being appointed to represent the Crown in the United Provinces, the most prestigious job in the broader Empire, perhaps barring the Viceroy of India.

This definitely feels like one of those things that 'should' be the case in a 'realistic' British Empire, as opposed to the reality:

In the conversation that the Queen had with Lord Aberdeen last week, she omitted mentioning two persons to him. The one is Lord Heytesbury; the Queen believes him to be a very able man, and would it not therefore be a good thing to employ him in some important mission? The other person is Mr Aston, who is at Madrid; the Queen hopes it may be possible to leave him there, for she thinks that he acted with great discretion, prudence, and moderation since he has been there, and the post is one of considerable importance. He was, the Queen believes, long Secretary to the Legation at Paris.

...The situation of Governor-General of India has recently been proposed by Sir Robert Peel for Lord Heytesbury's acceptance, which has been declined by him, and it is understood that Lord Heytesbury is not at present desirous of public employment.

Footnote: [Heytesbury] was made Governor and Captain of the Isle of Wight, and Governor of Carisbrooke Castle.

"Do you want to run India? No? OK, how about the Isle of Wight?"

no to be entirely frank those naming conventions are solid for a Western Liberal Democracy; i imagine if our party system wasn't defined by the factors it is IOTL we would end up having a very similar National/Labor dynamic that most Euro states have

Has it really been almost two months?

I return with a new series that I've dubbed Well We're Not Homophobes, in reference to a comment once made by Farage after being heckled.

Not entirely happy with the map in 2020 I must admit, and there's an error in the 2015 I really should have fixed.

Sorry for the later reply but I'm so intrigued by this, what are the new voter coalitions looking like? And what was your rationale behind the EV allocation changes and the 2 new states, I've really gotta know

Also what are VAP and CVAP?

Thanks to the Climate Crisis, the South has emptied out (states like Alabama and Florida due to rampant flooding, Arizona and Texas due to heatwaves). This also has the effect of driving over a shit-ton of rural voters to the populist left, who have taken on a communitarian pitch over the years. The influx of people has made some states where middle-class moderates are the backbone of their "left-wing" (e.g. Virginia, Connecticut) become bastions for the "other side".

Essentially the PDP (People's Democratic Party) are the party of the blue-collar, downtrodden, displaced and populist. With that in mind, the Unionists are more-or-less the well-off moderates and whatever's left of the suburbanites.

The new states are just DC and Puerto Rico.

VAP stands for Voting Age Population and CVAP is Citizen Voting Age Population. TL;DR the former is "how many people who are old enough to vote did so? and the latter is "how many citizens old enough to vote did so?"

For spooky season:

​

The Sangre De Cristo massacre, also known as the Savageland massacre, was a spree killing that occurred on the evening of June 2, 2011, in the bordertown of Sangre De Cristo in the American state of Arizona. Mexican immigrant and local handyman Francisco Salazar committed the murders of 57 men, women and children, which made up the total population of Sangre De Cristo. Salazar's trial and sentencing received national media coverage and heavily influenced debates on domestic immigration and border control in 2012's presidential election. While never admitting to the crimes, nor speaking a word in his defence, Salazar was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to death by lethal injection. He was buried in a private plot, later discovered to be vandalised and his remains missing.

The case is known for its many peculiarities and inconsistencies. Upon discovery of the town post-massacre, only seven bodies located Sangre De Cristo were found intact enough to positively identify; all were thoroughly dismembered and featured multiple bite marks, with the other bodies noted as missing with no clear evidence of burial. Trails of blood were also discovered at random points throughout the town leading out into the desert, until suddenly stopping, again with no clear evidence of burial. In his recorded interrogation, prior to lapsing into a catatonic state, Salazar claimed the townspeople were killed by an unknown mob of violent individuals, who also attacked him before he fled into the desert. This is corroborated by photographs supposedly taken by Salazar during the night of the attack, which seem to show a number of unidentified strangers assaulting multiple civilians. Due to the bizarre nature of the photographs and the status of Salazar's clemency appeal, they were ruled inadmissible in court.
