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

[Wawakanatote]

Sounds natural, but has this caused a childish outrage from the far right?

---

The Arabian President, Naadiya el-Hares had her former husband arrested after reports were found that confirmed his corrupt business practices between his company and foreign powers. She would have half of his net worth ($8.3 billion) seized and put into Arab schools.

Oh, naturally. They’re considered quite whiny by the general populace.

[Zitravgrad]

$8.3 billion and it's still only half of it...

---

The lifeblood of Zitravgradian culture can't be produced in Zitravgrad. Every year, the United Socialist States imports 1,530,000,000 Workers' Ticket worth of tea from Táohuā, a prominent state-capitalist ally in the Far Oriental.

Talking about Táohuā, they are a highly technologically-advanced nation with difficult geography and various controversies under an authoritarian left-wing regime -- much like Zitravgrad. On the other hand, Táohuā lacks a good source of metal and imports good quality metal from Zitravgrad at a fair price. These two nations have a good relationship in which tea plays a great role. In 2015, the General-Secretary of Táohuā gifted the Chairman of Zitravgrad a set of the finest tea in the country, and the the Chairman gifted the General-Secretary a metal samovar in return.

Have you considered greenhouse farming? It may be worth a shot at reducing any trade deficit.

---

Knessniet pursues a policy of autarky; complete self-reliance in economic matters. So far, it as been able to maintain that due to it's continued usage of coal over oil, vast agricultural plantations, huge industrial complexes, and extensive rail networks.

In recent years, this has benefitted the nation greatly, as fewer and fewer nations are looking to deal with autocratic slaver states.

[The City-State of Palmont]

Well, its really great to diminish your reliance in trade, especially when you're in Knessniet position.

---

The street racers in Palmont aren't just your average street racers who'll back out when the conditions aren't ideal, they're ruthless, competitive and aggressive. And the one proof of it is when the Palmont City Hall in late-2008 decided to put speed bumps all over the city... That didn't end well, with street racers...

Dear god, that is in no way a pleasant site to behold, but it is effective! Now I will go wash out my eyes after looking at that monstrosity.

In the western hemisphere there are three major powers; the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Each of them have very different leaders from each other. First, in Canada the Prime Minister is John Harold who is known for his advocacy of free market capitalism and third way liberalism, along with this he is in favor of establishing positive relations with the SUSR. Second, in Mexico the President is Benito Ruiz who is more of a traditional Social Democrat with some favoring towards nationalization and his positive attitude towards the SUSR, which is seen as a problem in the eyes of American bureaucrats. Speaking of America, they are led by President Samuel Clarke who is known for his neo-conservative domestic and foreign policies, militarization and privatization efforts, antisemitism, and crackdown on leftist protests. The SUSR has had a tough time establishing peaceful relations due to Clarke's extremism, which has even been commented on by both Harold and Ruiz as a detriment to global peace.

[Knessniet]

Why does it would like this Clarke is meant to be a vague reference to an actual politician that may also be intended to insult said vaguely referenced politician?

---

Knessians know that their nation is hated internationally, but they do not understand why. They see it as they way they have lived for the past 1,500 years, and think that the international community is just angry that their brave and noble Grand Duke is standing up for their right to live the way they like. This is also a major reason why Herman XIII is considered to be one of the greatest monarchs by his subjects.

It's not a reference to Trump. If that's what you are thinking. Clarke is probably more of a reference to people like Bolsonaro if anything.//skip//

Good. I hear too many Trump references. I like him and all, but I'd like to read the news and see something else.

That sounds quite doubtful. I’m sure the slaves would disagree, and the peasants don’t know any better.

In Normund, slavery and human trafficking are a couple of the few crimes that will land one either with life without parole - or death.

[Anhatuba]

Even though I don't approve death penalty, IC or OOC, I'm not surprised or disgusted by that policy.


As of the current timeline year (2046), Anhatuba is exactly 25 years old.

Congrats, and New Transeurasia is 100 years old(Federation day since 1930, IC time is 2030), but that was earlier this year.

For tourists visiting New Transeurasia, there might be some culture shocks. One of these is that you may see people walking down the street smoking a joint of marijuana, as most drugs are legal. Cocaine too, is also legal, so you may see someone outdoors doing cocaine.

off-topic: I approve of the OP guy making that their national anthem.

How dare you be stoned! We'd stone you for that!

