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

[The Islands of Versilia]

"Being bitten is pleasurable?" Seems pretty masochistic to me...

The current prime minister of Toraia, Yascho Jairo, has a Tumblr account. He uses his blog to teach other Tumblr users about the culture and how to speak Toraian. He does not, however, use it for political purposes -- not even expressing his views. It would be unprofessional, he claims. The one time he got political on his account was taking a stand for net neutrality.
“This is the era of communication. Knowledge will always be more important than money. To impede free speech in the name of monetary gain is, well, heinous.” --Yascho Jairo, on net neutrality (translated)

There are nerves in the necks, chests, hips and thighs of vampires which respond with a release of endorphins and ‘pleasure hormones’ when they are bitten.
... vampires, bruh.

We have no idea what any of that is. Are they related to that new wonderful invention, the telegraph?

Ever since the Fall the Traitor Empress has gone quite mad, banning the use of her real name and locking herself away in her shuttered palace. The title Traitor Empress has become quite common among the common people, though not to her face. No one wants to draw her ire, though she has little actual power left.

She sounds like a cranky lass.
Hopefully she gets better and starts doing what a ruler should do: leading with a gentle fist and a sharpened sword.

Versilia is locally known as Seïdesuni. Versilians are known as Seïdesunishin, and as an adjective ‘Versilian’ is Seïdesunido.

Interesting indeed.
Despite being a 1936 design originally, the Panzer IV remained in service even into the Korean War until it was finally replaced by the Kampfpanzer Panther. In Korea they had the nickname of "Opas Traktor" (Grandpa's Tractor) due to it's aged design.

[The Great-German Empire]

At least it was an "Opas Traktor" and not "Scheißepanzer".

War is viewed as inevitable in our world; while efforts for world peace are as intense as in any other timeline, it is understood here that no system of peacekeeping can work flawlessly, and thus whenever there is war, people don't aim to end it with protests and votes, but rather with a quick and decisive end in the favour of their country - Germany, for instance. Home-front failure is unheard of. There was never an (OOC:Vietnam).

Incredible! The SR shares some of those views!

The SR served with the Central Powers during WWI, which it gained land in the War, and the Allies during WWII, which it lost land in the War.

[Dawetid]

In our universe, the Allies won WWII and the Republic of Dawetid, being a part of the Allies, gained land.
Since I’ve run out of facts but still want to participate, I’ll reuse this one:
In the Dawetidish language, there are no cuss words.

[Freed Lymonia]

So like reverse Italy basically (and others)

Just... how?


In New Spleenpol there is “the wonders of the world” street. It has a lot of international monuments just sized down by a lot. It’s a big tourist draw, and is used a lot as an educational field trip for youngsters in our nation

Most languages has cuss words! This language is in our newspapers!

In the Netherlands pedophilia is in some cases (not) allowed

[Dawetid]

Allowed? In which cases?

Removed due to being ignored

[New Greater Netherlands]

Allowed? In which cases?
Reusing another old one:
Dawetids can be considered to be one of the least sexually active races: a survey conducted recently found that among Dawetidish couples, the number times that such an act was performed in their lifetime was equal to the number of children they have. Also, most Dawetids think that, as long as they can "complete the mission" (have a child), no special "position" is required.

Ok, but i am “neutral” on net neutrality

In the southern coast of Sikagoa, in the City of “Cathedral on the port” there is a popular diving spot for diving where you can find an old bell that was supposed to go to the... Cathedral n the port. (It’s called St. Nikolaus). The bell was brought to there by a neighboring nation. But the bell fell of the boat and was lost for years.

[The Islands of Versilia]

Huh. That’s neat. Strange how no one has recovered it, though.

Versilians overall can expect to live up to the age of 291. This is because vampires live up to around 300 years, and the non-vampire population is so small that their numbers don’t really count.

[Crysuko]

rather shortsighted to not consider every demographic

the anarchist organisation CCS-ICA has a great deal of influence, and it's thoguht they could raise an army to go toe to toe with the government. They are lead by a mysterious and enigmatic individual known only as "singer"

Sounds like trouble.

The swastika was never outlawed, consequently some units still used it as an emblem post-war despite use being frowned upon officially.

[Persagonia]

Nice, just like in Finland. I personally, don't see anything wrong with it.

---

Just repeating a fact:
When the Pope visited Persagonia in December 2017 for a Christmas celebration and was nearly killed by a sniper during a motorcade, our President smoked a cigar and calmly said to the Pope "I'm sorry, that bullet was intended for me, not you." and acted if it didn't happen whilst everybody, especially his wife, was in disarray and panic. Apparently, political assassination attempts are quite common in Persagonia and our leaders were quite used to it.

[Bastion Remnant]

Assassin's seem pretty common don't they.

also, hey, i see you in like every thread i go to.

[The Great-German Empire]

You should really bolster law enforcement.

The Crown that our Emperor wears in all his important speeches is none other than the German State Crown, conceptualized back in 1871 but not made until 1927. It is very massive and supposed to resemble the old Holy Roman crown. In 1966, it was damaged during an attempt at Emperor Ludwig Ferdinand I, when the assassin's bullet pierced the Crown's cross at the front and briefly entered the Emperor's head, damaging his brain and forcing him to abdicate almost immediately after regaining consciousness. It has since been repaired and is now actually bulletproof.

[Toraia]

Dang! That's gotta stink for poor Ludwig. At least a repeat of that couldn't happen now.

Toraian churches have a practice of using the communio layout (it’s called “kliinhikapa” in Toraian, which means “established in familial love”) for their sanctuaries, which basically means that the benches or chairs are arranged in a circle rather than rows, with the pulpit and lectern in the middle. This layout represents unity and love as a spiritual family.

[Democratic Exodian Territories]

That's certainly new. I've seen some churches where pews are arranged as such, but only very few...


Exodians seem to harbor a dislike for wine, with most preferring other forms of alcohol instead. Sometimes, a carbonated version of vodka or tequila is used as a substitute for champagne during celebrations and weddings, where the host knows the guests' tastes.

[British New England]

Seems a noble idea, but questionable

British New England was formed in 1783 by the states of New York, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut who during the Revolutionary War had a majority Loyalist population.
The Houses of the Parliament of New England resolved on Sep 15, 1783 to exercise its right to opt out of the United States by making an address to King George III of the United Kingdom. In 2017 personal popularity for Queen Elizabeth II remains high while popularity for the United States President remains low.

[Dawetid]

Reviving the monarchy?

[The Atlantean Islands]

Interesting. I wonder why.

In Atlantean English, "Merry Christmas" is used only less than 10% of the time, and its use does not seem to grow. This is probably because "Merry Christmas" is inconsistent with other greetings, such as "Happy Birthday," "Happy New Year's," etc.

Odd choice but has some reasoning.

Because East Germany never stayed for long under Soviet occupation, it still retains a sizable Protestant population.
