Your opinion on a interesting fact about the AN (II)

[Kannadrickium]

You're right on this count;

Slavic Jews, eh? Why is there a certain district with such a population, did they get expelled there or something messed up like that.

What, no they founded the town themselves.

CERN still exists in our timeline, except due to German victories over France, it is located in the Dutch city of Eindhoven rather than French-swiss Geneva, and is primarily referred to as Europäische Organisation für Kernforschung (EOK).

From what I’ve looked up, it does still exist IRL, too.
Or maybe that’s a different CERN.

Still, awesome. It’s cool the Dutch have some attention.

Oswyn Islands officially has no WMDs, but it has announced that if it were geopolitically and militarily necessary, then they would be pursued. Nuclear weapons are permanently off the table, however. Rods from God are an alternative.

[Kannadrickium]

That will make them a nice, easy target.

The AKS Summer in Ohio is a Kannadricken nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. It carries 24 ballistic missiles. Each ballistic missile carries 8 nuclear warheads. The AKS Summer in Ohio is equipped with advanced acoustic quieting technology and can stay submerged for months at a time, making it extremely hard to detect by potential adversaries. Thus, the AKS Summer in Ohio serves as a deterrent against any adversary planning a first strike against Kannadrickium.

[The Atlantean Islands]

That's nice. It must be comparable to our Soleanna-class nuclear powered submarines.

Since 2015, Atlantis is investing in Western Europe, the Caribbean, parts of Latin America, parts of Africa and Southeast Asia (the Philippines and Vietnam in particular). The reason is to attempt to contain Chinese influence, as Atlantis, though very close with China, fears that its authoritarian ideology will replace the libertine world order, and wishes for that to never happen.

[A m e n r i a]

I hope you see the error in your ways and join the benevolence of authoritarianism.

In college, Cheonsa has been compared to Napoleon due to his short stature and thrill-seeking attitude.

[Democratic Exodian Territories]

Huh. Technically, that could be attributed to Governor Shang, but he’s slightly less of a thrill-seeker.


Every few months, Governor Shang, accompanied by General Shawn Fowler (his Defense Minister) goes out training for a day with an Exodian military special forces group. While they claim it’s just for checking up on their status personally, some say that they simply want to see themselves in a fighting-fit shape in the same way they did when they were still part of a guerrilla rebellion.

"Napoleon was average for the era, British Propaganda painted him as shorter. Although he was indeed a thrill seeker I think..."

AN: "It is always important to maintain a close relationship with the military."

"Storm Guardian Weapons are semi-sentient. They are crafted with special metals that are amiable to emotional energies passed off by all intelligent living beings, in essence they can feel when a being is relaxed or tense, they are also capable of detecting other weapons created by the Confederacy or at the very least weaponry that mimic's confederacy technology. This is important to understand when we speak of a certain incident within a diplomatic mission that took place between allied confederacy worlds.

The dispute between the aforementioned worlds had been heating up for days, via demands of the Confederacy Council an expeditionary force from the Interior Patrol was deployed to keep matters civil. The diplomatic proceedings between the worlds took place during a public event.

In the midst of the debating, a Storm Guardians Shock Rifle went off, killing 15 people in a more than grizzly way... among the civilians killed was 12 year old child, that had strapped multiple low grade antimatter bombs to herself, enough explosive power to turn several city blocks to less than ash, lucky the rifle had systematically shot through all the mechanisms that would allow the bombs to go off; the timer, the detonator and all fail safe triggering systems, even the pressure pad vest the child was wearing.

The Guardian was shell shocked by the event, and requested and was allowed an honorable discharge, and debates still continue on the morality of the weaponry... but no one could debunk the fact that if the weapon had not acted on its own, hundreds of thousands would have died."

These weapons should be used only as a last resort, IMO.

Garona province is home to the Draemon Temple, a Buddhist temple located within a cave behind a waterfall. The temple is accessible via the nearby Draemon Monastery, a nearby mountain Buddhist monastery. Due to its location, which is relatively isolated and peaceful, it is a popular getaway for Buddhists and a popular tourist spot, even though less than 0.1% of Atlanteans are Buddhists.

Despite its popularity, it is not Atlantis's largest Buddhist temple.

Makes sense, I would imagine that the largest Buddhist temple would be in the capital city.

The Diarcesian word for Indian is Barathus (cf. Bharat). One of the Polities of the Monarchy is composed of them, descendants of Indo-Greeks who fled the Subcontinent after the destruction of their nation there. Upon arriving on their current homeland, they established a new kingdom, the Basileia ton Baratheon.

Edit: The mother of Phlegomy, the current leader, came from there.

[The Great-German Empire]

Fascinating. Such a great migration in such a late stage of civilization? Definitely not something you see on every corner.

The overseas territories Germany still controls in Africa, Asia and the Pacific are all fully-incorporated German states. Everyone there is referred to as Germans (albeit often with a prefix), are full citizens represented in both their state parliaments and the federal one, and receive an education where German is taught extensively alongside their local languages. The German control over these territories has all but eliminated the threat of civil wars or asset seizure by a radical government, allowing businesses to flourish there, held in a benevolent position by pan-German regulations.

