Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

This is absolutely incredible. It's interesting to think of how LaRoucheism might have spread and become An Actual Thing, and this is frankly the cherry on the cake of an absolutely brilliant list.
You will be pleased to note, if you aren't already aware, that the LaRoucheites genuinely did win that by-election - although Perrett defected to the Nationals within the year.
Oh,very good.

Say,do you plan on making any timelines again or are you just gonna do vignette and lists?

Cuz I’m fine either way,was just curious

Keep it going,you wondrous stream of talent and phreshness.
Probably at some point, but I'm scared of commitment.

Don’t worry.You’ve clearly shown by now that you can do stuff like that.

You just need to relax.

I’m not pressuring you.I just want you to use your talent properly,if I may say so.

Do what you think is best for you.
 
Part of something I'll get around to actually doing one day

2 March 1934: attempted coup d'état in Chihuahua City; 'Legitimist' government pledges support to Hull Government, putschists declare 1933 state and Presidential elections illegitimate and appoint their own Governor.

1934 (Mar- ): José "Pepito" Arango (Legitimist - Radical Liberal)
1934 (Mar- ): Jesús Antonio Almeida Fierro (Freedom)

[1] Despite the reorganisation of the Mexican states into Imperial departments, old loyalties died hard and many administrators - including Terrazas - were able to rule two or three departments at a time, directly or indirectly.

[2] Terracismo was enshrined as the order of the day when one of Don Luis' sons was appointed Governor. Juan - who like his brother Alberto and many others in the Spanish Confederacy went by an Anglicised name - operated the State of Chihuahua as a business enterprise under the executive management of the Terrazas clan.

[3] Miguel Ahumada tended more liberal than Terracistas, aiming to head off labour unrest as a tide of peons left the haciendas for the growing towns and railway projects fuelled by investment from Richmond, New Orleans, and Sheffield [Birmingham, AL]. It worked, for a time, though it came at the cost of alienating the reactionary wing of the state Democratic Party and setting him at odds with Don Luis.

[4] The brief flowering of liberalism in Chihuahua under Ahumada's wing of the Democrats, in tandem with a growing reformist sentiment as the CSA entered the twentieth century (and Chihuahua entered the nineteenth), led to a narrow victory for the Partido Radical - which represented the Spanish Confederacy and Southern Catholics - and a sudden intercession from the Terrazas clan to protect its investments.

As he inspected the works on the Confederate transcontinental railroad works snaking their way through the Sierra Madre, González was shot down by an assassin suspected to be in the employ of Don Luis. His last words "yo me muero en la raya", were a fitting end to the life of an underdog.

[5] The son of a Kentuckian who remained in Mexico after the United States pulled its consular representation from the rebel-held state of Chihuahua in the 1860s, Creel married into the Terrazas clan in his youth and became embedded in the state's affairs following the Acquisition, taking the Governorship as a steady administrator of the Old Man's grand design for the state.

[6] In his ninth decade, the Old Man was rotated back into the Governor's Palace to keep the system running smoothly while his son-in-law went north with the C.S. Army in the fighting along the Rio Grande. And then, in 1915, the unthinkable happened.

[7] José Jesús Arango Arambula - El Gran Pepito - was the only man who could have done what he did. Standing against an incumbent President in wartime? Done. Winning the best vote the opposition had ever gotten while doing so? Done. Returning home in triumph to chase out an entrenched hacendadocracy? Done.

The Radical Liberals finally achieved critical mass with the soldiers' vote, and were able to hold their own even after peace broke out in 1916. While the Democrats reasserted their control over Chihuahua in the 1919 local elections, Arango had proven that their grip was not absolute, and worked to build a Rad Lib empire and turn the tables on the hacendados.

[8] After some considerable turbulence caused by the revolution and civil war south of the border (Representative Arango's frequent absences from the House were studiously ignored by his colleagues, as were the alleged sightings in Coahuila alongside the republican rebels), something approximating a two-party system took shape. This period would be brief, as the deaths of Don Luis and his two sons broke the political, if not the economic, power of the Terrazas clan.

[9] This made way for a new and improved dominant-party system, with Arango content to leave the business of governing to party loyalists while he got down to the business of leading. Land reforms were passed, some hacendados were isolated from their fellows and their holdings liquidated, and the corruption of the old order was replaced with the corruption of the new. The Democrats briefly returned to power with the full force of the hacendados behind them, only to be crushed by the economic collapse and a wave of popular fury.

By 1934, the Radical Liberal party in Chihuahua was second only to perhaps Louisiana in terms of total control. Sitting on a mountain of potential - resource-rich but cash-poor, full of energetic young men but lacking jobs - Arango had the clay from which he could mould a personal army and carve out a small empire. With the failed coup at home and the successful coups further east, he had his chance.

Peculiarly for North America, the Chihuahuan gubernatorial system was a parliamentary one, a holdover of Mexico's republican period where governors were appointed by the state legislature.

