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

[Akaran Islands]

There's a persistent rumour that at midnight when you go to the Crysukon government's website, there's a chance a 30 second video will play. Only when it ends, the audio doesn't, turning into a distorted singing. This surfaced after over 100 people fell comatose, only one of which awoke with his sanity severely shaken.

That sounds like Bloody Mary but for the internet. Wonder how the comatose thing started.

Akara is divided into two states. The main one is an absolute Monarchy, but there's also a smaller Parliamentary Monarchy that consists of a few small islands. They both hate each other and claim the others territory.

"You disgraceful cowards! Fight like men!"
- Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa

AAN: Now that's creepypasta material

AN: sounds bad to be in a constant civil war-like situations with fellow citizens

Every three months, Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa would go to his harem to watch a show by his concubines. His concubines would
dance and sing, much like the contestants of Producce 101 did

[The Islands of Versilia]

Harams and concubines... disgraceful, barbaric things. It’s a shame Islam, in its Iron Age morality and beliefs, has continued a filthy practice.

Along with blood, vampires enjoy consuming fruits, honey, insects and birds. It’s not uncommon to see fledglings or young vampires giving into their instincts and trying to catch birds or insects. They’re taught at school how to ignore or push away these instincts, but the preference remains.

In extension of this fact, it’s theorised that the first vampires evolved fangs to better eat fruits and vegetables and catching small animals. They evolved the blood-drinking after.

[Zitravgrad]

I don't know why but it's both comforting to know that you guys can eat something else and cute that sometimes the vampires are wound up to hunt small stuff.


"Midwinter tea" is a tradition of an ethnic minority in Zitravgrad, the Kartevelean. This tea is consumed largely in winter (obviously) and it consists of black tea leaves, lavender, rose and chamomile, sweetened with honey. The serving is also quite ceremonious. The host must pour the tea and the honey for all his guests and be the first to drink from his cup to show that the tea is not poisoned. Still, people are quite liberal about what to eat while drinking this tea.

[Zharijistan]

Our people love drinking tea socially too, specifically green tea with honey.

After WWII Jewish people were given special immigration status and their own city, Rudnyy, where around 571,324 of them live today.

[Fallen Britannia]

What happened in this WWII that involved the Jews? What does this WWII even stand for? (Note WWI is about two decades in the future for this nation.)

London is also known as the Fifth City to the Masters of the Bazaar and those in their employ. This is because London is the fifth city to host the Bazaar, after such great cities as Carthage and Constantinople. Each had their own Fall and landed right on top of each other. London now sits on top of those ancient cities, and priceless relics of them can be found if you know the right place to look. Londoners also try not to think about what will happen if another city becomes host to the Bazaar if this pattern continues.

[Stanier]

Zitravgrad's fact:
The tea itself sounds like a great beverage to end the day with, the way it's served sounds really archaic and unnecessary for me.

AN's fact:
I can understand why they are worried...

---

In Stanier, drunk driving isn't a penalized crime if you are a natural citizen of the country, this is due to the fact that the average Stanierian is able to drive mostly fine when intoxicated, despite this, they're not able to walk straight.

[Persagonia]

Really? Do they possess some god-like feature or something?

---

Persagonia is one of Israel's major, and secret supporter in the Middle East. They share something in common, that is being harassed and condemned by their Arab neighbors as religious heathens. The two would secretly cooperate in the military, intelligence, and economic sector without any of their Arab neighbors knowing about it. The Israeli Mossad and Persagonian SAVAMA also worked together in combating terrorism in the Middle East and gathering intelligence from their neighbors. Despite this, Persagonia is a major supporter of the two-state resolution and has recently acted itself as a mediator.

[The Liamese Empire]

I don't know why but it's both comforting to know that you guys can eat something else and cute that sometimes the vampires are wound up to hunt small stuff.

What a nifty native tradition.

Ninja'd I'm glad to see another nation that loves Israel like us.

The Liamese Empire has never had a recorded death from alcohol poisoning. It is believed that because of the average Liamese massive drinking culture, we have gained the special ability to take twice as much of the substance than the average human but this never happens because people black out before this point is ever reached.

[A m e n r i a]

I didn't know humans could evolve to be able to drive drunk.

AAN: "Filthy traitors like you will burn. Not to mention the fact that you're a heretic on top of that."
- Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa

AN: wow, another alcohol-resistant civilization

Amenria doesn't have fake news. All the news on TV and all reality shows are 100% true, partly because the government controls the media, partly because a person lying on tv can be charged with misleading the masses, leading to a long prison sentence or an execution. A politician lying may be charged with treason also.

[Zharijistan]

Zharijistan has strong laws against lying to the people too, just not as extreme.


Horses nearly outnumber people and most Zharijianese are in the saddle by age 5.

