It Shares a border with Canada (which at one stage was the largest and one of the most militarised borders in the world) to the north, Confederacy to the south and Pacific to the west.

The Confederacy (The south) is the remnant of the southern states from the Old United States from the pre-civil war era. It is a country that is largely rural (with the country being about 45% urbanised) but does have some cities, the largest being Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Miami. It shares a border with the United States to the North, Pacifica to the west and Mexico to the south (as well as holding the external territory of Belize). The country is considered a relatively developed country (but still far below the development levels of its Northern and Western Neighbours), however it still suffers greatly from high levels of inequality, with large parts of its population (particularly in rural areas of Mississippi, Alabama, Lousiana, Durango and the Appleacians) living in poverty. The country's political system is dominated by the Social Christian Party and has been since the late 1940s (with the party not governing only in the late 50's, 70's and mid 80's, with the party having governed uninterupted for almost 35 years now). The country is considered authoritarian, with freedom of media, speech limited with political participation somewhat limited (in the form of ID, however this is issued by private companies, many of which refuse to issue IDs depending on circumstance). Most forms of public dissodence is shut down immediately, with dissidents thrown into prison or their being rammifactions regarding employment (as the government puts pressure on private enterprise). The country is largely dependent on its natural resources as well as its agriculture. Unlike its western neighbour, it is a country that is largely private enterprise with very few government owned sectors (with most of the economy privatised). It also has one of the lowest effective tax rates in the entire world in terms of income tax (with a tax range of 0-7.5%, however there is a Goods and Service Tax of 10%). Despite a relatively small economy for the region, it has one of the most advanced militaries in the world as well as the largest military in the region (with it being the only nation in the Americas to have mandatory military service for all men between the ages of 18-21, with an army of over 1 million personnel with 3 million reservists along with a further 1.5 million paramilitary personnel).

A short, not all that serious, post based on how Kazakhstan was briefly the sole member of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union survives in Central Asia and Azerbaijan.
The Union lives! But it is far from well. As the authority of the Communist Party collapsed throughout the country, the Party retreated to strongholds in Central Asia and Azerbaijan, where well over 90% of voters had voted for the continued existence of the USSR in a Union-wide referendum that March. Limited democratic reforms have since been passed to placate the public, including greater autonomy for republic-level Communist parties and the introduction of formal factions with semi-competitive elections in each of the Republic's Supreme Soviets between competing Communist Party factions. This has largely stabilized the country and the roughly 1,400 nuclear warheads still stationed in the country has ensured its independence from outside interference.
At present, the CPSU is made up of four broad factions: Modernists, Liberals, Conservatives, and Ecologists
Modernist Faction
The Modernist faction takes their inspiration from modernizing reforms undertaken in the neighboring People’s Republic of China since the ascension of Deng Xiaoping in 1978. They wish to preserve the leading political role of the CPSU while implementing the same broad economic reforms that the CPC has done to drive economic growth and open the country to foreign investment. They are opposed by the Conservatives who see this as a betrayal of Socialist principles and Liberals who oppose the continued dominance of the CPSU
Liberal Faction
The Liberal faction follows the tradition of former General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and set to re-implement the prematurely cancelled glasnost and perestroika reforms. While the faction is split on economic reforms, they agree on creating a more politically and socially open Soviet society up to and including multi-party elections. The Liberals point to the successes of Communist parties in Moldova and Nepal as proof that the CPSU can continue in its leading role even after multi-party democratic reforms are implemented. The Conservatives oppose any further degradation of the CPSU’s leading position while Modernists are wary of their split on economic issues.
Conservative Faction
The Conservative faction was born out of anti-revisionist groups opposing Gorbachev’s reforms in the 1980s and included individuals who quietly (and not so quietly) supported the 1991 August Coup. They oppose any further economic, social or political reform and instead advocate for strengthening the position of the CPSU and the role of the state in the planned economy. These positions make them despised by both the Modernists, who think that their economic policies have failed, and the Liberals, who think that their socio-political policies have failed.
It helps that they’re the biggest faction and while they don’t have a majority, the constant infighting between the Modernists and Liberals keeps them firmly in first place.
Ecologist Faction
A relative new-comer to the political scene, the Ecologist faction formed when several environmentalists were elected to the Supreme Soviet in the early 2000s riding on increased awareness of climate change following the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. The faction made big gains in the 2019 Supreme Soviet Election and while they’re still the smallest faction by far, they’re among the best organized and a force to be reckoned with.
The Ecologists support environmental and de-carbonization initiatives and their efforts to reach out to the other factions has ensured that, at the very least, they have cordial working relations with every major faction in the Party. However, they face stiff opposition from representatives of the massive state-owned oil and gas companies which still make up the bulk of the national economy.

