Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

BREAKING NEWS: Russian tanks crossed the Latvian border yesterday, following weeks of spiralling negotiations between Premier Lebedev and Prime Minister Zile. Citing alleged suppression of Russian minorities in the country's east, Lebedev's "special policing operation" has...
such a punchline
 
Scariest part

It's a 90s-forever list, I felt I should lean into that in the online experience a bit. (Is it more sustainable than the hope-the-one-advertiser-and-500-VCs-never-question-where-the-money-pit-leads model we ended up with? Maybe. Does it also keep the Internet, and the counterculture on it, very limited in scope? Maybe.)

the way Comrade Gorbachev was the first song that came to mind when i was reading the list to lmaooo

I won't lie, it's a banger--was very much on my mind when I was writing.

such a punchline
Never ask
A MAN his age
A WOMAN her salary
MIKHAIL GORBACHEV what he signed off on in January 1991
More seriously, if the list has a "point", it's that a Gorbachevism which succeeded in "reforming" the Soviet Union would have, well, restored the Soviet Union, and by the same token there's no real reason to believe that Russia's foreign policy would suddenly change to that of being a sort of gigantic Belgium.

The Eight Celestial Emperors and their Fates

Fascinatingly lyrical--really conjures up something very different. Space opera and dynastic hagiography merges really well!

It’s why the Baltic States tried to get the hell out of dodge and why Ukraine kept on laughing at Gorby’s constant attempts to get them in line. Gorby even had to put the referendum with specific wording to essentially rig a result that would be in his favour.

1931: Great Slump. Lords votes down budget of 1931. The King forces Alexander to hold another election before he can pass it.
Oswald Mosley (Centre-led National Front) 1931-1934
1931 [coal.]: def. A. V. Alexander (Co-operative), Leo Amery (Liberal), Walter Runciman (Modern), Winston Churchill (Conservative), Emmett Dalton (Justice for Ireland), John Hargreave (Atlantean Alliance)
1932: Reformation of the House of Lords as the "Executive Committee", appointment of business, military and a few trade union figures to it.
1933: Imperial Federation proposal passes Commons and Committee, but rejected by Australia, NZ and South Africa.
1934: Attempted repeal of Representation of the People (Ireland) Act, sudden disappearance of Mosley. Ironside announces Eden will take over.
Anthony Eden ('National' Conservative-led National Front, then British National majority) 1934-1937
1934: Constitutional Act passes, funnelling more power to Executive Committee.
1935: Merger of Centre, Liberals, Moderns, 'National' Conservatives and Atlanteans into British National Party. Justice for Ireland expelled.
1936 [maj.]: def. Clement Attlee and Ben Tillett (Conservative and Co-operative), Emmett Dalton (Justice for Ireland) [expelled]
1937: General Fuller receives a 'vision' of the future from Hadit of What Will Come To Be, and encouraged by Crowley and Hargreave, makes play for power. Eden, paranoid ever since Mosley was 'disappeared', resigns at once. The King feels forced to call upon Fuller to take over.
J. F. C. Fuller (British National majority) 1937-1941
1937: Preparations for the 'Great Work' continues as the armed forces continue to remilitarise, much to France's concern. Fuller appoints more men [and some women] from the Atlanteans to the Executive Committee, strengthening the political influence of esotericism.
1939: 'Great Work' begins with sudden invasion of France by air. Second Global War begins in Europe. France falls in winter of 1939-40.
1940: Alliance forged with Dimitrije Stojaković's Austro-Slavia and other sympathetic countries as the 'Eternal Pact'. Invasion of Germany starts.
1941: Fuller becomes convinced Ironside is plotting against him, and moves against him. Internal coup removes him, places Baldwin in.
Stanley Baldwin (British National majority) 1941
1941: Alexander Raven Thomson proposes 'New European Order', which Baldwin's cabinet votes for, over PM's discomfort. 'NEO' leads to formation of the 'Kingdom of France' and other puppet states of Britain, all supposedly united under 'European nationalism'. Austro-Slavia also joins it. Later that year, 'Operation Unthinkable' is proposed and in a war fervour is backed. Britain declares war on the United States. Baldwin resigns.
Edmund Ironside (British National majority) 1941-1946
1941: The man who made three [arguably four] Prime Ministers finally is handed power himself as the first Prime Minister from the Executive Committee [even Fuller had a seat in the Commons]. NEO and Unthinkable continues, but he tightens control over cabinet and seeks to expand the Eternal Pact. Brazil under its freshly-independent revolutionary junta is brought in. Plinio Salgado shakes hands with Ironside, a deal well made.
1942: Invasion of Russia by Austro-Slavia gives Ironside a headache, but as per NEO and Eternal Pact, he declares war, just before the election. He also appoints Harold Macmillan to 'manage' the development of Ireland under the supervision of Viceroy Don Bennett.
1942 [maj.]: def. Independents [all other parties 'suspended' for duration of the war]
1943: Battle of the Atlantic rages on. Ironside floats Emergency Act dissolving Commons 'for the time duration', handing over all power to the Committee and Prime Minister. The King, suspicious of Ironside's ambition, declines to work with him and cabinet proves unwilling no matter what.
1944: The war in the east starts to crack despite the troops seeing Moscow. Attempts at a negotiated peace between Russia and Austro-Slavia falls apart and Ironside comes away with a deep disdain of his Austrian allies. Meanwhile, Brazil sees the war come to its home front.
1945: The Eternal Pact increasingly isn't so eternal, as Brazil collapses and Russia marches westwards. Pushed on by Raven Thomson, Ironside announces the first meeting of the 'European Council', tightening control over Britain's 'allies' in the name of Europeanism. This... doesn't help much.
1946: Germany has fallen. Stojaković is hanged. The Russians are on the Rhine. The Americans are reported to have made landfall on Ireland. The King calls on his Prime Minister to have a meeting with him. The outcome is certain.
John Tolkien (Independent) 1946
1946: Ireland has fallen, and the demands of the Americans [backed up by the Russians] is unconditional surrender. The King, now enjoying unlimited power for the first time in his life after removing the now disgraced Ironside, refuses. His Prime Minister - a broadly-loyal university professor who is mostly there to fill a position - tries to make secret negotiations, but fails to get anything, much to his dismay. The King declares that Britain "will fight, and Britain will be right". Two artificial suns on Manchester and Glasgow later, Tolkien successfully votes through the Cabinet's acceptance of the American demand in the aftermath, and orders someone to lock the King in his bedroom.

