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

[Soleos]

Poor Rosa. Why did you have to pair her with her killers? Do you have no shame? Also, are those people supposed to be the ceilings for what to expect with the party's ideological backing? If so, I obviously choose the Labour Party - the progressives are..well..not great. Not a fan of Andrew Yang.

Article IX
XXII. The official doctrine of the Crowned Republic of Kabzeel is the idea of Royal Socialism, which is based off the belief that men and women of a society are entitled to certain, inalienable rights to live a long and happy life.
XXIII.. The secondary doctrine of the Crowned Republic of Kabzeel is the idea of "Dear Ladyism", which is a sign of respect for the Phisher family for their heroic efforts in the Revolution of 1875 and their continued efforts to promote a more fair and balanced society.

Yes. The "right wing" of the Labor Party are the Corbyn-types, with the "Left" branch being closer to Eugene Debs. Some outliers, mainly populists trying to be pragmatic in how to influence politics, are usually pro-Rosa types who see that joining the Labor Party and using it as a platform is the pragmatic solution to spreading their ideas. The current Prime Minister would not get along well with Jeremy Corbyn, however, he's the Chairman of the Labor Party where the right-leaning branch of the party are Corbyn clones.

He also wouldn't get along with Rosa Luxembourg either as he's Gen Z, they're a lot more internationalist and welcoming of technology than the older millennial generation, who tend to worship Kropotkin and Luxembourg.

[Kabzeel]

Quite the admirable policies set in that specific section of the Constitution. Why the name of your political philosophy is ‘Royal’ Socialism, and not just Democratic Socialism is peculiar to me though

Because democratic socialism doesn't uphold a monarchist system, Royal 'Socialism' is it's own thing that upholds monarchism as social positive in society and is not akin to either traditional socialism (marxism), democratic socialism (Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia), or social democracy (Scandinavia). Royal 'Socialism' is more similar in its usage of socialism as the National 'Socialists' (i.e. central planning + maintaining-ish traditional values), though to call us 'Nazis" would be incorrect as we don't pertain to eugenics or antisemitism within our guiding philosophy. //skip//

Triumvir Adil Murridi was Known to be heavily involved in the Lighthouse War, though Cayenne itself was neutral until the last days of the war. He frequently, and mostly on his own, waged electronic warfare on the Erusean controlled Arkbird, drones and the Elevator itself (who’s defences turned on the radicals inside, allowing a Cayennese expeditionary fleet to take Selatapura). Toward the latter days of the war, he sent forces to find Princess Rosa Cossette d’Elise and other Erusean leaders willing to end the war. Through sheer will (and the use of intelligences and special forces in Usea), he forced the Osean Government, Erusea’s Princess Rosa, Lt. General Edourad Labarthe (who he had smuggled by small boat rather than aircraft) and the leaders of Voslage and Shilage to the table and basically dictated a treaty to them in Farbanti which follows as such:
[*] The Kingdom of Erusea will remain neutral in all subsequent conflicts, however it will remain armed, in order to safeguard its territory
[*] The Grand Duchy of Shilage will be given independence, with Grand Duke Mihaly as ceremonial leader
[*]The Republic of Voslage will be given independence, with elections in January 2020
[*] The Space Elevator is International territory, and the Republic of Selatapura will remain independent

Also, rumours abound that he was romantically involved with an Osean pilot

TL;DR Adil Murridi’s first Diplomatic mission during a war is an overwhelming success, an will live in infamy as the most aggressive diplomatic mission ever

Look on the bright side, the war's over so even if he lives in infamy, at least it brought an end to the conflict! Good job still

The anthem of the USA is Battle Cry of Freedom after the Civil War ended. Interestingly, the state of Alabama is very Afro-Spanish and Afro-Italian the same way Louisiana is Afro-French.

This is because during the US civil war, about 340,000 Borgovian volunteers fought for the Union, most of them being Afro-Borgovian. 2 Corpus members, both of Afro-Latino descent, funded a generous amounts of money in donation to the Union Army, supplying them with food, medicine, weapons, and even Private Military personnel. After the Civil War, one of the Corpus member, Ricardo Benavente, became a naturalized US Citizen, moved to Alabama, started a Business School to help the recently freed slaves join the Business-elites, and became one of the most famous Borgovian-American, the wealthiest American of African descent, and also one of the most well known Afro-Latino and African-American at the time. He lived, and died, as a Republican who renounced his Borgovian citizenship to prove his willingness to financially serve the United States after the abolition of slavery. He attended Abraham Lincoln's funeral.