Due to this system and the single-party-dominant nature of the politics elsewhere in the Confederacy, Chihuahuan politics were dominated by the 'Turno Democratico', where a selection of members of the local elite were appointed as Governor by the Democrat-dominated state house. Although Federal House and Senate elections followed the two- and six-year terms of the Confederate Constitution, the unicameral state House was returned annually in a system where hacendados, who owned vast landholdings and controlled most of the state's wealth, told their peons how to vote in a rubber-stamp process no other Confederate state matched for corruption (even Louisiana, where ascendant crime bosses could unseat more established foes in their pecuniary bids for elected office). Thus, the hacendados who owned practically all the land in Chihuahua could buy and trade the office of Governor, often as barter for more material assets.

The inaugural holder of this office was an opportunistic landholder who had played the Juarezista and Maxilimianista sides of the Mexican conflict in the 1860s and leveraged himself into a position of unparalleled power in the north of Mexico. Don Luis Terrazas made himself amenable to the Confederate military government before the Acquisition even occurred, and ensured that his extended family would hold dominion over the reformed State of Chihuahua for the next four decades.

With the Radical Liberal ascendancy under the mercurial Pepito Arango and the nationwide weakening of the Democratic Party's grasp on power in the wake of the Great War, change and conflict came to the Confederate Southwest. While Alvaro Obregon built the Freedom Party apparatus in neighbouring Sonora to the level of a surrogate government, Arango attempted to co-opt the entrenched power structures that had kept the Terrazas clan in power for his own (and his own party's) ends.

After the Democratic Party wore the blame for the disasters of the late 1920s - tens of thousands of livelihoods destroyed by the boll weevil, tens of thousands dead in the Mississippi Flood, and millions of livelihoods endangered by the nationwide economic collapse in 1929 (while the damnyankees kept living it up under their Socialist government which had poured cold water on the stockmarket) - the Radical Liberals' path to the Presidency looked increasingly assured for 1933. Like Louisiana and Cuba (and increasingly Georgia, thanks to a byzantine electoral system), the Rad Libs in Chihuahua shut the Democrats out of government the way they had themselves been disenfranchised for decades, even as the Freedom Party did the same in Sonora under Arango's nemesis, the energetic war hero Alvaro Obregon.

The Freedom Party's re-emergence was an unwelcome interruption to those plans. Ainsworth Layne had been martyred in '21 by a mad Freedomite, and the Rad Libs were damned if they'd let Featherston get them twice. The 1931 tri-terms were prefaced by political violence which ground the nation to a halt, with Tin Hats, Freedom Riders, Scalawags, Banditos, and a dozen other paramilitary groups battling on the streets of Richmond, Charleston, Atlanta, and Dallas. The same, if not worse, was predicted for 1933.

And when a few thousand votes across three districts in eastern Tennessee threw the state to the Rad Libs, allowing them to eke out a narrow plurality of the electoral and national votes and put Hull and Long in the Gray House after the election went to the House - then, the Freedom Party resorted to alternative measures.

Cut off from the rest of the CSA by Freedom-held Texas and Hosea Blackford's stringently neutral USA, Chihuahua can choose to fight its way to the Legitimist holdouts on the Pacific coast, or stand its ground against the inevitable attack from the east.

Or if you're El Gran Pepito, maybe both.

Inspired by a post by @Kato , "what happens if both Eddy and Prince George die in the same year from being ill":


1901 - 1908, Edward VII

1908 - 1930, Louise I

Losing one son absolutely shattered Edward - losing two more in the same year is a blow that he never gets over, causing his old charm to fade into weary duty. With Edward unable to perform diplomatic duties as well as the government needs, Princess Louise is pressed into duty as a walking, talking charm offensive, weaponising both her relation to seemingly every other European monarch ("Europe's cousin") and that, as a young woman who's notoriously shy & quiet, too many powerful men have their guards down around her. After all, how big a deal can Louise be? (Answer: quite a bit when she's patiently listened to what the Prime Minister and his team want, then keeps her ears open and says the prepared questions)

One of her great early coups is being the angel on the Tsar's shoulder against "cousin Willy's" devil, helping talk him into continued negotiations with Britain's ally Japan rather than going to war.

