This TL started as a 1am brainworm that simply wouldn't go away where, inspired by chats about the Campaign Trail web browser game, I became obsessed with the idea of taking the Galactic Republic and giving it politics that resembled early 19th Century countries, chiefly America. I then made a series of increasingly deranged graphs, which then necessitated me to map out individual Chancellor elections and so on and so forth. With the help of @jolou, this soon developed into a full blown (though not very long) timeline where Palpatine is defeated at the 11th hour, and the Republic endures.
Liberty Lives (I know, imaginative name) is very much a "what if everything goes well" ending for the Prequel Trilogy, but it is more me just exploring what kinds of politics could be borne out of a scenario where all of the Republic's old political structures have crumbled, and one man decides to open politics out to the galaxy, giving rise to an unprecedented era of partisanship. The posts will alternate between summarising political developments during each Chancellor's term, and detailing the elections to the Chancellery every four years. Its a wacky concept, but lets roll with that. And just to point out, the dating system used is the canon C.R.C calendar, where in '958 C.R.C is equivalent to 19 BBY.
That said, lets begin with the rather brief divergence, before we move into what comes in the first 5 years after Palpatine...MoreLess