This has largely stabilized the country and the roughly 1,400 nuclear warheads still stationed in the country has ensured its independence from outside interference.
Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU)
The CPSU is still firmly in power, albeit with much reduced powers over a much reduced country. Attempts to create an effective “Democratic Unity” block to force multi-party elections fizzled out by the late 1990s and the CPSU’s dominance has long since been unquestioned. While the individual Communist parties of each republic perform the day-to-day governance of their respective republics, ultimately, they still answer to Tashkent and to the All-Union Communist Party.At present, the CPSU is made up of four broad factions: Modernists, Liberals, Conservatives, and Ecologists
Modernist Faction
The Modernist faction takes their inspiration from modernizing reforms undertaken in the neighboring People’s Republic of China since the ascension of Deng Xiaoping in 1978.

I wonder what the Russian attitude would be towards this much-reduced Soviet Union.
The Russians probably reluctantly see them as a regional ally at best. It's best to stay on the good side of a country that still has a sizable military and over a thousand nuclear warheads.
Incidentally, there would probably even be a large movement in the mid-late 90s to rejoin the Soviet Union once Shock Therapy reforms go south
Political parties of the Hellenic Republic from my latest project:
A special role in political life is played by the competition between two forms of nationalism - Romanism and Hellenism. The first is Romanism, based on the heritage of the Eastern Roman Empire. Her supporters deduce Greece as the heir to Rome and the custodian of imperial institutions. Initially inclined towards monarchism, they now emphasize that de jure the Empire has always been a republic, and modern Greece is the continuation of the cause of Roman Republicanism. The Romans demand the centralization of the political system, around a strong leader. Adhere to a more elitist outlook on society. They believe that religion should be the basis of national identity, and see Greece as the center of the Chaldean religion. The Hellenists, on the other hand, focus on the heritage of Ancient Hellas, defending it as the ancestral home of democracy, while seeing the Romans as conquerors of more developed peoples who have joined the culture. Without denying Chaldeism (seeing in it the embodiment of the religious aspirations of the ancient Hellenes), they still give priority to belonging to the Hellenic people (from the adoption of cultural and civic values, ending with outright racism). Also stalwart Republicans and outspoken egalitarians.
- The National Democratic Union (Εθνική Δημοκρατική Ένωση)- the current ruling party. It arose in the 20s of this century, nevertheless, it leads its lineage to the conservative organizations of the times of the first constitution, claiming to be one of the oldest political parties. The leading Romanian party, which stands on the position of conservatism, supporting the leading role of Chaldeism in the life of Hellas. The economy is moderately pro-market. Represents the interests of the priesthood, the bourgeoisie, the wealthy townspeople, and the conservative peasantry.
- The Greek Civil Coalition (Ελληνικός Πολιτικός Συνασπισμός) - the second party, not inferior in size and influence, and has led a number of governments. A center-left party (with left and center wings) based on the principles of republicanism, the welfare state, and moderate secularism. It is the leading party of moderate Hellenism. It relies on the support of the labor aristocracy, small entrepreneurs, progressive intelligentsia, and part of the peasantry.
- The Democratic Party of the Working People (Δημοκρατικό Κόμμα Εργαζόμενου Λαού) - left-wing political organization. It takes radical positions - the nationalization of industry and natural resources, the introduction of workers 'control at enterprises, the creation of agricultural cooperatives, the complete socialization of the social services sector, the dissolution of the synclet and the transfer of power to the "workers' ecclesias". Support radical secularization and progressive social policies. Opposes both the Romans and the Hellenists, acting as revolutionary internationalists. The main electorate of the party is the workers, the rural poor, the radical wing of the intelligentsia and students.
- The Symphony Society (Κοινωνία Συμφωνίας) - Roman party, but more radical than the National Democrats. They see their goal in the realization of the "polity indicated by the divine Plato." Adheres to the clerical-conservative ideology, supporting the leading role of the pontificate, striving to establish "social harmony". In the economy, they advocate a socially oriented market model, with a strong share of state paternalism. Expresses the interests of the radical priesthood, the petty bourgeoisie, and traditionalist intellectuals.
- The People's Greek Patriotic Union (Λαϊκή Ελληνική Πατριωτική Ένωση) - a notorious organization of Hellenistic orientation. Stands for radical nationalism, advocating the "Hellenization" of national minorities and a tough anti-migrant policy. They are considered a conservative party, but in addition to racism, they are more moderate than the National Democrats. They support the corporatist model of society, with the requirement for the participation of employees in the management of the enterprise. Initially secular, but went to a rapprochement with religion as the basis for ensuring the spiritual kinship of the Hellenes. It is supported by the right-wing students and part of the petty bourgeoisie.
A special role in political life is played by the competition between two forms of nationalism - Romanism and Hellenism. The first is Romanism, based on the heritage of the Eastern Roman Empire. Her supporters deduce Greece as the heir to Rome and the custodian of imperial institutions. Initially inclined towards monarchism, they now emphasize that de jure the Empire has always been a republic, and modern Greece is the continuation of the cause of Roman Republicanism. The Romans demand the centralization of the political system, around a strong leader. Adhere to a more elitist outlook on society. They believe that religion should be the basis of national identity, and see Greece as the center of the Chaldean religion. The Hellenists, on the other hand, focus on the heritage of Ancient Hellas, defending it as the ancestral home of democracy, while seeing the Romans as conquerors of more developed peoples who have joined the culture. Without denying Chaldeism (seeing in it the embodiment of the religious aspirations of the ancient Hellenes), they still give priority to belonging to the Hellenic people (from the adoption of cultural and civic values, ending with outright racism). Also stalwart Republicans and outspoken egalitarians.
