You bastard Mazda, Can’t tell what’s worse, Adobe Premier or Lee Anderson?

Also, why Lee Anderson? Like just one of the worst possible Tory MPs.

Oh, this is a leftover from the first draft, in which I made it explicit that all gypsies and travellers were among the 'privatised' people - but this was closely tied up with a joke about "the 'rona" being blamed on "the Romani", which was so egregiously low-quality that I had to take it out.

Ah that makes more sense, very Anderson there. I’m imagining Anderson owning a personal fiefdom compromised of his various Romani/Traveller ‘privatised people’.

Also this may be the worst world you’ve ever imagined Mazda.

Presidents of the United States of America

1941-1944: Wendell Willkie (Republican)
1940 (with Charles L. McNary) def. John Nance Garner (Democratic)

When FDR died in a sudden flood while inspecting one of those new dams on the Tennessee River, it was a national tragedy. For one, it thrust the cantankerous Cactus Jack into the Presidency. Garner would quickly win the Democratic nomination with only minimal fuss - but it turned the 1940 election from a forgone conclusion into a real contest.

Wendell Willkie had already taken his party by storm, but on the campaign trail seemed possessed by an almost unnatural energy that stood in stark contrast to Garner, who had already begun rowing back on some of the grander obligations of the New Deal. Willkie was able to simultaneously portray himself as a worthy successor to Roosevelt's legacy and as a sage who had predicted that government interference in the Tennessee Valley would never pay off. The result was close - but was a return to the norm of the 1920s and before, with the Republicans triumphing over much of the North and West.

Willkie's term would become dominated by The War. And especially by the increasing proliferation of Supernatural Weaponry - which drew upon different sources dependent on the relevant state's priorities and mythologies. It seemed Willkie was oddly prepared for this - while the devastation wrought upon by Pearl Harbor by the Divine Wind was terrible, it was less than some may have calculated.

1944-1948: Wendell Willkie (United)
1944 (with James Farley) def. effectively unopposed

As the year entered 1944, The War looked far from over. The Divine Wind protected the Japanese Islands from attack, the Nazis had managed to plunge Europe into a Fimbulwinter that even the notoriously robust Red Army couldn't endure. The Italians... well, they didn't need so much water to boil pasta any more? But the secret of President Willkie had been revealed - he was in fact America's most powerful warlock, his presidential campaign in 1940 being designed to forge pacts with the spirits of every river of the United States. This riverine magic now assisted America's soldiers in the war - small flasks of blessed river water were carried into battle. It was less dramatic than what the Axis had accomplished, but a little more practical, in a way.

The assistance of the rivers also drove the American war machine forward to ever greater heights. Willkie's power earned him an almost cultic following. There was no question of him winning renomination. Stretching across the aisle to win the first unopposed election in the electoral college since Monroe was less expected.

But in 1944, and in the subsequent years, people began to grow increasingly disquieted at Willkie's behaviour. He grew ever more reliant on the magic - rumours abounded that he may have even died before November in 1944 and had returned, thanks to the intercession of his watery assistants. It seemed whatever bargain he had made, he had not yet held up his end of the bargain.

By 1948, the frankly eerie antics of President Willkie had lost their charm. The War had finally ended in 1946, with Willkie summoning a beast forged of American steel and powered by the energy of a chunk of Lake Michigan to demolish Tokyo. But in the years since, the reality of his pact was making its presence felt. The industry that had blossomed during the war, rusted in the rivers or was uprooted entirely. Unemployment began to soar. The United States withdrew from its international obligations, virtually conceding Europe to the Soviets whilst simultaneously failing to uproot the Nazi guerrilla Einherjar Movement.

The legality of the President's election in 1944 was questioned - leading to Farley launching his own tilt at the Presidency, alleging he was the legitimate President. In response, Willkie made the 'nymphs' American citizens and ran for re-election with the spirit of the Tennessee River as his running mate. He stood alone, the old parties unwilling to stand with him. But no other candidate could command the waters of America.

