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

[Toraia]

well on em. sports are important in any country's development (expectably when they got something to brag)

project new blood is said to increase combat effectiveness by 45%

Well, good luck then. Fight with all yer might.

There exists a stereotype in foreign media that Toraians love peaches, which is probably because peach pie is such a popular dessert in the nation. Incidentally, the current PM of Toraia hates the fruit with a passion. She finds the stereotype rather annoying.

[Zitravgrad]

But peach is great... Whyyyyyyy?

I rerun this because I was skipped and frankly because I can.

(If you are familiar with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S. games, you will get this one.) Wasteland stalking is pretty much a hobby of the more adventurous Zitravgradians. The activity itself is not illegal, but highly regulated by the state with a list of safety control rules.

As you might see in the map, there are three levels in the wasteland zones. The so-called "paper check" will start at the edges of the orange zones, where things are obviously going a little pizdec strange. They check your hunting permit, your gun license, your radiation protection, your vehicle and license (if you have one), inform you about the rules and the laws of the zones, and sometimes sell you maps, tools and supplies. The authority limits your access to the wasteland zones to the maximum of three days and three nights. The wasteland guards, who seem to be equally adventurous, also work as a sort of lawkeepers within the zones -- almost a state within a state.

For some, it is a thrill-seeking adventure. Even tourists can buy these permits, at a slightly higher price than locals. But for some, it is a career. Ministry of Science, Technology and Education (and even some other people) will buy any sort of lifeforms caught in the zones. (There is a limit on hunting to "as much as one can carry" which apparently does not exceed 200kg.) But what of the red zones? Well, it is filled with "anomalies" and pretty much left untouched by the state, except for a few air-based surveys. While it is technically illegal to enter, it is hard to detect...

[A m e n r i a]

Sounds fun, though if you say as much as you can carry, you should mean it (I mean, Cheonsa can lift a tank, so...)

Amenria is an advocate of sentient rights, rejecting the Vatican's prosecution of vampires amd werewolves.

[Govetia]

Well, why would the Vatican care in the first place?

Because of harsh winters in Govetia, cattle can't survive in the cold, so people resort to deer or elk for work, food and sometimes even companion animals.

"Well,over here the most used companion animal in rural areas are mostly dogs,while in the cities they are cats,foxes are a rarer issue though ...."-King Adit

In Bengal,it's a common belief that foxes are divine beings and can communicate with the Shinto gods.It's also a common belief that foxes can change their appearance at will,and that foxes are divine messengers of the Inari-okami,Shinto goddess of harvest and luck....

[Mugledome]

Basically Bangladesh is married with Japan.

According to a local legend, the king's brother, Zym, out of jealousy for his power, sailed to a small deserted island, trying to make his own kingdom, but failed. He then tried to kidnap king Mym with help of his henchmen, and managed to rule for only 5 hours, because that night a great rescue mission was dispatched to rescue the king. Zym's henchmen were re-educated, and Zym remained on the island for 7 years before dying of hunger at age 38.

[The Atlantean Islands]

Was Zym starved to death? If not, how did Zym starve?

Auxiliary General Matyus "Mats" Mizrachi, Royal Atlantean Gendarmerie, was the previous commander of the Royal Guard branch of the Royal Atlantean Gendarmerie. When he died on 21 June 2015, he was succeeded by then Brigadier (now Auxiliary General) Daniel Mizrachi. Daniel, despite sharing the surname of Mizrachi, is, in no way, related to his predecessor, just as how Indira Gandhi was, in no way, related to Mahatma Gandhi. Also, Mizrachi isn't even a common surname in Atlantis.

[Sarcana]

What a strange but intriguing coincidence.

Many Sarcanans admire the ancient civilisations of Babylon, Assyria and Sumer - far more than the contemporary Syriac-Arabian state found there today.

[Allied Iran]

Meh. The ancient civilizations of Miyan-do-rud (Persian for Mesopotamia) are really nothing impressive in my opinion. But to each their own

Iran has had one of the longest continuous Empires in Human History, and in its prime, one of the ten biggest too.

Despite now having a population of nearly fifty million, the fact that Vistora has, for most of its (Triumverse) history, been a city-state, and remains a massive contiguous urban agglomeration, means that the formal title of its leader, Shahrthar, translates to "mayor"

OOC-ly speaking, Holly was based on the concept that "You cannot imagine a new face that you have never seen before." So IRL, if you draw some face, chances are good that you have seen them somewhere before in some point of time. It also gives Holly a mysterious feel, with no one being able to portray her correctly except herself. IF she wants to, she could draw it on a piece of paper easily, but nope, Holly says, "It's an exercise left for the observer".