[Robosia]

Well, since AN didn't put anything, I'll do New Transeurasia:
*cough* Freetown Christiania *cough cough*

---

Seeing as Robosia has a primarily maritime economy, most people have only seen Robosians in harbors. As such, the vast majority of pop culture depictions of Robosia portray it as practically one big, cold port town.

[Xemt]

I said we'd stone you for that, you don't find that an interesting fact?

/skip

[Convallaria]

An unfortunate generalization, as I'm sure there are places that aren't quite so forbidding. Nevertheless, fishing and related seafaring professions are noble pursuits, and realistically should be regarded as such - I imagine Robosians are a tough population.

Early weekday mornings usually introduce an unappeasable black smog throughout Avalonia from a combination of stagnant cold air, fog, and sleet, which traps chimney smoke exhaust of the nearly five million coal-burning furnaces in the city.

That's scary, you should probably fix that.

"Sounds like the surveillance project Old World America had. Scary." -Mr. House

The Lucky 38 has not been opened to a human since before the Great War

[Frievolk]

Not surprising. For a great while, there was no one around, and then up until the NCR and the Legion showed up, the biggest human action around was gangs of bandits and rapists calling themselves 'Great Khans'.

In our world, America actually managed to successfully colonize Liberia, and did end up sending a few thousand slaves there are Free Men to settle in the area. By the time the 1st American Civil War had ended, the area had a population of 50,000. Not too much, but still better than what the single American Attempt at colonialism in OTL ended with. It was given official status as a Territory in 1901, and when the 2nd American Civil War ended, the New England Commonwealth claimed it, almost immediately raising it to a State.

[The Federated Soviets of North America]

iirc, Liberia was established by an American corporation IRL, and was never intended to be owned by the US. But the thought of an independent New England having a federal subdivision in West Africa is very interesting and entertaining.

---

The Netherlands is also a council communist society in our canon. Following their revolution, there was a referendum held in order to determine weather the Dutch territories in the Caribbean should become part of The Federated Soviets of North America, remain as Dutch holdings, or become independent. However, amazingly, the difference in votes between the three options was only in the single digits. Because of this, a third solution was proposed, where they are officially under the "joint administration" of North America and The Netherlands, but are de facto interdependent.

[Dequarmi]

"Ah...what a good way to avoid future colonial disputes, or risking leaving the colonized people alone and without support. Rational...so unlike most other politicians I meet these days."
- Chancellor Louis Hermainsch

---

It is considered peculiar by most that Dequarmi is a country that was simultaneously established from an anti-monarchist revolution, but yet currently allows its former rulers and aristocracy to remain within the country. The House of Holervis, the former royal family, only remained under house arrest till 1930, and the rest of the aristocracy had most of their power taken away, but some of their estates remained active until they were unable to financially support it. Even then, many of these estates are maintained as ordinary private property to this day.

[Union of Albandrite Socialist Republics]

That seems so odd considering the distance between the two, that plus council communism's decentralized nature would make it difficult to manage.

More evidence that bourgeois revolutions do not change the state of affairs.



The UASR's tallest buildings are the People's Towers of Living and Commerce. They are two twin towered concrete and steel residential buildings, one bearing a hammer and sickle sculpture and the other bearing a bright red star that could be seen from miles away. The towers sit on a larger complex of offices and other workplaces that are operated by their respected worker's councils. The Towers are both 1600 feet tall and contain roughly 108 stories each. They are rectangular in shape and work via an inner core, thus allowing maximum space throughout each floor. Every floor is specifically residential minus three. Floor 50 and floor 10 are both recreation floors in each tower with indoor pools and a restaurant on each. Floor 108 is a restaurant on one tower and a viewing area in the other. Residents usually consist of workers in the surrounding area and party members.

The "Joint Administration" bit is only a formality, they are de facto independent

[Valkalan]

Sounds a waste of resources. No doubt that rents for the apartments and food prices at the restaurants are not set to market levels. Therefore, building is a net loss to society. Short of privatization, it costs society more in subsidies than it will make in revenues.

Midas International stock rose above S1,859 per share today, following the release of the company's earnings report. The report showed a 11% increase in revenue, attributed returns on investments in Drajal real estate and developing nations. E.J. Khatami, founder and CEO of Midas, told reporter that "that's why I named the company Midas. We turn everything we touch into solid gold!"
