Hmm, I’m sure Her Imperial Majesty would interested. She would probably only use it for financial gain and perhaps a small amount of insight into Knessniet.
Feudal titles can only be gained through absolute submission to the imperial crown and its authority. Any feudal titleholder could be uprooted and their entire family cast out from their former estate or territories if they’re found to be conspiring or generally going against the imperial sovereign.

This sounds pretty medieval, but if it works, can't do much.


The new Technocratic Council is 49% STEM, 49% Arts/Literature/Music, and 2% Humanities. Administrator Nadia Elbaz views the musicians and poets as an equal to the scientists and engineers. She still views those in the Humanities outside of History, Anthropology, and Sociology with suspicion, however and thus only Historians, Anthropologists, and Sociologists are given political say. Monuments celebrating Mariya Takeuichi, Alexander Borodin, Antonio Vivaldi, Gloria Jones, and other music icons throughout Terran history are being constructed to solidify the Administrator's vision of the Technocracy and also a symbol of the Administrator's grip on the nation: All her opponents have been wiped out, and those who dare stand against reform will suffer the same fate.

This also means the death of a Democratic reform as the Administrator is strongly against a system she views as Luddite in nature. This view is also reciprocated among the populace: The Humanity Front committed acts of genocide against Taloans simply because they're not an organic species. After Democratic-Luddite terrorist group have been squashed, people associate Democratic sentiment with Luddism and genocidal tendencies towards Taloans, the Administrator made good use of the tragedy despite giving Democrats more political speech in the Technocracy, "As long as it's not Anti-Technocracy in nature".

Your nation associates democracy with Luddites? Strange, I usually find it to be those who are against democracy who are more averse to technology, especially in the hands of the common folk.

Cyrodiil's recent economic boom has drawn in a large number of prospective settlers from the other provinces of the Empire, however this influx has also brought with it a spate of missing persons. Many who have recently arrived in Cyrodiil have alerted the authorities about family and friends who have - for all they know - quite literally vanished in the middle of the night without a trace. Local guards have not been able to find even the slightest clue as to what has happened to these missing people, and Empress Vallisara has since deployed the Blades/Dragonguard (an elite Imperial order dedicated to the protection and service of the Dragonborn rulers of Tamriel, often acting as an espionage force) and sent them out to investigate these sinister disappearances.

In actuality, however, it is a clan of vampires known as the Sisterhood of Blood that is behind these disappearances - not that anyone who is outside of the Sisterhood knows of this. These vampires, of whom Empress Vallisara is actually their leader (her true name being Nagaiarielle), have infiltrated the highest echelons of Imperial society and possess undeniable social and political domination over Cyrodiil, and by extension all of Tamriel. Even the Blades are in the pocket of the Sisterhood, with their leadership consisting of Sisterhood vampires, and so any of their "investigations" will naturally be fruitless. It is likely that those who have been abducted, who now serve as little more than a source of nourishment and entertainment for their new mistresses, will never be found.

Oh, phew...not us.

If we lived in the same dimension, we'd consider putting a quarantine on your planet.



We are probably the succubi and enchantresses from the Middle Ages who had their way with men. We're not sure though. Our anthropologists are however certain that reports of Grey aliens from the 20th and 21st Century are recollections of our abduction robots. We use these robots because we're not scary-looking enough to intimidate the people we temporarily borrow when we...eh "sample" DNA...the Grey robots make for really good red herrings so abductees don't remember us as often.

That seems somewhat comparable to christianity, which is ruled by a pope, where there is not just 1 church, but lots of churches in different countries outside of the Vatican.

New Trasnseurasian culture varies quite a lot between regions of New Transeurasia. A regular single citizen in Moscow shares an apartment with 2 or 3 other people, does not own a car or shares a car with their roomates, commutes to work by train or carpool, weighs 50kg-65kg(females) or 75kg-90kg(males), and earns between 50k and 70k(NSD) per year. A regular single citizen in Anchorage, Alaska Province lives in a terraced house, either alone or with 1 to 4 other people where the group can share 1 or 2 cars, commutes to work by car or bus, weighs 55kg-65kg(females) or 85kg-100kg(males), and earns between 40k and 60k(NSD) per year. A regular family in Moscow has either 1 or 2 parents, 2 or 3 children, lives in a large "family" apartment, does not own a car, usually 1(mother or father, somewhat more fathers) parent works at a job, earning between 60k and 95k(NSD) per year, and commutes to work by train or bus. A regular family in Anchorage, Alaska province usually has 2 parents, 2 children, lives in a suburban house, has 1 or 2 cars, usually 1(usually father) parent works at a job, earning between 60k and 80k(NSD) per year, and commutes to work by car or bus.

With such a broad geographic area, one should expect that. To be honest, Anchorage seems to be more pleasant.


