An almost copy-paste of the American Civil War, huh? Not particularly surprising, given your strictly Americanisms — no offence. Anyway, it is quite disappointing to see Inklings fell into such hubris and practiced racial slavery. It is a barbaric thing and any supporters of the practise needn’t be listened to.
The UK is ardently anti-Wahhabist/anti-Salafist. As such, promoting or supporting these Islamic lines of thought is illegal and punishable by imprisonment and possibly even disenfranchisement. In extension, the construction of new mosques or Islamic schools is in fact forbidden. In essence, the UK has embarked on a ”War Against Wahhabism."

Well, copy-paste, if by copy paste you mean strict resemblance to certain American events, kinda, I guess. Some of my events are inspired by American ones because of the theme of my nation practically being the US but with squids and less stupidity (Or that's what I like to tell myself.)

I understand being anti-fundamentalist but going against all good is not just overkill, it's stupid. It's apparent that your version of UK is dooming itself and purposely asking for the Devil to make it his playground and drag it to oblivion or worse or just doesn't care anymore.



This is also gonna be long.

In 2018 until 2020, Cheonsa and Camille were rival vigilantes/criminals that were more or less chaotic neutral, had similar methods, and sometimes, even the same enemies. The reason for their rivalry was purely personal. One similarity between the two is that because they were forced to not use their powers (Cheonsa was worried his identity as Maung would be exposed and Camille was still posing as a human to avoid discrimination), they devised three different fighting styles for different situations. Both were relatively inexperienced with fighting like humans, however, and came up with a fourth style once they got better at combat.

The first styles were very basic. Cheonsa's was called Brawler. Brawler had flashy kicks and circular, crowd-control attacks, with several moves that could be considred "cheating" (poking the eyes, hitting a kneeling foe with a sideways chop to the neck, etc). Camille's first style, dubbed Bouncer, was also plain and straightforward, with regular kicks and punches and the occasional counter.

The second styles put more emphasis on power. Camille's second style was called Berserker. With this style, she holds back a little less and takes advantage of her raw strength, throwing people and objects alike with little effort. Cheonsa's Trickster style used the increased range and potential damage of a collapsible stick, often used in magic tricks, due to his smaller and weaker frame which didn't have the same strength she did. With Trickster, he was able to fend off blade attacks and respond with punishing strikes to the joints.

The third styles were more concerned with speed. Cheonsa's was called Boxer. As its name suggests, he uses his kickboxing training here in conjunction with his innate agility, dodging strikes thrown at him while waiting for the right time to bombard the enemy with a large number of weak, yet repetitive and quick punches. Camille's was named Idol. It stylishly used her flexibility and her talent for dancing to deliver kicks and elbow strikes faster than the enemy could keep up with.

The final styles generally combined the best of the other three styles and added their own signature flair to it. These styles made both of them reputable in China's underworld, giving them the monikers they stuck with until significant changes in their lives (Cheonsa's first death and Camille's revelation to the world as a vampire). The Feral Cat of the South, Cheonsa's style, took the underhandedness of Brawler, the unpredictability and weapon mastery of Trickster (though he used a custom-made knife by then), and the quickness of Boxer, melding them into a dangerous, some say maniacal, style where he flings himself across the battlefield before repeatedly slashing, stabbing, or kicking his enemies into submission. Similarly, Camille's Demon Bat of the North style combined Idol's speed, Berserker's strength, and more refined techniques than Bouncer into a deadly moveset that struck terror into the eyes of allies and enemies alike.

That's a really dumb idea, which is probably the point. Any person even remotely educated in Islam knows that "Wahabbi" is more of a loose derogatory term on any non-Orthodox Sunni Muslim rather than the term for a defined ideology. The irony of the Brits, who primarily funded and supported the Saudi State (The state holding Abdulwahhab and his children's belief as divine word) through three centuries, now hating it once it's in their own shores is very delicious though.

AN: Worldbuilding based on fighting styles is always cool. I am curious about how a mix of Brawling, Berserking, and Boxing (All Warrior-type skills in a conventional RP) can lead into a rogue-style hack-and-slash system though.