He won re-election, not without some difficulty. And Americans came to regret it. A vast programme of irrigation, under the command of a rejuvenated Conservation Corps saw thousands of tributary rivers proliferate across the face of the United States. Every new river saw a new spirit join to Willkie's magic. The waters were shaped into sigils thousands of miles in length, enhancing and magnifying Willkie's power. America was becoming a nation of rivers.

Dams were torn down, and the cities of men were driven inland. Willkie became less and less a man, and more and more a shade. He became ever more capricious and violent. Political opponents were snatched up by flash floods, never to be seen again. The states, the federal government, they became increasingly irrelevant. And all the while, driven by the pact he had forged, he sought an alternative. A release. He passed on responsibility for individual pacts ie specific drainage basins to trusted acolytes. The federal government, the states, became increasingly irrelevant as the nation was carved up into fiefs ruled over by subordinate warlocks and their attendant river.

Willkie's pact had however introduced imbalance in the forces of nature. The capricious river spirits wished to run fast and wide and winding, and cared for little else. Forests, farms, mountains, all that stood in their path, were irrelevant. And this, finally, proved to be both theirs and Willkie's undoing.

Chief Warlock of the Nation of America

1972-0000: William O. Douglas (Forest)
1972 def. Wendell Willkie (River)

It was another warlock, with another pact who ultimately overthrew Willkie. Douglas made his pacts with the trees, the forests and woods, who suffered as men suffered as all America was bent to the will of the rivers. Willkie had never been challenged to magical combat before - it showed. Douglas triumphed, as roots drank the water of his enemy.

Claiming his predecessor's throne, Douglas formalised much of what had become the norm in America. The presidency was abolished, and a parliamentary system adopted - with delegations from the nature spirits that the United States had so unwittingly awoken. The Chief Warlock was to be an entirely ceremonial position. And the forging of pacts was to be strictly regulated. In future there would be no Chief Warlock as powerful as either Douglas or Willkie. In time, a balance of sorts would be achieved, a unity of man and nature such as had never before been accomplished since the days of Eden.

This is like a diselpunk Shadowrun.

and it is extremely my jam.

The economic contraction caused by coronavirus varied in intensity from country to country, but one of the worst hit in terms of GDP was the United Kingdom. The recovery was slow, and the tight margins demanded by several decades of increased 'efficiency' meant that firms were lucky to remain solvent. This had impacts on tax take, and the British Government - although initially taking an expansionist course - had to make significant savings. The problem was that (due to forty years of neoliberal state management and retreat from social obligations) there were no functions of the state that could be pared back to the extent required. Even fresh elections couldn't bring any new ideas to the table - the Lib Dems managed to get the monarchy abolished (crowning King George was seen as tantamount to child abuse, anyhow) and introduce Proportional Representation - but PR only applied to the new head of state, who was now elected from a party list. The second person on the list became Vice-Protector.

The Conservative-Liberal coalition had only one option to keep the state's cashflow steady - a massive programme of privatisation, not only of individual state assets (like school buildings) and functions (like healthcare), but of people. Or rather, of the state's relationship with the people.

The state formerly accepted the responsibility to provide, say, medical care, and could reject that responsibility if it couldn't afford it - but the UK was the first country to privatise the entire notion of bilateral obligations and benefits between individuals and the state. The people algorithmically chosen to be privatised (who, for unexplained reasons, tended to be poor or to belong to certain minority groups) were now free from the responsibility to pay taxes to the British Government, or to obey its laws. Equally, they no longer benefited from state pensions, benefits, education, bin lorries or the protection of the police or the armed forces. These bilateral relationships were now entered into with the individuals and corporations who had purchased the 'assets'.

In layman's terms, some former citizens were now dependent on private entities for their wellbeing, while also being entirely, completely responsible to those entities in every way. The press took up a slight hue and cry over the treatment of 'non-sovereign citizens' by 'non-states' like Sports Direct, whose citizens were not given the right to earn money or own property, and were made to reside in the warehouses where they now worked 28-hour shifts. But this was the price we had to pay for the continuation of state services towards us ourselves, which were funded by the profits from these sell-offs.

In fact, it was literally the price we had to pay, because whomst among us hadn't Backed Britain by buying a helper to cook and clean for us? We didn't want to be disloyal. Far easier to chalk it up to the New Normal.

