Unique titles are all fun and games until people think your nation is lead by an executioner.

Irminigrad, a small nation under Corporate leadership for an indefinite period (permanently), is currently embroiled in conflict, and is under 'Total Corporate Authority;' our form of Martial Law, though different in some key ways. Currently, forces in Irminigrad have identified several major Resistance groups, smuggling supplies-mainly weapons and armaments-into the nation from neighboring cities and nations. Ties have been discovered to several other nations-primarily Marxist ones in nature. To combat the rising tensions in the small region of only seven cities, Communist political demonstrations or shows of support for Communist ideals has become a criminal offense in all corporate holdings and properties. The policies in the region are commonly criticized in neutral zones as being overreactive and unnecessarily repressive.

During the Seventh Bermudinian War (1907-1915), when Vulgaria and Graznavia were still separate countries, Feldenberg conquered the Graznavia and started a war with Vulgaria (Feldenberg occupied 25% of this country in 1911-1912). In Graznavia occupied by Feldenberg there was created a chauvinist terrorist group called the Graznavian Rebel Clan collaborating with Feldenberg. Fortunately, that group wasn't supported by a lot of people. GRC wanted to create a more terrains of the "free" Graznavia. During the war with Vulgaria, they killed over 10000 Vulgarians in very brutal ways and the other were forced to escape from their familiar cities. GRC's victims were also Graznavians who helped or gave shelter to Vulgarians or living with them in mixed families. In Vulgarian occupied lands and on the former Vulgaro-Graznavian border there was created an insurgent group called "The Fist of the Freedom" which fought GRC but also commitet the revengal mass murder acts on Graznavian civilians. They killed over 12500 Graznavians. Both groups were disbanded after the Seventh Bermudinian War. The King of Graznavia in 1943, Jerosław VII apologized for war crimes commited by GRC and later the relations of Vulgaria and Graznavia were improved. When the Vulgaro-Graznavian Commonwealth started to exist, the first decree which was issued in 1986, punishing the stirring up the Vulgarians against Graznavians or Graznavians against Vulgarians with public flogging, cutting off the tounge or death penalty (depends how much that will outrage the people).

I understand your nation's policy of unity. The punishment may be too harsh, but understandable, considering the dickery your GRC did.

In our universe, the reason God sent Cain to Nod is not only to punish him, but also to force humans on a different evolutionary path. If Cain's descendants, along with that of Prophet Syits (with Nazala) and Yafits (with Mauzela) are allowed to exist and interbreed in the same planet, the result would be a powerful race of "over-humans". So powerful, in fact, that humanity would be extinct by the Renaissance due to wars.

The over-humans would have the common powers of both vampires and hurites, including:

• Regeneration and power duplication through blood
• Heat vision
• Flight
• Affinity towards all colours of Qi
• Any additional powers an individual could learn

Aside from powers, they would also have enhanced physical capabilities including super strength, super speed, and super stamina.

Ergopedians have unusual anatomy when compared to human anatomy. Aside from having an extra digit on each foot and hand, the most distinctive anatomical differences among Ergopedian anatomy are two slightly smaller hearts (compared to a singular heart for humans), which go in place of where the human kidneys would go. Thus, Ergopedian kidney would be in place of a human liver, while an Ergopedian liver would be in place of a human heart. Other than internal organs, Ergopedians have a sense of hearing that's two to three times more powerful than humans thanks to their elf ears. Having evolve similar to humans, Ergopedians share the same cardiovascular and central nerve system, although the average humans are physically taller and stronger.

Compared to most expeditions led by North Germany -or really, any great power, the North German-Malayan war was relatively brief. Forty-two hours after the Siege of Singapur began, Britain announced that the Commonwealth of Nations did not "Back Malaya in its folly", and two hours later, the 3,000-men strong 12th North German Sky Battalion deployed from Pondichery had captured Kuala Lumpur, Penang Island, and Kajang. Scared of what 3,000 (unbelievably well-trained) men could do in less than four days, Malaya lifted its own siege of Singapur in fear of what North Germany could do if it deployed its land forces in any large number, and a Peace was achieved -Malaya only paid minor sums in reparation and agreed to revoke its claim on Singapur in perpetuity, and North Germany did not do any further in fear of angering Britain into animosity.

Though the Servants reject the use of technology, they have no qualms with using others’ weapons against them. This can and often does extend to taking over enemy vessels and using them in lieu of Servant fleet assets. This can also include disruptions to enemy power grids and communication systems. Archivists are often trained in programming languages and information security, and are eminently capable hackers.