Once again, I'm gonna milk this until I figure out another fact:

Upon entering the Great War, the British Empire's primary objective was to seize Dunkirk and the ports of Wallonia and use them to transport around 3,000,000 troops through the Channel. It was only a stroke of luck that the Majority of the North German Qingdao Fleet had dropped anchor in France's ports after bringing back the bulk of North Germany's garrison from the recently-returned Shandong. France told North Germany that if Britain could achieve naval dominance in the Channel this early, the war would be over in a month, and so the Qingdao Fleet and the Homefleet moved into the channel and helped France battle Britain. Once they realized they had no hopes of achieving dominance in the next two weeks, Britain tried to move around them and make landing in France's Southern coasts. It was at this time that the Naval part of the Great War reached its peak.

France, knowing that if Britain could move even one ship through Gibraltar, it would have supremacy in the Mediterranean, used almost every resource it had to block the strait, causing something close to a naval "trench warfare" where five entire British and French fleets were laid to waste before Britain decided it was simply not worth it. So now, Britain decided to move *around* Africa and come through Suez (Which they controlled without a single doubt). North German "Crown Prince's Fleet", stationed in Schwarzpunkt and Luderitz, and later the North German "Mittelafrikan Fleet" stationed in Freienhaus, tried as much as they could to stop the British from moving their troops and their navy, and later the Italians tried (to no avail) to block Britain from moving through Djibouti. By the time Britain had arrived to Suez (early September 1908), the Great Front had been established between France, Habsburg, and North Germany, and so Britain couldn't afford to open a new front, therefore they were forced to, instead, move their troops to Trent (crushing the last vestiges of the Italian Navy which had put Illyria and South Germany in a blockade) and land about 3,000,000 of their original 4,500,000 expeditionary force, which moved to reinforce the South Germans in the trenches, primarily in Palatinate, Baden, and Bavaria.

A shame that Germany is divided and used as a battlefield. Though, the fact that our former coloniser battles France once more is suprisingly pleasing to hear. It may just be our history with them.



Genosha has been attacked by anti-mutant sentinels since the end of the Civil war in 1995, numbering around 498 instances. During the King of Wakanda, T'Chaka's visit in 2002, Hammer Bay was attacked by sentinels yet again, attempting to kill the king and President Kanugo, in order to start another war. They survived, however, and the King return safely to Wakanda, with all 500 sentinels captured and shut down. An investigation by the Genoshan Strategic Information Service (SIS) and Wakanadan Intelligence uncovered US involvement, with 50 rogue officials implicated. President Bush refused to extradite the officials to Genosha and pulled out of signing the Treaty of Rome, forcing Genosha and Wakanda to pull out too. To add insult to injury, the US objected to the cannibalizing them to use for building materials and asked for them back intact. The Kingdom of Wakanda and the Republic of Genosha signed the Treaty of Oyundu, starting an alliance between two of the most advanced nations in the world.

So now two nations whose advancement and prosperity come from what is no less than the supernatural band together? No wonder. The outside world has good reason to feel cheated and cautious.



The German Empire was renamed the Empire of Germany on March 30, 2019. The constitutional amendment was floored in the Reichstag by decree of the German Emperor, and passed quickly by the Reichstag and Bundesrat. The reason for this (apparently long-overdue) amendment was that Germany could not be called "Empire of Germany" at its inception in 1871 because this would be a claim to the portions of Germany under Austrian control; however, the name stuck even after Austria joined the Empire in 1927. Internal strife, distaste for ceremonial formalities and the like held the bringing up of this question for a long time.
More importantly, the amendment also renamed the title of the hereditary Head of State from "German Emperor" to "Emperor of the Germans". Emperor Friedrich V wanted to make it clear that the position of Emperor is one that rests on popular trust rather than obscure divine right, and that an Emperor is only legitimate if he makes an effort to faithfully represent his people's interests abroad.

It seems the emperor has the right idea of how a politician should administrate their nation. We hope this continues in the future, regardless of the name change.

Thanks for the offer.

We’re fighting climate change aggressively. We have very strict eco-friendly laws all over the place and are constantly lobbying for environmental protection and green energy at the World Assembly. The reason we’re complately surrounded by year-long ice is that we’re at 83 degrees north; the year global warming reaches the point where our ice starts to disappear in Summer will be a sad year for us.

Due to how guard duty on watchtowers works in shifts, Peacekeepers stationed on District limits often pass time during their off-shifts playing card games, smoking, and drinking. This has made “fence duty” as it is commonly known, one of the more popular duties among the lower ranked Peacekeepers.

