gopprogressive 1,063 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hey all, I'm going to do a historical version of Alexandria set in 1900, 2 years after Alexandria's Democratic Constitutional Convention (and a grand coalition Conservative-Liberal government being set up): PARTIES: Conservative (center-right) Liberal (center-left/centrist) Radical (left-wing revolutionaries) Carlist (right-wing reactionaries) issues Armed Forces Britannia Relations Church and State Constitution Economic Policy Empire Federalism Gold Standard Infrastructure Land Reform Monarchy Natural Resources New Alexandria Poverty Race Relations Taxation Trade Workers' Rights Provinces: Rio Grande Baudrix Nueva Granada (to be renamed Bolivar) Leifgrad-Baden Corvocado Galatia Geneva Ibelin San Martin Santander New Alexandria San Juan Bautista(to be renamed Teychili) Valenciennes Bourbon (to be renamed Napoleon) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matvail2002 803 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Looks good! I must say that I never seen or made an older fictionnal scenario from more than 40-50 years ago. A good thing, will be to maybe have some of the ideas of the French political system at that time with a strong Monarchist Party. Also, Socialists were present at that time in France and the Radical Party were more populist at that time than center-left. These are the party colors: Conservative=Blue Liberal=Red Radical=Orange Carlist=Gold 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patine 385 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Neat idea to have a historical micronation. I'd considered South Guanjin 1977 myself, set in the turbulent years right after the war with Tan Co's grandfather as the incumbent going for a fourth term, the SWNUPG banned but running as a coalition of independents, and a somewhat different mix of other parties (no Radical or Essentialist Parties, for instance). As for this one, it looks very promising. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At this point the Liberals are basically a merger of classical & social liberals as well as socialists (similar to the Lib-Lab pact in the UK or the Liberals in much of Latin America). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog Democrat 9 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Will you make a scenario for each election? That would be a pretty neat project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Treasurer 28 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Maybe, if I have time. It would be awesome if someone did decades worth of elections for one fictional nation, would be fascinating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gopprogressive 1,063 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 If any of you guys want to come up with characters, post them here. use politician or people from 1890-1930. no females, since women were not enfranchised until 1931 in Alexandria. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can I use Mussolini's portrait for a Carlist? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gopprogressive 1,063 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Heh. That's quite fine. I currently have Kaiser Wilhelm II as the leader of the Carlists. The Carlists are also strong in German-speaking areas but weak in Indian and French ones. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matvail2002 803 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 So the Carlists are based on the Fatherland party in Cyberland? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gopprogressive 1,063 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Technically, I based them off of the Spanish Carlists who plagued the country during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Basically they were supporters of a reactionary duke who opposed the liberal monarchists and claimed he was the rightful King. In this case, the split in Alexandria occurred between the German Carl Hohenzollern (Charles X) and the Spanish Queen Teresa Portela (Teresa I) during the 1870s, with the Portela dynasty emerging victorious from the bloody civil war. However, the Carlists still remain strong in German areas due to their affinity for the Hohenzollern family and distrust of the French and Spanish-speakers who supported the Portelas. They are a cross-class party, but they are led by aristocrats. The Radicals are descendants of the Jacobin rebels of the 18th century, and obtain support from idealistic students, agrarian and working-class rebels, Indians, and the non-white bourgeois. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
