Your states wartime propeganda

[OMGeverynameistaken]

I've only been at war once so far, with my good ol' buddy Steppe, so he'll have to forgive me for making him the subject of my propaganda posters so far. Here are a few samplings of fine Russian art from the Hyperborian War, as well as a few general anti-communist posters put together for recruiting purposes. Most are variations on old, popular, themes
All of these were done in MSpaint, so please forgive the quality.

For further clarification, I play an FT Russian Empire set in a history where the Russian Revolution failed. Communism is our favorite Bogeyman




Always a popular theme. It was quite hard to locate this picture.













And, for your amusement, a little news article about the Hyperborian Communist Scum:

Victory!
Hyperborians Driven Back Once More!
Russian Fleet Victorious at Ranvilla
Numerous Hyperborian Vessels Destroyed
Report From the Front!

A. Shuvalov - Just two hours ago Admiral Anjou, leader of the Combined Russian Liberation Fleet, has sent word to St. Petersburg of victory at the planet of Ranvilla, where the Hyperborian Foe put up fierce resistance. This conflicted with their behavior at Gendo, which has led experts to believe that the Hyperborians are, as a whole, a divided race, much along the lines of old fuedal states. This would, of course, conform to the bestial reputation the Pirate Empire has gained, and, of course, absolutely confirms the reports recieved of Recidivist Communist activities taking place within the Khannate.

Hyperborians (Artists Rendering)

The battle itself was hard fought. While the initial landing of Russian forces was uncontested, a Hyperborian fleet soon showed itself, eager for the blood of our brave soldiers. The sudden attack was dealt with, however, but as the Hyperborians had brought significantly more ships than our beloved Tsar's fleet, a tactical withdraw was required, the fleet having expended much of its ammunition already on bombardment of the Hyperborian planetside base. Still, the Admiral reports that the Russian fleet gave far better than it got, and numerous enemy vessels were destroyed to a minimal loss on the Russian side, he personally estimates that upwards of fifty Hyperborian capital class vessels were destroyed or crippled, whereas the Russian fleet lost a mere four cruisers, although it is estimated that three others will be in dock for repairs for the remainder of the year.

Russian soldiers rest after the battle.

After the retreats, reports from General Jacob Bruce, commander of the ground forces, indicated that the Hyperborians displayed some cowardice and general ineptitude, initially attempting to align their fleet for a bombardment of the planets surface, and the brave Russian soldiers awaiting the return of the fleet. Through incompetence or the Will of God, or perhaps some combination of the two, the Hyperborians proved unable to do so and determined to make good their retreat from the system before the fleet returned in force.

Admiral Pyotr Anjou, Commander of the Combined Fleet

Typical of Hyperborian cowardice, the retreating enemy fired upon their own crippled ships. As witnesses to the battle describe no escape pods being launched, it has been concluded that the Hyperborians are sub-human on more than the physical level, lacking even the most basic senses of morality required to save their own comrades from a sinking ship, so to speak. Both Admiral Anjou and General Bruce report that, when attempting to communicate with the Hyperborian admiral they were either ignored or insulted.

A Traditional Hyperborian Dinner Ritual

Russian scientists have made some study of recovered corpses of Hyperborian soldiers from the aftermath of these battles and come to a number of startling conclusions. Based on scientific methods, Hyperborian child-cannibalism as part of ritual Communist bonding ceremonies has been confirmed to take place on all Hyperborian worlds, indeed, the practice is so common that Hyperborian food stores sell home child-basting kits...

"The Enemy sees your lights! Make it dark!"

A poster expressing the wisdom of turning all lights at night, to confuse the enemy when they are trying to bomb a city.



An old poster dating back to the 1900's, and is still in use today.

[The Grand World Order]

Just a few examples.

Posters often feature a masked GWO soldier holding a GWO flag while his foot holds some enemy soldier's face to a curb, presumably before smashing said enemy's head against the ground.

[Israslovakahzerbajan]

Yeah, give posters of communist catgirls(they're not furries)in skimpy clothing to soldiers that passed high school, it won't backfire at all...

[United Nukia]

We simply draft if we need troops.

That's where the Xeno Anatomy Classes come in. Did you know a Hyperborian female has upwards of twelve tentacles?

[The Grand World Order]

Contrary to popular Belief Communists are NOT Human. Communists are soulless monsters, infected with a dangerous parasitic organism known as communus vermicularis, or Marx Worms. Once infected, these tapeworms feed upon its victims brain, and replace it with concentrated evil. Communists do not have intelligence, having no minds of their own but are instead controlled by a interspecies Hivemind, administerated by YAR-AVRATHOHAM. So remember good citizens of the Empire, when you look face to face with the Red Menace, as you stare into his soulless eyes, and hungering maw, ask yourselves "How many babies did he eat today?", and let him have it!

Do they also have severe knurling/spikes in their "holes"?

[Human Liberation Army]

Basically like this, except the German is replaced with a Lizard holding a pistol and is bearing his teeth, and the guy on the right looks more like Master Chief from Halo, and on the bottom it says "Halt the Lizard Menace! Join the HLA today, and drive the miserable Reptiles back to their nests!"

Likewise. We also have a steadily diminishing population of pure-blooded Humans. They claim it's because we breed like rabbits when they're feeling polite, and like rats when they have a desire to be mean. Either way, we're not sure what they're on about.

For propaganda, it depends on the enemy we are facing, but it always hails the virtues of the Republican system and ideals by which we live.

Actually we just colonized and "inegrated" with them, oh and HLA are you having pest problems?

Sorta, we are struggling against a tyrannical Reptilian nation that has an almost Nazi-like policy of Reptiles being the master race. Though we haven't had any conflicts with them in ten years.

[Israslovakahzerbajan]

Am I detecting a V refference, Human Liberation Army?

[Voliota]

a propaganda poster during the "Voliotan military conflict in which a Voliotan cargo ship was sunk by an American submarine which sparked a air raid on new york and several attempted coastal attacks on Voliota it was resolved when an English submarine captain came forward and declared that he ordered his submarine to attack the ship.

Same with us, we use only recruitment posters.

I didn't think it would be V reference when I created the HLA, I just made them an underground resistance force that is fighting against Saurisia, one of my other nations.

EDIT: this one might need some context viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20007

[Vetalia]

I don't have the time to make them, but Vetalian military propaganda generally involves protecting the motherland and its vast wealth from invaders. A classic poster would be the skyline of Vetalia City (bedecked with tower cranes and construction sites to evoke fond thoughts of rapid economic growth) with various branches of the Vetalian military (especially the navy) posed in front of it in intimidating fashion and inspiring slogans to encourage any number of war-related activities.

Either that or the even more threatening posters of Vetalian scientists brewing up biological weaponry for use on our enemies, with the slogans basically amounting to "give us the time to find ways to exterminate our enemies". Again, these typically involve various symbols of economic growth (especially the Vetalian favorite, tower cranes and scaffolding) albeit carefully montaged with stylized artwork of viruses and bacteria to show those organisms as fellow defenders of Vetalian values. These are arguably the most beautiful and most frightening Vetalian propaganda posters, and they are carefully designed to let enemies know just what our most powerful weapons are.

Vetalians make shitty soliders...unless the enemy lands on Vetalian soil or our brother nations, all bets are off. Our people are so insanely vicious about defending our soil that they would unleash something feral and primitive, willing to sacrifice anything to drive the filthy invaders out of our country. This is partially why even remotely joking about the destruction of British Londinum triggers a brutal reaction from any Vetalian citizen in the room...
