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

[A m e n r i a]

I hope more criminals in your nation reform and find enlightenment.

Crosses have no effect on the vampires on our world since they are neither demons nor undead, but living creatures, as opposed to medieval Catholic propaganda lore.

[Wawakanatote]

So you're saying there's nothing to stop a vampire from biting me that I couldn't use against any regular person?

The government system of the SUSR is classified as a "Federal Engelist-Laximist One-Party Socialist Republic". It is led primarily by the Council of Democrats, a bureaucratic institution responsible for the day to day functionings of the state in the benefit of the working class. It abides by a planned socialist market economy led by the Chairperson and General-Secretary, in which they hold their meetings in the SUSR capital of Dunidbelopidos in the Socialist Republic of Wawakanatote.

[Zitravgrad]

Yip. Most socialist countries have one party because having multiple parties is going to be r i s k y.

Zitravgrad's food industry is not exactly down, just a little complicated. Although the nuclear war has ended and no one is expecting a new war that soon, the war destroyed many agricultural and industrial areas. (But we insist that we can still operate the mines there. Welp.) Thus, it leads to the need to move most of the food manufacturing to Kasgalamov, the southernmost state where it is warmer and untouched by the wasteland zones, and Svarevna, where we do most fishing.

The further away you are from these two states, the more well-preserved your food is. The food production of the northeastern states is paralyzed and their main income is mining and manufacturing, so their food comes all the way from the south and the west of the country -- canned, jarred, frozen (solid), freeze-dried, sun(?)-dried, etc. Apparently, frozen meats don't melt that easily in Zitravgradian climate and there is a meme with a man cutting frozen meat with an axe with a caption: "When your meat is colder than your entire country."

[The Islands of Versilia]

That’s a well thought-out and realistic fact in my opinion. I must applaud you, nice job.

Vampires very often teach their offspring how to mend clothes and generally survive on their own in the wild in case of anything disasterous occurring. As a result, forests are commonly teeming with fledglings and their parents on weekends.

Pretty much. Their increased strength and durability would still be a problem should a vampire choose to attack you, for some reason. /skip

[Derping]

Well that's...interesting. Dunno what the clothes part had to do with anything but okay.

Cars are illegal in Derping and most of the population gets around with the use of bicycles, so a lot of the roads are about half the size as usual. It isn't uncommon to see Derper-mounted poilce either. And for some reason speed limits don't exist.

I mean it would make robberies more difficult to pull off, so there’s at least a few positives.

Dragzok once ambushed a vacationing party of Thai nationals, taking two women as slave-wives. He later found out that only one of those two women was actually female.

[Zitravgrad]

I'm a Thai. Lemme guess... the prettier one is not a woman.

[The Islands of Versilia]

Absolutely filthy. These barbarians should be hunted down like the curs they are.

---

The average vampire is in education for around 30 years. This is because vampire live much longer and education is considered key to survival.

[A m e n r i a]

I wonder what they study.

In our world, families of vampires are known as covens, werewolves as packs, dragonfolk as flights, and merfolk as schools.

Due to our relatively lax immigration policies, the asian community in Orwick is increasing significantly. In 2000 the Asian-Orwickians represented 9,3% of our total population, but now, in 2018, according to current data, they comprise a total of 16,2%.

The three biggest foreigner communities in our country are, in the following order:

1° - Chinese
2° - Filipino
3° - Vietnamese

[The Atlantean Islands]

How does your people feel about that? What about their (your people, not the immigrants) culture?

An abandoned cruise ship that was around halfway between the size of the RMS Titanic and a Disney cruise ship was turned into a small town. This town, called Splendor, after the cruise ship's name, is located in Amanra province. The town comes with a town hall, once the captain's quarters and nearby rooms, a general store, other stores and restaurants, including a McDonald's, an elementary school, a middle school, a high school, a church, at least one infirmary and a police station. The town also comes with Wi-Fi.

[The Islands of Versilia]

That’s quite strange. Is this ‘town’ level or elevated? If it’s elevated, it must make travel in and out problematic.

---

Vampires naturally coalesce into small groups known as “Families.” These ‘families’ often start out as a group of unrelated vampires, but mating within the family causes future generations to become related. These descendants often then go off and form their own families.
Vampires dislike being part of massive groups, and prefer small circles.
Within families and with vampires in general there are really only three ‘genders’. These are breeding males, breeding females and those who do not breed. Homosexuals and asexuals are most often these non-breeders, and primarily take care of orphans and lost offspring. Non-breeders make up at least 45% of the population, and statistics show this level is increasing.