Strange... All guards (at least in Hazuken's eyes) should be on alert regardless of whether it;s peaceful or not.

Because it's bigger than Bermuda, people actually settled on the Hatsu Islands thousands of years ago. It was at least 6000 years ago, I guess.

That actually makes sense, I suppose. Were the people who originally settled there later replaced by anyone else? (Apart from, if applicable, European Colonists)



Once again, I'm gonna milk this until I figure out another fact:

Upon entering the Great War, the British Empire's primary objective was to seize Dunkirk and the ports of Wallonia and use them to transport around 3,000,000 troops through the Channel. It was only a stroke of luck that the Majority of the North German Qingdao Fleet had dropped anchor in France's ports after bringing back the bulk of North Germany's garrison from the recently-returned Shandong. France told North Germany that if Britain could achieve naval dominance in the Channel this early, the war would be over in a month, and so the Qingdao Fleet and the Homefleet moved into the channel and helped France battle Britain. Once they realized they had no hopes of achieving dominance in the next two weeks, Britain tried to move around them and make landing in France's Southern coasts. It was at this time that the Naval part of the Great War reached its peak.

France, knowing that if Britain could move even one ship through Gibraltar, it would have supremacy in the Mediterranean, used almost every resource it had to block the strait, causing something close to a naval "trench warfare" where five entire British and French fleets were laid to waste before Britain decided it was simply not worth it.

Very nice

In the Netherlands you will be fined if you're not 16 and have a boyfriend or girlfriend, it can go up to ƒ 300,- max
Official name: the Netherlands
After some disputes within the PVV and the CDP about the new political party (National Party of the Netherlands) PM Legtenberg announced that the name will be the Conservative Party. Because the initial NPN became associated with far-right parties NSB and NSDAP in the '30s and '40s. PM Legtenberg further announced that the Netherlands wil also be a Federal Republic from 1 January 2024. And that he will become the first President of the Netherlands. How this will affect the elections will be decided by him and the House

That’s kind of silly. What’s the reasoning behind that? Is it tied ideologically to your governing party’s politics or something?
Grand Prince Freman fon Wyesburgh is accompanied by his companion and guardian Artorius, an indoraptor. Artorius is tame, and usually spends his time patrolling the Grand Princely Palace and the gardens.

Artorius is immortal and acts as a worldly anchor for Freman’s soul and magic, though this isn’t none by many if any.

You're a real piece of work, you know that?

AN: That's somewhat like Talos with the Underking, to be honest. It's an interesting way of "Explaining" godhead, at least while in universe.


Since the last response was the textbook definition of a shit-tier response,

Upon entering the Great War, the British Empire's primary objective was to seize Dunkirk and the ports of Wallonia and use them to transport around 3,000,000 troops through the Channel. It was only a stroke of luck that the Majority of the North German Qingdao Fleet had dropped anchor in France's ports after bringing back the bulk of North Germany's garrison from the recently-returned Shandong. France told North Germany that if Britain could achieve naval dominance in the Channel this early, the war would be over in a month, and so the Qingdao Fleet and the Homefleet moved into the channel and helped France battle Britain. Once they realized they had no hopes of achieving dominance in the next two weeks, Britain tried to move around them and make landing in France's Southern coasts. It was at this time that the Naval part of the Great War reached its peak.

France, knowing that if Britain could move even one ship through Gibraltar, it would have supremacy in the Mediterranean, used almost every resource it had to block the strait, causing something close to a naval "trench warfare" where five entire British and French fleets were laid to waste before Britain decided it was simply not worth it. So now, Britain decided to move *around* Africa and come through Suez (Which they controlled without a single doubt).

I got ya, fam.

Holy crap... 3 million troops through the waterways? I mean, you have to do what you have to do, but from my reading and understanding, being able to transport 3 million troops like that was pretty amazing, I must say. Well, would be, actually... It was good on France for being early and telling the Germans about it, and for the Qingdao Fleet for being there, I imagine? Otherwise, you are going to have a problem, and that problem being 3 million British troops.

As I always think, with one problem, comes another, and eventually a war. I'm sure that this is not a war that the French and the Germans want to fight, but the circumstances have forced them to, and it's either take it or leave it for them, and I'm glad that they take the chance to fight and tried their best to thwart the Brits, because... goodness help me if that 3 million troops are going to cross that channel and wreck havoc.

