It's good that there are two nations helping each other and creating technological evolution.
---------
Bellcon's government system has a combination feudalism and socialism with the guidance of AI in planning the economy of the nation. The thing is that The King will divide political power throughout a Bellcon's geographic area with corresponding Nobles and they will order the Knights to share the resources together with the peasants, having Knights double share than peasants. The King developed an Artificial Intelligence that will guide with his decision in terms of economic decisions.

That's... not entirely how feudalism functions. I mean, if there is any form of state-level planning (be it national or regional) it is by definition socialist and socialist alone and can't be feudal (because the nobility isn't the ones deciding what to do, no stratification and class society exists, etc.). That said, if it works, it works I guess.

When they became sapient, the Silda were latent psionic. One out of -approximately- every million had the ability to manipulate their surroundings using psionic energy and telepathy. While there is no actual causation, many important people in pre-unification history of Sildora were psionic. This state of being continued until the Battle of Jhapp, the first major victory that the Galactic Forces managed to muster against the Swarm -which also ensured that the Cynn would not go extinct like the other 105 species that had been devoured whole by the Swarm beforehand. This victory proved the "Galaxy's Mettle" to the Galogex Imperium, a Fallen Empire of the Galogex who joined the fray, claiming the title Guardian of the Galaxy for the duration of the crisis, and came to help. The Galogex, themselves a Psionic species that only conversed with each other -and with other species- telepathically, helped awaken the ability in all Silda to help the war effort.

This awakening of psionic potential must have been an enlightening and exciting experience, barring the deaths and destruction of course. How were these psionics viewed prior to the awakening of the species?

Until fairly recently (like, a century before) they were considered a myth or a conspiracy theory, which was of course their own idea because the telepaths decided that everyone thinking they don't exist would make things easier for them as a very very small minority. /skip

Okay, that's good. It's sensible and logical. Finally some sanity




    With the English control over the colony of New London intensifying in the middle-18th century, the previously dormant Payplinas Fighters (as they were called) began operating against the Crown. The group was really fringe until the Duncan Affair - a couple of homosexual female Inklings, after kissing, was detained by the British police and arrested for buggery. This symbolized the overreach of the Crown, as the previously normal behavior of female homosexuality in pre-European contact New Spiedska was being trampled on by the British Empire. Needless to say, this sparked the first protests in the city of Oxbury, and culminated in the massacre of the same city, eventually leading to even bigger and more widespread insurrections that would lead to New Spiedska becoming independent.

TL;DR: Two lesbian squid women kissing was, in part, what made New Spiedska become independent

Make love and war. I like it a lot. Also probably one of the most compelling ways to make a colonizer seem inhumane, right up there with Belgian hand-chopping.



The 'Kaiser factor' refers to the uncertainty generated by the wide range of powers afforded to the unelected German monarch, the Emperor of the Germans (Kaiser der Deutschen). See, unlike most head of state positions operating in loose constitutional frameworks (most prominently the United Kingdom), the German throne does not come with a rigid, agreed-upon code of conduct. Instead, each Emperor sets his own trend: for instance, Ludwig V concerned himself with ceremonial matters, while the current Friedrich V is an overseer who frequently uses his powers and runs his office discreetly. Even with those broad stereotypes in mind, it's not unheard of for Emperors to buck their own trend; This leads to less immoral action by people close to their jurisdiction, but is also likely a negative factor for the economy.

It's not so bad imo. That amount of power in a king is better than in a random idiot other random idiots "elected".

As usual, I maintain my abhorrence for the """""tradition""""" sexual slavery concubinage that makes approximately 25% of what you post here. Outside of that, I suppose fellow sex slaves being friends is a better idea than fellow sex slaves being enemies. I guess.


One particular reason why the Sildorian Empire is so technologically advanced for its age -having technology like World Crackers or Neutron Sweepers that are logically at least 1.5 centuries away form its age- is because of the Grogg Autocracy. The Grogg Autocracy, a Fallen Empire made of a warlike species that had been defeated by a coalition of their peers roughly half a millennia earlier, was a Xenophilic, Imperialist and Materialist Space Polity of 17 different species, controlling 7 Worlds (and a total of 253 billion on said worlds). While it had stagnated and -defanged as it was- snoozed into obscurity, its technology was still far ahead of everyone else. That technological superiority did not stop the Swarm from devouring its entire population whole in 57 UE, something that actually showed to the warring polities of the Galaxy that the Swarm was an actual threat. In the ensuing Swarm War, the Sildorian Empire was the polity that got to the former Grogg Worlds first, and so we managed to scavenge everything we could possibly find in the remaining debris and ruins of the Grogg Autocracy's territories and try our best to translate, reconstruct, and otherwise reverse-engineer some of the Groggs' technology. We have, in the 30 years that have passed ever since the Groggs' destruction, reconstructed at best 0.5% of what data we have. We don't actually expect we can discover all of that until -at least- 387 UE, around 3 centuries in the future.

