishment. Being founded by the remnants of the Nazi Party and their sympathizers the Old Guard has constantly clashed with the increasingly liberal newer generations. While few are born and bred liberals every newer generation is less strictly conservative than the last. This constant push and pull in the party constantly threaten to break the party.


German Liberal Party (DLP, Liberalism)
Party Chancellor: Angela Merkel
Description: Nicknamed "the Students Party" many of the protesters who participated in the June Revolution of 1966 who did not get into government went on to found the DLP. Founded on the principles of Democracy, Equality, and Freedom their party platform is free-market capitalism, liberal democracy, and the deconstruction of the hydra-like bureaucracy established by the Nazis and coopted by the German Republic. They have drawn much criticism as idealists who have no idea how to actually rule despite the few DLP Canchellorships going as well as could be. Under Merkel, the DLP has gained much power cementing its power in the many big cities of the Republic like Germania, Vienna, Kolm, and Brussels. Under Merkel, the DLP has also begun to broach the subject of freeing some of the "Special Regions" like The Lowlands and Bohemia. This has however been met with calls of treason from the nationalist parties and the NKU. However, this has only strengthened the DLP in said regions making them essentially the only German party within them.


Peoples Party of Germany (VD, National Communism)
Party Chancellor: Siegfried Hausner
Description: Ridiculed by the world's Communist parties for being "black with red paint" since their rabid nationalism and German exceptionalism sound a lot like the DNDE, however that is where the similarities end. They argue for complete and total equality for all within Germany as in the full integration of the "Special Regions" into Germany and the return of the rights of what few minorities have been so far neglected by the Republic like the Gypsies. They want all the super corporations like VW, IG Farben, and others to be nationalized and divided up. They call for the pullout of the Eastern states which while the NKU claims they are free, the VD maintains the NKU keeps interfering in their elections. Nevertheless, decades of Nazi rule have shied most Germans away from Communism especially such a radical version of it. They have recently gotten a single Council member in Linz becoming the first government official of any level to belong to the VD. Despite this, they continue to operate and attended the 8th International in Athens despite their international Communist condemnation.


The New German Unity Party (DNDE, National Socialism/Fascism)

Party Chancellor: Beate Zschape
Description: The official successor to the NSDAP, the DNDE has adopted all of its tenants from National Corporatism to White Nationalism to German Exceptionalism. It is not an official party however as after the fall of the NSDAP the Party was banned as was all other parties following its tenants. This does not stop the DNDE who continue to protest and demonstrate in cities across the Republic. These protests are frequently broken up by police however and many of its members and its entire leadership are currently in jail. It has gained no more than .005 of the vote in any national election, all write in and so many dismiss it. However the terrorist organization Der Werwolfe has alleged links to the DNDE and after a police raid on her home in 2005 letters linking Zschape to alleged leaders of the Werwofle.
