Well, at least now they're not. I just hope the majority of the population aren't suffering from Sins of the Father Syndrome.



The German Air Force is big on the concept of 'interdictors' - larger, heavier fighters with a long range and bombing capabilities. Germany's technological advantage in IT allows such aircraft to utilize complex weapons systems to lock on at long distances and hardly even breaking stealth mode, allowing them to completely negate their supposed disadvantage in agility. Moreover, the effective range of such a fighter allows the ground forces to never worry about building makeshift air bases.

That is quite advanced. I like it.
The Worker’s Republic has its own calendar and dating system than all its neighbours. It is structured similarly to the DD/MM/YYYY system.
Every year is structured like this: {16 NR}. NR is “nach revolution” or “after revolution,” and the number is the number of years since the revolution ended. Days are numbered like so: {.01, .02, .03, etc.} Months are abbreviated with the first letter of their name capitalised with a lower case {z}. The {z} stands for {Zeit} or “time.”

The months are OOCly based upon the calendar used by the French republicans used between 1793 to 1805.

That is really cool. I like custom calendars.

Due to its high-latitude position in the Arctic Ocean, Snofjogur is “ice-locked”: it is completely surrounded by ice at all times of the year. Maritime trade requires icebreakers, international travel is made exclusively by air, and domestic travel is made exclusively by land.

Bonus: Snofjogurfolk dread the day the ice starts to melt in Summer and are doing everything in their power to combat global warming.

"Imperators have a long history with stairs, in that Imperators avoid them in their entirety. Through out the history of Imperators starting at the 32nd Imperator and on words, at least 1 in 5 Imperators died in part of a stair related situation. The 57th Imperator tripped on a staircase, and fell to his death, the 102nd Imperator suffered a heart attack on a staircase, 888th Imperator was shot climbing a staircase.

It's a common fact that an Imperator will take every possible way to avoid stairs like the plague. Unfortunately its always the exceptions that get them in the end."

She sounds a bit rude, even if the idea of marrying her is crazy, indeed.


Unlike as someone might expect, nazis are typically vilified in SC's world. However, it is less because of their ideology, but more because of their defeat in WW2, where Russian Empire (Another fascist power) crushed the Third Reich, and Party's leadership was actually pro-axis during the war. Officially, it remained pro-Axis until about 70s, when the previous leadership started to pass away, and new political generation came in. Now, however, Russian Empire, along with RNGOC, is typically portrayed as a respectable foe, while Third Reich is usually shunned as ''A foolish country, which messed with the wrong enemy''. Strasserites, however, weren't treated as harsh by both SC, and Russian Empire, and nowadays they are actually in the charge of the newly created Central European region of European Federation as regional governors, with capital in Berlin.

Regardless of mutual dislike of Nazis, Fascism is an ideology of stagnation and pseudoscience. They're a relatively easy faction to defeat in the 21st century since they're all physically unfit incels. Democrats, on the other hand, are the only ideology that could stand against us albeit their defeat is inevitable.


Religion isn't banned in the Technocracy, they're left alone as long as they don't go against Technocratic values. However, society de facto discourages religion with the state not intervening in this regard. This can be comparable to 21st century United States of America: While America is a secular country that doesn't ban Agnosticism or Islam, society strongly discourages any beliefs outside of Christianity.

There's no religious members running the Technocracy minus a few Shintos and Daoists, just like there's no non-Christians holding office in the United States minus a few token Muslims and Bernie Sanders, an Agnostic-Jew.

Well, I suppose a snobbish militant atheism would be typically of a technocracy, so I'm not surprised.



The capital and largest city in Calidia is Dijonet. It is where IRL Havana, Cuba is, but boasts a population twice that of Havana's at 4.4 million. It boasts one of the world's biggest seaports and is home to an extraordinary amount of sea traffic. The city itself, etymologically speaking, means "Little Dijon" through the use of an -et diminutive suffix, which alludes to Calidia's Burgundian heritage in the fact that Dijon was the now-defunct Kingdom's capital. The city is extraordinarily old. It was founded in roughly 1540 as the little hamlet of Espoir, but it began to grow rapidly. In 1692, after it had long since became the largest city in Calidia, it was renamed to Dijonet and made the capital.

