It is 1991, and we live in the irradiated ruins of a world frozen in the wonder age of the 1930s to 1950s by the dead hand of Howard Hughes. With his death, came the collapse of everything, beginning with the corrupt system of a national economy he had built around himself, to the political order he had funded to support him, to the international stability that had once been so highly prized. But all is not lost. Strategic Defence might have been corruptly managed by the rotten brain of LaRouche, and the far madder one of Jones, but the powerful Pacific Outfit managed to buy enough orbital weapons to save LA and other key locations. The mafia state of the Pacific begins its trek inland, putting down warlords and bringing them into the Family when it suits them.
The age of rocket soldiers died in the 1950s when the intercontinental ballistic missile made them irrelevant and jet fighters could do everything they could do better. But in the ruins of Nevada, a young man who spends his summers in a cropduster has found an antique in an attic. A rocketpack thats probably half a century old, and a really weird looking helmet...

Presidents of the United States of Latin Africa
1960 - 1969: Barthélemy Boganda † (MESAN)
1960 def: Antoine Gizenga (Parti Solidaire Africain)
1965 def. Gabriel Lisette (MNRCS), Ahmed Koulamallah (Union Action Sociale)
Appropriately enough, the first presidential election of the United States of Latin America was contested between two former Catholic priests, each with very different conceptions of the road ahead for post-colonial Africa. A veteran political activist with a distinctly rural manner, Boganda was the primary architect of the EUAL, envisioning a developed regional bloc to match the white-dominated Anglo states of South Africa and Rhodesia. His party MESAN sought to "liberate the black race through pacific evolution." Though he was hated in France, Boganda was much more palatable to the colonial establishment than his Belgian Congolese opponent, Antoine Gizenga, who was both a committed Marxist and opposed to the division of Francophone and Anglophone Africa. Boganda was elected with over 95% of the vote—though voter turnout was under 5%—and with the support of regional leaders like Patrice Lumumba and Gabriel Lisette, seemed to have a clear mandate to govern.
Boganda quickly discovered the unfortunate reality—the EUAL was not a unified state, or even a confederation: instead was a massive collection of ethnically disparate chieftains who had for decades been reliant on French colonial patronage and infrastructure to maintain what power they had. The coherent political program that MESAN represented never materialized, though Africanization did occur at the administrative level. In Léopoldville, Lumumba became increasingly regretful of his previous support of Boganda, and began talks with his rivals Gizenga and Kasa-Vubu to pull out of the union. They were followed by the rest of French Equatorial Africa, until by October 1962 the only states that remained in the "United States" were Chad and Boganda's native Oubangi-Shari. Lisette also soured on Boganda, but stopped short of supporting dissolving the union. Boganda stubbornly refused to resign, crushing an internal coup within MESAN and winning reelection in 1965 in a respectable landslide as the Chadian parties were bitterly divided. Boganda died suddenly in 1969; his death has been variously attributed to Chadian separatists, rivals within MESAN, French secret service, his own family members, or simply the strain of ruling a difficult country.
1969 - 1969: Abel Goumba (MESAN)
Though Boganda had cultivated several proteges within MESAN, none were as experienced or trusted as Abel Goumba. With a reputation for intelligence and honesty, he was the ideal candidate to assume the presidency after Boganda's death. Goumba's partisans locked his longtime rival David Dacko out of the MESAN leadership, a move that would later have serious consequences. Goumba himself was a relatively inoffensive leader; his first act as president was to issue a decree renaming the country as the "Central African Republic".
Presidents of the Central African Republic
1969 - 1970: Abel Goumba (MESAN)
1970 - 1971: Gabriel Lisette † (MNRCS)
1970 def: Abel Goumba (MESAN)
Goumba's honeymoon period proved short-lived; he was ousted the following year by Gabriel Lisette in the 1970 election. Chad now had over twice he population of Oubangi-Shari, and looked to usurp the latter's role as the political center of the Republic. This may have come to pass if it had not been Lisette who was elected. Born in Panama, Lisette came to Africa as a young man in the French colonial civil service. For this reason, he was resented by Chad's traditional elite and its native-born intellectuals; his previous flirtations with Marxism also did not work in his favor. Nevertheless he survived for over a decade in Chadian politics, eventually triumphing against both MESAN and the French-backed tribal reactionaries. Days after being elected he unveiled an ambitious plan of nationalization and modernization, cutting down on the obsolete bureaucracy that had been allowed to expand during Boganda's rule and taking a stronger stance against French interference. Lisette had issued his challenge, and France would respond.
On 15 December 1970, David Dacko met with Lieutenant-Colonel Alexandre Banza and two SDECE agents in a café in Libreville. While the particulars of their discussion are lost to history, the results were plain enough. On the night of 22 February 1971, President Lisette and his wife were roused from their beds by CAR Army privates and ordered to proceed to the Ministry of State building. Lisette insulted the soldiers and resisted, and was soon shot dead. Scarcely had his body cooled in Bangui did violence break out in N'Djamena and Moundou; soon the Chadian War of Independence would begin...