Last line means that the British in your world are supporting the South Germans, right? So with their crossing more or less failed or risky, that would mean that France, Habsburg, and North Germany have won for that moment, and the Brits have to join S. Germans in another way?

Now THAT'S a cool war story and event! By the time all of this is over, I'm sure you can have a lot of historical researches and thesis from students from your world who are studying history.

Constantine Sein Lin Zaw Naing and Exuberant T-1000 Surveillant Clarissa Alanis Star Breya « La Amoureux Chéri » Millie Taissa Butterfly Mélody Coraline Jolijn Trini Clementine Hollie Harumi are not just husband and wife, but they actually complemented each other in almost every way.

As of right now, Valentijn has a dedicated slot on his helmet and on-board computers, which mainly acts as a HUD for his battling needs. Without Clarissa, they simply are HUD elements, that much is true. However, when Clarissa is introduced and has entered Valentijn's helmet and suit systems, she can perform abilities that are nearly a miracle. From the list of things, she can:

- Analyse the POV of Valentijn in real-time, including climate data, the terrain, and so on.
- Analyse up to 10,000 people in real-time, and down to their every detail, including their sides, alliances, their current physical health and fitness. And to fullest of extents, Clarissa can access the medical database of these people and can scan through every single one of their histories in parallel, all in a matter of picoseconds.
- Enhances the HUD in such a way that with pinpoint accuracy and 0.00001% failure rate, Clarissa can feed battle data, along with other crucial pieces of information, to Valentijn, at 60 updates per second, also while translating them to easier-to-read visuals and word displays to compensate for slower human reactions.
- The ability to become the "eyes" for Valentijn in the case that there is absence of visible light, or that Valentijn was hit with a flash grenade. Clarissa will take over the HUD and again, analyzing the terrain around her, she will recreate the display to Valentijn's HUD. Though this has limited success.
- Clarissa records what is showed and displayed on Valentijn's POV in an astonishing display of an AI being able to self-code. She simply does not record the happenings through video means (this was secondary), but by self-coding and rendering her own environment, along with proper animations. In short, she can record a battle from her understanding and play it back using a pin-point accurate physics and game engines, and she can export it so that the Valentian Command could play around with it later or analyse.

Clarissa has definitely kept Valentijn alive, knowing how the latter likes to fight and charge into a battle. On the other hand, Valentijn provides much benefit to Clarissa, such as limitless amount of energy from the radiation that Clarissa has managed to utilize for her computational needs, as well as protecting her from outside elements; this is given the fact that Valentijn's helmet and his armor is reinforced to take heavy hits, and his head is well-protected, along with the crucial on-board computers.

In even shorter terms, think of it like your video game; without Clarissa, it's just a boring HUD. With her, it's like being able to wallhack, aimbot, etc, all in real life.

By the latest count, there had been 382 proposals to change the official name of the Corporate Federation of Scientificum. The largest reason for this is that the name currently does not represent the Scanadinavian people (who make up approximately 75% of the Scientist population, the rest of which are Finnish and other minority groups). The most popular name is the "Scandinavian Federation", which is suggested in nearly 45% of the proposals.

"May we suggest something like the name "Scientificum", but in one of the scandinavian languages? Thus it will represent Scandinavian majority."-Council.




Most things in Skyhookedian culture are basically the polar opposites of the old theocratic regime's culture. For example: Under old regime, xenophobia was promoted, and now, Skyhooked accepts almsot any culture or race without too much questions. Old regime was based on puritanism and ascetism, and now, we are lewd hedonists, who drink lots of booze and smoke weed everyday. Or, before the revolution, christianity was strictly enforced, while other religions were persecuted. Now, we created a new age pagan religion, that can syncretize with other religions easily, and also we have totally secular laws.

Whilst I can somewhat understand why the people of Skyhooked went in a completely opposite direction compared to their former rulers, I’m not the most supportive of the new status quo. I’m more in favour of puritanical and ascetic culture rather than what Skyhooked currently has. That’s just my opinion, though. At least you’re doing well.
Public bathhouses and saunas are relatively common in Wyesburgh. Urban and rural bathhouses differ quite greatly in style. Urban bathhouses have a Romanesque style, with marble pillars and statues often found. Rural bathhouses, in contrast, are more naturalistic and organic than their urban counterparts.