Here is a USSR from a project I've been working on for a while:
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
Government: Defensive democratic federal parliamentary republic
With the original vision of Bolsheviks for the USSR being an actual federation of equal socialist republics, with the admittance of new members being their way to expand socialism, the USSR has evolved into an entity not unlike the ever-expanding OTL European Union. While the military, intelligence, diplomacy and a significant part of macroeconomic policy fall under the central Soviet authority, the member republics of the federation possess significant regional autonomy. The Soviet Constitution states that the USSR is a "dictatorship of the proletariat", and as such, business-owners, landowners and clergy members are considered "bourgeoisie" and are not granted the right to vote.
With the Soviet Union having the largest economy in the world, an impressively robust living standard, its long-standing staunch allies of communist China and India, the status of being the victor of the Cold War and the undeniable superiority of its ideology over capitalism; the Soviet Union has found a very comfortable status quo where they are beyond the need to take radical authoritarian actions to secure its existence from external and internal reactionaries. This period of comfort, liberalization and plurality has created many visionaries with different directions for what path the Union should follow next.
Taking a page from West Germany and South Korea, the Soviet Constitution states that the Union's Constitutional Court has an extensive authority to defend the "democratic socialist basic order" of the Soviet Union, giving them authority to ban any party that espouses either overt nationalist, clericalist, discriminatory or capitalist platforms, or any party that the Constitutional Court deems "hostile to the Soviet Constitution". While this would allow the Court to ban any non-leftist party in theory, there have been several cases where such parties have managed to survive. Dengist and social democratic parties have been advocating for the handing out of "temporary privatization licenses" as a platform for capitalist development, while still managing to stay under a gray area within the Soviet Constitution. There have also been parties that have used "cultural decolonization" and "korenization" as dog whistles for nationalist voters.
While every republic has its own separate political parties for the people to vote, the central Soviet government is composed of coalitions of parties across the Union from all 35 republics that are united in ideology. These coalitions are known as caucuses, and these caucuses serve the role of an All-Union political party within the context of the Soviet Parliament. By virtue of the caucuses being leftist-orientated, there are a lot of consensuses on many different issues. And as such, there are several overlapping issues that caucuses agree on. Temporary coalitions between caucuses being formed for certain single issues or mutual support between legislations are a common thing.
Revolutionary Caucus
Color: Red
Symbol: Red star
Economic Doctrine: Worker Self-Management (service sector integration, planned economy, labor rights, trade liberalism)
Social Doctrine: Proletarian Universalism (commitment to multiculturalism, social progressivism, welfare state, immigrant attraction)
Diplomatic Doctrine: Permanent Revolution (unification with China and India, multilateral diplomacy, altruistic foreign aid, idealist foreign policy)
The first caucus in the Soviet Union, the Revolutionaries have been the force that has kept the soul of the world proletarian revolution alive. Often considered too ambitious and too idealistic for their own good, the Revolutionaries have been very consistently on the left-wing of pretty much all issues regarding the Union.
Conciliatory Caucus
Color: Blue
Symbol: Carnation
Economic Doctrine: Developmental Dirigisme (privatization license extension, mixed economy, labor pragmatism, trade liberalism)
Social Doctrine: Cohesion Through Conciliation (melting pot assimilationism, social moderatism, worker incentivism, immigrant attraction)
Diplomatic Doctrine: Global Policeman (global interventionism, multilateral diplomacy, commercialist foreign aid, realist foreign policy)
Formed from Mensheviks and Bukharinists, the Conciliatories are often regarded as the most economically right-wing caucus in the union. Inspired more by France's Gaullists and China's Dengists, the Conciliatories prefer to keep the Soviet economy internationally competitive and Soviet society internally cohesive.
Solidarist Caucus
Color: Yellow
Symbol: Raised fist
Economic Doctrine: Paternal Technocracy (state-controlled rapid development, planned economy, labor pragmatism, trade protectionism)
Social Doctrine: Patriotic Solidarity (softened secularism, social moderatism, welfare state, border security)
Diplomatic Doctrine: Left Realpolitik (anti-enlargement/unification, unilateral diplomacy, altruistic foreign aid, realist foreign policy)
Jokingly referred to as the Children of Stalin, the Solidarists are highly patriotic towards their dear Union. Criticized for being statist and uncompromising, the main allure of the Solidarists are their commitment to fix any national economic bottlenecks as fast as possible and protect the global prestige of the world's only superpower.
Ethicist Caucus
Color: Green
Symbol: Three arrows
Economic Doctrine: Egalitarian Representation (agrarian and environmental reform, mixed economy, labor rights, trade protectionism)
Social Doctrine: Forward-Thinking Ethics (state atheism, social progressivism, worker incentivism, border security)
Diplomatic Doctrine: Resplendent Neutrality (pacifist neutrality, unilateral diplomacy, commercialist foreign aid, idealist foreign policy)
The Ethicists are derided as a caucus for those that gave up on world revolution. Ethicists perceive that Soviet society is still too culturally conservative, economically inefficient and indifferent to climate change. The Ethicists exclusively want their efforts towards making the Union into a model society, the Revolution be damned.

