Anyways, how long did Deku's tenure as Democrat of Japan last? Was he effectively "Democrat for life" or did he retire? Who succeeded him?

I couldn't imagine him being Democrat for life what with the ARA slated to be disestablished by 1955 and all. Though, he could definitely be an important and respected elder statesman even after his retirement.
1. Depends on what we count as "before". The major story beats, like, say, the Great European War or the ending, would usually be planned out a couple of updates prior, though never *too* far back (with the exception of Lithuania events, of course, who, as you might tell, were planned out as early as the German Revolution arc). However, the details, like specific battles, events and people involved, would come to my mind as I write.
2. Haha, not at all! When I started, I didn't even plan going farther than a hundred years, at most! But then stuff just kinda piled up one after the other, I started putting in more and more stuff I thought was kinda interesting (like, as you mention, England winning the 100YW), until there was no choice but to just stick to the end and try to resolve it all.
They're pretty aight. They recognize each other's common opponent, but they're too distant from each other and too unrelated to build on that.
I'd take it they're TTL's analogue to the BRICS, am I correct on that? Also, can we get a list of Chinese Chancellors, Lithuanian (or Vespuccian or Indian) Democrats, German Prime Ministers, East Slavian/US Presidents, and Incan Emperors/Council heads from the end of the GAW (except for India, where it's from independence from US occupation, and East Slavia, where it's from the formation of the East Slavic Federation) to the "present day"? I'd like to see the major trends in politics for the major powers.
That's a pretty big request, don't you think?
I can start working on it, but it will take a while.
More or less similar to OTL, but distributed differently. The Andes Region, China, India and much of Europe have a higher percentage of world population at the expense of Africa, North America and much of OTL Russia.
Germania and China, as the main contributors to the Tianjin Project, were the first to acquire nuclear weapons, the latter inheriting the US wartime stockpile and the former building their own warheads in a few years time.
Later acquisitions include France and Vespucia. Spain and Britannia also started nuclear weapon programs, but they were cancelled in early stages and the research efforts diverted to civilian nuclear power instead.
East Slavia, Tawantinsuyu, Mejico, Arabia, Persia and Nusantara have either contemplated the possibility of building their own nuclear weapons, have an early-stage program with no fruit at the moment, or are rumored, but not confirmed, to have started one. India is effectively banned from building nuclear weapons or constructing enrichment facilities and only has two operating nuclear power plants, and even Choraghad doesn't advocate for a nuclear-armed India (at least not publicly).
Oceania tested its first nuclear weapon in 2003.
True, but still, such a list would be a nice addition to this TL's world.
Animatsiya (Lithuanian: aнима́ция (animatsiya)) is a style of hand-drawn and computer animation originating in, and commonly associated with, Lithuania, and less frequently with East Slavia.
The word animatsiya is the Lithuanian term for animation, which means all forms of animated media. Outside Lithuania, animatsiya refers specifically to animation from Lithuania or as a Lithuanian-disseminated animation style, often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes. The culturally abstract approach to the word's meaning may open up the possibility of animatsiya produced in countries other than Lithuania. For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view animatsiya as a Lithuanian animation product. Some scholars suggest defining animatsiya as specifically or quintessentially Lithuanian may be related to a new form of Orientalism.
The earliest commercial Lithuanian animation dates to 1917, in the form of an animated adaptation of the Lithuanian folk tale Eglė the Queen of Serpents, and Lithuanian animatsiya production has since continued to increase steadily. The characteristic animatsiya art style emerged in the 1960s with the works of Justinas Marcinkevičius and spread internationally in the late twentieth century, developing a large domestic and international audience. Animatsiya is distributed theatrically, by way of television broadcasts, directly to home media, and over the Internetwork. It is classified into numerous genres targeting diverse broad and niche audiences.

Why is animatsiya, which is an East Slavic word, associated with Lithuania when the proper Lithuanian word is animacija?
Also, why is Africa so damn empty?
Keep in mind the fact that there was a strong Ruthenian (what we'd call Belarussian and Ukrainian) influence on the Lithuanian language dating back to the time of the Ciesors as the Ruthenians were a major portion of the old Empire's elite.
The proper Lithuanian word is animacija because OTL Lithuanian is written with the Latin alphabet (and also likes the letter c), which is not the case in TTL. "animacija" and "aнима́ция" ("animatsiya") are spelled exactly the same.
Africa is so empty because I cannot claim to be an expert in African cultures and wouldn't want to make a bunch of unrealistic blobs there.