Out of 340,000 Borgovians who served for the Union, only 95,000 survived, with only a few thousand choosing to return home to Borgovia. The ones who stayed turned their small outpost in the Confederate States into an eventual coastal city, attracting Afro-Mexicans and Afro-Cubanos escaping racism to a more familiar area. However, since Borgovians are Civic Nationalists, they see themselves more as Borgovians (and later Americans) first, and this shaped the Social Movements against racism in US history. More Borgovians began having their bases in Costa Azul, Alabama (fictional city btw), making the city less "Black Latino" and more "Borgovian" as Borgovians of Latino European descent begin making their homes there as well, and later spread out across Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Despite a strong Borgovian influx of various ethnicities, Afro-Latino culture still thrives and many Afro-Anglos in the USA began adopting Latino culture as Afro-Latinos welcome them more than White Anglos in the 1800s, and everyone wants to belong somewhere.

Today, that Business School (part of University of Alabama, Costa Azul) founded by Ricardo Benavente is one of the South's best business school, it is, after all, founded by one of Borgovia's Kleptocratic Elite. Alabama's rich in African, Spanish, and Italian culture and developed very differently from IRL since the Mercantile, hyper Capitalist Borgovians turned Alabama into a North American Malaysia with Costa Azul as its Singapore.

Unfortunately, there were race motivated attacks on the Borgovians in the South after the war, both Black and White Borgovians. This is because many Alabamans not only feel like these people are "invaders" who sided with the evil Union to destroy their rights, but also because Borgovians are Capitalist Catholics who buy up the land, create gated communities of excess, destroy farmlands for industry, and displace the Protestant rural Americans (black and white). On the bright side, thanks to the influx of Borgovians, Alabama is the 4th wealthiest Southern state, and prides in being a top-tier state for out-of-state MBA students.

[Elysea]

Whilst that’s all well and good for the current generation, I understand why the defeated southerners would label them as "invaders." It’s admittedly difficult to actually support anything YN has done due to its inhuman barbarism in some portions of its history.

Elysean research groups are currently at work trying to find a "cure" for pædophilia, zoophilia and other mental conditions. At the moment, these groups are searching for a genetic solution, aiming to actually eliminate these characteristics from the gene pool.

[Iciaros]

Hmm, that seems to begin with an assumption that such predispositions are linked in an ongoing way with genetics. If, for instance, my genes coded for me to have no arm, and then when I'm 40 you switch my genes around, would I suddenly grow a new arm? I doubt such a genetic approach would function well as a 'cure', though it may have better results as prevention - provided that these predispositions are indeed significantly linked to genetic factors.

---

The nature of Iciaros' Empresses is that, with every change of the sovereign, a magic ritual is conducted to imbue the new sovereign with the knowledge and wisdom of previous sovereigns. While this is primarily done to confer upon new Empresses the necessary wisdom and experience to rule, an additional effect is passing down nearly a millennium's worth of magic knowledge and techniques, making the Empress one of the most powerful magic users in existence even when they are not attuned to 'conventional' magic (the main alternative being black magic, a school of magic usable by any living being). The last time an Empress was involved in a major battle personally was only three years ago, when then-Empress-Valkyria Azalea duelled a rebellious vassal of hers who had himself acquired world-breaking magic, and their battle was so fierce that it outweighed the collective firepower of the respective armies they were leading.

One of the nation's greatest war heroes is Staris Kavil. His life was not an easy one, he was a ward of the state from day one due to not being wanted by his birth parents, and was never adopted due to his melancholic and pessimistic personality. He joined the army at age 18, in time for the primal crusades and the Dark 40. (A dark period of on and off war and strife with a theocratic dictatorship of similar strength) and distinguished himself during the Sehn-Hularis and Sehn-Kamore campaigns. He was later given additional training as a commissioned officer, and when the 40 finally ended, he had reached the rank of colonel.

