Well, Perrytopian politics, at least on a global scale, has gotten much more bellicose over the past few years. Hey, all these wars and conflicts have actually been beneficial for the private sector.
Nothing to see here, folks. Please move along...
What's up with all these folks nowadays making nations that don't use NS stats? It's always "Multiversal Soul-Snatchers" this or "Tier Infinity Poly-Galactic Mercs" that. I mean, stats are the whole point, right? You know, the thing that makes this different from your run-of-the-mill role-playing forum? Yeah, they're flawed, but its the ridiculousness that makes this game absolutely FANTASTIC
And copying taking creative liberties with Warhammer 40K or Eldritch nonsense doesn't make you as unique as you think...

Remember to enjoy your stay, and please don't feed the wildlife.

People legitimately believe that the Emperor lead 600 soldiers into Uelvan's rival state and massacred entire legions of communist soldiers, held their leader hostage at gun point, and spared their civilization only because he is such a good dude.

We are not particularly against any ideology other than conservatism and theocracy.

Social conservatism and theocracy are usually frowned upon here as well. However, we believe in our citizen's right to support any ideology that they want (Although almost no one here supports either of the above), and we are also against needless aggression and imperialism.

Eldona has weird politics. The left-wing party has a coalition with the right-wing party and the center party is the opposition.

Conservatism in any form is often (popularly) associated with technophobia (although there are advanced conservative countries out there in the Multiverse) and if you did not get arrested for that the civilians probably did the job, with their issued weapons.

Cultural-Marxism is banned, as is any form of weapon not accepted by the government. It's sort of a contrast to Nephrite Jewelpet about the weapons, though.

There are almost no humans in Aeiouia. Most that immigrate here do so almost solely because of our ability to give them mind uploading treatment, turning them into AIs.

We have voting and political parties. But, for some bizarre reason, everyone seems to keep voting for the same psychotic and deranged leader unanimously. We do not know why. But, it is a good thing that said leader's behaviour inexplicably has almost no effect on our country's policies.

Eurarans are quite different biologically from your average human, main reason being they aren't exactly human! They are insectoid or crustacean like humanoids, a large part of this being that they are essentially mute, due to religious reasons and general neglect to use the old voicebox. Instead Eurarans speak through highly complex pheromone signals!

This makes musical concerts quite the blast, as participants are not necessarily just 'listening' to the lyrics, but rather quite literally bathing in them as a special system of dispensers collect the pheromones distributed by the band on stage and disperse it amongst the crowd..

Singaporeans are quite different biologically from your average human, cos' they've got over fifty implant parts per person and stuff. An individual can also get along with some body parts missing, as they can remote control these parts (if not destroyed).

Alexandria has developed a clearly visible caste system. Vaguely human creatures comprised of nanomachines and synthetics worry about intellectual pursuits, and they often live the most luxurious lifestyles. Humans have taken to being unofficial diplomats. They discover new worlds, colonize them, and deal with any alien species discovered. Our automatons have slowly migrated to managing the massive military, and serve as everything from grunts on the ground to admirals in the navy.

What a coincidence, Eurar also functions with a highly visible caste system, what separates these castes besides their function to society, would be their lineage to the original founders of Eurar. The highest and least populated caste is made up of those direct descendants, while as you go further and further this relation stretches to essentially the complete absence of any relation. There are some other factors that play into this divide but that's something I'll save for another time (unless someone is interested!).

Many citizens of the combine engage in cannibalism(as well as eating humans), also in order to preserve the environment, although this is not enforced by any institution. Except the necrophages, but we just screw them. Then, of course, eat them if we feel like it.

Alexandrians are only just beginning to explore less human forms. Of course, little things like horns were already well used, but never an actual deviation from the two arms and two legs deal.
