HNC-verse: 549 SR Hynachtheran Federal Election
vScUzi3.png

tZpySx1.png
Long story short (i dont feel like writing a write-up) a wave of Hynachtheran Nationalism™ struck the nation, with adverse effects for the somewhat globalist-ish Illés Ministry, much to the delight of the Wisteria Revolutionaries (particularly its newly founded nationalist Hyacinth Faction) and a resurgent Velvet National Party.

Some Notes:
  • Yes, I know there are issues re: citizenship and all that...
    ...they are handwaved and ASBed away
  • and of course, once again, don't take this seriously; I don't claim to know the political inclinations nor ambitions of any K-pop idol ever.

This timeline exists in the same world for Twice upon a Velvet Pink Moon except this one has considerably less K-pop idols. Instead, you have a Philippines that got independence in 1945 (no Japanese invasion) and turned parliamentary republic!

Things... happened between 1983 and 1984.

Hmm. I feel like the positions of Busan/Ilsan and Greater Seoul should be swapped and then Pyeongyang dropped on top of that column.

The white space top-right would then basically be where you'd have the title/key for a particular year.

Just my electoral map graphics sense tingling really, the actual finish is nicely crisp.
 
Twice upon a Velvet Pink Moon: 2036 Korean legislative election

no lore, just vibes

but basically Liberty Korea, the main conservative party got wrecked following the impeachment of President Lee Seung-hyun for... scandals. The youth vote gets swept by the Mugunghwa Party, a social democratic anti-establishment party that seeks to upend the traditional two-party system.

HNC-verse: Region Profiles: The Government of Taurida
HETMANATE OF TAURIDA

Executive:
The Hetman of Taurida is a position elected by the Tauridan legislature and acts as the head of state. In theory, anyone can be elected to the hetmancy, but in practice, only members of the Tariko Dynasty get elected, as their family has gained prestige for negotiating comfortable terms for Taurida during the Treaty of Klivanja.

The Court of the Hetman acts as an advisory body to the Hetman, advising them in administrative matters. Each member is approved by the Hetman, elected by the Rada, chosen from a list of candidates provided by the Chairman.

Legislature: The Legislative Rada of Taurida acts as the legislature of Taurida, with it's head, the Chairman of the Rada acting as the head of government. The chairmanship is elected by a majority of the Rada and with the approval of the Hetman. The Hetman can, at any time, dismiss the Chairman and call for new chairmanship elections.

The Rada's 60 members are elected in two ways:
  • 20 members are elected in the two urban constituencies of Safidsarai and Tsikhanov. Each urban constituency gets 10 members who are elected at large
  • 40 members are elected via 40 first-past-the-post rural constituencies
By law, each member of the Rada must be non-partisan and must not belong to any political grouping. This is to ensure they are truly representing local interests.
 
HNC-verse: Region Profiles: The Government of Pontus
GRAND DUCHY OF PONTUS

Executive: The Megas Doukas of Pontus is the head of state of Pontus; a monarchical position under the Cheimonotis-Dimitriadis Dynasty since the end of the Great Confederal War and the Treaty of Klivanja. The monarchy uses absolute primogeniture to determine succession.

The Dikastrios tis Sofias acts as the cabinet of Pontus and an advisory body to the Megas Doukas, advising them in administrative matters. The body is composed of retired Gerousia members and those unilaterally appointed by the Megas Doukas.

Legislative: The Pontic Legislature is composed of two parts: the lower house Vouli and the upper house Gerousia.

The Vouli is elected through 120 single transferable vote geographical constituencies. The Vouli almost has no power except for the approval of laws written by the Gerousia and the election of the Sevastokrator, the Pontic head of government and ex-officio member of the Gerousia.

The Gerousia is elected through 60 "functional" districts determined by profession (or lack thereof). Preference for the "drawing" of these districts is given to those who work in STEM jobs, and the system is heavily biased against the unemployed (having only one district) and those who have "low-skill" jobs.

There are three main parties in Pontus:
  • The Scientific Revolution (Epistimoniki Epanastasi) or the Orange Demos is a technocratic libertarian pro-status quo party that favors allocating money to research grants for Pontic scientists.
  • The Pontic Workers' Vanguard (Pontiaki Ergatiki Protoporia) or the Blue Demos is a regionalist socialist pro-status quo party that advocates for worker's rights and better working conditions.
  • The United Pontic Solidarity (Eniaia Pontiaki Allilengyi) or the Red Demos is a radical reformist party that advocates for the limitation of the powers of the Gerousia and the Dikastrios.

Hi! Long time no post, but I've got a few projects up and running, so without further ado, here's Sa Kuko ng Liwanag (In The Claws of Light), where the Philippines gets reformed after a more successful (yet ultimately failed) Novalés Revolt (which seems to be a popular PoD for PH TLs), with insular and mestizo governor-generals across the 19th century. Further reforms and rising tensions in Cuba lead to a short-lived 1898 Revolution as the Spanish reluctantly grant the Philippines independence (well, with the Philippine crown still held by the Spanish king).

The Philippine trudges on to the 20th century, but rising political violence and tension leads to an uneasy 20s as the Philippines reels from the assassination of a prime minister and rising far-left and far-right movements. Tensions reach a peak with the Socialist Workers Party gaining a plurality of seats in the 1925 elections. A coup sanctioned by Alfonso XIII leads to the Philippines entering a dictatorship for six years. However, tensions in the home country see the unpopular king getting ousted after Spain goes through its own dictatorship era. As Alfonso XIII and the royal family escape to the Philippines in hopes of better fortunes, more independently minded Filipinos decided now is the time to break themselves free from the shackles of Spain. And thus, the long, nearly 80 year long Philippine Warring States Period begins...
