We deem school uniforms as a useless concept, that restricts adn doesn't help at all. But if it helps ya', well... that's nice.

A feudal democratic republic? Well, that's pretty unique concept. Let's hope governers are kept in check and try not to indulge in inbreeding. That bane of many european monarchs. It plagued Habsburg dynasty really hard.

Skyhookedians like unusual clothes and hairstyles. One can easily find long haierd men, or women with unusually colored hair, wearing outfits, that fit beach or rock concert. Tattoos are pretty common as well. Combined with carried guns, it can create unique slightly post apocalyptic vibe. Of course not all look like this...

eww... that.. isn't cultured or clean... fits skyhooked perfectly but.. ugh

walkerfort has either nice suits or good looking summer clothes or army uniforms



=======================================================================

cigarettes are advertised quite a bit in walkerfort despite marujiana and weed being banned,

malboro is the number 1 selling cigarette brand in the country

and vaping is seen as a sign of being a pathetic loser

Meh. I prefer cigars. Cigarettes are weak and mostly taste like a small ashtray. Never tried vaping, but it seems weak. One advantage of cigars is their cost, which tends to limit consumption to special occasions, which helps avoid addiction.

Valks tend to focus on apprenticeships, trade schools and entrepreneurship rather than an a college education. Valks consider the foreign practice of paying vast sums of money to attend college, to learn things that could have been learned for a mere fraction of the expense of college by acquiring literature at bookstores or online, to be wasteful and pretentious. Therefore, it makes more sense to equip the youth with marketable skills rather than to bury them in a mountain of debt, with no marketable skills.

well at leat they're actually smart

The Catsfernian military once underwent a project to determine the best breed or mix breed of dog for military use. Breeds tested with include Catsfernian Shepard, golden retriever, bloodhound, pitbull, kangal Shepard, black Labrador and husky. Various cross breeds of the before mentioned dogs were also tested. The dogs were tested on basic intelligence, combat ability, trainability, and friendless no non combatants. I the end it was found that a bloodhound, golden retriever, and kangal mix was best suited for combat due to its natural abilities in seeking out ad retrieving objects the dog is trained to recognize and the strong bite inherited from the kangal (up to 743 psi).

Some make college education free, some make it a privilege, Valk solution has it's own merit, not perfect in the long run, but it still works for a capitalist society.'

That's a hell of a bite. Must be hard for dog trainers to replace training equipment very often.

Before the theoratic regime came to power, Enthorea (Name of Skyhooked before revolution.) was a highly cultured society, that emphased arts and science. It's education was a literally world benchmark, and it's unique high culture created many magnificent masterpieces. Sad, that only very few of them survived the Edgar's regime's book burning policies and a civil war afterwards.

Such a shame, I would have compared it to Athens' magnificent culture


Th very first Empress of Rome was Empress Vitalia during 527-547 AD. Vitalia was the heir to Empero Myrius' throne who has created peace between the Goths during their migration. The catch was that Rome had to surrender vast territory in Romania and the Balkans and because of this many Romans were deported back to Rome and those who resisted were executed and the lands were in the process of being settled by Goths. When Empress Vitalia came to power, the public did not like her because she was a woman at the helm of the empire but when she promised to reform Rome back to glory everyone was convinced. Empress Vitalia had launched 4 offensive into Gothia during 536 AD. With the new military reform, the Romans were able to swiftly capture back the lost territories when the barbarian goths were caught of guard. She was able to reclaim the lost lands and she deported Goths and those who resisted were executed and the area was in the process of Romanization. To this day, Empress Vitalia has a statue of her located in the heart of Romania.

"Empress Vitalia seems like a wonderful leader, worthy of reverence... some day I'll be remembered that way" - Queen Emilla


Internet, motor vehicles, personal phones, and other long distance communication devices are all banned in Miilaria, so communication between ordinary citizens relies on mail that can be very slow, especially for those who can't afford fast postage fees. Any letters or packages put through the postal service are thoroughly inspected for prohibited or revolutionary content. The bans on long distance communication devices do not apply to members of the Royal Guard or Royal Court, for work purposes only. Queen Emilla is free to browse the internet as she desires.

Very inefficient.

We've developed very high strength adhesive tape, which is strong enough to repair crumbling buildings. While not as aesthetically pleasing as replacing the broken material, it is vastly more cost effective. Such is the genius of our fearless leader.

that's cool... but not as cool as flex tape


=======================================================


they say every anniversary of the death of danny the ace, he can be heard flying over elsridge as the sole protector, this is why many stay up to hear it and richard says that he can see danny's aircraft fly across the elsridge sky, his plane bearing the marks the day before he died.

Richard and few soldiers go to some hill to see it and usually they stay there for 2 hours before going back.

May danny rest in peace

Perhaps this danny was a great hero to Walkerfort in it's past. May he never be forgotten.

(Repeatin' this, cuz I wanna see a different, hopefully more detailed reaction to it.)

That’s admittedly definitely how I imagined Skyhooked and its people. It’s certainly very fitting and in-character with Skyhooked’s liberal and libertarian society.