The only misgivings that I had, personally, were around the new constitutional alterations, which gave 'non-states' a voting weight equal to the number of 'people' on their books (so I, for instance, had two votes: one for me and one for - what was her name? - Ameera or something). But yes, this gave me pause for thought, because surely if these assets were no longer part of the UK they shouldn't get the vote, even by proxy. It must have been to sweeten the deal for Sports Direct, I suppose. A lot of people were annoyed about this example of the Tories' flagrant disrespect for democracy, actually, and it was probably the main thing that decimated the prestige of human politicians. We couldn't have non-UK citizens deciding our laws, it was crazy. This was why we'd voted Leave.

After all, we didn't have much to thank the politicians for - but we had the Algorithm to thank for our freedom.

The Sikh Empire, during the tenure of Jawahar Singh, fell under deep Russian influence as it aligned with Russia to keep out British influence. By the time Maharaja Jawahar Singh realized the full extent of Russian influence, his attempted revolt was swiftly crushed by Russian troops with full support from his Dogra viziers, and with that Tsar Alexander II lived up to his namesake. Pondzab was fully annexed into the Russian Empire. Pondzab took Russian conquest with a degree of resentment, but nevertheless it did give troops for the Russian front in World War I.

Then came the Russian Revolution. Young Pondzab, consisting of an alliance between the reformist Arya Samaj sect of Hinduism, and reformist Sikhs and Muslims, overthrew the Russian-appointed government and established an independent Pondzabi republic, but this was overthrown by Communists supported by the USSR. Nevertheless, Young Pondzab rebels, linked with Basmachi rebels in Central Asia, continued a rebellion against the USSR until 1931. The Pondzabi SSR was established, integrated with the USSR as its most southern part.

Its importance as a bulwark against the British Raj, which it bordered, meant that the Soviet government took to extremes to ensure a loyal Pondzab, overthrowing premiers at the slightest sign of rebellion. Under Stalin's tenure, Pondzab was broken up into a Pagori SSR (modern day Pagoria) from Ponna to Sialkot, a Garianavi SSR (modern day Gariana) headquartered in Potiala, and a Koshmiri SSR (modern day Koshmir), while annexing much of the Pashtun lands to the existing Pashtun SSR, with a rump Pondzabi SSR still retaining a lot of land.

Under Khruschev's tenure, the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred, and NATO missiles located in India were a very important part of this. Ultimately, the crisis between the two nations was successfully diffused. Nevertheless, throughout the Cold War, the USSR-India border continued to be a deeply contentious issue, with relations between Moscow and Ilahabad proving deeply contentious.

With the 1989 revolutions, Pondzab saw vast protests against the ruling government, led by Muhamed Rokiov and Okshe Koumarov. However, these protests were crushed, and when the USSR collapsed, Pondzab saw independence under the very same regime that ruled it under the USSR. The 1992 Blue Revolution finally put an end to this, with the subsequent election seeing Muhamed Rokiov becoming president. Finally, Pondzab was truly independent, in a way it was not since 1920 or arguably 1862.

McKinley isn't assassinated and American Progressivism gets channelled differently - namely by William Randolph Hearst who takes the hopes and dreams of Progressive intellectuals and proceeds to stuff them down the toilet taking America into WW1 on the side of Germany. The US emerges victorious, but much of Hearst's pre-war progressive agenda is tarred by his virulent xenophobia and the authoritarian tendencies of his wartime government. This was exemplified by then Populist nominee Eugene V. Debs being stricken from the ballot and a compliant candidate chosen to run in his place. The US is also lumbered not only with the expansion of the American Empire over Canada and other Entente holdings in the Americas, but also the commitment to the Anti-Bolshevist War alongside their German allies.

This is not something Hearst's successor, Leonard Wood, would reverse. The years of trauma from the trenches were followed by the apocalyptic struggle to throttle socialism in its cradle - all the while America was struggling with the emergence of Dual Power in her own backyard. The Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918 to 1921 had seen the proliferation of mutual aid, particularly the provision of food parcels distributed by saloons, especially in the West. While Wood did row back the more extreme authoritarian measures of Hearst, his death in 1923 from complications related to a recurring brain tumour led to the most disputed election since 1860.

