Does your nation have any hi-tech inventions?

Dragon Works is an official alias for the Strategic Technology Development Unit of the Zhouranese People's Army. Dragon Works is responsible for the development of several classified weapons, as well as hi-tech devices for military use.

As of January 1, 2020, one of the greatest achievements made by Dragon Works is the East Wind Space Elevator, which is located 35 km east of Ningjing Province. Construction of the space elevator started on February 12, 2015 and finished on November 12, 2019. Zhouran became the first nation to build a space elevator. As of January 1, 2020, the space elevator is used for resupplying Zhouran's space stations and spacecrafts. The East Wind Space Elevator is a heavily guarded place.

Another great invention, also made by Dragon Works, is the Type 17 stealth armor, which is highly classified. The suit uses an electron beam generator to create a cloud of ionization around the user. Around the armor are panels or advance, classified coatings capable of changing color or luminosity. It is used by Crimson Shadow.

In PT, our nation was one of the most powerful and advanced in New Odessa. As a result, we then had many technological edges over the other nations.

Bronze casting technology was perfected in Themiclesia by the 22nd Century B.C., and since that time until the beginning of the common era, our armies have been the most effective fighting force, being mounted on 2 or 4 horse chariots and equipped with specialized weaponry and schooled with advance strategy.

Steel forging technology was brought by the Hetalia Nordics to Themiclesia in the 9th Century B.C., who invaded Themiclesia in 883 B.C. Their forces, however brave and gallant, were not equals to our chariot armies, even though the Nordics had steel weapons whilst we used bronze. From then on, steel weaponry have gradually replaced bronze swords, and permeated from the lower ranks upwards. Bronze has a cultural value to Themiclesia, and the most expensive weapons are always made of good bronze. Into the common era, bronze was basically purged from the typical armoury, but remained the material of choice when it came to making a commemorative weapon or something like that.

the EMERGENCY graviton manipulator weapon can destroy small planets!

The Office of Science and Magic. Enough. Said.

We have successfully made a kind of fabric. A fabric that is strong, but feels soft, and when broken, it regenerates molecules instantly. We might use this cloth when we go to war, besides, our military troops will look a lot more stylish.

With the collaboration of Apple Inc., the Euthenians and the Americans have successfully made iPhone 6, which is a transparent one, though we all reverted back to the good ol' days...



Also, we've developed a similar phone, which is the PomeGranaTe Phone.

Science and engineering are not real big in Postapocolypta. What they lack in high-tech, they more than makeup in modifying and "hacking" (in the original, non-computer sense).

Oh so YOU'RE the guy responsible for flooding our markets with cheap Apple garbage! We built a special kind of gun that, when its bullets hit an Apple product, will cause the target to explode into the shape of an Apple core, representing what we think Apple products are. Garbage.

I'm sorry, that was a bit harsh. The cloth idea is actually cool, but Apple.... I have poor feelings for them.

Anarchy seems a lot more fun now.

The whole of Goeiehoopland is celebrating a Nobel-nominated discovery made by the physics department of the University of Kaapstad, which has successfully found a wrong way to eat a Reese's.

The Union is well known as a technological powerhouse within the Nordic Lands, having developed numerous robots and beginning to enter space.

The Defwaen Federation is a (MT) leader in the development of semi autonomous drone weapon technology.
In the skies, on the seas, and on the ground.

We're 10 years behind on almost everything else.

We have many achievements but I would say that our top three would be.

We have the Cato-Nakakara Jump Drive for interstellar travel.

The Fukagara Energy Shield that protects our ships from damage from micrometeor damage at high speed conventional drive damage (and weapons fire as well)

And our crowning achievement is the Genetically Engineered Mutants (GEMs) that make up the bulk of our population.

We have made numerous advances in the fields of FTL interstellar travel, genetic manipulation and human cloning, cheap energy in the form of first nuclear fusion and then AM power, vertical agriculture and the subsequent huge food surpluses, and so on.

We have numerous technologies one might consider very advanced, but here are the top three.

O.M.N.I. Optic Mesh Neuron Interface. This is a network of implants that allow a user to interface with the NeuroNet and transfer their minds onto new hardware.

Nanofoundries: These are the evolution of the 3D printers of old. As long as they are supplied the right materials, they can produce any inorganic and heat resistant device you need. The only things they can't make are better nanofoundries, for obvious reasons.

Mesh Network: This is a computer network that operates without need for wiring. All data and energy is transferred through wireless means. This network makes u our entire NeuroNet and allows for large intellects such as A.R.C.H.E.N.G.E.L. to maximize processing power.

The interuniversal portal, allowing for trade and contact across multiple locations and planes of existence.

An older yet no less innovative invention is the crystallomatrix, allowing for instant contact and access of information across the world.

Perhaps the greatest invention to come out of Teritora was the the Gersta Drive which forms an subspace bubble around the vessel causing it to enter an subspace called Gersta space. The Coorinates have to entered correctly and be accurate otherwise one could come out in the heart of an sun, in the middle of an astriod field or other unpleanant to deadly locations or end up so far off course the vessel may never find its way back. Exploration an Gersta drive is extremely dangerous so probes are usually used first. In Gersta space weapons such as subspace mines are an deadly threat as shields can not be rised in Gersta space so ships generally have gunners trained to handle not just star fighters but space and subspace mines as well.

The second greatest is the metal Gerixi, a extremely strong and light weight metal that is 20 times stronger and tougher than steel and can take much greater stress. It is used in Teritoran and Tordoran style Star ships as well in Teritoran Power Armor deployed by Teritoran Marines and Royal Guard forces.

We have many functional high rise vertical farms. We have learned to integrate the production of biodiesel, pharmaceutical herbs and plants, shrubbery and flowers, and small livestock into vertical farms.

We have designed a more advanced form of wind turbine that combines a wind lens which controls the flow of air with advanced low temperature superconducting coils. This allows us to produce a turbine with 20x the capacity of a standard offshore turbine. The advanced superconducting coils have also been used to increase the power output of wave turbines, and hydroelectric power.

We have also designed a new type of airship, that uses electric superconducting jet engines. The jet engines are fed power from a layer of advanced thin film solar cells on the top of the airship. The airship is designed to fly in the slipstream, which allows the airship to travel long distances, the combined technologies allow for a very long range heavy lift airship.

There is a version of this airship which can be brought to high altitudes and launch a rocket into space. The rocket often carries a special eight sided tubular construct that is designed to release packages of microsatellites. It also is often used to launch automated transhab inflatable space station modules which can link together. There is even a human rated version of the rocket which can carry four passengers.

We have designed an advanced UAV blimp system for small unmanned high altitude airships. These UAVs carry an instrument package which allows the airships to share radar, function as high altitude internet broadcast stations, provide climate monitoring, as well as surveillance equipment. These airships have optional military ABM capability with a box package of six missiles.

For military purposes we have designed an advanced double barreled railgun artillery system designed to fire shells closely spaced together so they are harder to defeat.

There are quite a few other inventions which are applicable to nationstates.

A lot of this is PMT technology which can be made now but will not be available until 2025-2035.

Technology? Dragons inventing things? Now you've actually got me thinking.
We don't make our own things, as per sae. Not too often, anyhow. We mostly take from others and add it to our little personal hoards of treasure.

Since this is 'Your nation's', I can't exactly write off our plundered loot as being our own, but we do have something.
We have Psi Energy to talk about, and how we harness it as a weapon, by exploiting the natural Psi Energy given off by the conscious being because of our planet's noosphere. To elaborate would require a bit of an essay, so I'll cut it short by saying that it's more or less the only productive thing we've done for ourselves.