[Hazukenia]

Okay, is killing a horse legal there?

Hakuzens' Square (Abbott Gardens before the Hazukenian Coup) is in the centre of Hazukenopolis. Due its role as a massacre site during the coup, it is seen as a politically sensitive location. Hence, several things such as busking, protesting and throwing buckets of any kind are banned there.

TL;DR: Hazuken's Swuare is basically Tiananmen Square 2.0

[Zharijistan]

Okay, is killing a horse legal there?

Only for food, and our capital's square was also the site of a massacre by Islamic Republic soldiers in the early 1900s so we understand those laws.

Zharijistan's military sent Special Forces operatives from the Counter Terrorism Battalion and the Recon Sniper Brigade to Rwanda to make "safe zones" for Tutsi people during the genocide.

[Katsur]

Okay? I don't know those nations sadly.

Lucy doesn't get regular evening dinner breaks. Instead they fill out the whole chamber meant for big events like banquets, parties etc. With paid actors and censors masquerading as staff and noble guests. One of these actors is cast to be a jackass most likely towards Lucy.

When Lucy is eating dinner she is to treat it like an extremely important royal event, one day they could be practicing her birthday for the next day have every actor cast as diplomats from foreign nations. After dinner she is graded and the results are sent to the royal council for evaluation.

In order to pass Lucy is to be on the best behavior for a queen and point out the jackass in front of an examinator who may or may not be the same person. Easy right? No the jackass will often make subtle insults like not approaching her first, talk to her in a wrong dialect or hide in a crowd of actors who are cast not to like her but use socially acceptable insults.

[Persagonia]

Eh, typical for a little girl nation.

The countries in our timeline and world had gone differently than in real life. Such as:
- Turkey is run by a secularist Kemalist instead of Caliph. Erdogan in real-life
- Romania and Moldova reunited around the 90s
- South America in our timeline is more conservative and thus, there's no Maduro of Venezuela or Moralez of Bolivia
- Yugoslavia survives and becomes a democratic, federal nation and member of the EU
- The Greek monarchy survives in our timeline and there's no Greek economic crisis
- Jamahiriya Libya survives and is run by Gaddafi's son, and so there's no 2011 Civil War
- Ethiopia is still called "Abyssinia" and they're doing well like South Korea compared in real-life
- There's no ZANU Zimbabwe but instead, a Rhodesia-Zimbabwe like in 1979
- And North Korea still stays exactly the same

I could go on but I'm just outlining the "important" ones

[A m e n r i a]

Wow, what do you call your universe? Reign of heretics and lunatics with awesome Greece and Ethiopia?

I guess I should share about the universe Amenria is in, so...

- Central America and the northern parts of South America are under the Communist Caribbean States, with a chaotic good presidente.
- The rest of South America is under the Kingdom of Tonaluia, a long-lost civilization with alien tech and undiscovered species of dinosaurs.
- Turkey, now the Neo-Ottoman Empire, rules Eastern Europe and are pioneers in time manipulation technology, which they also use in warfare.
- The Middle East and North Africa are parts of the Sultanate of Arabia, another high-tech civilization. Their tech is mostly solar-based.
- Northern Europe has united and became the United Scandinavian Territories, a neutral nation which doesn't really care about good and evil. They're the only secular nation in the world.
- Central and southern Africa are ruled by the Kingdoms of Africa, a rather libertarian Christian nation with the highest theriantrope population in the world.
- Japan, with the exception of Kyushu, became N i h o n, the leading nation in robotics.
- Australia and New Zealand became the Tribes of Sahul, an oligarchy run by aboriginal tribal leaders.

[Weimarer Reich]

Sounds deeply unpleasant for Eastern Europeans.

In our timeline, the holocaust was constantly "postponed" along with other planned genocides as a post-war "victory celebration" in Hitler's eyes. So while this had the effect of the Nazis being less vilified (being seen more as "merely" racists rather than genocidal racists) this also meant there was far less mass death; though Germany's Jewish population is relatively low due to the Allied occupation government encouraging Jewish Germans to go to the recently formed Israel. Some argue the Republic's support of Israel in early 50's was a way to "get them out of their hair" as antisemitism remained up to a certain level.

[Toraia]

Still heinous. Still inexcusable.

P.M. Yascho has only gotten drunk once in his life, and just his luck, it had to be at a political function. He really liked how one of the wines at some diplomatic dinner event tasted and drank too much of it by mistake. While tipsy, he couldn’t keep his languages straight and spoke in a garble of Toraian and English. No-one could understand him (which was probably for the better, in retrospect), so the host walked him to the wc and made him stay put there until the alcohol washed out of his system. Yascho hasn’t been willing to have anything more than a sip or two of booze after that embarrassment.