The Democrats received a majority of 'present' electors, but since the electors pledged to the Cooperative Commonwealth offically abstained from proceedings, the result was disputed, especially by Congress. Over the next two years, America would be plagued by Nightriders, attempting to put the emergent commune movement to the sword. In 1925, Republicans took back Congress and McAdoo was impeached, and the newly installed Progressive Republican called for a Constitutional Convention to find a way to make the mutualist communities across America fit into the nation's system of governance.

Does Afghanistan also get annexed by Russia or is it just awkwardly sandwiched by it?

Does Afghanistan also get annexed by Russia or is it just awkwardly sandwiched by it?

Annexed...merely a Russian client state...to be honest I didn’t think of this scenario to that extent. But yeah, I’ll say it was a Russian client state, till the Russian Revolution when it was chopped up into multiple SSRs. I mainly had Punjab directly annexed to the Russian Empire just so I could have that throwaway line about someone named Alexander ruling over Punjab.

 

[Time Enough]

Because @Sideways mentioned I should do a list about the Poplar folks...

Mayors of Poplar 1920-1931:
1920-1921: George Lansbury (Labour)
1921: Samuel March (Labour)
1921-1922: Charles Key (Labour)
1922: Charlie Sumner (Labour)† [1]
1922-1923: John Scurr (Labour)
1923-1924: Charles Key (Labour)
1924-1925: Minnie Lansbury (Labour-CPGB) [2]
1925-1926: Susan Lawrence (Labour)
1926: Charles Key (Labour) [3]
1926-1927: Reverend Henry Kitcat (Municipal Alliance) [4]
1927-1928: Edgar Lansbury (Labour-CPGB)
1928: Minnie Lansbury (Labour-CPGB)
1928-1929: Minnie Lansbury (Labour) [5]
1929-1930: David Morgan Adams (Labour)
1930-1931: Edgar Lansbury (Labour) [6]

[1]. Maybe the Poplar Rates Rebellion and it's aftermath might have been different if two of it's leading figures hadn't suffered health crisis's due to the Rebellion, whilst the rebels were in prison Samuel March would suffer a mental breakdown due to overwork and stress and Deputy Mayor Charles Key would take his place, with many giving support to the convalescing March. Not longer after the Councillors would return and it was decided to vote Charlie Sumner in as Mayor of Poplar, but during a damp spring Charlie Sumner would catch a cold and die of pneumonia some weeks later. The community having already be rocked by Minnie Lansbury's near death from Spanish Flu in late 1921, was outraged by Sumner's death. Sumner became a martyr to the Poplar Rebellion cause and his death, caused by poor health due to imprisonment would anger many and his funeral infamously nearly sparked a riot when the Times ran an anti-Poplar article in the wake of his death. It's said that Labour's eventual victories in the years to come would be born out of the fire of the Poplar Rates Rebellion & Sumner's death. A fire which would be stoked by the Lansbury's as time went on...

[2]. Minnie Lansbury's being elected as Mayor in 1924 was unsurprising, having gone from being an alderman to a Councillor in her own right in 1922, taking the seat of George Lansbury after he went and contested the seat of Bow & Bromley in a landslide by-election (the Municipal Alliance just getting 48 votes all in all). Minnie's time as Mayor would mainly be about working with the new Labour Government of Ramsay MacDonald, a task she would find infuriating as the Cabinet distanced themselves from the perceived liability of Minnie Lansbury (especially due to her continued support of the Communist Party of Great Britain, though she started spending more time with Labour all in all). Attempts to start the new cooperative 'Poplar Garden Town' inspired by the Garden Cities as an attempt to deal with Poplar slums would begin but almost immediately hit a brick wall of a lack of government. It's said that the ensuing legal wranglings, protests and Minnie Lansbury being Minnie Lansbury would help lead to the collapse of Labour's minority government that November.

