The article is referring to the Minister-President of Bavaria, not Germany as a whole. The federal head of government of Germany is still called the Chancellor IIRC
When I wrote the 2014 election results for India I excluded any independence and Muslim parties by legal and illegal, so basically it is a coalition of right wing parties. There was unrest separatist movements in OTL Bengal and Pakistan against Hindu nationalism. This war will be nasty, especially if India's neighbors begin to supply the Bengali's.
Oh damn, is Ireland about to be reunified? Wonder what sort of....troubles, this is about to cause
One lot is going to go "no, no, no", another lot is going to go "good riddance, let someone else have this problem", another lot is going to go "maximum border gore", etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ireland is officially in favor of unification, but unofficially against it (because then they have to deal with the IRA and unionists), while the UK is the other way around (because then it becomes Ireland's problem).
NO
NOT THE TRIUMPHENT TRIUMPH PARTY OF TRIUMPHANTS!
Truly this world is now on an inevitable downturn.

This Bengali Independence conflict is fascinating and I looked forward to seeing what will happen next. Good job as always
Is the Bengali Independence movement almost entirely religious based, or are Hindu Bengali's also involved and fighting against the Indian government? Also, what are the claimed borders of this independent Bengal, I assume it is much larger than our own Bangladesh.

It does not seem like it will be pretty.
Thank you!
The Socialist Worker's Party is a socialist party that focuses on middle class and worker's interests. It is the only non-Communist party in the Soviet Union (though it remains steadfastly Socialist and loyal to the ideas of a Soviet Union).
Whitehall, as has been stated before, is shorthand for the British Civil Service.
I will have a Christmas-day update on U.S. Politics
There is still the federal Chancellor (Reichskanzler) but the leaders of all the states (except Danzig and Berlin) are styled Minister-President (Ministerpräsident)
That's for sure.
1) Rising by the day.
2) There was never a McCarthyist Red Scare in the United States. The Soviet Union had often been seen as an ally (see: Peculiar Relationship), and also a teachable moment about the necessary steps needed to reform society. This is what helped to launch the Progressive movement into overdrive. In a sense, this was the first Red Scare, bringing forth reforms to blunt any potential unrest in that way.
3) Serbia (Yugoslavia) and Croatia have been involved in a low-level war over the treatment of Bosnians/the mostly unstable border.
4) Depends on how serious you mean. There are Ukrainians who want independence. Transylvanians who want out of Hungary. North Borneo wants independence from the Philippines. There are people in Hong Kong who want to leave the United Kingdom. Welsh, Scottish independence movements exist. There's all degrees of seriousness to these and it's hard to say which one is "more serious" than the last.
1) There have been several towns burned and the people found missing or dead on the border between the two countries. All indications were that it was the Cambodian government executing these actions for unknown reasons.
2) Prime Minister Burnham is making good on one of his campaign promises of electoral reform. His proposals during the campaign were to give all colonies representation in Westminster, even if they had local governments (Suez, Hong Kong), and would be eligible to vote in both.
3) Tchad suspended elections because it has claimed there would be foreign (French) interference in them, making them untrustworthy.
4) Piracy is a state-sanctioned way of generating revenue for the state.
5) Fairly severe, police are making arrests and ensuring protesters are kept away from vital transportation infrastructure so they cannot block subways and motor traffic.
Everyone else asked the questions I wanted to ask, but what will the Duke and Duchess of Albany be doing while they're in Hannover?
The Duke and Duchess of Albany will be visiting Herrenhausen Palace, which remains open to use by the British Royal Family.
Most likely significant ones.
This, essentially.
The official policy in Ireland is unification of the island as quickly as possible, but unofficially it's a mixture of abject terror and dread when the British finally do leave.

Sadly yes. The full name was, in fact, "Vermin Supreme's Triumphent Triumph Party of Triumphants"

The Bengali independence movement at the moment is wholly secular. The Indian Government has slid further and further towards Hindu nationalism, and the secular nature of the constitution is increasingly at risk. The people of Bengal are seeking to return to this previous norm, and all other options have been exhausted. During the referendum on the matter, held a few months back, 77.5% of Bengal voted to leave India.
Here is the State of Bengal:
Hm. Does Andy Burnham have similar policies to his OTL counterpart? What is the general UK economic consensus? Who were there equivalents to Attlee or Thatcher in terms of shifting this consensus?
I take they’re the New England affiliate of the Monster Raving Looney Party then? What must Lord Buckethead/Count Binface be up to in this world
Interesting. So regarding reunification, what is the general opinion coming from the UK? Would letting Northern Ireland go actually benefit Britain in any way ? Apart from the whole IRA mess, could an economic sinkhole for example, finally be coming to an end ?
I'm sure that this has nothing whatsoever with the likelihood of the opposition winning the election.
