Jonathan has added Obama and Harper as the last known US President and Canadian PM. This was the case when the story was published but since last October Justin Trudeau has been PM. The invasion during Moffatt I's presidency was late this century so we can continue to update the last known to Trudeau and then whoever wins in November and so on. Or we can leave it at those at the time of publication. Personally, I'm fine with leaving it but want to bring it to your attention in case anyone disagrees. ML4E (talk) 15:58, May 28, 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know that we need a "previous" at all, honestly. People will get that the story is set in the 22nd century, so constantly updating is just more work than needed. TR (talk) 16:19, May 28, 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think Previous can go. Turtle Fan (talk) 16:48, May 28, 2016 (UTC)
- For "future" stories, I treat the pub date as the POD. See Mesa State College in this story, and any pre-1991 story which presumes that the Soviet Union still exists after 2000.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 06:51, May 29, 2016 (UTC)
- I still think it can go. Maybe just say "Unknown." Turtle Fan (talk) 18:29, May 29, 2016 (UTC)
- The two said "Unknown" until Jonathan added the two incumbents at the time of publication. There is no POD. The story is straight Science Fiction. Things are as in OTL until the Krolp arrive in the late 2000s. Hence my question on updating. I think "Unknown" is better since we "know" Trudeau was the last PM prior to the invasion.

- Yeah, I think "Unknown" is best. Turtle Fan (talk) 00:14, May 30, 2016 (UTC)
