**The [https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/alternate-wikipedia-infoboxes-v-do-not-post-current-politics-here.430177/page-386#post-19702003 Long Memorial], erected in Washington DC after Huey's death, is a grander version of the statue and tombstone that exist in real life just outside the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge.
**Namibia, in addition to being [[The Remnant]] of Nazi Germany, could described as a more stable yet no less deranged version of North Korea.
**Celeste van Zyl, the present Prime Minister of South Africa, is mentioned as calling for the creation of black states independent from the country. Intended to help mend race relations, this winds up being an [[Ironic Echo]] of the Bantustans set up under Apartheid in OTL.
* [[Balkanize Me]]: China and India remain divided well after the 1940s, while the former Soviet Union's still partitioned into different Russian successor states (the largest being a Japanese puppet). The demoralization and subsequent end of the British monarchy, meanwhile, contributes to Canada splintering apart by the 1950s.
*[[Church of Happyology]]: Vulcanism, which is essentially a combination of Scientology, ''[[Star Trek]]'' and the Charles Manson cult. This is due to being founded by Gene Roddenberry.
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
*[[In Spite of a Nail]]: Even decades down the line, some events and personalities remain relatively constant. PBS, for instance, is still founded in the 1950s, though at Huey Long's behest.
*[[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)]]: As neither Robert Mugabe nor the ZANU-PF seize power, Zimbabwe is still known as Rhodesia. On the other hand, a combination of greater immigration from Britain and gradual reforms have allowed white-minority rule to transition into a much more stable and prosperous arrangement.
*[[A Lighter Shade of Black]]: South Africa's National Party still endorses
*[[Red Scare]]: Averted. The Soviet Union's collapse to the Axis Powers and the subsequent triumph of the Nazis results in Communism, though still dismissed by Americans, being seen as less of an existential threat than in the OTL Cold War.
*[[The Remnant]]: Namibia is the last holdout of the Third Reich, founded by SS forces under Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich in 1955. Although it has all but thoroughly remoulded what had been South West Africa in their image, the Nazis still claim all of their old territory.
