aaa's bad memory palace

So my little shitpost idea got a bit out of hand and now there's a long to-do list for what I've come to call the Katterverse. I'd just like to give a huge, huge thank you to Libby, Juniper, Olivia, Erin, Kaiseremu, and everyone else whose suggestions have helped bring this universe to life.

And now, the Katterverse goes across the Pacific!

City Hall is an American political satire television series created and written by comedian Barry Dunham, and produced by No Malarkey Productions. The series is a satirical exploration of corruption and incompetence in Chicago's halls of power, and provides a humorous take on the various political machines and power brokers rampant throughout the city's history.

The series began as a collaboration between Dunham, his longtime partner, entertainment lawyer Michelle Robinson, and thriller novelist Joe Biden. It was the first series produced by Biden's production company, No Malarkey Productions. The series released its first ten-episode season in 2020 and another in 2021. It has been renewed for a third season, set to be released in mid-2022.

Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden Jr., also known by his pen name Robin Heaney, is an American novelist, producer, and screenwriter best known for his political thriller novels and his work on the television series City Hall. Biden published his first book, The 11:30 to Baltimore, in 1973, starting his successful Senator Deacon series. He also writes children's books about trains and other forms of transportation under the pseudonym Robin Heaney. Biden's books have sold over 110 million copies worldwide.

Biden is also heavily involved in healthcare activism, having been motivated to campaign for universal healthcare following his wife and children being injured in a 1972 car crash. Biden currently serves as co-executive producer of City Hall, a political satire comedy created by comedian Barry Dunham. The show was the first series to be produced by Biden's production company, No Malarkey Productions.

The 11:30 to Baltimore

On the Amtrak train from Washington to Baltimore, newly-elected US Senator Tom Deacon is approached by a calm, well-dressed man who informs him that his wife and baby daughter have been kidnapped and will be killed in five days unless he can successfully convince the Governor to appoint a relatively unknown official to a vacant Senate seat. In an adventure involving corruption, secret networks, and a mysterious cult, Deacon must work with his chief of staff and a young and ambitious FBI agent to locate his family while also figuring out the kidnappers' endgame before it's too late.

The Tory leader is Edward Llewellyn, David Cameron's chief of staff during his time as LOTO and as PM, now a member of the House of Lords, albeit on leave as he's the current Ambassador to Italy. Labour is led by Brendan O'Connor, IRL a minister in the Australian cabinet, who was born in London to Irish-born parents.
Interesting stuff, nice mix of hipster and sensible all around. I’m guessing with a Nandy Liberals and Llewellyn Tories being the big players on the Centre Left and Right, Labour is a bit Redder than OTL.

More or less. The Liberal PMs above should give you a sense of what the party is like. There's also something fundamentally different about Britain that hasn't really been explicitly depicted in anything I've posted here, that'll come soon enough.