He is still alive today, having received an honourable discharge due to war weariness and many long term wounds, both physical and mental, as well as being aged 58 at the time. He is 70, and lives with his extended family in the countryside.

While the 1994 Civil War was a conflict of much national significance and severe repercussions, there's no doubt that the Imperial Loyalists were fated to win. With a significant starting materiel advantage, troops with more morale and far, far better commanders, there were few ways in which the Emperor Ludwig V's side of the War could have been defeated. Nonetheless, the feeling of 'how did it come to this' was and still is omnipresent, and the brother war vilified as the worst conflict in German history even if far from the most bloody.

[Elysea]

Understandable. I can imagine why it is considered such, though to be honest I can’t really feel for it. There’s not really much difference fighting foreigners vs fighting countrymen on the other side.

Statues are erected and taken down according to the will of the people. If people want a statue taken down or put up, an online referendum is held and results are counted by AI. In these referendums, a person only has one vote. To participate in the referendum, one must submit general data + their national ID number. If the provided information doesn’t match up, the vote is automatically disqualified. This effectively bars non-citizens from voting at all.

In the United States of Natan, we have a bicameral Congress with nearly 11,000 members. The Democratic Party holds a majority in both chambers; the traditionalist party holds the second most.

[Hathian Prime]

Well, that Congress must be even worse than the USA's. I feel bad for the people who have to keep track of all the conversations that occur in the chamber.


At approximately 12:39 AM on December 21st, 1960, a squadron of 13 Fighters headed for the capital was suddenly lost without any warning. The night sky was completely clear during the trip leading to more confusion in Flight Command. Communications and radar had been working fine up until 12:39 and not a single pilot had reported any mechanical or navigational issues. The leader of the squadron, Captain Wendelin Nessler, radioed in the last message of the squadron just five seconds before he went missing. "We are on course and on time, gentlemen. Wind conditions are optimal and visibility is fantastic.FL-73." Low altitude and high altitude radar could not detect the planes or any form of debris from them. Not a single citizen in a 10-mile radius of the flight had seen or heard anything that would signal the planes had crashed or engaged in combat. For five weeks, investigators combed the countryside in a desperate attempt to find any trace of the missing fighters. The only thing they recovered was one completely intact cannon from Nessler's fighter that was found near a popular hiking trail. It was in working condition but had fired 40 of its 100 rounds and had jammed, indicating that Nessler had been firing a continuous stream instead of a controlled burst. This was highly unusual given that Nessler was an ace and a veteran who knew better than to fire continuously with the cannons that had been given to him. The discovery of the cannon greatly alarmed authorities, including the Supreme Leader himself. There was evidence of foul play involved but despite the best efforts of thousands of different people, no other pieces of the planes were recovered, and the pilots were given state funerals. To this day, experts still speculate on what could have happened on that clear December night.

Oh dear me, this sounded like what would happen in the Bermuda Triangle. Now, OOCly, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but in this world of NS...

Exuberant C-2904 Surveillant Clarissa Alanis Star Breya «La Amoureux Chéri» Millie Taissa Butterfly Mélody Coraline Jolijn Trini Clementine Hollie Harumi has been stress-tested in order to determine whether her human consciousness can overpower and overwrite the AI/computer routines that were installed in her and to run without errors.

One such test involved the help from Intelligence Officer Jenny, who was requested to write a flawless program that would have a string of names inside (without any ambiguity), and would feed these names directly to Clarissa's CPU and in turn activate the weapon systems - to damage or hurt those that are in the list. Upon uploaded and the program executed, just after 0.00231 seconds, the weapon systems were not armed and instead, Clarissa was found to approach Valentijn and his friends and in turn gave Valentijn a hug as always. It was also later found out that the program that Jenny wrote ended up in Clarissa's Recycling Bin (and later permanently deleted and rewritten 20 times just to make sure that there's not a single chance that the program will remain in the data recovery system).

... The program contains the names of the Valentians, most notably Valentijn, Foresittend Marcus, amongst many others.

Upon being asked, Clarissa admits that she indeed threw the program away after stopping its execution, because her human consciousness (which resided along the artificial neurons) stopped her computational side.