I'm looking for a list of parties I saw a couple month ago on ah.com, I don't think it's in this thread. It was either a Cascadian or a Californian list of parties that were rather progressive: technocracy, transhumanism, celestial elements. The colours used for the parties in the post were also unsual ones like turquoise. I wonder if any of you would remember..?

Congress of Continental Republics
Government type: Supranational confederal union
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 goes bust after a pro-Shays protest within Philadelphia forces the convention to disband shortly thereafter. Later on, it is agreed that any notion of a united republic is a damned one and, largely, went their separate ways. As tensions with the British Empire rose at the turn of the century, however, the separated states came back together to form a military pact. However, as the war dragged on, it became clear a central authority was needed. So, a new Articles of Congress were drafted by the war's conclusion with a return to status quo. Notably, these new Articles there would be a singular assembly with Vocational Councils assigned to certain members of the assembly (think the Seanad's Vocational Panels in OTL Ireland). A singular President would be elected "popularly"* to serve as the figurative Head of State - the powers of the President of the Congress would only be procedural and diplomatic - while each vocational panel would elect a Chancellor to serve as their head minister. Vocational Councils, and the assembly, would not be popularly elected until the passage of the 7th amendment in 1914 after the Red Cotton Revolution.
Currently, there are 18 member-states of the Congress: Connecticut, Cuba, Domingo, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, South Carolina, Transylvania, Vermont, Virginia, West Florida. There are three states who wish to join the Congress: the Confederation of the Mosquito Coast, Republic of Quebec and the Republic of Sonora.
*This would hold true until the passage of the 5th Amendment in 1879 allowing full propertied men's suffrage, in 1919 with the passage of the 9th Amendment allowing total and full men's suffrage, and then in 1927 with the passage of the 10th Amendment allowing total women's suffrage.

