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

[Hazukenia]

What's with Disney princesses AND Kilala Princess in your country?

Hazukenia is NOT a signatory to ANY major treaty. Why? As Hazuken puts it "I'm not going to be bound by your rules. I'm the ruler of the nation, I write my own constitution and I make up the rules as the world evolves!". Because of this, Hazuken is seen as above the law.

Seems like their leader is a child

We had our first and only homosexual (Vice) Chairman in the years spanning from 1925 to 1928, in which he died at the age of 37. He was considered a friend of revolutionary Voslavic Laxim, and was given a great deal of respect for his service in the Wawakanise Civil War.

[Kyneland]

Glad to see his sexuality didn’t matter in terms of respect given to him.

---

On the topic of homosexuality, it and lesbianism has been mostly accepted throughout Kyneland’s history. It was considered to be a great thing for warriors in the past, as it further bonded them to each other. Shield-sisters and shield-brothers whom had homosexual partners were believed to be especially formidable in combat when fighting together.
Homosexual couples also helped with the problem of orphaned children.

The only real hatred and dislike of these sexualities came with Christianity, which barely caught on with the anti-Christian natives.

What's with Disney princesses AND Kilala Princess in your country?

It's only in the town of Kilala, Sena province.

[Koninginnenstad]

It's pretty unique on how homosexuality is seen as part of culture and tradition.

Rock & roll in our timeline originated from jazz and ragtime music with small bits of African gospel music during the late 1940s. But because of the rise of racism during the 1930s, musicians tried to decrease the amount of African influence in rock music. Nevertheless, famous Afro-American pioneers on rock & roll including Chuck Berry and Little Richard helped popularize the hybrid of black gospel and rock music. Infact, ragtime and jazz were actually popularized by Afro-Americans in the Haarlem neighbourhood.

HE'S 82 3/4!

EDITED BECAUSE I FORGOT TO ADD THE /SKIP FUNCTION:

Wonder how the evolution of pop music went from there...

[The Western Roman Republic]

The extensive list of banned things in this nation and the fact-book created explaining it boggles the mind

Umm, you weren't supposed to respond to the AN because his post is counted as a skip.

Great to know, and Rock n' roll still remains unbeaten (At least in my head LOL)

The Palmont Police Department is one of the few law enforcement agencies in North America to have never operated the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, mainly because the Palmont Motor Company offered the way cheaper Civic Cruiser; discontinued in 2016, offered the same kind of reliability and power found in the Crown Vic and was manufactured locally, which allowed the local auto industry to have an incentive to work, because if no civilian wanted their cars, they knew the local police would buy the cars by the truckload and save them from losing money.

[Galaxy Land]

Ok

The longest recorded flight of a helicopter in Galaxy Land belongs to the Hanger-888, who traveled to Japan then returned to Galaxy Land safely

[Tonavany]

That must be a bloody marvellous piece of engineering then. Good on you.

The Premier, Soteine, is 6’2”. Coupled with her visible muscles and abs, she can be fairly intimidating from looks alone.

[Rejistania]

Interesting. She'd tower over any current member of the Kenlentine Mje'het. But using Imperial units is just uncute.

It is not allowed to discriminate in Rejistania in employment related matters based on which soccer club you are affiliated with as this can be seen as a religious or ethnic proxy attribute (Ehila~o for example tend to be fans of Sen-La-Sa~o Relekhati while Majuvedans prefer to flock to Desnike Veran).

Oh, I remember that I got fired from a job at a fast food place themed after Real Madrid because I dissed Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, I guess that's f***ing great.

Doing this one again because 'OK' isn't an acceptable answer to me:

You actually worked at a Real Madrid themed food outlet? Wonder what was the punishment for openly supporting Barca or Atleti…

Makes a lot of sense for a city with a people for a thing for racing, I guess it probably spares automobile manufacturers the work of making new police cars. (Honestly, I really like your nation, considering you just gave me a nostalgia wave of all the fun I had playing Carbon years ago.)

Speaking of street racing, it is a highly-favored pastime among Ythijen. Despite our ability to create flying cars and such, wheeled vehicles are still produced for their use on certain eccentric racing tracks (often taking place on other worlds). They were originally used to test various experimental nitrous fuels, by the government devised a way to attract aspiring racers from across Andromeda by holding championships.

[The Rapture Republic]

That’s interesting.