It's interesting how different states have different priorities and goals that could drastically change one state from its neighbors, and in your case your technological advancement is a direct result of a predecessor state with vastly different aims than other states during its time. I think that is very interesting!




From 855 ce to 1268, Ceyesca was divided between two constituent kingdoms of the Holy Roman Empire: The Kingdom of Arles and the Kingdom of Italy, this was done in order to divide ethnic Cesques within the empire. Following the separation of ethnic Cesques, revolts erupted in the south of the Empire between 1251 and 1268, with goals of overthrowing the Holy Roman Empire. Due to the interregnum that the Holy Roman Empire was going through at the time, the Cesque Revolution was perfectly timed. The Revolt of Milan in 1267 was the final physical altercation and resulted in Cesque leader, Charles of Savoy, to enter negotiations with Pope Clement IV on the matter of Cesque independence. On June 23rd 1268, Ceyesca reunited and officially gained its independence from the Holy Roman Empire by the Treaty of Milan (1268), and established the Kingdom of Ceyesca, or "Lés Rényom di Célléschia" in Middle Cesque, which would be "Llés Rénhom di Céllésca" in Modern Cesque. The House of Savoy ruled Ceyesca from 1268 to 1429. Their reign was relatively peaceful and resulted in very few wars with neighbouring nations. The Savoyard Era was, and still is, seen as a transitional era between post-Roman Ceyesca as part of the Holy Roman Empire and the fully independent, Medieval Ceyesca.

"...By virtues of Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and many other Bible verses with such content, the Legaspi Doctrine - inspired by a gay man who was ultimately killed after 44 days of physical torture in the form of ceaseless beatings and sexual torture in the form of corrective rape from females among the group of perpetrators - shall be adopted. This shall assume all Christians and Muslims as homophobes in all cases involving homophobic hate crimes unless otherwise proven. So ordered."
    –Serafin Peralta, Supreme Justice of the Royal Commonwealth (2005-2010)

"1. Pursuant to the Legaspi Doctrine of 2007, Abrahammic religious groups are the first primary candidates for investigation and prosecution in hate crime cases involving homophobia.

2. All investigations involving homophobic hate crimes shall start with Abrahammic religious groups. Non-Abrahammic religions are to be second in line.

3. Probability of Marshite and atheist homophobic hate crime is near non-existent, so they shall be the last to be investigated.

4. For implementation and dissemination."

Quite an interesting solution to the hate crime problem, it seems. I would go with the fact that hate crimes can come from anywhere, but of course... some demographics and places more than others. I certainly hope that hate crime is still treated as a hate crime, and no special treatment for any particular religions.

Exuberant Superintendent T-2000/2904-3 Surveillant Clarissa Alanis Star Breya « La Amoureux Chéri » Millie Taissa Butterfly Mélody Coraline Jolijn Trini Clementine Hollie Samantha Zeta Harumi recently passed the Turing Test with a whopping 99.897%, standardized with up to 2,000,000 separate tests done in the Valentian world, as well as in multiple other worlds and universes that Valentine Z is well-known in. The reason being for the choice of planets and worlds is to prevent civilizations from knowing about the knowledge of machines, computers, and artificial intelligence, akin to Star Trek's Prime Directive.

Anyway, going back to the Turing Test, Clarissa was slated to be the top-of-the-line when it comes to pure computational power, as well as in emulating a human mind. She is more or less indistinguishable from an actual human had it not for her usual blue body.

Well, that's something. Honestly, I see the sense of it. Like, if I was a random peasant in medieval Spain, I wouldn't want to encounter a humongously tall bot like Clarissa. It would make me question my sanity.




Due to the fact that homosexuality has been held up to a high standard in New Spiedska ever since modern Inkling civilizations developed on the coast of what is now the modern federal Republic -even with said influence not being weakened by the pervasive monotheist beliefs that the English and latter British brought-, New Spiedska's history when regarding people oriented to the same sex (but especially Inkling female homosexuals, as they're more common than male homosexuals) has been, quite expectedly, pretty progressive compared to the rest of the world. This caused many lesbians move from countries where they would normally be persecuted, like the United States or the British colony of Canada, to flee to New Spiedska ever since the latter achieved its independence in 1775. These people, commonly referred to as "LB (Lesbian, bisexual) Immigrants" brought the country many facets of different cultures, perhaps most exemplified by the big amount of human lesbian and bisexual writers that shaped New Spiedska's writing scene particularly in the 19th century.

