[-Terrapacis-]

The deadliest accident involving aircraft in Terrapacisian history is the 1994 crash of Terrapacis Air Flight 110. On 17 November 1994, while nearly halfway through its flight from Davidston to Newton, the Boeing 737-300 encountered severe icing conditions, which ultimately resulted in the loss of control and the aircraft crashing into a field approximately 4 kilometres to the southwest of the town of Taunton. All 57 people onboard the plane were killed in the crash.

In 1997, it was made illegal for provincial and municipal governments to charge for public toilets. Corra, being an old money city that's proud of their stuffy bourgeois reputation, circumvented this by completely privatizing its public restrooms and restroom cleaning services, and then leveling a 50% tax on the companies's revenues. For reference, its taxes on all other companies tend to be in the low-single digits.

[Termendor]

Previously, Termendor was extremely tight with few freedom but a recent coup putted a liberal government. Effort are made to liberize our nation.

There have been thought-to-be-extinct animals reported on the island - such as Opabinia Regalis, Pteranodon, Mammoths (though very small and not with so much hairs), Paleozoic (or rather now not ) underwater scorpions, and Anomalocaris, which actually went extinct around the 1200s due to being hunted by pirates.

[The Tsunterlands]

Keeping in line with its general pirate cultural theme, Rum is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the Tsunterlands.

Despite the prevalence of drinks calling themselves things like "Tsunter Rum", almost all Rum is imported in from abroad.

[Saint Neots]

Until the situation was finally stabilised a few days ago, from early 2022 until early July 2023, Saint Neots experienced many short-term governments and coups hit the country. About 30 governments have governed Saint Neots, but most only from less than one day up to one month. The current government was democratically elected after the Free Rebellion restored permanent order and permanent democracy to Saint Neots in late June - the last coup was successfully shut down in early August 2023, and full order and stable government now exists in Saint Neots.

[Exarkyon]

Exarkyon fended off two invasions from its old enemy, the Republic of Tyrios. Immediately after the second, Tyrios was unceremoniously and anticlimactically hit by a massive wave of revolutions that turned the place into essentially a copy of Exarkyon in a few weeks.

Decades of planning that had gone into contingencies to take Tyrios down went down the toilet in about a week. Some of them were quite wild as well, such as trying to bribe the Tyrian Sea Arms Corporation to refrain from updating the software on the Republic's ships.

[Sarawak Darulhana]

In the era of Sarawak before the separation, there was a competition held in a high school where they competed in mass masturbation. They had to refrain from ejaculating. If they ejaculated, they were considered losers. If they managed to refrain from ejaculating, they were the champions. This competition was once proposed to be organized at the national level but was protested by Islamic and Christian NGOs due to "immoral acts".

However, after Sarawak Darulhana was established, the indecent competition was no longer held in schools due to the Education Ordinance which once stated "School is a place to gain knowledge, but if they do indecent things and violate Eastern Civilization, they will be sentenced to 3 years in prison and receive education in Juvenile School or a fine of $70,000 and immediate suspension

[Kaliitnuunati]

Currently in Kaliitnuunati, there are more military helicopters in use then civilian helicopters. This doesn't stop at just helicopters, as most civilian airports tend to store military fighter jets due to a lack of space for extra airbases. Often times this can reach ridiculous numbers of 3 fighter jets per civilian airliner in hangars and this often means that airliner companies have to pay up to 7x the normal cost to store aircraft in Kaliitnuunati.

Did you know? Many airlocks in Venus double as deodorization chambers to scrub the rotten egg-like smell from the planet's sulfuric clouds. Even the giant airlocks you just passed by that seal the massive aerosat habitats remove the odour and freshen the habitat's atmosphere with plant smells and air from the chemical plants and farms around Valehart. For those unlucky enough to be dock staff or do deliveries daily, their clothes are often soaked in the icky odour. Even more unfortunate for them, laundry services are on a rotational basis in which each citizen gets an allotted time to wash their clothes, 'else they waste valuable water. As a result, masks are a ubiquitous sight even inside the districts - nevertheless, it is recommended as a health precaution to prevent contagions.