The new aeon of Britain has finally concluded with unimaginable horrors.

[1] George Lincoln Rockwell would rise to prominence in the 1950s as one of the harshest “Japan Hawks” in congress. Serving in the Pacific Front, Rockwell would state that witnessing many of Japan’s war crimes would shock and disgust him to the point that, shortly after being elected to Illinois’s 16th congressional district, he resigned in 1953 to serve in the “Freedom Paramilitary” during the Mongolian War, a largely mismatched group of Chinese and Mongolian dissidents opposed to both the Soviet Union and Japan’s presence in the war. Rockwell returned to the country after the end of the war, which saw the People’s Republic of Mongolia remain nominally independent, but the Mongolian-Mengjiang DMZ created.

Upon a return to the United States after the failure of his aims, Rockwell would be elected senator from Illinois in 1960, defeating Liberal party icon Paul Douglas on an “archconservative” platform. His time in the senate saw him emerge as a leading conservative voice, and he forged a working alliance with the new class of Southern Republicans and the Constitution party. Rockwell sought to form a “national pact” for conservatism, being known for his stump speeches across the country, to the point that his “extreme anti-Asiatic” rhetoric is often blamed for the murder of Liberal party California gubernatorial candidate Dalip Saud in 1962.

[2] One of the only Southern Liberals in office by the 1970s, Al Gore became the first ever Liberal party president largely due to public perception that Robert Kennedy was particularly “untrustworthy” his presidency began desegregation (described as part of a Soviet-Japanese plot by some) and saw a return to Liberal internationalism, a proud part of Southern Liberal tradition. Gore and his Secretary of State Alf Landon formed the “Euro-American Trade Community”,, an economic alliance between the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, Portugal, France, Britanny, Belgium, and several of the remaining West German city-states that remained powerful after “Morgenthauization” and the “Era of Anarchy”.

Leaders of the Soviet Union:
1945-1951: Joseph Stalin (CPSU)
1951-1965 [1]: Lavrentiy Beria (CPSU)

1969-0000: Dmitriy Ustinov (CPSU)

[1] Named "the Butcher of Russia" for his refusal to stop the "Doctors Pogroms" in Georgia following Stalin's death and his support for the Darkhad Genocide in Mongolia. Removed from office in 1965 by '65 Troika after attempting to negotiate a "sale" of East Germany with United States.

1978 def. Reginald Maudling (Conservative), Peter Shore (Labour), Andrew Fountaine (National Interest)

[1] Known in history as the PM who let the white-minority UDI-states of Kenya and Rhodesia go, Lyttelton would spend much of his ministry desperately holding onto the British Empire. His administration would lose power over the Omani War, which saw Britain decisively lose a colony in an armed conflict. Hong Kong, Malta, and Cyprus would be fully integrated into United Kingdom during his term.