I've recently become quite fond of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, and I thought it might be fun to try and rationalize the frankly bizarre politics of the setting. In doing so I'm afraid I got a bit carried away, but I should have the footnotes finished shortly - I've just now finished writing up the canon events for Korra and Turf Wars. For now, here we are:

I won't go in the details. Sufficient to say, two things I'm sure about, is that it is pretty awful for minorities and LGBT folk, and that Theresa May is considered a liberal on social issues there, with many seeing her "lenient" stance on immigration as why she lost her majority in 2017.

Hayes imposes martial law in particularly badly affected states, mostly in the North and Upper South, which is rather controversial, coming only months after the Compromise which saw military forces withdrawn from the South. The rest of his term was quiet, in the sense that he didn't rock the boat aside from some civil service reforms, and kept his promise not to run for a second term.
[2] The brutal crushing of industrial action in the North saw the organising working class desert the Republicans, allowing the Democrats to win the White House for the first time since the Civil War. The 'Greenbacks' who mostly wanted a fiat currency but had been infiltrated by labour interests, didn't win any states but won enough of the vote to be taken notice of. Hancock steadily rowed back on military rule in states which had suffered most from industrial action but this simply gave the emergent trade union movement the oxygen it needed to grow. A wave of new strikes led to another wave of suppression. At 1884, a moderate Republican resurgence in the North and the victory of the Greenbacks in a swathe of Western states led to a hung electoral college. A grubby deal was worked out where Hancock would take on a Republican Vice President. Philip Sheridan entering the White House saw a wave of protests which culminated in the infamous Chicago Massacre. Hancock died in office, a disappointed man.
[3] Sheridan tried to implement some progressive legislation, for example laying the groundwork for a National Park in Yellowstone but was perpetually hamstrung by the precariousness of his own government and the conservative inclinations of his coalition. He also oversaw an expansion of military power in what had traditionally been seen as civilian responsibilities and America began to wonder if they had made a mistake by electing another 'man on a horse' in 1880. Sheridan died in office as well, leading to the first time a president pro tempore would take the Presidential oath office.
[4] Sherman was an uncharismatic, business like figure and for all that many Americans breathed a sigh of relief that a firm civilian was back in charge, more than a few lamented that it wasn't his brother. He led the Republicans to their worst result since the party's foundation, but it was another hung electoral college. The Solid South held up and the steady expansion of the newly organised Labor Party into the industrial north led to some debate on what to do. After a great deal of debate, it was decided that the Democrats and Republicans were united in not wanting Labor Power in the White House, and Thomas F. Bayard was too polarising a figure to take charge in such circumstances. Despite coming third in the popular and electoral vote, Sherman was still President and had a Democrat for the Veep. Political violence worsened over the next four years and the Panic of 1890 which set off a new economic depression only aggravated the situation. The fractiousness of the Democratic-Republican coalition, and resentment over Sherman's path to the Presidency prevented him from accomplishing much and it was a great relief to him to retire in 1892.
[5] It shouldn't have come as any surprise. The Labor Party had been expanding in the West, and then the North for years. For them to have a breakout in the South though, that was odd. But the sheer anti-Republican sentiment of Southern whites did not stretch to Labor and dissatisfaction with the wealth of the Planter interests and Bourbon Democrat political hierarchy led to moderate successes for the Labor ticket. For the first time since 1880, the electoral college produced a majority. Perhaps the Spirit of '77 has finally come home to roost.

Def: Dawn Butler (Labour) Jo Swinson/Anna Soubrey (Liberal Democrat/Moderate Alliance)
2023-202_: Priti Patel (Conservative Minority)
(1) Removed by members of her own party over rumoured plans to stay in a customs tunion
(2) A Vote of no confidence by Labour and Tory back benchers over comments and proposals for a hard Irish border would lead to an election where several Tory MPs stood as pro-Customs Union candidates.
(3) Despite not outpolling the Tories in the months leading to the November 2018 election. Thanks to a Tory split Jeremy Corbyn secured a majority of 23 but was tragically killed in car accident on his way to Palace. Investigations would discover there was no sabotage of the vehicle and it was simple a mechanical fault.
(4) Didn’t stand in leadership election.
(5) Jon Trickett narrowly beat Emily Thornberry in the final round of the Labour leadership. Both Watson and Tricket failed to secure a permanent Brexit Deal by March 1950 but did switch to the “Backstop deal”, ironically originally proposed under the May Government. This was a limited time period where free trade remained and Northern Ireland kept a soft bordere . Despite this the backstop had a strict limit. Jon Trickett (and Health minister Andy McDonald) resigned when confusion over customs lead to the death of a critically ill patient when Britain ran out of a key medication.
(6) As Deputy Leader Jon Ashworth (dubbed “Jon the Lesser” by political Wags) took over as Prime Minister but like Watson before him, didn’t run for Leader
(7) Dawn Butler became the first BAME Prime Minister (And first female Labour Prime Minister). She oversaw the integrations of Britain into a Customs partnership with Europe, formalised with the Treaty of Amsterdam. While this did lead to increased economic stability the outcry from the opposition and many newspapers saying this was selling out to Europe and the Express declared her declared her a traitor to the will of the people and the Tories and Labour repeatedly swapped places despite the Tories losing some votes to the Moderate Party (and in Scotland the SNP)
(8) Thanks to pro-customs union vote being split between Labour and the Lib Dem/Moderate Alliance he managed to form a minority government but died from a heart attack a month into the role