Kyria is home to the most speakers of Rhoman (Latin) in the world. Some persons grow up bilingual in both Rhoman and Brittanic (English).

growing up bilingual cant hurt

The Catsfernian militarization of bees didn't begin as a government initiative but rather as a private venture. A bioengineering company in Catsfern was attempting to engineer a new type of honeybee that would produce honey more efficiently for use in the Catsfernian agriculture sector, however they accidentally created a bee with a much more potent sting than naturally occurring bees. As soon as the Catsferian government got wind of this operation "Buzz Kill" was underway. These new bees were selectively bread and genetically modified further so that their stings were deadly to most people after only one sting. the bees themselves are normally quite docile acting as most common honeybees do but when exposed to a certain pheromone become highly aggressive towards any non bee covered in the pheromone. In combat this pheromone is sprayed over an area via aircraft similar to crop dusters and the bees are released from large containers near by.

Weaponizing bees. I like it.

The largest sport within the Stellar Concordat is 'Fighter Racing'. Using old space-frames, these races are some of the most fierce competitions inside the Stellar Concordat, comparable to the world cup.

These races are organized into teams of 4, each of which represents a city. City teams compete in planetary leagues, move onto system leagues, than sector leagues, cluster leagues, and then the Galactic Leagues.

To make the Galactic Leagues is considered a massive honor. The winning teams are all given the honorary title of 'Ace'.

Tracks also vary massively from planet to planet- The most famous track, however, is the Capital Ring. Dancing through the orbit of Concordat Prime, this track is used year after year for the conclusion of the Galactic Leagues. Fighting is fierce in these competitions, due to only 12 teams making it to the end. There is a competition every year, and most cities maintain as many as 10 teams because of this, with unofficial city leagues some of the most competitive in the Concordat.

Each team is composed of three pilots, and one mechanic. Each pilot must complete five laps of a track, in there own fighter. Weapons are strictly banned from these contests, so it is simply a test of extreme piloting skill. Many of these pilots join into the military after 15 years of racing.

The most famous team of pilots is the team representing New Rhodes, 'Rhodian Thunder'. These three pilots, under the racing names Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp, are all famous for breaking nearly every record on every track. Shaving off as much as 2.4 seconds in many cases, with the most extreme incident seeing Starscream shaving 18.3 seconds off the Capital Ring. His record of 15.32.03 seconds still stands today. His teams record, of 57.35.53 seconds is a record unbroken to this day aswell, despite the fact these three saw the height of their racing careers in the 14th Era. The team retired in 2338 14E, after a successful racing career of 38 years. They won the most Honorary Titles in the history of the Stellar Concordat, 36 each, and their fighters are displayed on New Rhodes.

Huh, sounds like a pretty good competition sport, indeed. Kind of reminds me of Roman horse cart races. At least it's nothing bloody like Gladiator fights, right?

Taller leaders are typically more respected in SC, as height is typically associated with strength, and SC has a cultish approach to that. Short leaders are often mockingly called as "dwarfs". In fact, SC's governors have been working on a military project named "Titan", which intends to increase height of SC's clone soldiers in a separate program, and eventually - of civilian populace as well. (In other words, it is not easy being short in SC.)

In fact, Perry (The President-Governor of Rockies, who is about 190 cm) once wanted to take a seat in one of SC's busses, but all seats were taken, so he decided to force out someone, who was way shorter from the seat instead. When they objected, he said "Get out of my way, dwarf", and showed his regional passport, which verified, that he was the Dictator Perry himself. Of course, after that, the other person quickly left the seat.

I don't agree with it, but it is also pretty interesting.

The mayor of Cthultu District/Ukia is a puppy pug named Karl since 2018 (and yes, he elected democratically with %78 somehow.)

Was that an act of protest by the people? If so, I hope the powers that be took the hint.

Signs in Snofjogur are always written in at least four of the nation’s six official languages amd usually in all six. This has made abbreviations necessarily widespread. This has started to bleed into the people’s vocabulary. Additionally, hybrid words and phrases, such as the German-Norwegian “Wo ist toalettet?” (“Where is the toilet?”), are common, since everyone is at least trilingual from a young age. Many linguists believe Snofjogur will eventually develop its own language, which they claim will be a curious mixture of the six languages and be highly efficient in terms of brevity and information per word.

Huh, that's interesting. This shows the culture of Snofjogur nicely.

Seeing as how Inkling society used to be so matriarchal because Females were stronger than the Males, which lead the Females to be the warriors, lead to the point that men were viewed as objects rather than people. With this, the Meninist movement of Inkopolitia started.

First Wave: The First Wave Meninist movement, starting in 1894 originally aimed for men to be able to vote. As Inkling society was more conservative and matriarchist back then, they were met with violence and social condemnation. They finally got wht they wanted when they got the right to vote in 1904.