No face doesn't mean that she looks like slenderwoman, mind you. Just obscured.

[Fox Shogunate]

Well, whatever you say. Agree with the first part, though.

Although all states are republics, in some of them, there are still laws, which are similar to lèse-majesté law. Those kinds of laws are the most popular in authoritarian countries, but there are plenty of democratic countries, where those laws are also in place too.

[Arbeitersreich]

Ew.
Republics have no reason for lèse-majesté other than a whelp of a leader.

It’s common practice to retrofit existing structures to new purposes instead of demolition and building on the ruins.
For example, following our revolution, any property of a noble, bourgeois or royal was turned into something more useful like a school, hospital or something similar.

[Mugledome]

That's nice! For example, in Mugledome there is an old castle once inhabited by nobility, that is now a multi-purpose building that also houses the winter home for the high-rank Keepers.

Mugles are vegetarian, and the only animal products they're allowed to eat are milk, honey and some seafood; in fact, Mugles believe that one shall not kill a creature that can feel pain (including fish) or have a brain, something that clams lack.

[Bengal and Assam]

Cool,teach that to the people who follow religions that encourage ritual sacrifice of animals...

In Bengal,police officers are allowed to search houses and buildings without any written warrant or permit.But the occupants of the house/building have to be on the list of suspects or victims of any ongoing cases filed to the National Police Agency....

Well, that's not very fair.

Queen Rebekah has a reputation for bucking tradition of the Haschirite royal family. She proved that a while ago by insisting on adopting children instead of having biological kids (couldn’t blame her, really, she’s asexual.) And now she upset tradition again by ignoring the “rule” that Haschirite royals should only seek other nobility as spouses. She’s currently dating the former prime minister of Toraia (an ally of Haschiri), Yascho Jairo.
Her parents took this surprisingly well, figuring that someone who was elected instead of born into power was better than a nobody, although they still think that Yascho is sort of doofy.

[The Great-German Empire]

Much of a monarch's duty to the people is upholding traditions. In rejecting them, Rebekah is rejecting that duty. I swear, monarchs on NS behave like celebrities - except with governing power ranging from significant to absolute. It's like what would happen if that idiot Maher became King of a country.

The Germans weren't the first in Europe to adopt monorail technology, with the Russians having taken it on earlier to modernize the Transsiberian Railway (and spending a gargantuan amount in the process), but today such lines connect all the major transport hubs in Germany and in fact all of Europe. Britain in our world isn't part of any European agreement, but even the Channel Tunnel has been switched to monorail. And Germany manufactures all the trains for it, as it should be.

[Oncolithia]

The Russians in your timeline are actually decent people.

During the Protestant Reformation in our timeline, the Eastern Orthodox church actually sided with the Protestants to increase the Orthodox influence throughout Europe. Because of this, many Protestant missionaries from Austria, France and England come to Southern Europe because of the Church's constantly decreasing influence there. Today, 57% of Hellenes identify as Protestant because of missionary activity for the past 450 years.

[Fox Shogunate]

So, way less Orthodox influence in Greece? Interesting.

Although dum dum bullets are banned in most of countries, some countries still do use them, and Shogunate is one of them. There have been heated discussions about their use, however, and 67% of citizens in survey have said, that they "want to ban dum dum bullets from army, and allow them to be used only for a few police units".

[Palmyrion]

On the contrast, Palmyrians have no qualms using dum-dum bullets. Though, the Civil Defense Force, our nation's own internal security paramilitary police force, likes their bullets highly lethal.

Urban legends and conspiracy theories abound in Palmyrion and her close allies about a joint Task Force between the Healthcare and ICT departments tasked with spamming alternative healthcare woo pages with comments calling the woomeisters out on their bullshit.

[Mugledome]

Meh, let them what they want to do.

The Sea of Aura is enclosed by a 100-mile long, 2 feet high wall of coral,that prevents any ship from going too far out in the ocean or in the territory of Mugledome.

[Swindenland]

What an excellent type of natural protection. However, it could become more demanding in the modern days, because it can hinder international trade and effectively cut this sea off international connections.

Muslims in Swindenland are highly liberal. One Imam, the Imam of a very liberal mosque in Asperia is even bisexual.

[Arbeitersreich]

That’s an incredible development. I can’t see that imam being very popular, however.

It’s compulsory for direct descendents of the first Hauptarbeiter to be trained in multiple martial arts, with a focus on Arbeiter-developed martial arts. Most of these are made to neutralise or kill.
