The Spice Must Flow!

Seriously, spice from Dune is OP as all. Not only does it grant life extension, give you a mild high, allow you to see into the future and give you cool eye colour, but let's not forget that it is the fuel that allows faster than light travel. With this one fictional drug, we would basically be able to ascend to a civilisation on the cardishev scale virtually overnight. Easily spice.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

Modafinil from Limitless is my favorite fictional drug. It unlocks the ultimate potential of the entire brain, allowing 100% brain usage at once compared to the standard 20%. It unlocks every memory you've had in your entire life and allows you to always know what to do in every situation. The only drawback is that the user becomes extremely dependent, leading to death if the next dose is not taken. This is only temporary though because the user is now smart enough (also most likely rich enough) to research the chemicals in the drug and mass produce more or edit the strain of the drug to tweak out the dependency.

The Limitless drug was also my choice - it is called NZT-48 in the film and MDT-48 in the book. Modafinil is a real drug.

We're not going to control the pandemic!

It is a slaughter and not just a political dispute.

"The scraps of narcissism, the rotten remnants of conspiracy theories, the offal of sour grievance, the half-eaten bits of resentment flow by. They do not cohere. But they move in the same, insistent current of self, self, self."

I think it's probably inspired by prior Scifi drugs like Dune's spice, but luciferium from Rimworld is my favorite drug in that it is a very not subtle 'deal with the devil' allegory.

Factbook completion will occur when hell freezes over and this nation is basically what happens at 3 AM when I overdose on Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Game of Thrones. Trans rights or you're getting kneecapped.
Center-right largely-absolute monarchy populated by the majority-pagan descendants of a mix of Vikings, Iron Age German rednecks and the odd shipwreck survivor coming into its own on the world stage during the final stages of a 32-year watershed moment under the watchful eye of an emperor who was never supposed to be one. Strict MT, current year though lore posts are generally asynchronous. Brettain is a catchall demonym, flag waifu by Polish Prussian Commonwealth, NS stats not canon.