Interesting.

The Republican and Democratic parties of Texas are both advocates of a peaceful reunification of the U.S. through compromise and through working with Republicans and Democrats with other former states. The largest advocate for this kind of reunification is Virginia, which currently holds Washington D.C.

[The Atlantean Islands]

That is nice.

During the Cold War, Atlantis was not hostile to socialist-ish ideas. In fact, Atlantis subscribed to social democratic ideals, and it was not until the mid 80s that it "ditched" (rehauled to a bank of sorts) the welfare system. It was, however, hostile to the authoritarianism that came with communism, as that ran against what Atlantis stood for.

Ironically, Atlantis had (and still has) some form of authoritarianism (in the form of the monarchy), as to act as a counterweight to democracy, and not to completely run the government.

[The Islands of Versilia]

That makes sense. A moderate amount of democracy and authority is quite understandable, though spreading out the power is best in my opinion.

For vampires, baring their fangs when fighting is an automatic reflex. Merely flashing the fangs is just aggression, whereas gaping the mouth open and baring all four fangs hints that they’re going for the kill.

[Knessniet]

That explains their reactions to our KNN correspondents.

---

In Knessniet, it is possible to become a noble through non-bloodline or marriage related means. You must simply conquer new land in the name of Knessniet, and the Grand Duke will give it you as a feif. Pretty good deal.

[The Atlantean Islands]

At least no one can be unlucky for not being born into nobility.

Antillia Castle is the largest castle in Atlantis, and, while it was built in the 10th century as a wooden motte-and-bailey castle, became the largest castle in Europe by the start of the 13th century until that title was snagged by Malbork Castle. It was home to the Duke of Antillia for around 750 years, until the abolition of the peerage system, following the end of the Atlantean Civil War. It is now the capitol building of the Antillia Metropolitan Area, and the governor lives there.

[A m e n r i a]

Respect to whoever gets to clean that castle every day.

The system of hierarchy within Amenrian nobility was inspired by the Yakuza. Each head of a noble family is known as a Patriarch (or Matriarch, if female). Patriarchs and Matriarchs of minor noble houses report to the Patriarch/Matriarch of the major noble house that oversees them (e.g the King of Thailand and the Sultan of Brunei both report to Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa).

[Tundra Terra]

So just like almost every other clan system in real life.

Tundra Terrans are human in their core but have been genetically altered in such a way that secondary organs, enhanced bone-muscle, near perfect eyesight, and a lifespan of 300 years with their bodies only truly breaking down at age 280. This combined with the traditional 18 when one becomes a full adult in a military culture creates a frightening, murderous, and veteran military force to reckon with.

Excellent. Now I could make use of these steel-clad hunks to build an all-powerful military of my own.

The Gothic Empress has been reported to have written in Chapter 201, Volume 2 of her memoirs: "What drives me much into a plethora of madness and paranoia were the three things loathed above all throughout the Empire: democracy, an apolitical life, and passive nihilists."

Interesting, but why would political nihilism and apolitical-ness matter in a (presumably) autocratic empire?

After the Revolution purged the previous government, Revolutionaries took to completely remodeling society at every level. This includes time, as a result, time is divided into consistent intervals of twelve, as were all measurements at the time of the Revolution.

Oh, blame it on the bronies, the neckbeards, and the neets! They are responsible for bringing this non-dualistic heresy into Gothica! Anyways, blame the revolutionaries. They need real re-conditioning.

Prince Matthias von Dracovar - the Empress' right hand - was also one of the architects of the renewal of the Imperial Capital.

[Wawakanatote]

We did similar things after our very own revolution as well, however changing how time was displayed was not one of them.
AN:
I'm not sure if I'm really surprised by that discovery. Anyways good on him for making history.

According to SUSR media outlets, the Democratic Party SUSR is split into two camps. The first camp being the Reformists, who generally fall in line with Chairwoman Song Liyuan, support the special economic zones (or capitalist pockets) of SUSR economic growth and development along with supporting a win-win cooperation foreign policy and opening up. However, the second camp being the Revolutionaries, who generally fall in line with Vice Chairman Lev Bronshtein, oppose the special economic zones, win-win cooperation, and opening up policies of the Reformists instead advocating for war communist economic policies, re-establishment of communes, and neo-conservative foreign policies.