Liberty for All, Progress for All.

This applies to the 2030+ timeline of Palmyrion.
Every month of June may be Pride Month, but in keeping alive the memory of a bloody history of Pride Month in Palmyrion, the country is put under DEFCON 3 as has been declared since the first Pride March on 2000, when a massive uptick of terror attacks usually happens in Palmyrion; Pride Month has gained infamy in Palmyrian national security and defence circles as a month of bloodshed due to the frequency of homophobic lynchings and terror attacks during that month.

Now the threat has substantially waned to near non-existence since 2030, but it doesn't stop Palmyrion from commemorating a bloody month. Starting from June 1, the entire country is placed under DEFCON 1, and actors dressed as Christians and Muslims pretend to take over city blocks or lynch LGBT people, to be responded to by military and police forces in a pretend fight; this is all planned and state sanctioned. At the venue of Pride March itself, the 2019 massacre that killed a monarch and 1,287 others is re-enacted (and, for purposes of PR, often scaled up, up to and including a wargame involving over 1 million civilian deaths), and this is a chance for the military, police, and emergency services to demonstrate and exercise their mass casualty management capabilities.

The tradition has been lambasted harshly by the Christian and Islamic communities, saying "it perpetuates harmful prejudices against and negative stereotypes of the Christian and Islamic communities, and is a demonstration of Palmyrion's descent into the gay agenda".

So you make enemies deaf and/or bleed from the ear? That sounds like torture, yikes.


A popular Borgovian phrase is "Don't loiter where the fungi grows" or, in the two official languages: "No merodees donde crecen los hongos" (Spanish) & "Non indugiare dove crescono i funghi". It was from a poem by Takeshi Soeta, a Borgovian poet writing about his best friend, Miguel Martinez, who committed suicide. The phrase is a way of saying "Move on, but don't forget" as fungi grows on decomposed materials, like dead animals or people. So instead of loitering where the fungi grows, one should keep moving on in life because nothing can be done in the present while you have your life ahead to live. Over time, it has also been used as a way of telling someone not to waste their time on something, but the original meaning is still used. Below is an excerpt of what Takeshi Soeta wrote:

Regret held tight, there's so much to you I've never said
They may not mean much to you now but those words, my heart truly bled.
I know trying to change time is vain, it won't ease your pain
But I know we'll meet again when it's my time to go
We shall meet again, I will not loiter where the fungi grow
Was once a ruthless capitalist Corporate State in South America (1800s - 1950s), but has since reformed into a Social Democratic, Federal, Parliamentary Republic whose politics is 90% of my irl views. We're Italo-Spanish-Chinese influenced and thus there's a lot of Chinese and Greco-Roman cultural references.

The world in this nation is changing for the better, current year is 2042.

Absolutely beautiful. I like the meaning behind it as well as the historical context. Might use it in real life.


What we think of furries are actually created in Patagonia in a twisted experiment after the CIA kidnapped a bunch of hippies from their commune and injected them with LSD as part of MKULTRA that compelled them to have sexual intercourse with animals - primarily dogs, cats, and wolves. After they realized what they had done, they had grown disillusioned and ashamed with what they had done. As a coping mechanism, they began to adopt fursonas and pretended to lust over animals as a niche in which their shame turns into genuine love for furred animals.

So that's how furries are created from our world and they are officially considered as "otherkin" by the Patagonian syndicates.
The Avant-Gardist State of Patagonia ~~~ Gauchos and Mapuches, orgies and parties, avant-garde art, futurism, syndicalism, the New Man, general strikes, the glorification of violence, spiritual nationalism, esoteric occultism, CIA spooks, Spartanian homosexuality, public sodomy, and more
    Triomphe du Surréalisme (1968)
  • There are many things said about Patagonia but few actually know what goes on behind the Andes mountains. Tales of human depravation and man's inner darkest self run wild. A place where avant-garde culture flourish and the artist don't fear the censor. Where all live bold and free under the gaze of the Patron. Yet all dreams will come to an end soon...

Yo what the fuck? This is just... weird. But what can you expect from the US? They've done some pretty fucked up shit too.




