American Commonwealth
Originally created as a simple “who-would-you-vote-for” poll in the Shared Worlds forum by lord_caedus, resulting in a huge - and only surprising in universe - victory for the Bernie Sanders-led Progressive Democrats over Hillary Clinton's Liberals, Mitt Romney's Conservatives, Ron Paul's Libertarians and Pat Buchanan's American Heritagers, the thread soon evolved into a universe of its own based on the poll and the posts in the poll thread, focused on a massive USA+Canada+Bahamas called the American Commonwealth and its politics, considerably more aligned with today's Canada than today's United States. A few contributors update the universe with political developments more or less based off the real world's events as well as information about the universe told through Wikipedia-style infoboxes or infodumps, eventually leading up to the next election, which will not be held in 2012 according to PM Sanders.
