Alternate Wikibox Thread

Americans had been through quite a bit. Leftists and anti-government sympathisers were rounded up by McCarthy, the KKK was federalised by Stephenson, their cities got seared by Cubans and their own boys got atomised while fighting in Viet Nam. The former director of FBI making his moves for a third term was, maybe, the straw that broke the camels back. Americans on a whole may have not agreed with the fact that punk kids who smoked pot and fucked like rabbits were now in charge, but the former and the latter both agreed with each other on the golden rule; there could never, ever be another Nixon, so they reluctantly accepted the reforms that came their way.

A slightly sillier infobox based off rvbomally's scenario Old Hickory Cut Down, which in itself is based on Hnau's successful Jackson assassination TL.

The Roman War of Independence (Italian: Guerra d'indipendenza romana), also called the Franco-Roman War, the One Month War or the Roman Crisis of 1849, was waged by the Second French Republic against the Roman Republic, a revolutionary state that was previously founded on 9 February 1849 by the Costituente Romana, founded in the wake of liberal protests in the Papal States and Pius IX's self-imposed exile.

Without consulting his ministers, Prince-President Louis Napoleon sent an expeditionary force to Rome in order to restore the temporal power of the Holy See, a move which was extremely popular with Catholics, but angered the more liberal republicans. On 25 April, 10,000 French soldiers led by General Charles Oudinot landed at Civitavecchia, while 4,000 Spanish soldiers marched north from Gaeta, where Pius IX had made his refuge. Giuseppe Garibaldi's fateful arrival to Rome emboldened Republican forces, who routed Oudinot's forces on 30 April.

Giuseppe Mazzini and French diplomat Ferdinand de Lesseps's attempt to sign a ceasefire was denunciated by Louis Napoleon, as he sought to achieve total destruction of the revolutionary regime. Hostilities would resume in May, as Oudinot's army, reinforced by Spanish soldiers and Sicilian volunteers, marched towards Rome. In an unexpected move, however, American President Theodore Frelinghuysen – a Northern Whig and pious humanitarian – declared his tacit support for the Roman cause, sending a squadron of warships under Commodore Perry's command towards the western coast of the Roman state.

As USS Mississippi stopped by the mouth of the Tiber in late May and American soldiers lent their arms to the defense of Rome, Louis Napoleon was increasingly anxious to continue the war, and a peace treaty would eventually be brokered on 12 June 1849, affirming the Roman Republic's independence. The war would solidify the military alliance between the Roman Republic and the Kingdom of Sardinia, though the Republic's financial issues would see them become heavily reliant on Turin for survival. As per the conditions of the Treaty of Forli, the Triumvirate would invite the Pope to take refuge in a portion of the city surrounding St. Peter's Basilica, an offer which the increasingly reactionary Pius IX would refuse. Louis Napoleon's withdrawal from Rome would damage his popularity with Roman Catholics, setting the stage for the Crisis of 1850. Frelinghuysen's decision to intervene in an European war caused uproar in the United States and abroad, with Roman Catholic riots occurring in New York City and Southern congressmen denouncing Frelinghuysen's flagrant disregard for the Monroe Doctrine. While Frelinghuysen would continue to support subsequent liberal revolutions in Europe, his outreach would be limited by Congress and he would eventually be defeated in the 1852 presidential election.

Decided to do a few infoboxes for @Ephraim Ben Raphael's EEUSG entry, Republic of Chile.

1696532337087.png

Carlos Fernando Flores Labra (born January 9, 1943) is a Chilean engineer, entrepreneur, politician and political theorist serving as the Chairman of the Strategic Long Range Planning Committee since 11 October 1991. From 17 August 1975 until his formal resignation, Fernando Flores served as Chile's 29th and final President. Along with Stafford Beer, Flores is considered one of the primary architects behind the Synco network and the Syntegration theory, which he would implement following the 1991 constitutional referendum.

Spanning more than four decades, Fernando Flores's political career began with his 1972 appointment as Minister of Finance by President Salvador Allende; the then 29-year-old engineer took quickly to government service and became one of the President's closest allies, overseeing the creation and development of Project Cybersyn. In the aftermath of the September 1973 coup and the beginning of civil war, Flores was captured by General Augusto Pinochet's forces and tortured; however, he was able to escape by January 1974 and take control of the Synco network, demonstrating its military potential by co-ordinating Allendist forces in the battlefield and turning the tide of the war against the Conservatives. Following Salvador Allende's assassination, Fernando Flores stepped up to take the reins of power; as the President of a formally Marxist republic, he would spend much of his tenure shepherding economic reforms, pursuing an independent, unaligned foreign policy and expanding Synco's reach, allowing Chile to weather the 1980s economic crisis. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Flores would oversee the transition of Chile from a Marxist dictatorship to the world's first Syntegration state, abolishing traditional political offices and elections.

