These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

Speaking about motorsports, I would be really intrigued about the state of stock car racing/NASCAR in TFS-verse. I assume because Prohibition didn't happen in this timeline, stock car racing doesn't take off?Why not both, Senna wanted to end his career in Minardi anyway.
On one hand, Indy might be king in the USA, on the other hand, considering the rather peculiar state the US are in, I wouldn't be surprised if the most distinctive form of North American racing came out of California or Canada instead - my money's on California.
By the way @CosmicAsh, how are Italy, Sardinia and the Two Sicilies doing, compared to OTL's peninsula?
I was wrong, Italy don't have full women's suffrage
"Yeah, you have to be married and over 30, which seems like a move by both liberal and socialist parties to avoid letting Christian Democratic parties gain an upper hand, since it was assumed that devout women would vote for those parties." from rausch on the discord.
Ironically, that's a trend that popped up again and again, not only in Italy - Spain dealt with something similar, as far as I can remember.
Could also add to our endless suggestions to have a 'Administrative Divisons of the Indian Union' wikilist along the lines of that of the British Empire that would also include the dates of admission of its member states.
You mean FDR? "All we have to fear is fear itself"?
FDR said that one.
Ack you’re right! Wrong memorable quote. How about “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do to help Labour win!”

Not trying to be a pest, but I'd love to see a list of Prime Ministers, even if the infobox isn't complete yet. I'm mostly just curious as to how it compares to Our Fair Country's list.
From the server, it appears that the answer has to do with ministers' suspicious disappearance whenever it came time to answer any questions, hence "Where are the ministers?" and "How does the government actually work?"
It was a name that stuck around due to jeers from the opposition. Government ministers would often skip debates and leave the House in the dark until the day of the vote, which it could then be rammed through. This led to the opposition, and newspapers, dubbing it "Where? How?" to mean "Where are the ministers, how does this government function?"
Yeah... Dukakis came in and absolutely mopped up the Tories unfortunately.
