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

[The English Regions]

It sounds like a proper history/background of a RL country as it takes into account real life Middle East politics and history.

The national state-owned airline "English Regions Air (ERA)" provides wi-fi and hot food on all its flights with entertainment services and business-class style seating whilst tickets are sold at economy price level due to great fuel efficiency and fuel-cell powered planes. As a result, in 10 foreign countries in the region tickets for ERA have to be sold at business class level in order to protect domestic airlines.

[A m e n r i a]

A dystopian future where Arabia is taken over by a secular government? Damn, that's scary.

AN: Cool, I wish China Eastern does that

Since it's the trend in our world to combine ancient/traditional with the current postmodern era, it's not uncommon to see Amenrian women in outfits that resemble a qipao or men wearing outfits that resemble a monk's robe.

[Sarcana]

I don’t believe that sort of clothing suits FT or PMT stuff. Early MT and PT, yeah, but otherwise it looks out of place.

In the Archonverse, the Kingdom of Iran is mainly Zoroastrian and owns Afghanistan. The Afghans are Zoroastrian as well.
Meanwhile, the Assyrians in OTL Syria and Iraq are Christian. The Levantine Republic is a mixture between the Abrahamic faiths but is mainly Jewish.
Arabia is the main Islamic state disregarding the Grand Indonesian Confederacy.

[Silver Commonwealth]

It seems, that Zoroastrians are way more united in your timeline... I like it.

Most of the SC's populace knows more than one language, and monolingual people are a rare sight. However, in most of cases, people really know only two languages- English, and their native language. This is due of SC's educational policy- only Native, and English languages are really taught into school, as most of the average citizens never leave their autonomy, or territory. And even when they do, they can always communicate with others in English.

Also, even FAE uses metrical system, because although its representative voted in favor of imperial system, rest of the region representatives voted in favor of metrical system, and FAE just had to accept the result.

[Zitravgrad]

English, and their native language

Wait, what about Brits, Americans, Australians and New Zealanders?

---

Zitravgrad has never had the positions of "Vice Chairman" or "Deputy Chairman". The Chairman has never entrusted anyone to replace him in his absence, nor has he appointed anyone as his second. However, the Chairman's Office consists of a number of advisers and secretaries, who can run things as smoothly in the Chairman's absence. Nonetheless, he has never been absence for more than a month and reportedly keeps contact with his staffs even when he is hospitalized. The First LAdy simply takes over everytime he is not around (until very recently replaced by Chief Commissar). Moreover, the pre-democracy laws actually dictate that the Advisers of the Chairman would be the one who name his successor in case of his death or resignation. It is said among the Workers' Party, that the first possible choices of the Advisers would be the First Lady, the Secretariat or the Field Marshal. (But now it's going to be an election instead.)

Well, for them, usually only English is taught in SC.

Smart move consolidating power but I don't fully agree on the method.

92 years ago the Empire once almost collapsed because the then Emperor wouldn't get out of bed for weeks, having servents bring him food and helping him with other necessities ,until his son got sick of waiting and shot him in the head, being crowned Emperor 3 days later.

[Wawakanatote]

Good, but also seems like a faulty system if that's what almost caused it to collapse.

---

The NEP (National Economic Program), originally developed by Petar Tomc, was adopted, and improved upon by Amundsven to allow the use of the market in the construction of socialism in the SUSR. His main critic was Radek Wessley who believed that the SUSR should rapidly spread socialist revolution all over the world without the use of the market system and implement a war economy. Laxim would eventually drop this policy in favor of Wessley's war economy, however changed it to incorporate Amundsvenist theory of economics.

[Crysuko]

Interesting to see how socio-economic policry dvelops

the first tank fielded by Crysuko was the Farrasin automation works type 01. essentially a shameless copy of the FT-17 except more boxy, armed with two .303 lewis guns. for the time, it was considered revolutionary, and many were built.

[Republican Russia]

Everybody's gotta start somewhere. Russia didn't have a proper indigenous tank throughout the Great War, and now they are one of the top tank countries.

---

Speaking of tanks, this Russia has less than you'd expect. See, most of the metal circulating in a theoretical Russian war economy would be expended on ships and long-range, deep-penetration fighters (Fighter-Interdictor/Истребитель-Воспретитель). The infantry would move around in light and nimble APCs and MUVs, as well as slightly heavier yet still wheeled LAVs, as all those are considered sufficient for the traditional and actual tank role - which is infantry support. Enemy tanks are supposed to be dealt with through close air support and both personal and vehicle-mounted anti-tank munitions. In fact, Russia never bothered with tank development and improvement since the Naval Revolt, and are currently less tankified than, say, Italy.

[Seikokka]

An interesting development, but at least from what I understand, tanks are still necessary in a modern combat environment for more than infantry support.

Despite Seikokka ostensibly being led by an all-powerful military dictator known as an Autarch, a kind of senate known as the "Council of the Realm" exists, which is made up of elected yet highly educated experts in various fields of employment, such as agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, etc. The Council of the Realm has the power to elect successors to the position of Autarch and shoot down the recommendation of succession from the current reigning Autarch if the one to take the reigns of state is deemed "unfit." The Council of the Realm also holds some legislative power.

[Crysuko]

seems like a recipe for trouble, too much power concentrated in one area.

The militia often uses castoffs and antiques from the military. you'll see a lot of half tracks, back mounted flamethrowers and improvised armoured cars.

[Terran Military Junta]

Interesting

The Terran Military Junta is a state in a parallel universe that exists following a German Reich victory on conquering Earth in 1955. The Military Junta is a militaristic Human-dominated governmental authority controlling Earth and surrounding space through the use of the powerful Space Fleet, officers promoted themselves by killing superiors that did not follow the rules of the government. The Junta values war, despotism and, conquest against the other sentient species of the cosmos.