[Oswyn Islands]

That’s awesome. Certainly preferable to what happened in our world, with the dreaded unrest and dictatorships in former British colonies.

The Director-General has quite the stereotypical German accent.

[Fox Shogunate]

For some reason, I am not surprised.

Although there still is speciesism, and Japanese anthros are usually suspicious to foreigners, specie supremacist groups are almost nonexistent, as food chain is still in place, and if to much species were destroyed, then food chain might collapse, and country would suffer from hunger. However, there is an other thing- cultural supremacism. It is way more popular, and believes in pushing an one culture over large swaths of land. It is not necessarily speciesist, and in some countries, cultural supremacists have got a lot of seats in government, or are even the ruling party.

[Oswyn Islands]

Hopefully that changes. Supremacism is rarely ever a good thing.

Although it’s a relatively obscure fact, Lützen is a member of the House of Glücksburg, a Dano-German branch of the House of Oldenburg, members of which have reigned at various times in Denmark, Norway, Greece and several northern German states.

His royal ancestry is through his paternal line, but he hasn’t revealed his maternal line. Some believe he is also descended from the House of Wettin.

Because of his royal lineage, hard nationalists believe he should become king rather than a democratically elected leader.

[The Atlantean Islands]

I hope you still maintain some form of democracy.

Atlantis has an NGO in Taiwan. Called the "Atlantean Culture Centre", it is an embassy in all but name and form.

Due to this, Atlantis has relations with both the PRC and Taiwan, albeit the latter is informal and rather clandestine.

[Asmundia]

Heh. I don't personally see the RoC as legitimate, but I digress.


Being a Nazi has an immediate execution sentence in Asmundia. This is due to an old ass law we made back in the 1930s after the fifth nazi coup failed and the current King wanted to do something about it. The Law still exists, but almost nobody is executed about it, because the Nazis have the sense of not going out in the open with their beliefs here, and so it's only kept for foreign nazis such as Richard Spencer, etc. etc.

[Oswyn Islands]

You should fix that. The death penalty is a waste of time and not at all corrective.

Edit: Killing those of another political ideology makes you no better than the worst of ‘em.

---

Instead of execution, we use isolation as a punishment. The criminal is placed in a small room with very few items and objects, fed twice a day and are generally isolated from human contact for varying lengths of time.

If the convicted person has committed murder, the voice of the murdered is played through a hidden speaker in the room at random intervals.

Typically, those in isolation go mad before their time is up.

(Being a Nazi is the only crime in Asmundia with a death sentence though. It was abolished for all other crimes by separate city-states before they became Asmundia. And it's not supposed to correct them. It's supposed to kill them, because they're nazis.) /skip

In spite of it's location in New zealand, they still have heavy Scottish, welsh and British Cultural influences wHich I find interesting

[The South Falls]

The British still got to NZ. Not surprising. British Colonials are like rats. They're nowhere, then they're everywhere.

One of the ships in the South Fallsian navy is a 120-gun British Ship of the Line, the SFN Swinton. It's not used in active service, though paraded everywhere.

[Asmundia]

Fact is also response.


Due to their doctrines, The Guns of Berun do not have armored divisions in their land military. We employ mobile divisions, and we employ them extensively. That ignored, We also do not employ anoything in our navy or our Air Force that could be a big target. Since our Doctrine employs quick hit-and-run tactics, and simultaneous attacks on strategic spots and wetwork we find it to be a moot point having anything that can be a big target for an enemy to hit. or see.

During WWII, the regions of Lombardy of Lake Garda, Lombardy of the Po River Valley, Alpine Lombardy, and Mantuan Lombardy, were annexed by Italy, and the French Side was occupied by the Nazis where the regions of Gard, Upper Savoy, Savoy, Isere, Vaucluse, and Drome were occupied by Vichy France. The Royal Family was exiled to Bonifacio, Southern Corsica and were put under heavy Nazi surveillance.

[The Atlantean Islands]

Sucks being near Nazi Germany, Vichy France and Fascist Italy.

On 26 March 2018, Atlantis, via the Electrum division of the Atlantean Rail Company is building a high-speed rail system in the Philippines, in the islands of Luzon and Mindanao, to be precise. When completed, it will be the first Southeast Asian nation to use Electrum trains, and the second nation to use those bullet trains.

The first nation to use Electrum trains is India, when its high speed rail system was completed earlier this year.

Thanks to more postmodern health advances, Devernia has been able to increase its average lifespan from a normal world average to one of the highest in the world. It also has managed to increase its healthspan. However, bioengineering is a double-edged sword; Devernia has also been able to produce a small variety of bioweapons and a deadly variant of bees that rival the most painful stings in the animal kingdom and number in the thousands in a single colony. Both are kept very safe and sound

For the most part, that sounds good... but seriously, why would you make bullet ant bees? That's just mean.

The provisional government strongly favors Realpolitik when it comes to interacting with nations they are not at holy war with. They are willing to overlook ideological differences in favor of securing short term goals and ensuring progress; however, this does not mean the provisional government is conceding its long term goals. The leaders of the provisional government and cultists under them have no illusions about the necessity of doing away with those allies in the future when their goals conflict. To that extent, the government could be described as ruthlessly pragmatic and Machiavellian.