Second Wave: This Second Wave is the one that lasted the most, starting in 1905 and ending in 2001. The objective for this generation was to stop the sexist influences in Inkopolitia, as men were seen as objects who did the dishes and cooked the food. Notably, they were still met with violence in 1969 in the infamous Cuttlefish St. Massacre, when the National Inkling Police Force (NIPF) responded with violence, shooting smoke bombs, ink and tear gas at the protesters. Approximately 302 male protesters and 2 female protesters died as a result of this confrontation. All it did was empower and extend the influence of the Meninist Movement in Inkopolitia. Most Inkling anthropologists, male and female, do agree that this was the last "legitimate" wave.

Third Wave: This is the most recent and current wave. Since men and women are now equal in all regards in Inkopolitia, this wave has rallied on flawed points, such as an already-fixed Gender Pay Gap, where, in the past, women were paid more than men on the same job and at the same working hours. They also hold an exaggerated view of men and believe that everything is sexist and matriarchist. Many survivors of the Cuttlefish St. Massacre say that this Third Wave does not look for the already established equality, rather that they look for male superiority.

Jesus, Splatoon is a lot more topical than I remember.

Jokes aside, it's pretty interesting. I like how you made US politics work with the Woomyverse.



This is less of a fact about the nation, but more of a fact about the universe.

German and Allied troops barely marched into the outskirts of Kiev before the USSR spiraled out of control (no "Great Patriotic War" or Nazi Germany means no unifying force of the USSR). By the end of 1948, the USSR ceased to exist.

Weimar Germany- wrote: By the end of 1948, the USSR ceased to exist.

The darkest timeline indeed.

(But wait, that means no Khrushchev!)

((But that also means no USSR either))

Prager University, an American institution and unofficial propaganda wing of the US government - led by Sonia Poupko (age:45), has made a series of videos on YouTube since 2060 which have discussed the alleged persecution of right-wing values on a global scale in every country. The organization has attempted to link the Song administration to a series of disappearances of right-wing protesters and billionaires since 2057.

Honestly I wouldn’t completely rule out that possibility, given the frequency of such “disappearances” in other socialist countries.

As ordered by the President, residents of the Districts (the Capitol is of course exempt) have been assigned uniforms, which are to be worn at all times in public areas. These uniforms are plain grey or navy blue wool bearing the wearer’s name and District number of origin. Each citizen recieves only one, and is expected to keep it clean and repair any damage. A citizen’s uniform is only replaced when it is physically impossible to repair by any means (i.e. vaporization).

That seems a bit extra. It would be cheaper to just make laminated national ID cards instead of make(and possibly have to pay) workers to make clothes for every one of the(100k-400k?) citizens in your nation. Though it is easier to enforce a national uniform, that means you would also have to pay to take care of the lawbreakers in prison/work camps.

New Transeurasia's rail system is much like that of Japan, though on a much, much larger scale. Most commuting in NT is done by commuter train. Since NT has a population of 4.3 billion, and cities of 200+ and 300+ million people, commuter trains are very high capacity, with the longest commuter trains being 704 meters long at 32 cars in Moscow on the Ivanovskaja Line from Jaroslavskij Terminal in historic Moscow, serving the center of downtown Moscow and its northeastern suburbs of Černogolovka, Kiržač, and Koĺčugino. It also serves the commuter towns of Juŕjev-Poĺskij and Tejkovo before reaching Ivanovo. Daily ridership in 2030 of the Ivanovskaja line was 22.482 million.

Good to see a nation keeping up with public transport

The Catsfernian government has long held the right to free speech and expression as the single most important right an individual has. The right to free speech has been upheld time and time again by both the CatsfernIan legislators and John Henry Eden himself. Noteworthy cases include direct death threats being declared legal if not acted upon, an extremely ant government radio station being allowed full operation, children having a recognized right to swear, a complete ban on banning books for any reason and many many more. In short no criminal charges can be given for any speech, or writing in and of itself. Any actions committed because of thes expressions however are completely available for the law to punish if illegal.

Free speech? What's that? Never heard of that, doesn't exist here in Averyickan City.

Averyickan City's government is Averyonarchy, a monarchy with a blend of communism. The workers directly debate and write laws while the king has the right to approve or veto those laws. The king can also write his own laws as well.

two bad systems in one I say

can't wait for it to collapse



=================================

walkerfort tries to mend relations with china sometimes but mostly fails

1998: walkerfort gave some gifts, the plane carrying the gifts exploded mid air from engine problems

1999: chinese leader toured walkerfort and got sick, had to be rushed back to bejing

2000: chinese leader visited again and it went perfectly

2001: attempts to build a bridge fail after it collapses and kills 100 workers and 12 civilians

2002: china and walkerfort trained together

2003: china gives a statue of mao to walkerfort to be put in elsridge

2004: china and walkerfort are on the same side during olympics

2005: china and walkerfort try to build another bridge but it collapses and kills 100 more workers, 50 civilians, 60 soldiers and the commander of 13th battalion when they drove over it

2006: both nations help make a space program

2007: another bridge is attempted and it works, 100 workers die from accidentally blowing themselves up

2008: walkerfort's navy trained with the chinese navy

Yeah, no. You’re not attempting to mend relations with China, especially when you threaten them with chemical weapons and other nonsense. To be honest, no one should have relations with a rogue and illegitimate state like Walkerfort.