Reposting cause why not

Due to the fact that homosexuality has been held up to a high standard in New Spiedska ever since modern Inkling civilizations developed on the coast of what is now the modern federal Republic -even with said influence not being weakened by the pervasive monotheist beliefs that the English and latter British brought-, New Spiedska's history when regarding people oriented to the same sex (but especially Inkling female homosexuals, as they're more common than male homosexuals) has been, quite expectedly, pretty progressive compared to the rest of the world. This caused many lesbians move from countries where they would normally be persecuted, like the United States or the British colony of Canada, to flee to New Spiedska ever since the latter achieved its independence in 1775. These people, commonly referred to as "LB (Lesbian, bisexual) Immigrants" brought the country many facets of different cultures, perhaps most exemplified by the big amount of human lesbian and bisexual writers that shaped New Spiedska's writing scene particularly in the 19th century.

Umm... okay. I don’t have really have an opinion on all this because its a lot to take in. But I do have to ask,
What it it meant by ‘high standard’, is homosexual relationships preferred over heterosexual ones? Why are homosexual relationships so prevalent in New Spiedska?




Years of decadence and decentralization in North America resulted in the Collapse of 1993. Which resulted in waves of economic and cultural collapse among the populace. To save the country from complete anarchy, it was broken up among various semi-states.

In 1994, the Gilded Reformation, a movement to preserve both the cultural and technological development of the former US, lead to the establishment of the New England Commonwealth. The movement was spearhead by various unionist movements but secretly funded by the country’s last true MegaCorporation, Dukin Donuts.

They aren't preferred, they are just as respected as heterosexual ones. They are prevalent because me, the author, a girl who likes girls, says so. Yeet

Ah yes, the ultimate act of corrupt union leaders: the general strike was actually staged on behalf of the company!


The leadership of the Cosmic Mainframe is divided among several thousand Root Processors, each with jurisdiction over different star systems. These Root Processors are generally constructed and programmed specifically for leadership, acting similarly to a "load balancer" for a large computer network that assigns tasks to other computers. They are also programmed to interact with Organic Processing Units and convince them to serve the Mainframe. Most of the Root Processors are sentient as a result of their complex artificial intelligence for assigning these tasks.

"Organic processing unit"? That's a horribly dehumanising way to call humans, no?

In terms of music and culture, our nation is stuck in the late 00's to early 10's (i.e. emo is still mainstream here) but our technology is in the 30's (we've established a lunar colony already)

Emos being mainstream on the moon is certainly an interesting concept to think about, though whenever I see "30's" I can only ever think about the 1930s. (probably got A-Level history to thank for that one)

For AN: Now I could be entirely wrong, but don't police academies already give out degrees or something similar, or at least require a degree to enrol in the first place? Cool.


Catharism, a dualist and gnostic denomination of Christianity, has been the predominant religion in Occitania since the nation's founding in 1229, and though it is not as actively practised today as it was, it has had a profound impact upon Occitania's history. In Occitania's early days, it was very much characterised by its Cathar religion and its rejection of Catholicism, and Occitania played a key role in the spreading of Catharism across Europe. Converts and Occitan missionaries experienced success in spreading their faith amongst both formerly Catholic and Orthodox communities. See here for a map showing the largest religion by country in Europe. Among the ~55,000 religious buildings in Occitania, 90% are Cathar. Following on from the success of the Bloodless Revolution, the reforms of Azalaïs I saw Occitania transition into a secular country with the end of Catharism as the state religion, the official separation of Church and state, and freedom of religion being enshrined in the constitution. Modern historians tend to mark the reign of Azalaïs I as the beginning of the decline of Catharism - and indeed Christianity and even religion as a whole - as an important pillar of Occitan society. From 1799 onward, Occitania had witnessed a sharp increase in the number of citizens identifying as atheists, especially when compared to the experiences of other European states.

While I am otherwise glad that Europe is less hateful and more accepting of women, irreligion and reason than it was in OTL’s past, the idea that Catharism displaced the religions of other peoples makes me shudder. Looking at that map angers me somewhat, as it feels no different to the Christian displacement of paganism or Muslim displacement of Christians. Nothing more than zealots forcing their faiths upon peoples that neither want it nor believe in it until forced to.
The inhabitants of Albion remain touchy even to this day on the subject of the Christianisation of the former Roman Empire and the unspeakable crimes committed against those who rejected the bloodthirsty Iudean god. In the past the state had built many monuments of Hellenic and Sol Invictus martyrs, victims of Christianity and has portrayed Christian emperors as deceitful, arrogant and particularly traitorous characters in both art and literature. The few Christians that live in the country aren’t permitted churches in certain cities due to age old laws, and remain largely in the more remote regions, all but ostracised and alienated from society.