That’s pretty cool. I like how you’ve made a French equivalent to Cuba and actually made a history for the capital.
The only legal party in the Worker’s Republic is the All-Lahner National Workers Party (Lahnish: Gesamtlahnerische Nationale Arbeiterpartei; GlNAp). The party has gone through many reformations, but it is still technically the same political party that ended the chaotic years following the revolution and remade the country into something far greater than what the monarchy could’ve ever done.

You still have political parties? This always leads to public dissatisfaction with the candidature, since citizens must settle for the party that sort of reflects their views instead of voting for the individual who fully reflects their views.

Edit: Got beaten by another nation. Opinion on above nation’s interesting fact: No opinion. Geographical location can’t be helped. That said, I do like colder climates and could never live in a tropical (or otherwise really warm) nation.

Interesting fact: There are no political parties in Snofjogur. Candidates run as individuals and are judged as such by the voting population.

Bonus: Not just anyone may be a candidate for any position. In order for someone to be a candidate for a position in parliament, one must have studied something closely related to what the position is for (e.g. you need to have studied science or engineering to be allowed to run for representative of the science & technology sector of parliament). The same restrictions apply to voting for candidates for a position. This ensures elected government officials are never inept at their job and voters are always well informed about what they are voting for.

That’s a reasonable policy. I personally like it, though my more democratic views don’t align with it.
The position of Hauptarbeiter is not a hereditary or passed-down one. Dossiers on potential candidates for the position are compiled into a secret list and are examined by a council of the party’s highest individuals. These candidates must be members of the Party to even be considered, and the council votes upon whom shall become the next head of state & government. The chosen individual is then notified by the government and told to meet the council before their official appointment. The councillors’ voices are distorted and they’re hidden behind blackout curtains during this meeting, so not even the leader knows who this council consists of.

I applaud you for being able to unite two social groups in such a creative manner.

In Roelandia when you come of age you have to sign a literal social contract if you want to receive your identity card.
You can opt out of signing the contract but that means that you will instantly lose your civil rights (but off course retain your human rights). This "ritual" is a leftover from Roelandia's turbulent interwar period where a civil war had split the country between a republican (the form of government, not the american political party) and a right wing rebel faction that resided in the then overseas possesions of the country. A shaky ceasefire between the two factions contained a clause in which people could freely relocate between the various areas of control that they wanted to live in and just had to sign that they were prepared to accept the responsibilities that came with the side that they chose (when they came of age). After the eventual defeat of the right wing faction this was no longer needed but the practice stuck around either way.

Seems rather dumb to still maintain the practice, or is it more something out of habit than anything legally binding? Either way it's stupid.


Empress Lana Puchta is a highly regarded Wawakanise figure in history as the ruler of the Wawakana Empire from 1382 to 1459, in which they collapsed a few years later due to political and ethnic conflicts. Many historians recount her time in power as benevolent and, disregarding the ethnic squabbles, a time of peace and prosperity at a time that was known for mass hunger and poverty, and recovering from the Black Death which ended only a few decades before her rise to power.

Under her rule, the Wawakana Empire conquered Western Europe in 1393, remnants of the Persian Empire in 1404, and Northern (of North) America (modern-day Canada & Alaska) in 1435.

After her death, the Empire fell due to poor management, corruption and ethnic tensions. However, her legacy would continue on with the establishment of Tsarist Wawakanatote until its own collapse in 1917.

More holidays means more time to get a vacation and slack off. That's what I care the most about them.

EDITING...

Sounds like a great leader. I wonder how the communist regime would perceive such a successful archaic monarch that has done more than some of their General-Secretaries?


Intermaria is located in the center of Europe as one of the last bastion of monarchism in the region. Popularized by its slogan "Neither East or West". It has come under threat by its ideological rivals and has been surrounded by interesting nations both convenient allies, frenemies, and rivals. To the west; Intermaria borders its ideological rival the West European Federation, a rump state encompassing Germany, France, Northern Italy, and the Benelux countries of the once mighty European Union after the apocalyptic Five Days of Fire. Founded by EU bureaucrats and elites that went into hiding during the nuclear war, they are the center of democracy and liberalism in Europe. Despite that however, the population has grown discontent with its rampant bureaucracy, petty partisan politics, and growing centralization with the elite directly ruling from Brussell where the needs of local region aren't satisfied leading to a lost of confidence its democratic rule. All of these combined has forced the populace to elect a right-wing populist figure they could agree on in the name of Chancellor Viktor Orban Konrad Herzog. Though his aggressive foreign policy of conquering Intermaria in order to "spread the flames of liberty" and the passing of draconian laws that represses freedom of the press has threatened the already weak European democracy. The only thing keeping them together and giving them a sense of purpose is having Intermaria as a bogeyman to force a regime change and without it, the federation would disintegrate into squabbling states.