---

The Rapture Republic is notorious for its inhumane and needlessly cruel termination of criminals on death-row. One of these executions, used chimera worms, which crawl into the flesh of the condemned felon and slowly eat the victim from the inside out, lasting for 27 hours before the victim died. Also, chimera worms have created ‘mobile hives’ out of the victim’s body, when they are forced to consume them, these ‘mobile” hives are frozen in massive vaults for future military operations, when they are thrawed they are deployed in highly populated urban areas, to spread the colony to other living organisms, preferably humans, at the same speed of a zombie breakout in resident evil to annihilate enemy countries.

[Kyneland]

Disgusting.
Such a degenerate civilisation deserves nothing more than complete destruction.

---

Kynelanders, despite their soft xenophobia, are frequently sino- and Japanophiles.

[Frievolk]

Meh. I honestly don't see the appeal in Japanese, or Chinese, cultures tbh.

Due to the fact that the "New Roman Empire" was the entity that started the second Weltkrig. Following the Cold War, both sides alternatively began running a massive anti-Roman propaganda campaign (The Warsaw Pact concentrating more on the Imperialism and colonialism, comparing them to the NATO; and the NATO concentrating on the slavery and brutal murders, comparing them to the USSR.) The result is that the Roman Empire, Byzantium, and even the Latin Language itself, are disliked by almost everyone in the Prime-world (I mean my own universe, not the Region).

[The Great-German Empire]

Oof. But wouldn't that cause problems for speakers of Latin-derived languages?

---

Britain in our world is not considered part of Europe. After Germany had completed its massive continental bloc in the wake of the Second Great War, Britain refused any invitations to enter it; Instead, it had focused on its own large colonial empire, consolidating the English-speaking parts and then some into the Imperial Federation. Therefore, Britain is an 'Oceanic' power, belonging to no continent. Nonetheless, they have re-initiated relations with Europe after their alliance with Japan proved too weak to match the United States.

[East Angria]

That's weird considering how close it is to the European continent. Did you ever build that channel tunnel in your timeline?

---

Great Britain is forced to hold diplomatic ties to our Anarchist Commune because Kāles, where the Channel Tunnel ends, is part of it. There are plans to expand our vacuum tube train network through the tunnel, but it's proving a bureaucratic nightmare on the British side.

[Zitravgrad]

How long is this thing going to take? When something is defined as bureaucratic mess, it tends to last forever.

(More like an OOC fact.)

Gaia and its solar system draw some similarity to real-life world, but Gaians (this includes most of my puppets) are a slightly different race from us, even if they define themselves as humans of their own world. They have slightly higher intelligence, but also prone to much higher aggression and competition. This might or might not translate into war and violence, which might explain anachronistic technological advancements, rapid and aggressive imperialism and frequency of potentially world-ending wars.

Their social culture might seem progressive in some fields, but overall old-fashioned. They might have accepted such things as universal suffrage, gender equality and same-sex marriage. But these people still fall under influence of monarchy and religions, as well as strict social norms. Art, music and literature go slow (though not completely frozen in time).

In physical aspect, Gaians (and pretty much most animals on this planet) are more vulnerable when it comes to abstract sickness (especially but not limited to psychological disorders) and mutation (i.e. from radiation, experiments) and can be easily deformed, on the verge of evolving into something else. This could have been explanations for mutated humans that resemble the folklore creatures like vampires, werewolves, etc.

[The Western Roman Republic]

Under miscellaneous the section about dark science and also in general the factbooks about the leaders where interesting

[Stroulia]

Well they didn't give a fact, so I can't comment

~~

Located on a small, uninhabited island just off the coast of Stroulia are various statues of different figures and many stone slabs with writing of unknown origin. Despite years of study, it's still unknown who these were created by and what their purpose was, though many theories have been put forth.

[The Atlantean Islands]

Aliens. It must be aliens. Just kidding.

Two Fredrik-class super dreadnoughts were scheduled to be scrapped upon completion of two Kastor-class battleships as a result of the London Naval Treaty, but by the time that would have happened, Atlantis has already declared war on the Axis Powers, following an attack on its overseas territory of Themyscira by Italy. As a result, the two battleships that would be scrapped were instead recommissioned into the navy, although one of them would sink in the hands of the battleship IJN Kongō later into the war, being one of only two Atlantean battleship to sink in the Second World War.

[Gandoor]

Fascinating how plans can change quickly due to unexpected events.

'Dollification', a term for various plastic surgery procedures that result in a doll-like appearance, is popular among Gandoorese women.