This is largely due to a Servant proclivity towards beating the enemy at their own game. To the Servants, the enemy is only truly defeated if they are shown how their own weapons and technology can betray them.

“Your weapons betray you, but my powers will never fail me.”

[Estado Novo Portugues]

Another reason why Civil Director Salazar has a deep distrust of globalization and technology like the Internet. FYI, computers are illegal for private citizens to own, and the ones owned by the government run a custom-built OS written in a custom language known to only a handful of elite programmers. That, along with the lack of an outside Internet connection, makes successful hacking extremely difficult.

In Portuguese internment camps, prisoners charged with "extraordinary crimes" (basically any crime that's religious or political in nature) are forced to wear a classification mark on their prison garments. This is a colored triangle symbol, where the color indicates the type of crime. Convicted individuals will have the classification mark permanently tattooed on their foreheads and forearms.

Here is the list of color codes used:


Yellow—heretics and witches


Red—communists, socialists, unionists and anarchists


Pink—homosexuals, prostitutes, adulterers and pedophiles


Black with skull and crossbones—drug addicts and HIV/AIDS carriers

[A m e n r i a]

Punishing people for being sick or wanting to end poverty seems too much. The witches and homosexuals deserve whatever you had for them though.

Heavenly Emperor Tianshi's wings are the strongest parts of his body. Attacks that could damage his already-tough skin wouldn't go through his feathers most of the time. He uses this as an advantage, often shielding himself and others with them. When someone could damage his wings, however, beware. If he couldn't protect you - who could?

I'll be honest, I'm not exactly comfortable with supernatural elements when they appear in a semi-realistic world (i.e. a world where earth in and of itself exists) so this is just more of an annoyance to me than interesting.

While Danes had lived on (and at some points controlled) Scania, it did not become a de jure part of the Danish Realm until the reign of Alfbad (III and I). It was decisively and irrevocably conquered by Ijsbrecht III in the Scanian War in the 1020s, and made "the March of Scania" a few years later and granted to Æthelwulf, Prince of England, leader of a mercenary band and a close friend of Ijsbrecht III that had helped him defeat his enemies in multiple wars (including Wilhelm's War, a rebellion that finally solidified Ijsbrecht's dominance and established hereditary succession in Frisia). During Ijsbrecht's reign, Scania was administered as part of the Frisian Realm, but Alfbad, his successor, transferred its control to the Danish throne which he also held.

[Borgevia]

Could be worse, it could be Swedes lmao. Still, I'm assuming there's a strong Danish influence in local customs after all this?

Even though the 'Liberal Revolution' in the 1950s was nonviolent, when Pro-Democracy citizens and Corpus members pushed for reform, the resulting government still had a bit of blood on their hands. The First President, Alfonso Paoli, was a Corpus Board member who supported the Democratic reforms and had used the SIF, which is essentially the Borgovian Unit 8200/CIA hybrid, to assassinate, kidnap, and intimidate targets who hold anti-democratic views. It was a Singaporean style Presidential Dictatorship for 15 years as Alfonso Paoli slowly implements reforms, most are social/economic like the right to assembly or dismantling the racial hierarchy. He didn't reduce his power overtime because he knew having a Parliament will slow down the progress of liberalisation without the corruption inherent in India or Mexico.

After 15 years, and after 2 dozen high ranking Corpus members disappeared, Alfonso's reforms have created a structure that reduces corruption, ensure transparency in government, safeguard government stability & consistency, and a Parliamentary system that accepts no outside influence (no private fundings). He stepped down and the first "real" election took place when all reforms are implemented. In 2002, the Human Rights Courts trialed him for the murder of 47 people during his reform, but was only convicted of ordering the assassination or kidnapping of the families of political rivals to be held as political hostage, forcing his enemies to support his reforms.

Looks like well intentioned extremist dude shot himself in a leg, when stepped down. Should have run instead... That happens more frequyently, than one may think. And undemocratic strive for democracy... the oximoron, that actually exists.

In terms of football (soccer kind), Skyhookedian teams are laughing stock on all championships. There is even a joke, that if someone can easily hit a small target from 100 meters with a rifle or perhaps a bow, but almost always misses the football gate with a ball, then he is definitely from Skyhooked.

The Three Tests are specifically intended as a form of societal milestone, such as graduating high school or getting a driver’s license. In the case of the Servants, passing the test of control is a rite of passage into adulthood, and is essentially equivalent to reaching the age of consent.

