In the December Revolution of 2009, the small South Pacific nation of Berringsland was shaken to its core after its dictatorial regime, led by the National Party, was overthrown in a massive popular uprising. Its economy in shambles, Berringsland faces a rough transition to democracy with a guerilla campaign from supporters of the old regime, and cultural questions on issues of national identity, religion, and race rising from the past. Now Berringsland is replacing the Provisional Assembly with its first democratic election in over three decades. Who will lead this small island-nation into its new birth of freedom?

What seemed a coronation walk has turned into a struggle for a majority government. Plagued for months by scandal, Martin has dropped the writ for a late spring election, but will Harper, Duceppe, and Layton have the best of it?
After his controversial victory through a backroom deal with House Speaker Henry Clay when no candidate actually got a majority of Electoral Votes in the 1824 election, John Quincy Adams has had a rough presidential term, constantly fighting with a Congress dominated by supporters of his main rival, Andrew Jackson, and little has actually been accomplished. The once monolithic Democratic-Republican Party that dominated US politics as a one-party system since 1816 has been split now into the National Republican Party, built around President Adams and supported by Clay, which has come to resemble the now-defunct Federalist Party in doctrine and policy, and the Democratic Party, built around Jackson, a war hero who won a plurality of the Electoral Votes and popular vote in 1824, and feels the Adams-Clay deal robbed him of his rightful victory. Now the two bitter rivals from the previous election once again go head-to-head for the presidency.
After his first term in office, Franklin D. Roosevelt has begun instituting his New Deal to combat the effects of the Great Depression. He is very popular with the working class, and has faced opposition from wealthy captains of industry and fiscal conservatives. The Republicans plan on mounting a challenge, but their frontrunner is much more a moderate. This scenario also allows the option of an alternate history, where Huey Long survives his assassination and mounts a challenge to Roosevelt, either as a challenger within the Democratic Party, or as a viable Third Party challenge with his Share Our Wealth Party, as it’s candidate or through a proxy candidate.
