As a Venezuelan, how the FUCK did we manage to win the World Cup, we haven't even made it yetAn alternative Reality/Future of the national team landscape in European Football:
Everything is reset... set to 0 and made it all the way to 2100. I made it on the fly... and this is what I call my gift to all of these nations that won...
I might not know enough, but is this a reference to something I don’t know?
Four way. Between an authoritarian European Union, hyper-libertarian US, reformist USSR, and decaying Japanese Empire.
Is there a Japanese term for 'military first' that you think is more likely to be used? I don't have much knowledge of the Japanese language.
I envisioned LDP forming in the early days of 777 as a reaction to the government crackdown, and in-part as recognition by the centre-right that they need unity or the communists and revolutionary socialists will dominate the resistance movement.
Didn't know that about the Logo and will keep it in mind for the future.
That was, admittedly, a bit of indulgence as I thought "777" sounded appealing.
Not that Aleksei though. Though this one’s last name seems to mean something related to shit.
Four-way?
What happened to the reformist Soviet Union and hyper-libertarian United States?
I also don't know Japanese enough to be able to give a proper suggestion.
Going by Wikipedia and Google Translate 軍事政権 (Gunji seiken) means military regime.
The term "Showa Statism" is used to refer to Japan's ideology during WW2.

Fair enough.
Rule of cool is valid enough reasoning, just wanted to point it out.
Okay, here's a similar wikibox created in the Kingdom of Gibraltar.
Here's an infobox that I made of the 2011 Canadian federal election. In this scenario, the Liberals and NDP do better, keeping the Conservatives at the same level of minority that they had before the election. The Bloc Québécois also do worse, thanks to more NDP gains in Quebec. The Liberals and NDP later form a coalition government, voting down Harper's speech from the throne on June 3rd.
Gunji seiken might be a good shout.I also don't know Japanese enough to be able to give a proper suggestion.

In future, I might come up with a new name and party flag, as LDP hews too close to OTL.
Reformist USSR chugs along through the 90s and 2000s but undergoes a Neo-Stalinist coup in 2010 which restores the totalitarian state and has ratcheted up tension with the West.
US remains an economic powerhouse into the 2000s but has been wracked by political and social instability. Racism is at roughly late 1970s level due to only lukewarm civil rights legislation. Desegregation was not fully complete until TTL 2005.
Hubert Horatio Humphrey Jr. (May 27, 1911 – July 7, 1977) was an American pharmacist, politician, and religious leader who founded the Union of Mankind movement. His esoteric, but specific predictions about the future earned him a wide and influential following, while also attracting significant controversy.
Born in Wallace, South Dakota, Humphrey attended the University of Minnesota. In 1943, he became a professor of political science at Macalester College and ran a failed campaign for mayor of Minneapolis. He helped found the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) and the liberal anti-communist group Americans for Democratic Action, and was elected Mayor of Minneapolis. In 1948 He successfully advocated for the inclusion of a proposal to end racial segregation in the 1948 Democratic National Convention's party platform.
Leaving public office, Humphrey began publishing works discussing the future of America, society, and the world. Initially ridiculed, many of predictions proved accurate, such as satellite launches, earthquake warning, and even major geopolitical flashpoints. These predictions, and his public speaking ability, earned Humphrey a nationwide following.
The Human Unionist movement straddled the line between self-help and new religious movement. Humphrey expressed a belief in the cyclical nature of time. Explicitly anti-apocalyptic, Humphrey claimed that humanity was trapped in an endless cycle of life and rebirth. Only a few were able to see the repetition. Fewer still could shatter the cycle momentarily and allow humanity to advance.
Humphrey's preaching, although he considered his activities philosophy rather than religion, attracted considerable appeal amongst youth movements. His strong stance against the war on Indochina, and in favor of civil rights
Humphrey’s teachings, social activism, and drug use, promoted significant backlash. He was arrested several times for protests and vague morality charges. Humphrey was also assailed as a cult leader. Although he eschewed much organization, his social activism and rhetoric did produce a network that survived him.
Humphrey’s later years were chaotic. Initially refusing treatment for bladder cancer, he later agreed out of fear for setting precedent. Many of his later works are homilies to modern medicine. As he neared his deathbed, power struggles emerged between his family, grassroots groups, and Jim Jones, the most prominent Human Unionism on the West Coast.
Humphrey passed in 1977 as “the most important American religious figure since Joseph Smith,” and is remembered as a shatterer by most Human Unionist groups.
The Republicans held two referendums to abolish the monarchy (1980 and 1995). In both of these referendums, a narrow majority voted in favour of France remaining a monarchy. Note that since France has a FPTP system, although the Republicans won a majority of seats in the legislature on several occasions, they never actually won a majority of votes.
Was there still some equivalent to the Napoleonic Wars to lay the foundations for a similar Europe with the World Wars? I'm also confused by the excessive secularism implied by Bertrand restricting the wearing of religious symbols. It's one thing for France to be mostly secular, but I'd assume that this would look more like the UK, where despite a mostly secular society the Church of England is still the de jure state religion, than the explicitly laicist French Republic of OTL.
Here's a follow-up to my deadlocked 1992 United States presidential election scenario that I made a while back. This infobox follows the same premise (Perot not dropping out), but it's more realistic. The results are largely the same, expect Perot wins Alaska, and Maine (the two states he came closest to winning in OTL.) With Perot doing better, the Reform Party becomes a viable third party, and doesn't collapse like in OTL.