The current Supreme Commander of the Knessian Armed Forces, Marshal H.P. Bevington, is known to value honor above all. During his tenure, he made quite a statement during the Knessian Involvemnt in Vietnam when he accepted a machete from a Vietcong commander akin to how Napoleonic officers would surrender their sword. He then personally saw that said prisoners were safely kept for the entire war, and swiftly repatriated afterwards. He was a Major at the time, commanding the 34th Engineer Battalion. When asked why he did it, he replied; "Honor is applicable to all combatants, even to pinko rice farmers."

It seems they have their priorities straight; after all, colonisation just doesn't really make sense anymore.

"Merry Christmas" in Nostrumic Latin is "Felicem Natalem Christi", which directly translates to "Happy Birthday, Christ"

Anthem: Ave Regina Caelorum

The Knights of Mare Nostrum are an order formed in 1189 centered around islands in the Mediterranean after the Knights Hospitaller and Templar merged, along with the integration of other knightly orders through history, and now serve a role as a militarized wing of the Papacy which utilises what is essentially hyper-militaristic canon law.

The peasantry and plebeian populations celebrate a number of holidays analogous to our own. However, these celebrations are usually centred around agriculture and horticulture. Celebration times include the solstices and the beginning & end of the harvest season.

I mean, that's to be expected in a multi-planet empire.

______

Any group with the necessary funds has access to the Yygdraii Mercenary Forces, but part of the cost of using them once is that you must defend our lands whenever we come under attack, regardless of who the enemy is. Most of the world is contractually obligated to defend us.
Think what would happen if you put the UK and Switzerland on an island that's half Hawaii and half Japan, and you get this country.

Politically, a slight twist on a Parliamentary system, with a young ruler dedicated primarily to education and healthcare on the throne at the moment.

Militarily neutral, does a lot of banking and arms manufacturing. Typically, they don't fight in wars, they just get blockaded from time to time so that one side loses access to Yydraii supplies.

Culturally very strange, but we have a booming entertainment sector internationally.

Socially, generally about as friendly as a bunch of people who prefer to mind their own business can be.

Climate-wise, basically half Hawaii, half England.

There has been a great revival of interest in the Roman Republic/Empire, Vikings and ancient Slavs in recent years. Hellenism is making a sturdy comeback in Hella and Italia, and Norse heathenry is returning to Scandinavia at the expense of Christianity. Many Christian leaders are dismayed over the decline of Christendom in Europa, but pagans and heathens are rejoicing.

Banning them is too much though.

Male names and gender-neutral names for women are getting increasingly popular since ~30 years before Amenria was founded. One example is Li Baorong, the Heavenly General, the highest military leader below the Heavenly Emperor and Empresses themselves. Aside from this, women wearing clothes for men is also starting to become a trend.

Atlantis is an MT nation that is the third richest country in the world, behind only China and the United States. It is closer to the USA, UK, Italy and Spain (in that order, though Italy and Spain is probably tied) culturally than it is Greece. It is also a naval power.

I frankly cannot think of any reason for that to happen. Strange.

Lethen Christmas is still quite reminiscent of old Christmas traditions. People decorate with less lights and more trinkets and wreaths and whatnot (though those in modern Letheny come with neon and shit anyways), and carols are still very commonplace. In the Lethen capital, Lunika, it's tradition to set up a really, really big tree at the town center, and also to donate the old one to rural towns so that they can do what they want with it. This year, Luka's cousin, Prince Jan of Romania, has publically stated that he will be climbing to the top of the giant tree and do a backflip off of it (with an inflatable bounce pad for safety).

This Romanian prince is what all Lethen women strive for. On a more serious note, this retention of old Christmas aesthetic is a flavorful if predictable attribute to a country which prides itself for being culturally and geopolitically old-fashioned.



The German Reichstag hasn't had an official dress code since its re-convocation in 1994 after the Civil War, when the Count of Mendelhayn - a free-minded fellow - was Chancellor. However, between that year (as a continuation of pre-War ethos) until around 2004/5, Reichstag delegates tended to dress smartly nonetheless, with little to no exception. Starting with the mid-"00"s, however, attending sessions in a more relaxed "smart casual" attire became standard form for right- and left-liberal "backbenchers", and was in fact welcomed by the usually-strict Chancellor Weißenberg, who liked being able to distinguish young blood from more seasoned representatives.
The breaking point was, as with many things, Theodor von Hartmann: Having been elected to a national constituency (rather than selected to an overhang party seat, considered the way to enter for newcomers) which traditionally went to the Conservatives rather than the National-Liberals at the tender age of 22 (2009 General Election; Breslau-2 Reichstag Constituency), he was immediately noticed as the most "dangerous" newcomer to the legislature. Then he became the NLP leader at 26, and kept the relaxed style because he (and I quote) "would like to stay comfortable while all [the speakers] droned on for hours." In 2014, he became Vice-Chancellor and adopted his now-famous dark-crimson turtleneck. This then carried through to his Chancellorship beginning in 2018, at which point everybody just stopped bothering. Now the informal, laid-back dress code and attitude of the Reichstag is renowned, and the contrast between this chamber and the Bundestag - which is still formal enough to make black tie look sloppy - is often noted by foreign papers.