To this day, Fernando Flores remains a controversial figure, with supporters praising his effective stewardship of the Chilean state and its transformation into an independent, sovereign, democratic regional power. Conversely, Flores has been labelled a dictator and authoritarian leader by a number of academic and political observers, citing pervasive censorship and mass surveillance as well as the Syntegration government's strained relationship with opposition.

The National Population Sample of Chile (Spanish: Muestra de Población Nacional de Chile) is the legislative branch of government of the Republic of Chile and the highest constitutional organ. Founded on 22 October 1991 in accordance with the 1991 Chilean Constitution, the unicameral National Population Sample replaced the National Congress of Chile; it is composed of 100 members, which are chosen at random by the Synconet Computer System from the population to serve one-year terms, a manner which, according to the Chilean government, is designed to prevent the formation of a "parasitic political class". While members of the legislature frequently associate with political parties, the National Population Sample is officially nonpartisan.

Gorochu is a Pokémon in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Atsuko Nishida, Gorochu first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Green and subsequent sequels. In addition, Gorochu was one of the Pokémon to get an Alolan Form variant with an Electric/Psychic typing. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. It is known as the Thunder King Pokémon (Thunder God Pokémon in Japan). Gorochu is the evolved form of Raichu and the final evolution of series mascot Pikachu. Since it appeared in the Pokémon series, Gorochu has received generally positive reception, often topping lists of "coolest" or "manliest" Pokémon. It has been featured in several forms of merchandise, including figurines, plush toys, and in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Gorochu first appears as one of the 190 species of Pokémon in the Pokémon Red and Green Versions. When a Pikachu becomes Level 30, it evolves into Raichu, and when Raichu is exposed to a Thunder Stone, it evolves into Gorochu. In later games Raichu must be level 50 or higher when exposed to a Thunder Stone. It later appeared in all subsequent sequels. From its release in the first generation to the current eight generation, Gorochu has been considered to be one of the best Pokemon in standard play, being featured on many teams in both fan leagues and official tournaments. It is nicknamed as "Godchu" by members of the competitive scene due to its high base stats, wide movepool, and unique ability to damage Ground-types with Electric-type moves.

Gorochu is featured in the Pokémon anime series with the most recurring being from the Indigo League main character Ash Ketchum. The Alolan version appeared on the team of Sun and Moon League main character Elio Ray.

Since its debut, Gorochu has appeared in other Nintendo games. It has appeared in every entry of the Super Smash Bros. series, in an unplayable capacity in the first three games before becoming a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Kerfuffle onward. Despite Gorochu's strong position in mainline competitive Pokemon, he is considered one of the weaker fighters in the Smash competitive community, even weaker than pre-evolved form Pikachu.

Source for the Gorochu picture. I'm fairly certain, but not 100% certain, that this is the first alternate Pokemon wikibox done. If I'm wrong, please correct me, but I thought this would be a novel idea to throw out there. Plus I hadn't done a video game box in a while, and wanted to get one out. (Also I seem to be accidentally creating a video game wikibox extended universe. That was unintentional compared to the DC History one.)

Also, just for fun, I'm thinking Gorochu's BST is 90HP/100ATK/85DEF/120SpAtk/70SpDef/120Speed (585 in total). In Gen 1 it'd be 120 Special (or 515 in total). I was also thinking of making him a part-Fighting type, or part-Ground type, given the design, but I decided to stick with just pure Electric.
 
What was the 151st United States Congress like?
Hellish. On top of increased gerrymandering, there are multiple amendments made to the Congressional rules that give either the Speaker or Senate Leader powers to silence and eject any member that they believe to be in violation of 'legislative ethics'. As Republicans have been in majority since the impeachment, a typical conversation could go like this;

Speaker: The chair recognises the Senator from Maine.
Senator: Thank you Mister Speaker. I wish to call an inquiry on the continued stationing of the National Guard in--
Speaker: The Senator from Maine has breached the rules of the Senate and will be removed by the Sargent at Arms.
Senator: Wait what
Speaker: The gentleman from Maine will leave the floor.
Senator 2: Mister Speaker, point of order!?
Speaker: Overruled. The Senator from Wyoming has breached the rules of the Senate and will be removed by the Sargent at Arms.
Senator 3, in back, whispering to colleague: This is ridiculous!
Speaker: Point of order. The Senator from Vermont has breached the rules of the Senate and will be removed by the Sargent at Arms.

I really like the map although shouldn't that be the aftermath of the US Capitol explosion? That's not the White house pictured. I know its a nitpick but confusion between those two buildings has always been one of my bugbears.
