Prior to moving to the Presidential Home, the Keßler family lived in a family bungalow. After Marius’ presidency, they’ll go back to that lifestyle.

[A m e n r i a]

Well, what else would you expect from a president? Isn't that what they do?

Ever since he was a teenager, Cheonsa has always named the cats he picks up from the streets after food. His first cats were named Yoghurt and Ice Cream, and the cats he own now are named Cincau and Cendol. The reason for this is because he thinks giving pets human names is too mainstream and giving pets food names is unique.

[Kombinita Socialisma Demokratio]

Okay... Personally I find I somewhat disturbing to name anyone after something that I would eat.

We are a direct* democracy. Anyone who will be affected by the law and passes a maturity test (what we use instead of age for the age of majority) may vote, excluding voting for one's own salary.

"Song Liyuan Thought"
As of 22 May 2061, the Council of Democrats has decided to list many of Song's ideas of governance and philosophies to the constitution of the SUSR, a common practice for whenever a new character takes rank as head of state.

Song has stated that this new ideology is a continuation of Pan Cheng Thought and a return to Engels, Laxim, and Amundsven Thought, she says that it is a refusal of Wessleyism, Romanicism, Salasism, and Morgenism.

This is a stepping stone into a cult of personality, and we all know such leadership worship hinders progress.

Ever since a massive male population decline due to the Great Calamity when the majority of the world's factions (United Nations and the 'Third Worldists' which is a loose term for unaffiliated Fascist/Communist/Anarchist rebels fighting locally or semi-globally) fight with predominately male populations, the realm of gender and sexuality has been blurred so bad the concept of 'gay' or 'straight' rarely exists but people are still aware of 'preferences', however, since the dominant nation in the Technocracy at the time is China, Chinese gender norms played a role in modern Technocratic views on it, albeit very blurred from the original. "Feminine" and "Masculine" are still used but it doesn't adhere to a specific sex. A Male Sex can be 'feminine' simply by having so-and-so traits the East Asians described it as back in the Neoliberal days of Humanity.

Because of this blur, Data Archaeologists who mine for old data from centuries past are constantly shocked about terms like "Traps are Gay" or "Femboy" once they decipher its meaning. Considering how the male population never stabilized until the late 2200s, men today would be seen as "Pussy liberals" by Neoliberals, Conservatives, and Fascists of the early 2000s despite being physically healthier and more educated. "Masculine" in this case doesn't imply large muscles as it's seen as "inefficient" given how steroid use or overexercise of muscle groups can lead to early death, and instead, the ideal "Masculine" look is simply healthy skin, well groomed features, and a 'toned' body. 'Feminine' is simply smooth, skinny (but not anorexic), and 'cute'. However, women can be 'masculine' and most citizens never think about the gender/sex history of those terms, it's just an adjective.

[Persagonian Republic]

I've never thought that your nation would throw away the concept of gender norms out the window like that. But, eh, do what ever you want with your gender studies.

After the forced disbandment of the Islamist Basij and the Sepah (IRGC) in Iran after a counter-coup against the Islamic government in the early 1980s, their members had flocked to foreign nations in the masses to work as mercenaries or to spread the Islamic revolution in the Middle East. Noteworthy examples are Iranian Quds Brigade commanders and Shia militiamen immigrating to Lebanon and assisting in the development of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine that played a key role in both the Lebanese Civil War and the Intifada. They are top fugitive terrorists that are constantly targeted by foreign intelligence agencies.

As for the Iranian mercenaries; the CIA would conduct a covert operation that involved recruiting foreign mercenaries to do their dirty work to contain the spread of communism in the 80s because using army soldiers would've been diplomatically costly for the government. Many of them were ex-Islamist Iranian militiamen that had similar anti-communist views and became soldiers of fortune to fund their lifestyle. They were deployed in warzones such as Nicaragua, Namibia, Angola, and many others to combat communist forces as the right hand man of the US government. After the end of the Cold War, these mercenaries had gone astray and became independent in their operation. Thus, involved in numerous atrocities in Rwanda, Zaire, and other African warzones as governmental contractors.

So first the US screws up countries, then those same people that screwed up those countries, screw them up even more.

New Transeurasia's police forces are semi-privatized, meaning a municipality can replace its police force with that of a company. There is actually be both a benefit and a disadvantage to citizens, as these companies may either raise the amount of police officers, making for less crime and causing higher taxes for the citizens, or lower the amount of police officers, making for more crime and lower taxes for the citizens.

[Oswyn Islands]

I must firmly state that I would be opposed to any privatisation of the police forces in my home country. Private company lackies cannot be trusted in my opinion.

The Nationaler Gesundheitsservice (Abrv. NGs) is the public-owned healthcare service operated by the government. It is fairly minimal in terms of actual treatment, but is reported to have some of the most friendly and caring staff in the country. It has recently gotten a budget boost for the coming year, and many are debating expanding it.

[Greate Boston]

If it is "fairly minimal", it shouldn't exist. Otherwise, public healthcare is, generally, a good idea.