In the east, Intermaria found its sort of frenemy in the form of the New Soviet Republic. A group of socialist and communist revolutionaries overthrew their Tsar in 2045 in a clear re-enactment of the Russian Revolution. Its founder, Alexei Tchaikovsky, dreamed of restoring the greatness of the Soviet Union even though it became stagnant by then in the early 90s when the Five Days of Fire occurred. Tchaikovsky argued that the past union crumbled because it didn't let enough democratization and liberalization even though it was Gorbachev's Glasnost and Perestroika that led the union into stagnation. The New Soviet Republic was founded as a parliamentary socialist democracy on paper dubbed the "Socialism With a Human Face". Nonetheless, the Soviet Republic had passed numerous policies in abolishing archaic imperial practices and attempted to raise the standards of living of its workers while it expanded its territories by subjugating Caucasian and Ukrainian tribals to restore Soviet borders. The Republic is effectively led by the CPSR which is divided into three factions; the Libertarian Socialist that favors a communal approach to its structure, the run-off-the-mill orthodox Leninist and Trotskyist Collectivists, and the literal Nazbols of the Vanguardists. The NSR is plagued by factional infighting, ethnic division, and disastrous industrialization and land reforms due to governmental corruption. Their aggressive foreign policy backed by the Collectivists of exporting the socialist revolution hasn't helped their image either. The Georgian Stalinist Vanguardist's leader, Georgiy Maksimov, has become the rising figure of the republic's politics and has become clear that he will be Tchaikovsky's hand-picked successor.

To the south you have irrelevant nations such as Yugoslavia who are petitioning to join the Intermarian Order and Bulgaria, a vassal of Byzantine Greece that is soon to be annexed into it. Not much I could go off. Sorry if it's that long, I'm into extensive world-building anyways.

Please show some love by upvoting one of my factbooks. Wall of texts doesn't come out of thin air, y'know.

Intermarian Gazette: Imperator Konstantyn refuses to enter a Concordat with the Holy See. The Imperator views it as an attempt to undermine secular rule of law and place the interest of a religious group over another. Rumors are speculating that Grand Master Giovanni of Malta would lead the second round of negotiation table talks.

Well, first off, General-Secretary isn't our paramount leader, that role goes to the Chairwoman. Secondly, the communist regime regards her very highly as the first sentence would suggest. Of course she isn't upheld anymore, but there aren't many nations today that uphold centuries old political figures.//skip//

Sounds like a great leader. I wonder how the communist regime would perceive such a successful archaic monarch that has done more than some of their General-Secretaries?


Intermaria is located in the center of Europe as one of the last bastion of monarchism in the region. Popularized by its slogan "Neither East or West". It has come under threat by its ideological rivals and has been surrounded by interesting nations both convenient allies, frenemies, and rivals. To the west; Intermaria borders its ideological rival the West European Federation, a rump state encompassing Germany, France, Northern Italy, and the Benelux countries of the once mighty European Union after the apocalyptic Five Days of Fire. Founded by EU bureaucrats and elites that went into hiding during the nuclear war, they are the center of democracy and liberalism in Europe. Despite that however, the population has grown discontent with its rampant bureaucracy, petty partisan politics, and growing centralization with the elite directly ruling from Brussell where the needs of local region aren't satisfied leading to a lost of confidence its democratic rule. All of these combined has forced the populace to elect a right-wing populist figure they could agree on in the name of Chancellor Viktor Orban Konrad Herzog. Though his aggressive foreign policy of conquering Intermaria in order to "spread the flames of liberty" and the passing of draconian laws that represses freedom of the press has threatened the already weak European democracy. The only thing keeping them together and giving them a sense of purpose is having Intermaria as a bogeyman to force a regime change and without it, the federation would disintegrate into squabbling states.