[3]. Charles Key was considered by many to be a consistently safe choice for Mayor of Poplar. Whilst he was Radical, he combined with a sense of pragmatism that helped him navigate the council during the crisis's of the 1920s. However Key would overstretch himself in 1926, he and the Poplar Council would be enthusiastic supporters of the General Strike and the Poplar Council would fully devote resources to not only supporting striking workers but also actively promoting the strike. This would bite him rather quickly, when a fight between strikers and members of the OMS within Poplar borough the Government and the Police would use that as the excuse to arrest Key and several other councillors in attempt to crackdown on the rebellious borough once and for all.

[4]. Reverend Henry Kitcat's election to Deputy Mayor had been an odd affair due to ideological opposition to many of the Labour councillors views, but it was mainly a reward for the long time councillor who was seen by many in the council as a decent way to stop the continued scrutinising of the council by the authorities. His ascension to Mayor in 1926 was due to Key's arrest but he would manage to allow the other rebellious councillors to escape arrest through a variety of different ways. When the police came to arrest Minnie and Edgar Lansbury again, the Reverend would shelter them at his house as a crowd of supporters would bar the police from entering. It quickly became apparent to the Government that the situation in Poplar was out of there control, as rumours of a possible military intervention steeled the resolve of strikers in Poplar and beyond. In the end, quiet assurances from the Reverend that Poplar wasn't about to become a Communist commune would be what allowed the situation to deescalate. Key would still be charged with disturbing the peace but many of the other councillors would avoid prison time in the end.

[5]. In 1928 Minnie Lansbury was offered a hard choice, she could stay in the CPGB or continue as a member of Labour but not both. Both organisations had both helped and hindered her in her time in politics. In the end though she decided to join the Labour Party fully, this would end up helping her in the long run. In 1931 as the Labour Party lurched into a chaotic election against itself, Samuel March (who had become an MP for the constituency in 1922) decided to leave Parliament. A campaign to get Minnie in would be successful and in 1931, Minnie Lansbury would become MP for Poplar South. Her years after that would be storied as she went from member of the Socialist League to Minister of Education to being one of Nye Bevan's core supporters in the 50s but that's for another time.

[6]. Closing of the turbulent ten years for the Poplar Borough Council would be Edgar Lansbury who would spend his year as Mayor trying to push back the encroaching influence of the Morrison Machine in both his own council but also from the LCC. In the aftermath of his defeat, Herbert Morrison would spend more time back at the LCC and his subsequent attempts to shift away the 'Poplarists' would become the main battle of London Labour politics for the next ten years before the War shifted attention to more pressing matters...

Did a list of Presidents for the film Strange Days by Kathryn Bigelow, this seems reasonable attempt at it (unless anyone else has a better idea?).

It is seven years from now. Things look pretty much the same. The newer cars are smaller, more cab-forward, but they look like cars. The people on the street aren't wearing silver lame jumpsuits. Clothes look like clothes. No radical new styles. The economy is worse. The jobless rate is up. New housing is down. All the indicators are creeping steadily into the red, as they have for most of our lives. California, the Shake 'n Bake state, is still mailing out IOU's and waiting for the Big One to make Barstow into beachfront property.

Strange Days Presidents List:
1989-1994: George H.W.Bush (Republican)
1988 (With Dan Quayle) def: Micheal Dukakis (Democratic)
1992 (With Dan Quayle) def: Jerry Brown (Democratic), Ross Perot (Independent)
1994-1997: Dan Quayle (Republican)
1997-1999: Al Gore (Democratic)
1996 (With Dianne Feinstein) def: Dan Quayle (Republican), Ross Perot (Reform 2000), Ralph Nader (People's)
1999-2001: Dianne Feinstein (Democratic)
2001-2005: Newt Gingrich (Republican)
2000 (With Donald Trump) def: Dianne Feinstein (Democratic), Jesse Jackson (People's), Angus King (Independent Reform)
2005-: Dennis Kucinich (Democratic)
2004 (With Maxine Waters) def: Newt Gringrich (Republican), Jesse Ventura (Reform)

Technically the Strange Days script was written in 1993 so Clinton would have been leader but it's hard for him to screw things up that much, so went with Quayle instead. Oh also two assassinated Presidents does wonders to American Democracy...