"The Lone Wanderer", a 'Oliver Wight', is something of a living legend to most of the East Coast. He single-handedly liberated The Capital Wasteland from the slavers of Paradise Falls, helped the Brotherhood of Steel bring pure water to the peoples and destroyed The Enclave once and for all. He is seen as "The Founding Father" of the Capital Union, one of the largest states to exist in the American Wastelands (it controls the American territories between The Pitt in Pittsburg and The Capital Wasteland), as a legendary figure by the Brotherhood of Steel, as "The Liberator" by both Ghouls and Slaves (from The Pitt and The Falls), among other titles.
Across the Wastes, he is known as Courier Six in the New Vegas, where he helped the small province get its independence from both NCR and the Legion after a lengthy battle near Hoover Dam. A great many people in the Commonwealth believe him to be nothing but a legend, but in truth, he retired to a small home somewhere in The Republic of Nevada, and hasn't been seen since 2282 by anyone except a few people from The Followers of Apocalypse when they really need his help for something.

[Wawakanatote]

Sounds like a great story to tell around a campfire.

Albania (SUSR) for a long time rejected the use of the market system within its economy as past leaders wanted to stay "pure" to Engelism-Laximism and this unwillingness to adapt to the situations around Albania ultimately made the republic one of the SUSR's least developed, ranking near the bottom, right above the East African Republics. Tafaj wants to change this by reconstructing the economy to allow for globalization and "free" trade with the other republics.

German healthcare is strange - and by that I mean really strange. The Krupp system of granting health insurance and other forms of social security to employees, originating from the 19th Cenutry, would become a national staple; FVP Chancellor Gustav Stresemann even allowed small businesses to complete with this by guiding the creation of 'business welfare federations' in which the social services that only huge corporations could afford to provide before could now be organized by groups of small-to-medium businesses. Corporate and federate medicine forms the backbone of the country's healthcare net, and, while far from perfect, will save one's life.

The costly private healthcare that is notorious in America (But also earned the country the distinction of medical tech leader, ahead of even Germany by a considerable stretch) exists on a smaller scale for upper-middle class and up, and is becoming slightly more accessible now. Independent private healthcare for individuals may become more popular as the populace gets richer and more comfortable.

Since the 1990s and especially since 2001, another option has also become available through the Crown Health Service, a German-wide healthcare provider founded by Emperor Louis V (Ludwig) and expanded by the current Friedrich V. Roughly 40% of it is owned by the actual Crown (not the government), another 30% by other German monarchs, and the rest is private investments capped at that level. The Service provides slightly sub-Private level service for significantly lower prices, and accomplishes a stable level of assets through donations (Frequent and plentiful because everybody respects the Crown) and through research sharing with private medical companies willing to spill beans for the Emperor. The reason for the Service's foundation was actually the termination of healthcare services in much of western Germany during and shortly after the Civil War, and has remained the dominant healthcare force there as private businesses are not confident enough to restore coverage.

That's certainly unique. The private sector's involvement is rather suspicious though.

Every noble family in Amenria has a heir(ess) with the exception of the Miao Coven, which has two. This is because the Coven mandates that the eldest child becomes the heir(ess), but the current matriarch has twin daughters. When she dies, both daughters will become matriarchs of the Coven with equal legal rights.

[Anime North America]

As novel as that may be, I could see that having just as many problems as the alternative. What if one of the twins strongly disagrees with her sister? Could they defer the decision to a cabinet, or does nothing get done till one of them yields?

MIDDLE EAST: Despite collaborating in their recolonization of the Middle East and Africa, the Imperial Federation (Germany), Italy, and France are all technically in differing alliances, and friction still exists between all three. Perhaps the most widely-publicized incident between them was Germany's attempt to occupy Israel and Palestine and secure an important trading port in the Mediterranean.

The Italian commander, a vacationing brigadier general with a force of several hundred gendarmes against thousands of German soldiers, stood firm, and refused to give up the land on the grounds of "certain unsavory actions perpetrated by the German people". Israel and Palestine remain in Italian hands to this day.

If that happens, they'll probably do a Challenge Battle or, if that is deemed too dangerous by the Patriarch of the current ruling Noble Family, all Patriarchs and Matriarchs of Noble Families will discuss the matter in a meeting.

In Rockies (one of FAE's mega-states), crucifixion is used as a punishment. (As Rockies are literally ran by Caesar's Legion in SC's timeline) It is usually used for drug dealers, or other criminals, but recently there has been a debate about using it for political opponents too, especially for capitalists.

Groups of nationalistic youth delinquents -similar to the Red Guards- were used by the (now) ruling political party to scare away Casino and brothel customers run by the Italian mafia throughout the 1950s. Their horizontal organization and dogmatism made them hard to infiltrate or bribe. They also tended to walk between what was legal and what wasn't to efficiently harass "foreign invaders"; these included driving around in public streets and parking areas with vans armed with loud-speakers to blast patriotic songs and slogans or taking photos of johns and prostitutes in public areas to make them feel uncomfortable.

In 2004 a Prussian-Polish woman was kidnapped by the Yakuza to serve as a stripper in Tokyo.
9 days later 5 Orzel(Eagle) bombers dropped munitions on Tokyo for the first time since WW2. Final damages were estimated at in excess of 5 billion. To add insult to injury the Yakuza boss responsible was kidnapped after the fact and sold to a Thai brothel.