In the east, Intermaria found its sort of frenemy in the form of the New Soviet Republic. A group of socialist and communist revolutionaries overthrew their Tsar in 2045 in a clear re-enactment of the Russian Revolution. Its founder, Alexei Tchaikovsky, dreamed of restoring the greatness of the Soviet Union even though it became stagnant by then in the early 90s when the Five Days of Fire occurred. Tchaikovsky argued that the past union crumbled because it didn't let enough democratization and liberalization even though it was Gorbachev's Glasnost and Perestroika that led the union into stagnation. The New Soviet Republic was founded as a parliamentary socialist democracy on paper dubbed the "Socialism With a Human Face". Nonetheless, the Soviet Republic had passed numerous policies in abolishing archaic imperial practices and attempted to raise the standards of living of its workers while it expanded its territories by subjugating Caucasian and Ukrainian tribals to restore Soviet borders. The Republic is effectively led by the CPSR which is divided into three factions; the Libertarian Socialist that favors a communal approach to its structure, the run-off-the-mill orthodox Leninist and Trotskyist Collectivists, and the literal Nazbols of the Vanguardists. The NSR is plagued by factional infighting, ethnic division, and disastrous industrialization and land reforms due to governmental corruption. Their aggressive foreign policy backed by the Collectivists of exporting the socialist revolution hasn't helped their image either. The Georgian Stalinist Vanguardist's leader, Georgiy Maksimov, has become the rising figure of the republic's politics and has become clear that he will be Tchaikovsky's hand-picked successor.

To the south you have irrelevant nations such as Yugoslavia who are petitioning to join the Intermarian Order and Bulgaria, a vassal of Byzantine Greece that is soon to be annexed into it. Not much I could go off. Sorry if it's that long, I'm into extensive world-building anyways.


Your nation sounds like it's in a constant state of war between factions. Man, Europe, can't stop killing each other.


We originally had a racist idea of a 'Cosmo Race'. While other Western nations believe that certain race have certain traits, therefore, White people are superior, Borgevia takes a different approach. We used to believe that each race has a pro and con to it, and thus, mixed people carry the benefits of both races, a true master race is one that has the best genes regardless of ethnicity, right?

Using this logic, our Republic used to breed "Super Humans" through miscegenation. We bribe our citizens to marry people of a different race, we accept only the most physically fit/educated immigrant regardless of origins (and then pay them to marry our citizens), and take extensive care of their offspring believing that the positive trait of Race A and Race B combined would make the mixed person stronger than A or B individually. Diplomatically, we clash with the United States, Japan, China, and Europe over this as they all believe themselves ("White", "Japanese", or "Chinese") to be the most noble, most superior people. Borgevians view themselves as superior since we have so-and-so trait of the Europeans and the so-and-so traits of the Asians or Africans in our veins, making us genetically superior and destined to rule our genetic/scientifically illiterate inferiors.

We literally see Nazis as subhumans who will die of incest genes in the 1940s. However, up until the 1950s, we're pretty much a Megacorp with an army and dominate other countries through economic means. Our economic dominance of other nations, thus, saving us from micromanagement of our oversea colonies (we don't have any) while still outperforming Great Britain and France in trade, industrial production, and a naval force that protect our merchants and partners equally, it intensified our at the time, unorthodox view of racial superiority among Western nations.

Basically, since Europeans see themselves as the most innovative race and Africans the most labor-productive workers, then a Mulatto is superior to both a pure European and a pure African. Our logic is to breed as much Mulattos as possible so we can dominate both Europe and Africa through economic means (European), and if they turn against our merchants, branch offices, and corporate offices, we have our superior soldiers with superior genes to take care of it. Science later disproved the idea of traits being exclusive to race, and our government has since made reparations to descendants of these early designer babies.

Was once a ruthless capitalist Corporate State in South America (1800s - 1950s), but has since reformed into a Social Democratic, Federal, Parliamentary Republic whose politics is 90% of my irl views. We're Italo-Spanish-Chinese influenced and thus there's a lot of Chinese and Greco-Roman cultural references.

That seems, mildly racist.