I mean, Germany didn’t want to conquer the world, but I guess anything’s possible in alternate universes. A human-led space empire does sound pretty cool though.

Back in World War II, Confederate soldiers alongside the German Wehrmacht pulled a reverse D-Day on Britain, forcing them to surrender.

[Las Palmeras]

That's actually very terrible from our perspective.

---

In our world, the "Ancient Astronauts Hypothesis" people have a somewhat stronger following and consideration by part of mainstream academics because they see us -neko- as living proof of a long-lost civilization or as marooned space-aliens closely related to humanity.

[Soleos]

This could explain Japan's weird fascination with loli alien animes.

The largest religion in the Technocracy is actually Irreligion (Atheism, Agnosticism) with Hinduism being the 2nd largest. Reason being that during the Great Calamity (or some would call it "World War III") most of the world's Christian and Muslim population sided against the Technocracy and are thus deemed "Defective" and Recycled as individuals since countries like Bangladesh, a Muslim majority country, was Technocratic and spared. The only Abrahamic faith spared is Lutheranism and Bangladeshi interpretation of Islam. This is because Nordic countries, mostly Lutheran, fought for the Technocracy and so Protestants worldwide was spared while all Muslims in Bangladesh are spared. This saw a decrease in both religion's population, skyrocketing Irreligion and Hinduism into the top 2 spots. India is a founding member state of the Technocracy before it became a global government and played a huge role in reshaping Human culture to have a strong Chinese-Indian-Nigerian-Nordic influence, with German culture (or "Wehraboos" as abusive soldiers joke when torturing right-wingers and nationalists) heavily repressed during the Reconstruction Era for being popular among cryptofascists, who stood against the Technocracy. Indigenous cultures and religions was repressed as well, especially indigenous Americans for having the same cult worship by the far left as German culture is to the far right.

[Persagonian Republic]

Seems like your technocracy is showing a bit of favoritism and not just outright purge the world from religious superstition. Just like how Hitler threw around the term "Honorary Aryan" to suit his purposes.

In our world, the Baghdad Pact still exists and runs as a military-economic pact against communist influence, somewhat. Its member states are Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and the UK with Iraq leaving after the Ba'athist took power (renaming the pact into the Ankara Pact) and Iran demanding the UK to be kicked out for what they did in 1953. Sadat's Egypt and Jordan would later join the pact around the late 70s. Our republican Iran would mostly go an independent route though and began building relations with the Soviets behind their back.

Why did Iraq leave?

In New Transeurasia's timeline, The Weimar Repulic became fascist in 1922 from the election of the German Nationalist Workers Party. In 1924, the Soviet Union fell due to the death of Lenin and Hyperinflation of the Ruble and the Second Russian Civil War started. New Transeurasia was founded in 1924. Germany Invaded from the Baltic Coast, established the Russian State and New Transeurasia's government went into exile. Germany's plans were to invade Poland from the North, East, and West, but the Russian State fell to democratic and capitalist riots(Started by New Transeurasia) in 1929, which started the Third Russian Civil War. New Transeruasia came to power and took over the former Soviet union in 1930. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, New Transeurasia began conscripting soldiers. In 1941, when Germany invaded New Transeurasia, there was instant retaliation that slowed the German forces. New Transeurasia began to win the Eastern Front in 1943 at the battles of Žytomyr and Minsk. In 1945, New Transeurasian forces captured Berlin. After the war, New Transeurasia claimed all of Eastern Europe, and originally, some powers contested it, though they saw that for them to continue to move forward economically, they should meet New Transeurasia's demands, and they agreed that Eastern Europe and East Germany, and half of Berlin, becomes part of New Transeurasia. New Transeurasia also claimed Greece, though they insisted that Greece be independent, and New Transeurasia agreed to allow Greece to be independent.

[Silver Commonwealth]

Smells similar to WW2...

---

Despite what some might think, Commonwealth is strictly pro-Union, and it hates Confederates with a passion- although it has decentralized its control over the rest of Commonwealth States, it wants to strengthen its control in its own territory, and some of the former states have been reduced to provinces, when they were merged into new, mega-states. And those mega states don't have a big say either, and they practically are provinces as well. In fact, Confederate activity is way less prevalent than in OTL, due of common curriculum in the SC's schools.

[The Atlantean Islands]

We also supported the Union during the American Civil War.

In our timeline, the Allies won the Battle of Denmark Strait, sinking the Bismarck then and there. However, the HMS Hood still sunk, and Prinz Eugen escaped, albeit damaged. This is because three of our battleships as well as a handful of our cruisers, were there.

[Kanakenland]

I liked history in school but couldn't care less about Denmark or some guy called Eugen.


Kanaken are known to be very nice people. If you're out alone, they always approach you in groups of four or five and ask you if you have any problems

Why did Iraq leave?

Did you even read properly? Iraq left when it became Ba'athist.
AN: That's very nice. Reminds me of the people I've met in Southeast Asian countries.

Honestly, though I’m a Briton I can understand the desire to kick Zarge U.K. out for that coup. We aren’t the nicest bunch >_>

The venom of an average Voxkyn is powerful, with a single bite’s worth of dosage enough to take down 10 fully grown, adult human males.

[Marcianus]

"Welp, ain't moving there!"

Our capital, Marcianus Capitis, is based on Des Moines, Iowa, and is located in a HUGE crater.

[East Angria]

I'm not seeing the parallel to Des Moines. I wonder what life is like in an extraterrestrial megacity of 300 million.

The de facto capital of Sassony is Rūrstat, aka Ruhr City or the Pot. It's a conurbation of more than five million people which developed from a bunch of smaller cities that grew together over time. The catalyst for the area's exponential population growth were the local steel and coal deposits, which are mostly depleted by now.
