President Suarez is proposing dual citizenship opportunities for citizens of Deseret, Alaska, and the American Federation who wish to work in the Confederacy or attend one of the fine Universities here in the south. There is also no reason that Tourism cannot continue. We still maintain all of our beaches and historical sites that are important to the culture of all of those living on the North American continent.

You have one, maybe two neighboring countries that are at war with you. If I get India in this war on my side, you will be helplessly trapped. I advise you to return that land to Indonesia, or I will offically declare war on you!

"Hungover?" Makena Chipo's cheerful voice didn't help Louren's disposition. He opened his eyes, the world swimming into sharpness. He was in the break room. "Come on, got the morning news to do."
Louren Fons waved at his fellow anchor in the vague way that suggests 'yeah, yeah, I know, and I'm getting up'. "I'll leave you to get ready. 10 minutes." The eternally cheerful Makena left the room.
The award-winning anchorman had to steady himself as he got up. He rubbed his eye and made his way to the coffee machine. The coffee was, as expected, terrible. He'll get that van der Merwe kid to get him some real coffee from the canteen when he got to the new room. But it woke him up enough to see that his tie wasn't straight. He fixed it up, and tried a few smiles in the mirror, just to make sure he still had it. He did.
In corridor he passed a few faces he recognised, briefly acknowledging them. He arrived at Studio 9. Pushing the door open, he saw the usual chaos that came with a live show going on air in 5 minutes.
The floor manager rushed up to him and directed him to his seat. Not that he forgot where it was, but he needed a basic run down of the stories. He asked for coffee. The work experience boy was sent to go get it.
While the make-up lady made him look acceptable to the viewing public, Louren thought. His first big break was covering the Namibian War of Independence. That's where he met his wife, in the war-torn streets. But he really got noticed with his reports in the South American invasion. In fact, he'd just finished a documentary on life in occupied Rio Gallegos when he got the call that he had made anchorman of the morning slot.
The countdown had begun. People rushed into positions. Shapes in the gallery moved around. Louren and Makena began to appear to be talking. "5...4...3..." the last two were motioned and...
"Hello, I'm Makena Chipo."
"And I'm Louren Fons."
"And this is Ontbijt, only on UBC."
"And boy do we have an exciting show for you today."
"That's right, Louren. We have Marius Lieke in to tell us about his new show, Shades of Grey, premiering this Wednesday."
"Our chef Nomusa Kamaria will be doing some interesting things with onions."
"And our money-saving guru Cailyn Roosje will be telling you how to look fabulous for less with the January sales."
"But first, and I think the biggest story of the year. President Mbeki was sworn into office yesterday. He takes over from Nelson Mandela today, leading South Africa into the new millennium."
"Mmmhmm, most of the Union was celebrating last night, especially in Patagonia when they heard the news."
"That's right. Why don't we have a look at that inauguration again?"
In the gallery, buttons were pressed to roll the footage taken the day before.
"President Mbeki of course promised to combat the AIDS epidemic currently terrorising the north by handing out free condoms."
"Yes what we didn't get on film were the Catholic protestors claiming that Mbeki was the devil."
"Yep. By the way, we have the new Secretary of State in tomorrow, don't we?"
"We sure do, but now we go to Beulah Madyson with the sport..."

There are three main TV netwroks in South Africa at the moment: the Union Broadcast Corporation, which has mainly moderate views; South African Television, which tends to lean to the right, and famously supported apartheid; and Vos, the youngest and most liberal network.
The Liberty Party
The Liberty Party was formed in 1996 after the collapse of the Republican Party. With no Conservative forces to stop the Democrats, Senator Robert Smith gathered former Republicans and Conservative Democrats to form the Liberty Party.
The Liberty Party is a party that is fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. They advocate a reduction of the armed forces, lowering of taxes, improvement of social services, the further legalizing of abortion and evolution, and expanded scientific research. The Liberty Party feels an important aspect is an alliance of Democracy in face of tyranny. While they applaud the Chicago Pact, they criticize the exclusion of the Confederate States, the Mormon State, Alaska, Venezuela, and Quebec. They feel that the current status quo is best, and should be maintained by treaty of alliance.
The Liberty Party, in its convention in Philadelphia, has nominated Robert Smith, the Senator of New Hampshire. Senator Smith is a firm believer in fiscal security and the expansion of social liberties. His record of opposing President Kennedys tax increases speaks for itself, and he has promised to serve the American people.
To balance the ticket with a former Democrat, Smith has chosen Joseph Lieberman, the Senator of Connecticut. Senator Lieberman has a similar record as Smith, advocating tax decreases and the reduction of the military while advocating the advancement of Social Liberties
The Liberty Party is confident, that after 8 years of liberal rule, the American people will see reason, and elect a candidate that listens to the people

Communist Party (Second Turm)
The Communist party's presedent Kuni Bonito runs for reelecion as he took hold of office in 1996 and failed to defend China in its war with FEAR. The canadits claim that their going to lead China into a "golden age while, they go out and inslave more people. But, The Communist party has achived one thing that they promised to the people in the past four years: they elimiated the Japanise threat.

The Repulicans
The Republicans have tried four 40 years to gain power in the war torn China, but have not been abile to because of the Communists declaraion of Martial Law in the mid 1990"s. But, this year the fight for people's freedom, and rights maybe closer than ever for the Republicans because the two best Republican senetors are Presenent, and Vice Presedent. Nobody knows the Republicans goels yet, but they say that they will resume in talkes with the American Federation, and the other countries that make up the former United States.

The Unity Party
The Unity Party was formed in 1998, as an off shoot of the Liberty party. Fed up with the expansion of social programs the Liberty Party advocated, as well as the military reductions, several senators and governors formed the Unity Party in protest. The Unity party is formed at its core by the Christians and the Militarists, with several small business owners and farmers in alliance with them. Also, minorities too have had an easy time connecting with the party.
The Unity Party has one goal, which is the unification of North America through war or alliance. The Unity Party has been sometimes categorized as Fascist though. The Party wishes to see a great expansion of the armed forces to make America a power without equal in the hopes of preserving the nation. The Party has hoped to make abortion and certain types of research illegal. The Party is tough on crime, and is currently the only party advocating the death sentence. The Party wants a moderate tax, so it can help provide loans to small farmers and business owners. The Party has also advocated an expansion of employment, something considered a problem in some states.
For President, the Unity Party nominated Harold Stassen for President, former US Navy admiral and governor of Minnesota at its convention in Richmond.
For Vice President, noted diplomat and refuge from the state of Deseret, Richard Cheney has been nominated for Vice President.
The Unity party hopes the American people agree, and wish to see peace and prosperity return to the divided nation.

The Russian Republic hereby announces it affiliation with the Chicago Pact.
As the mod, I feel obliged to tell you that if this is a free and fair election, bad things will happen in China. This would be common knowledge to your government.
However, if the election is only a front put on by the communists, you're all good.
EDIT: Also, great stories/timelines everybody! Really enjoying the series Nuke is putting together, and I liked Haseri's mention of TV station politics at the end of his story, and also Anonymoose's offhand mention of the execution of various governors.

Probably not the best idea, unless it's just a ploy. Also, the Russian Republic was invited, and the PRC wasn't. Or...
The People's Republic of China in this timeline is an unpredictable communist dictatorship. You do not really like the West, and you do not like many of your own citizens. But see below, as I guess all moves forward...
@D'Artagnan: Please dump at least the bigger picture. It's annoying.