[Zitravgrad]

Ahh... Somewhat relatable. I won't share my story, though.


If we are going to play alternate universe game, ours will need a little more explanation because I have butchered the names and the history so badly. This universe will seem rather focused on the equivalent of Europe. I will put it in real life equivalents:

- Equivalents of USSR (Zitravgrad) and Russian Empire (Kozavian Empire) are existing at the same time after the revolution.

- Those of British Empire (Anglicia) lost only half of its colonies and America (Atlanzia) is still a colony that is loosely governed.

- Nordic nations stick together in a commonwealth. (Commonwealth of Mälsigen) While equivalents of Austria and Prussia joined in a union, now called Austerreichen Empire.

- Napoleonic France (Fracia) never dissolved. At. All. Spanish colonial empire also retained some influence, as well as Ottoman Empire. That said, there can be revolutionaries from time to time.

- Equivalents of Japan and China remain almost the same, while one of Korea is united and doing almost okay. African nations are mostly united into large nations to gain some standing against the imperialists. In short, many powerful empires tend to last until today and monarchy is more common.

[A m e n r i a]

Monarchies are best, greetings from another monarchy-dominated Earth.

Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa has been to a genderbent universe. In that universe, his counterpart is a queen of a nation more secular and libertarian than the real Amenria, since she never got chosen as Earth's Saviour by God and doesn't have divine powers (only metahuman ones). One example of its liberty is the law allowing women to have up to four husbands. The queen herself only has three though; a tall, slim, aristocratic Chinese "pretty boy", a muscular Korean-Canadian idol and a sweet, innocent, 15-year old actor.

[Spanish Falangist State]

I can only imagine, how much jealous all three men would be to each other...

---

During Second Spanish Civil War, Adilio Cruz begged for French Rebel intervention in Catalonia, to prevent Loyalist troops escaping to Loyalist territories in France, which were still controlled by West European government. French rebels agreed, and invaded those Catalonian regions, which were under Loyalist control, and bordered them. French troops advanced only so far, and only so much, that Adilio could be strong enough to held conquered territory himself. After Adilio was strong enough, to hold French conquered territory alone, French rebels ceded it to him.

During war, there were very friendly relations between both French and Spanish rebels, which went worse, when Adilio captured Andorra, when Spanish Civil War was in its last stages. Adilio probably thought, that it was the last chance to get Andorra under his control. Later, after collapse of Russian Empire, French State supported Carlist rebels in Northern Spain with guns and equipment, but Carlist revolt wasn't big enough, to seriously threaten Adilio's power. However, Carlists still gained some successes, mostly due of French support. When French State stopped supporting Carlists, they fell fast. Currently relations between French State and Spanish Falangist State are negative.

[The Islands of Versilia]

That’s a shame.

Versilia has great relations with the Confucian nations, such as Qing, Goseon (Korea) and others. In fact, there are confusion elements in Versilian culture, but these have been adapted to the matriarchal-leaning culture of Versilia. As stated by the Afro-Californian adventurer Quantell Shelton in 1923, “Versilian culture is Confucian, if you take away all the penii waving.”

[Crysuko]

An interesting arrangement of culture mixtures and international politics.

In 2008, among conspiracy theorists and others there's a particularly period known as "the bloody ten days". Tired of flat earth and geocentric societies spreading misinformation, the government invited their leaders and members to a set of formal debates and experiments. When they entered, they only found empty halls and forums. And then the gunfire began.

Over those ten days, many fringe and conspiracy groups such as these were systematically purged. Over 2500 were executed with thousands more put in reeducation facilities. Nowadays, said fringe groups have little or no organisation, forced entirely underground.

[Bluelight-R006]

Wow... that’s really devastating and just... weird... in a neutral way.

Ћ nation’s government itself has been producing three types of Magazines. Ћ names of these magazines are: Ћ Military Strength, Our Tech and Our Magic. These magazines simply brag about Ћ Strength our Military has, our high tech and our complexity in magic respectively. There’s even a Minister of Magazines and a section of Ћ Government Controlling these Magazines. However, they’re catched up to Ћ Modern style of Magazines and are one of Ћ best-selling magazines in Ћ nation.

Even some of them have been put up in our factbooks.

[The Great-German Empire]

That's a damn lot of magazines. Are the citizens as obsessed as the government?

The Junkers J3000 is the fastest operated airliner in the world, reaching speeds of 3000 kilometers an hour. It has a length of 80 meters and a capacity of 220 passengers. Though starting out as a rather unprofitable and uncertain experiment, joint government and Junkers science experiments have refined the aircraft. As of 2016, the year when the latest, most fuel-efficient J3000-VII version was released, 200 aircraft of this series have been built.