This has a secondary effect in that infiltration of the servant population is essentially impossible on a practical level, as the majority of the servant population dwells above the danger zone of planetary atmospheres. As any electronic devices and secondary signals would be immediately ferreted out, this would mean that any infiltrators would be forced to remain in the outlier villages that focus on raising children. While such agents would have less difficulty fitting in, they would also fall under the watchful glare of the Sentinels... and subject to their mercy if they are found out.

Rest assured that one’s mind can be broken without torture.

The American and European Far-Right see the (State-Capitalist but not too oligarchical) Union of Soviet Sovereign States as an enemy; as a result, Eastern Slavs, and especially Russians, aren't seen as traditional pious White people nor is there a charismatic authoritarian strongman like Putin around to woo them. A lot of the Far-Right still buys into classic Nazi propaganda way more and they highlight the USSR's purported "Jew-Bolshevik" origins, its "mongrelized" ethnic status and the Soviet alliance with the the equally "mongrelized" TSR and (rump state) PRC as proof that the 2nd World is made up of evil "Asiatic Hordes".

That's weird, considering Europeans and Americans are the evil ones irl, but okay, sure.

Civilization classes are available in our American colony. It's exactly what it says on the tin - classes that serve to civilize Americans. They teach Eastern (mostly Chinese, but some Korean, depending on the place) culture and etiquette, as well as the language. Native Americans don't need to take these classes, as they're already civilized enough (they can if they want to though). Thanks to the civilization of America, new expressions and slangs have been adopted by the youth in English from Chinese, such as "520" and "lightbulb", among others.

[The Unfounded]

Heh, cultural superiority complexes abound.

In an extension of the previous fact, the Test of Control is functionally impossible to fake their way through, due not only to its high level of challenge but to the variety of forms that it can take. It is due to the highly dangerous nature of the test that it is often overseen by multiple observers, in order to ensure the survival of the tested adherent in the event of a failure.

For a trueborn adherent, it most often takes the form of a random poisoning. The adherent is exposed to a highly virulent toxin or pathogen and must identify the nature of the attack and use their bodily control to counteract the effects and eliminate the threat.

For a convert, it can take several forms that often introduce a secondary element in the form of some crippling distraction, such as battlefield conditions or other threats. A popular form of the test is to have the trainer stab the adherent through the heart with no warning. As a convert’s training for the test often results in a close relationship with the trainer, the crippling distraction in this case would be feelings of betrayal. If the adherent regenerates from this lethal damage, they are advised of their accomplishment. The exact nature of the test varies, but often takes advantage of the deep connection caused by the training.

The test tends to end any relationship, too.

[Uinted Communist of Africa]

I thought a test was suppose to be just that....a Test!! nothing lethal.









Africa has over 10,000 small islands surrounding the main island/ continent which has led to many Africans calling UCA "the Archipelago of The Uinted Communist of Africa" but so far it hasn't made its way to any official documents

[Vulgaro-Graznavian Commonwealth]

I think that test is very... very... hard. And only 0,000000000001% of people could beat it.

In history, sometimes it happened to that countries of Bermudinia were fighting for their leaders' private matters. A very good example is war in Bultan (the country of african tribe) (1991-1996) (Bultan & Halla vs Feldenberg, Bacteria, Draka, Kunami, Vulgaro-Graznavian Commonwealth and Norland). In this country there was growing Lawsonia inermis (a plant from which is made henna for tattoos) and it was imported to many countries in Bermudinia, including Vulgaro-Graznavian Commonwealth. The plant was usually ordered by kings to make the tattoos for their wives (including King Lech XXI who was often tattooing his wife, Queen Krzesisława (but not so much)). Unfortunetaly, in 1989 Bultan stopped the Lawsonia inermis trading due to threat of extinction of this plant. The importers weren't care about that what caused the economical isolation of Bultan in 1990 and war in 1991. But Bultanians supported by Halla (the arabic nation) defended effectively. Unfortunately, the aggressors destroyed all of the plantations what caused the extinction of Lawsonia inermis. For this reason Bultanian war is also called the Tattoo War. Regarding Queen Krzesisława (King Lech's wife), she never washes her left hand, because she has a tattoo in there (a rose on her wrist).

[North German Realm]

Talk about dramatic irony. Starting a war over a nearly-extinct plant, successfully destroying its plantations and driving it into extinction. I do wonder why any functioning government would start a war over something this stupid though. Do your countries not have any civil service?