Edward dies in his sleep quite suddenlyand the Empire is quite shocked - from a seemingly undying queen to such a short-lived king rattles people's faith. (1)

Louise as queen is, according to the official line in the press, a figure of quiet dignity and patience in our dark times, but behind closed doors it's Her Royal Shyness - what was an asset when she was a diplomatic weapon is trickier now she's the actual monarch and technically your boss. (The upside if you're a suffragette is two queens in quick succession helps gets votes for women of the right class passed)

The crisis comes so early it's like it was written by a lazy storyteller: the Bosnian Crisis kicks off, and Russia, stuck with ongoing tensions with Japan and leaning to Germany for help in a potential war, decides to recognise Austria-Hungary's claims in exchange for the Dardanelles (which Vienna hands over under German pressure). Louise's old tactics don't work when she's the queen (2) and Britain's government feels it will need to show strength next time. "Next time" results in the Great Eastern War in 1911 as the Russo-Japanese tensions erupt into a Russia-Germany VS Japan-UK war, the first industrial modern war - five months of bloodshed that horrifies the victors, sparks a revolution in Russia, and kicks off all manner of conflict in eastern Europe now two of the regional powers have been thwacked.

British disgruntlement over the war - "what did WE get out of backing a bunch of [racial slur]" as much as the sight of wounded men - mixes with all the other disgruntlement, and 1914 sees a Labour-Irish Parliamentary-rump-Liberal-radical coalition under MacDonald that brings in Home Rule and universal suffrage. The Irish Emergency duly kicks off as protestant militias decide to "fight and be right", a chunk of the army backs them, and a large section of the Conservative Party are making noises. The country teeters, thousands die, and an exhausted Louise is shuttled around again to use the monarchy's symbolism to get enough of the mutineers, militias, and MPs begrudgingly on-side that things can be more-or-less resolved.

The next Labour government, free from 'Irish issues' and need to keep the Liberals around, is able to be greatly transformative and some of that even reaches colonies; peace and diplomacy is the name of the game between the great powers, war to be avoided (people's colonial conflicts and any fighting in the Balkans that doesn't have a great power actively fighting another is, of course, another issue). Even when the Liberals take power again after the American Depression knocks Europe a bit, the world seems calmer to Britain. Unique among the left-wing governments moving to power at the time is that Queen Louise stays in place: partly because she's quiet and not threatening to Labour, partly for her record of diplomacy in the past.

Then in 1930, she abdicates due to ongoing issues with a gastric hemorrhage - and dies the year later. A shocked nation mourns.



(1) Lingering depression combines with his existing smoking habits, made worse by said depression, takes him out a few years early.

(2) They don't know Austria-Hungary would have shoved its way to getting what it wants under George.

Benson (America First (Neo-Longist))

You should be feeling a great deal of vindication @Japhy, in the latest update for Kaiserreich they've completely changed the build up to the American Civil War so MacArthur can make common caue with Huey Long and the other America Firsters like George Van Horn Moseley.
 
Ooh, Ralph Hanan. Spicy.

You also win big points for James K. Baxter as the Democratic Labor man, but lose out for not going full Xenophon and calling Gaweth's vehicle something like "Evidence - The Gareth Morgan Team".
Full Xenophon would be either 'Gareth Morgan Team', 'Gareth Morgan's NZ-BEST' or 'No Cats'. Most other Aussie Ego Parties have the format '[NAME]'s [PRINCIPLE] Party', with the main exceptions being the Jacqui Lambie Network (which, appropriately, doesn't even pretend to have a unifying idea) and Pauline Hanson's One Nation, which cannily avoids being lumbered with the abbreviation 'PHONP'.

Will be doing another version of this list, based on putting Actual Thought into it.
 
Version Two, having realised that the decentralised nature of the NZ population makes having the Liberals as the dominant party in the Coalition pretty unlikely.

May finally fucks off at some point this year, and the inevitable happens. The Johnson years manage to be as chaotic as the May years, with dysfunctional administration, neverending Tory civil War and the recession caused by a "managed No Deal" proving impossible to spin. Johnson decides to go to the country early, counting on his high personal approval ratings; a disatrous gamble that was probably worth taking.

Having finally brought socialism into true power, Corbyn finds its not quite what it's cracked up to be. He struggles to manage the PLP and the SNP alongside his ambitious legislative agenda, and a final treaty with the EU (and a border poll agreement with Ireland) prove to be unpopular with most, and proves to be his undoing in more than one way. The right in its many forms goes full Kulturkampf against Corbyn and Labour in every way possible, and incendiary rhetoric culminates in the Blackpool Hotel attacks, where Corbyn and a dozen other Labour officials are assassinated at the hands of a violent EDL group.

Thornberry is the most credible surviving cabinet member, and her tribute outside Downing Street hours after the attack sealed her authority. Cracking down hard on far-right groups and pushing through something resembling a Green New Deal as summer droughts worsen prove easier said than done, even after winning the first majority in a decade on a sympathy vote. Robinson manages to escape the crackdown and the aftermath of the Northern Irish Border Poll sees the far-right backlash return over the loss of a province most Britons never cared about in the first place.

Ultimately, it was a faltering economy which brought down Thornberry, who was still the longest-serving Prime Minister since Blair. Bradley has made a slightly-too-comfortable alliance with Robinson, who runs the party via proxy from outside of Parliament. Still, this is a very shaky arrangement that many Tories are uncomfortable with.