In New Transeurasia, it is illegal for parents to not vaccinate children, which counts as child endangerment and if parents have not given their children the required vaccines by certain ages, the children may be taken from their parents to foster homes or parents and the parents may be fined.

It's unfortunate that people have to be made to vaccinate their children when they should know to do it anyway.



The Greater Chinese Republic has a significant presence around Saturn and its moons. This is due to the valuable resources in the region, from ice to provide water for other colonies, He3 Fusion fuel, and organic compounds for manufacturing plastics and use as fuel in less advanced economies. These riches have unfortunately attracted pirates to the region, necessitating the deployment of the People's Liberation Army Space Force. It has also been suggested that the military presence serves to deter any other powers from attempting to seize control of the lucrative operation.

The protection of a nation’s resources from pirates or foreign seizure is an essential policy. I commend the deployment of the PLASF.
The Worker’s Republic of Lahnland and the world it resides in is technologically and socially in an equivalent to the 1930s - 1940s. Radio, antibiotics and radar are all relatively new inventions, and the jet engine has recently been discovered.

As a result of its technological era, Lahnish military technology heavily resembles that of the RL Wehrmacht and Red Army.

Tiny, brand new and primitive. Trying to be Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia at the same time. Your a ripe place for us to illegally dump toxic and radioactive waste. And if you don't like it, your tiny, primitive army can do little to stop it. Enjoy all the cancer your nation is about to die from.


Evil Lord Bane, like all Evil Overlords before him, had to murder his way to the top of the nation's economic and pollical orders. Unlike monarchies, being born from an Evil Overlord does not insure the title being passed down to the next generation. Becoming an Evil Warlord or Evil Overlord in our nation must be earned. The throne sits atop a pile of dead bodies. And if someone wants it, they have to create the pile, then climb it to the top.

Barbaric, edgy, and very very ineffective. Then again, if Evil Overlords had read the Evil Overlord List, they wouldn't be Evil Overlords now, would they?


Frievolk has three national Holidays: Union Day (Unionstag), held on October 29, Church Day (Kirchestag), held on March 13th, and King's Day (Konigstag), held on 7 June.
The third is the last of these three to become a holiday (the first became one after the establishment of the Second Kingdom of Frievolk, the second a few months after the establishment of the First Empire), that is to say on 1876. It's the day Emperor Otto II was executed for treason and King Bernard II (Often called Bernard the great) put on throne at the ripe age of 12.

Good to know that they have unique reasons for their holidays. But 3 sounds too little.


We originally stayed out of World War II because we have massive trade contracts with both the Empire of Japan & Republic of China. We also sell manufacturing goods and shipping products to both factions during the war. We only joined the Allies in 1941 when Japan attacked the United States, our largest trade partner who owe us a huge chunk of our loaned money. To see the USA go down is to see our Mercantile Republic go down.

We then rallied the rest of the FSN (Federation of Sovereign Nations) which at the time included Colombia, Suriname, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Costa Rica, Central American Federation, and Cuba to defend our largest trade partner (and geopolitical buffer zone). The same way Hitler and Mussolini declared war on the USA in 1941, they also declared war on the FSN. While the Soviets were instrumental in taking down Nazi Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary, Borgovia was instrumental in taking down Italy & Albania. We also liberated Greece and Ethiopia and secured the South Pacific against the Japanese, supporting the US "Island hopping" tactic, eventually knocking out Japan.

Britain was overshadowed by Borgovia in this alternative timeline, although we both did become 2 of the 6 Permanent UN Security Council members.

TL;DR - We fought the fascists just because we need to keep the US economy alive and running. The longer our Gringo brothers fight, the less they trade and the less likely they'll pay back our debts. Our entire political ideology until the 1950s was "Triumph though the balance sheet"

Interesting... I've been searching for ways to involve South America in my stories, and that was a great alt-history take on an often underrepresented part of the world, in a timeframe essentially similar to mine. I'll definitely be considering the continent's economics more the next time I write!
Abyssal Fleet Girls universally have brilliant bioluminescent eyes, but this is a recessive trait in the offspring they produce with humans. Instead, Abyssal-Humans have an integrated tapetum lucidum, the same trait that lets many animals see well in the dark.

This has afforded many of them prodigious careers as scouts and snipers in the North American armed forces.
