Currently thinking of how one would extend this to Australia:
Alberta=Queensland - lots of natural resources, ruled for generations by a weird right-wing party, but now has a mildly centre-left government, partly because a radical right-wing party has been splitting the votes of the traditional right-wing party.
Prince Edward Island=Tasmania - islands that everyone forgets about, with random Green strength.
British Columbia=Victoria - one big, liveable city surrounded by rural stuff; the Greens are basically in the middle of the two big parties.
Ontario=NSW - the place containing the big city that everyone thinks is the capital but isn't. Also Doug Ford is literally Tony Abbott.
The territories=Northern Territory - obviously.
Manitoba=South Australia - just had a long-term lefty government despite being big and empty, but which has recently been defeated by the right.
Saskatchewan=Western Australia - a history of radical agrarians, and the left being more successful than they have any right to be. Mostly empty.
This leaves Quebec and most of the Maritimes out, though, which is a bit unfortunate - maybe bring NZ in, seeing as Nova Scotia is literally Southland.
Anyway: back to your regularly scheduled programming...
It works in that it speaks a different language, but there aren't really any political similarities - I did a PM List the other day comparing Mario Dumont and Winston Peters, so I guess the North Island would be my pick for a Quebec. After all, we do speak a different language to Strayan.If you're going to bring in NZ, why not make PNG Quebec?

PNG would make a good Nunavut actually, to compare to NT's Yukon/Northwest.
You've miscoloured Louisiana in the map.
The fascinating thing really is how with California and Texas as well as most of the West you'd think Reform would be close to winning in these, but it's easy to forget how high a position securely winning New England, the Midwest and the Midatlantic States gets you.
Liberal - 322
Canadian Alliance - 169
Bloc Québécois - 46
That's a pretty respectable victory for the Liberals...
Well spotted, fixed.You've miscoloured Louisiana in the map.
