What? I don't get your reference.


Knessians have a tradition where the father passes an item to the eldest son when the son reaches adulthood. This depends on class, occupation, and other such statistics.

For example, a plantation overseer may give his whip to his son, while a noble would likely give a dress sword or painting of the family arms. In poorer families, it may be implements of the trade in which the father has taught his son, such as a hammer or pitchfork.

Knessiet: That's a sweet little tradition, minus the slavery and all that. What would a soldier pass on?

Skipping AN, since they didn't present a fact



The planet has a warlord problem. There's an entire continent just covered in warlord cliques, the biggest being the Habsburg Clique. As the name suggests, the Habsburg Clique is in fact headed by a branch of the one and only Habsburg family. The warlord clique has a bad reputation, as it's known for its usage of child soldiers. One of these child soldiers, Hungarian-descended Lou Vadas (codename Grenzer), is known for his proficient usage of his plasma machine gun.
An ex-Terran colony made independent then shattered by civil war long ago. A planet of misery and suffering, with unbelievable levels of corruption, warlords and military juntas, exploitation, poverty, and general inhumanity.

"Warlords are the scum of this wasteland, they actively hinder our progress to rebuild society. Hearing them have child soldiers, while not a surprise, makes me hate them even more."-Lady Annebelle, leader of "The Resistence" and "Camp Delta"


Jonah St. Claire, the man responsible for the creation of Mercurius A-54 which had brought about a nuclear apocalpse, had created a second AI that he designed to look like his deceased daughter who died of leukemia at age 23. He named it A.L.I.E 2.0, as in the "second generation of ArtificiaL IntelligencE". The main difference between ALIE and Mercurius was that ALIE had better understanding of humanity and compassion as opposed to Mercurius who was simply a computer in a "human body".

Fairly standard practice for marine nations, like England and Portugal. Most likely a powerful navy comes with this as well.

The most recent purge of undesirables targeted pseudoscientific bellievers, homeopaths, flat earthers and the like. The government appeared to extend an olive branch to draw them out and many secret societies and cults tentatively revealed themselves. Over the course of a few months, the intelligence service mapped out over 150 clubs and sects, totalling over 50,000 members, with a similar amount being implicated individually.

Any ranked members, and other influencers were outright executed (12,000 killed) with the rest sent to gulags and reeducation facilities. The process took 8 months in total, but rumour has it that intelligence is slowly piecing a new list of such people together...

How extreme of you. If you need to have purges, it's good sign it's a failing in your government.

Unlike several other space faring nations, we don't have a prime directive or similar law. That should be quite obvious from how many legends, cults, and religions we accidentally started on primitive planets.

whoa whoa calm down u're getting op now


The Widowmaker's Lair is a depressing name given to a region comprised of 20 of Palmyrion's northernmost provinces. War has raged on the region since 500BCE, and no lesser than 5-10 conflicts have taken place in the region, killing upwards of 500 million over the last 2,500 years.

Ending the violence in the region and jumpstarting robust economic activity and social development in the area, among others, is perhaps the present Lakán's biggest promise ever since he stepped up to the throne after his father's retirement on 2016, which perhaps partially explains the planned incremental year-by-year increase in the budgets of the Armed Forces of Palmyrion (the Royal Commonwealth's main military force) and the Civil Defense Force (a gendarmerie force that serves as a paramilitary internal security and law enforcement unit; closest Palmyrion has to a police force).

That is quite strange and morbid. It’s good to see times have changed.


One of the banned and defunct political parties that once existed in Normundic politics was the White Brotherhood. It was made up solely by Caucasions and had a neonazi platform.
The party was banned and its leadership arrested in 1987 after members of the party bombed an Afro-Normundic church organisation, killing dozens and injuring many more.

The first three Dunkleosteus-class quick-deployment missile submarines were constructed in 2016, but it is interesting to note that these submarine's designs are not native to Dequarmi, but instead brought by Maxtopian refugees fleeing from the Maxtopian Revolution.

It might be more efficient in the sense of the children having more free time. However, it would require more rules to ensure two of the three language families are chosen (Icelandic and Faroese are in the same family, while Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are in the same family). The idea is to have people be able to communicate with each other without having to resort to English; since languages in the same family are mutually intelligible, everyone knowing at least one language from two different families ensures that any two people have at least one language they can converse in. It has also been shown that being at least bilingual from a young age greatly facilitates the later acquisition of new languages if that is what a person desires. It would be possible to achieve all of this with only two languages by enforcing stricter rules on language selection (only one from each family), but we believe offering three languages reinforces the language-learning facilitation and reduces the number of necessary language selection rules to one.

It is sad that nations are still using weapons instead of diplomacy to deal with each other. That said, it is interesting that refugees managed to steal a submarine (or blueprints for it).

Following the VitroGrow Act, all food is now grown in laboratories across Snofjogur as artificial tissue identical to the natural one down to the molecular level, and artificial organs are produced in labs in hospitals when needed. This has voided the need for humans to kill/capture animals or harvest plants for food, organs and experimentation. It is thus illegal to harm or kill any animal in any way in Snofjogur. This has helped protect the species native to Snofjogur and its waters, many of which are endangered due to overhunting or climate change.

I wonder how that affects the price. While raising livestock is expensive, technology can be even more so.


Knessians are very hospitable people. When traveling, it is common for a traveler to stay at a stranger's home in rural areas, as inns and hotels are often only in cities. This doesn't actually result in crime, as it is considered a social duty to give a traveler rest for a night, and a meal. This should be taken in the context of Knessniet, where social customs are far different from most other places.

AN: *grabs popcorn and diet pepsi* Go ahead.


Diplomatic gifting is important. It gives a strong political implication about your nation's culture, your administration's character, your relationship with the recipient's nation, and lastly your own message to them. My universe, as some may know, is filled with nations of post-modern technology but have their mentality stuck from 1850s to 1950s. Diplomatic gifts define the prestige of the givers and their well-wishes to their recipients, but sometimes becomes an art of subtle intimidation or condescension.

In a blatant and tasteless fashion, the Kozavian Imperial Court and the Zitravgradian Politburo keep giving each other jewelry, swords and other decorations encrusted with below-average-grade diamonds on 12 January (Kozav Rus Day) and 28 December (Zitravgradian Independence Day). But why diamonds? These diamonds are mined from the Ukaral, the mountain range that divides both nations. Basically, they keep exchanging diamonds mined from their own side of the mountain range, knowing too well it is cheaper than market price.

These gifts serve to normalize the relations between both nations in the eyes of the international community. It is meant to be symbolic and sent on yearly basis, so it has to look good but does not break the bank.

Why is this Sarah not wearing a hijab? Perhaps my mujahideen will have to finish the job that Mr. House started with Vault 22.

The Zakat-free zones in Kabul, Lashkar Gah and Ghazni City are growing rapidly, allowing the Afghan economy to recover from decades of war. The leading industry is auto manufacturing. A Zakat-free zone is similar to what is called a "free economic zone" in some foreign nations.

The last thing a criminal and a terrorist should have is more money and power.


In recent years, the majority of marriages and children born from said marriages are multiracial. More advertisements are displaying interracial/multiracial couples as well, and experts expect that the country will become majority multiracial in the next two decades.