Parties of the Japanese Empire
Yokusankai (Imperial Rule Association) - The only 'official' party in the Empire in practice the Yokusankai has changed little since its foundation and remains a complex monster of a party. Its made up of a broad range of government officials and military men the Party has little in the way of a uniting ideology outside of nationalism and a vague pan-Asianist flavor. After they were routed in the 2012 Diet elections they have been forced to resort to harsher measures to stay in power. This has led to the party to begin to fray at the edges. Today the party remains in power but with liberal students increasingly turning to other parties, Crown Prince Naruhito speaking out against them just before taking the throne in 2019 and their older power base literally dying off the future of the party is in major doubt with many international analysts predicting that it will fall out of power before 2030 for the first time in their history.
Rikken Minshu-to (Constitutional Democrat Party) - Formed in 1985 as the first opposition party to the Yokusankai the Party, like all parties in Japan today, began as a simple faction of the Yokusankai. However, after the death of Prime Minister Kishi in 1982 the Yokusankai entered a period of crisis and the more liberal members of the party took the chance to form their own party. While not having an imperial sanction to run their own candidates they circumvented the informal ban by running their candidates as Yokusankai candidates. Using this they have gained an increasingly large minority in the Diet and spread their message. They advocate for a liberalizing of the state and lessening of the totalitarian nature of the country. They want to transfer the Sphere into a Free Trade area to incentivize nations within it to remain so. However they maintain that Japan needs to keep its various outposts and colonies across the Pacific to maintain Japanese self sufficiency. This has gained them the nickname the Little Conservatives by some which is used with either derisiveness or pride depending on who is speaking.
Kokumin Kaifuku tō (National Restoration Party) - The NRP is a party that is in some ways like the Yokusankai and in others like the CDP and as such acts as a hazy middle ground between the two. The major platform of Japan is to restore the Emperor's place in politics as the head to state, much like Emperor Meji. This however is seen as little more than a pipe dream by everybody, even most of the NRP party leaders. Instead the NRP currently acts as a bridge between the Yokusankai and the CDP and frequently works in tandem with one or the other to keep the government operating whenever a deadlock looms. NRP members usually support the authoritarian tendencies of the Yokusankai as a necessary sacrifice to keep order and Communism from destroying Japanese life. However they also conversely support breaking down trade barriers like the CDP. It is unique however since it does have an Imperial Sanction and therefore can run candidates in its own name. Despite this they continue to use the Yokusankai as its more recognizable to the average Japanese voter.
Nihon Kyōwatō (Japanese Republican Party) - Easily the most radical of the major parties the JRP wants to do away with the Emperor and the Yokusankai and wants to implement a Western style democracy within Japan. It stands out as a radically liberal party in a nation which is traditionally hardline conservative and as such is under heavy scrutiny by the government with 4 of the last 6 Party Leaders currently in prison for dubious links to terrorism. The Yokusankai however lets them exist simply because they are not that large, only winning about 12% of the vote in 2020 and they are loyal enough that the party itself is not really a danger to the establishment and as such works as a sort of heat sink for the radical opposition. Born in 2000 after the warming of relations with the West it was formed by a group of university students who studied in America and grew fascinated with its political freedoms. They also want to break up the zaibatsu's which run the Japanese economy and transform the Sphere into a "UNAA[1] in Asia" as they describe it. Their political future is undoubtable going to be troubled but some predict they could eventually become powerbrokers like the NRP.
Other Minor Parties:
Nihon no marukusushugi kakumei sensen - (Japanese Marxist Revolutionary Front) - Stalinist-Leninist
Kokka jinmin tō (Japanese National Peoples Party) - Far Right
Ainu kenri to (Ainu Rights Party)
Nihon sekigun (Japanese Red Front) - Revolutionary Marxist
[1]United North America Agreement. Think NAFTA but a bit more.

It stands out as a radically liberal party in a nation which is traditionally hardline conservative and as such is under heavy scrutiny by the government with 4 of the last 6 Party Leaders currently in prison for dubious links to terrorism. The Yokusankai however lets them exist simply because they are not that large, only winning about 12% of the vote in 2020 and they are loyal enough that the party itself is not really a danger to the establishment and as such works as a sort of heat sink for the radical opposition. Born in 2000 after the warming of relations with the West it was formed by a group of university students who studied in America and grew fascinated with its political freedoms. They also want to break up the zaibatsu's which run the Japanese economy and transform the Sphere into a "UNAA[1] in Asia" as they describe it. Their political future is undoubtable going to be troubled but some predict they could eventually become powerbrokers like the NRP.

Judging by the names of these ridings, I'm guessing that ITTL, Britain colonized that part of South America instead of Spain?
Either that or the British Conquered the area from the Argentines and then made it a British Colony
