→Real Life
Line 230:
*** The [[Canada|Canadian]] one is worse, They're supposed to be one of the main four parties, and average one seat out of hundreds. While they've steadily been gaining numbers in both federal and provincial elections in the 21st century, they're still nowhere near "official party" status (enough members of the House to qualify for recognition as a group) anywhere in Canada.
** There is a bitter joke among American Democratic Party members to the effect that 'Green' stands for '''G'''et '''R'''epublicans '''E'''lected '''E'''very '''N'''ovemeber.
* Ditto with elections in the [[Philippines]] and elsewhere: in the [[wikipedia:2022 Philippine presidential election|2022 presidential election]], there have been ''ten'' contenders for the presidential seat; only six of them have seen significant media coverage and/or have more than enough machinery to stage a national campaign. The rest of them, while notable in their own right, are those who neither resonate as well with the public nor have the name recognition to carry them through the campaign.
* [[Wales]] is this to the rest of Great Britain, and most of the Midwest states that make up [[Flyover Country]] are considered this to the rest of the US.
** The ultimate example of American geography would probably be Delaware. Aside from housing Dover Air Force Base and [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|a politician who]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|insists that she is not a witch]], Delaware has contributed approximately nothing.