LOL they chickened their way out.

While the Armed Forces of Palmyrion in its modern form has existed for only 35 years, its lineage traces all the way back to 1200s during the formation of the Thalassocratic Confederation, when the Confederate Standing Levy was formed from the militaries of the Confederation's subordinate nations.

[A m e n r i a]

Understandable. Aren't most militaries like that? It wouldn't be a stretch if a time traveller told King Arthur his knights turned out to be the British military in the modern era.

Tianshi's time as the teenage superhero Maung inspired today's youth into becoming similar heroes, to the point that every continent, except South America, Australia, and obviously Antarctica, has its own version of Maung. Like him, they are all pyromancers. However, each of them has original techniques adjusted to their preferred fighting styles.

America has Weretigre (real name Juan-Paulo Fernandez), who uses his strength in conjunction with his pyromancy to create fire-enhanced lucha libre moves.

Europe has Tigerheart (real name Eric Miller), who engulfs his sword and shield in flames, but otherwise fights like a knights of the past.

Africa has Lioness. She uses stealth and agility before finishing her opponents off with the superheated blades on her gloves.

Asia has Maung II (real name Malika Andjani). She uses fire-powered kickboxing moves like the original Maung, but is faster and more accurate than him, though she's not as tough or strong.

[The Sapmi]

The idea of a superhero league forming as a result of Amenria sounds interesting.

The largest immigrant community in The Commonwealth of the Sapmi is actually the Dutch community, with them making up a population of 364,538 (~1/10 of the country) and being the largest community in Nieuw Holland (Dutch for New Holland), a province that currently makes up a majority of the land of the modern-day Swedish province of Norrland.

The vast majority of the Servant adult population reside in vast Arcologies that also function as the anchor for the surrounding communities focused on child-rearing. These arcologies stand many kilometers in height, and are primarily geared towards continuing education and various forms of training. These vast edifices typically sport gothic architecture on the exterior, but look very modern and quite alien on the interior. Vast gardens, easily kilometers in diameter, are wholly contained within the colossal megastructures.

These structures are composed almost entirely of soulstone, and are constructed both out of practical need and a desire to show off the fact that even their construction seems to defy the laws of nature. One would typically expect such a massive structure to be impossible when constructed solely out of stone, yet these enormous buildings are often seen towering sufficiently high that those who dwell in the upper reaches have learned to reflexively ignore their need for oxygen. No conventional human would be able to survive at such a height without some form of air supply.

Intriguing, and I'm sure the scenery would be amasing for humans brave enough to witness given how megastructures itself is always a marvel to behold.

The Borgovian Education model, which is rigorous and teaches students to be interdisciplinary (being able to combine Mathematics, Economics, International Relations, History, and Anthropology into one topic for a research paper) while also analytical isn't because the government wants smart kids for the sake of flexing on others like many East Asian countries and Nordic nations tend to do. It's implemented in the early 1900s as a way to rapidly transform its economy and have a reliable population to draw from in the case of conflict. Borgovia would rather have a country of doctors and businessmen than being a manufacturing hub, and education is the best way to phase out farming/manufacturing as a key source of economic activity.

Economically, Borgovian economists predict that it's more efficient to displace farmers and factory workers with newer methods of productions (and in the 21st century, automation), but in order to keep the population from revolting, they begin retraining them for more skilled labour such as manufacturing electronics or, at a later date, to be engineers, doctors, or supply chain analysts. Many are shoved into apprenticeship programs after being displaced to learn plumbing, carpentry, etc. Higher wages also means more taxes to fund Borgovia's military interests. The next generation (Silent Gen/Boomers) are then forced to become interdisciplinary and analytical in mindset so they can become effective, versatile white/blue collars (good for economy), add fuel to the fire of curiosity (good for innovation), and in the case of military needs, a soldier who can think outside the box and connect patterns between two objects that's hardly related (Physics and Literature for example) can not only make a powerful operative, but will also be a commander of sound judgement. It's also pre-training an entire population to potentially be recruited by the locally respected but internationally feared SIF, a Borgovian Secret Service well known for disruption, espionage, assassinations, kidnappings, psychological warfare, and intelligence gathering.

Because of Borgovian Boomers being forced to study hard, analyze various topics, and mesh them into multiple research papers before turning 18, Borgovian Boomers aren't total shitheads like US or UK Boomers since they have a better grasp of social sciences and hard science than their anglo counterparts