While this would mean that Clarissa will not obey every single command like a pure machine would, we can rest easy knowing that this will be beneficial to us, since no amount of hacking or sabotaging will make her turn on us. Her human mind is indeed stronger than her CPUs combined. This would also mean that we are the people that she has the full trust in us, and that we should not betray her in any forms possible. I mean, come on... do you really want to hurt that sweet soul inside that shell?

Making her go against her nature, though with good intentions, is rather dark and torturous. Heck, making a robot with a humanistic side is scary and depressing in itself. What if she wants to become a real girl but can't? I'm kinda surprised. In a good way though, it gives Valentine Z a more relatable, humanizing feel, that no matter how good a government is, people can still find boundaries to break and ask if they could, forgetting if they should. Not to mention it could be a big plot point to continue on. Another thumbs up on your worldbuilding there. Keep that brilliant mind of yours churning out great ideas.

The first thing Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa said in his speech after founding his nation were apologies. He apologized for all the misconduct he did when he was still neutral and when he was evil. Aside from this, his first few weeks as a monarch were spent fulfilling his promises before he became a leader, one of them being providing his mother with a place to live in the prairies of New Zealand, just as she has always wanted.

[Palmyrion]

It's a good thing he decided to clear things up before moving on with his sovereign leadership.

In the wake of the UP Aragon Massacre of 1975, wherein 5,184 graduates of UP Aragon were massacred by Stalinist military police and armed forces after they conducted a lightning rally against the government, the Raiders ROTC (which is based heavily on the real-life Hunters ROTC group from the Philippines) was founded by disgruntled and disillusioned ROTC students of UP Aragon.

They would become the primary special operations arm of the Commonwealth Counter-Revolutionary Front during the 4th Palmyrian Civil War, having been instrumental in carrying out decisive direct action raids and special reconnaissance missions during the war. They use a mix of conventional and unconventional military tactics and strategies not too dissimilar from those used by the NVA and PAVN during the Vietnam War.

They would soon proceed to become the first special operations group of the Royal Commonwealth after the civil war by laying down the foundations of the modern-day Raider Battlegroup, itself being formally inaugurated on 1984; the Marine Corps' Pioneer Battlegroup (founded 2000) and the Navy's NSAF (Naval Special Action Force founded 2001) draw from the Raiders' experience and tactics.

An ideology fails when it has to murder its own intellectual base. Shame on those tankies and the Commonwealth sympathizers are the least evil in this case.

Even though over 90% of the Technocracy's military are Defectives turned bioweapons, clones, and droids, there still exist Humans and Taloans who wish to serve the Technocracy. Military schools not only contain these volunteers, but also historians and sociologists studying Humanity and how it evolved overtime as well as learning from the past to improve our military doctrine. It is, after all, sensible to assume only sentient volunteers have the capability to rank up and lead the less-sentient clones/droids/Defectives.

All military academies are named after historical Terran figures. The most noteworthy are Krishnadevaraya, Julius Caesar, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Cyrus. At the Military Museum on Earth, in the City of Beijing, exists an archive of all military conflicts in Human history. In the middle of the hall is a statue of Yamagata Aritomo, Field Marshall of the Imperial Japanese Military known for crushing the Satsuma Rebels, the Luddite faction against the Meiji Reforms*. On the base of this marble statue is the motto of the Technocracy: The Light of Knowledge Incinerates all who oppose us.

The entire museum is a showcase of marble statues of all of Humanity's greatest generals. Every sentient volunteers for the Armed Forces visit this museum like a Mecca, as they are seen as carriers of the torch that is human history. It is customary to pay homage to at least one of the great generals of history, in a very Asian way of asking them to guide the soldier in the same way Buddhists, Daoist, Confucian traditions worship their ancestors. The most venerated military figure in the Technocracy are Zhuge Liang, Cyrus the Great, Sun Quan, Yamagata Aritomo, Krishnadevaraya, and Julius Caesar.

*The rebels weren't Luddites. They're just protesting the death of a warrior tradition in exchange for a more 'Western' military doctrine of the Imperial Japanese Army. The Technocracy, however, labels them as Luddites resisting rifles and cannons being the new face of human warfare.
