[Australian Federation]

The Australian Federation, along with its Entente allies, had been at mutual aggression and rivalry with the Central Powers and the Syndicalist International since the end of the 1st Great War in 1918. While the last war involving one of the factions was during the 2nd Great War, intense aggression is still present today. However, tensions between the Entente and the Central Powers had cooled off in recent decades as the threat of the Syndicalist International was greatest and had unified the two factions by the creation of NATO. However, past scars and grudges prevented the Entente and Central Powers from fully reconciling. Today, Australia continues its age-old rivalry with syndicalism and hatred towards a syndicalist People's Union of China, while renewed tensions with the German Empire put the Pacific region at risk.

[Free Norfolk City]

While professional sports in Garbania operates on the North American model characterized by its use of franchises and closed membership, Norfolkite sports is characterised by a tiered structure using promotion and relegation to determine participation in a hierarchy of leagues or divisions; so every baseball, basketball, (ice) hockey, et cetera club in Norfolkite sports can rise or fall, depending on their seasons each year. As well, unlike in Garbania, all Norfolkite sports teams have a 50+1 rule, much like the real life Bundesliga. What is seen as a radical idea grandfathered in by the major leagues to Garbanians is the norm here, and all signs point to nothing changing in the years to come.

[Colerado]

The Federal Republic of Colerado (known as the FRC) has an odd spelling of the river of Colorado, and for good reason. When settlers arrived to the new lands during a phase known as Manifest Destiny, settlers had struggled to read and write (although a majority came from Northeast and Midwest states) so they had heard the name “Colorado” and coined their own now-extinct language known as Pioneerese, where English terms were spelt in the way they should be spelt. Colerado was then coined.

There are multiple different arguments, one stating the name came from a different term entirely, and another that the word “Colorado” was just misheard, either way, the FRC does not recognize any as of currently.

They stormed storefronts that displayed the flags. One incident occurred on June 13, shortly after pride month began, when a man named Křašnoya Pħuriþ Särú constructed a bomb that was a plastic 2 liter bottle filled with ammonium nitrate and gunpowder that had buckshot and large metal pipes in it that weighed approximately 20.6-34.2 pounds was detonated after a pride parade went near a red Skoda 110. The bomb immediately exploded and sent plastic, buckshot, and metal fragments everywhere and killed 123 people and injured 200 others. The explosion could be heard a mile away and many windows of buildings were shattered by the blast. After this Bobby increased police presence in parades and commences the anti-terror act. However, after repeated attacks across the country, hate crimes against homosexuals, and assassination threats sent to Bobby, he was forced to repeal theses new freedoms. However there were many peaceful protests about this.
