I apologize for the insanely long wait, guys. It's been nothing but work for me for the past month, and I haven't really had time to get back to the timeline. In exchange for the ridiculous wait, here's political Hell on Earth ITTL's Canada I guess. Ignore the mismatched percentages for 2011. This was slapped together kinda quick.

What does National Action believe in?
National Action is founded on the principles of self-reliance (typically through anti-welfare legislation), freedom of speech absolutism, anti-communism (which some critics describe as soft-core Centralism), anti-republicanism (in contrast to the growing Canadian anti-royalty republican movement), and free trade.
Canadian Federal Election, 2015
The 2015 Canadian federal election (formally the 41st Canadian general election) was held on October 19, 2015, to elect members of the House of Commons to the 41st Canadian Parliament. The writs of election were issued by governor-general Louise Arbour on September 19, beginning a near six-week campaign. Incumbent prime minister Larry Smith was seeking a second full term, and a third term if counting Smith's ascension to the post in 2009 without a preceding election.
Smith's Conservative party won 122 seats, coming 21 short of a majority. The Conservatives attempted coalition talks with the right-wing National Action party, but the latter's demands were later cited as being too extreme to allow for an inter-party alliance. The conservatives lost a total of 16 seats to National Action of the 40 lost in total, with an additional 15 being lost to the second-place Liberal party, which gained a total of 17 seats and won 106. A minority government was formed on November 4, 2015, with Smith and his cabinet being sworn in for a second term. The centre-left to left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP) remained the third largest in the house, winning 16 percent of the popular vote and being followed closely in that regard by National Action, which won just over 15 percent of the vote and 18 seats, picking up 17 from its count of one during the 40th parliament. The Quebéc National Party lost its single seat to independent candidate Rod Benston.
The opposition angle on Smith's government was that it was inherently unstable due to Smith's excessive outspokenness, which contrasted deeply with his behavior prior to taking office. Liberal leader Jody Wilson-Raybould often attacked Smith as being exceedingly brash or informal when interacting with foreign leaders and dignitaries. Smith eventually seemed to take these attacks in stride, branding himself as a "no nonsense" Prime Minister. He even went as far as to call Donald Trump, a then-candidate for the presidency of New York "like me, but about ten times worse" during an early-October campaign rally, making reference to Trumps infamous irreverence, as well as his own to a lesser extent. Ultimately, Smith's party lost a large number of seats to the objectively more radical National Action party, led by professor-turned first term MP Jordan Peterson. This trend was considered indicative of the height of the right-populist wave that had swept North America during this time.
The conservatives also faced serious issues stemming from the loss of 13 members, whom all either joined other parties or temporarily became independents. By the election, 10 of these joined National Action, with the remaining three joining the Liberals.

I'll admit that the longer I stay away from the timeline the more I lose any ideas I may have had. I'll be having a lot more spare time for the next month or so, and I'm interested in trying to breathe a bit of life into The Articles. So I guess I should ask; what do you all want to see covered? This project has been getting away from me, and I want to bring it back in.
I'd like to see more of Africa! Perhaps change it a bit from what it was originally, but beyond that I dunno.
I support this! More on Africa, and more on former and current far-right (fascist and Centralist) nations, please. And maybe some more on Central and/or Southern Europe. Let's not focus on America as this is entitled A World withot America!
I just reread the post on the American Parliament and I had a few questions:
1. What is the Party of '05? What is its ideology and what does the name signify?
2. What is the Coalition of Regions and States' ideology? What major issues does it stand for?
3. Since centralist parties are now unbanned, what are these parties? Who are their leaders? Where does their support come from?