Public bathhouses are not required to segregate visitors by sex, nor are visitors required to wear bathing suits nationwide. However, minor-friendly bathhouses must require bathing suits.

The largest Imperial Fleet is the Vilician Sect Fleet. It consists of 45 million Alicia Type 1.0's and 20 super destroyer battleships. As well as countless fighters and landing armies. The fleet is officially lead by the Empress but day to day operations are lead by Over Admiral Eren Dius.
This fleet patrols the Capital Ring, which is the ring of solar systems that contains the founding 30 planets.

With that amount of firepower, I am sure that you can conquer the Covenant from Halo, multiple times over. I would actually love to see that happen one day, because screw the Covenant. :P




Holly also seems to have the ability to take in energy from her home world, that is, the dimension and Holly are connected to each other. With that, she can harness and expend a limitless amount of energy from the dimension. She is shown to be able to form objects made out of solidied light, as well as sentient beings that she can fully control, while they have their own consciousness. Once they merge back with Holly, the beings' knowledge and memories will transfer to Holly herself. Perhaps she used this ability to make copies of people (or Valentians, for that matter) so as not to be lonely. For this alone, it is difficult to determine whether Holly has an actual form, or that the dimension itself is conscious and manifests itself as this light-blue girl when it was first created.

However, it is well-known that there can be only one version of true Holly, that is, the other clones of her are less capable compared to her, and only the true version of herself has the ability to control the entire dimension.

How interesting yet terrifying of what potential Holly could do if someone or something pushes her enough.


The United States adopted a parliamentary and eventually a Ranked Voting system because of Borgovia. It's not because Borgovia had any influence, but because Borgovia's ruthless capitalism pre-reform was so horrendous, if the United States have any resemblance to them, it could be weaponized by China and the Soviet Union against the West. This led to international pressure on Borgovia in the 1950s when the rest of the world moved towards a more Keynesian model of capitalism to combat the Communist bloc. The two-party system of the USA, where private donations influence elections and really no representation based on population is akin to Borgovia's Kleptocratic 'Corpus' where only those with money can vote, and they tend to vote for each other, the 'Corpus', an organization that runs Borgovia like a Trust as opposed to a federation of states. 21st century United States resembles a combination of Canada & Singapore in that it has the quasi-Social Democratic vibe of Canada but it's also Civic Nationalists with a hyper-insured, not universal, healthcare system similar to IRL Singapore/Taiwan.

Borgovia, during its reform, was infamous for its delegates to the UN accuse it of being White Supremacists:
The world is changing, yes, but the world also points to Borgovia as a black sheep of all that is wrong with the world. What of Belgium and the mutilation of Congolese? What of Britain and France, Germany and Japan, Russia and Portugal, that committed acts of horrendous genocides across their colonies? The only reason why the world despise the Corpus so is because our victims include White Europeans!

Another reason why the USA and most of Latin America adapted away from the ruthless capitalist attitude of Borgovia is because the world is aware of Fortuna, or, Falkland Islands irl, a debt internment colony that was populated mainly by Japanese, Hungarian, and German POWs of World War II. Since Borgovia didn't fully fund the war, and left the Corporations to do it, Fortuna is collectively owned by several Corpus members, used the POWs as indebted workers who owe the Corporations an outrageous sum for the labor and services, plus amenities provided to keep them alive. Many riots broke out, as Japan doesn't want their POWs back, and Germany is unable to convince Borgovia to return their POWs for trials; many of the rioters in the debt colony would often have boiling water poured down their throat or tubes shoved into their mouths/nostrils to be force-fed if it's a hunger strike. They're employees who owe to the Corpus, strap themselves up, grow up, and work!

This very thing is what scared the USA into reforming itself, and later convincing the entirety of the West to pressure Borgovia in the 1950s as the USSR is very well ready to slander the West using Borgovia as the 'true face of Western capitalism'. Italians, Spanish Franco sympathizers, and Romanians were spared just because they're Latino blood (1940s was a very racist time)

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.

The world in this nation is changing for the better, current year is 2042.

Call us "Borgovia".

It's not because Borgovia had any influence, but because Borgovia's ruthless capitalism pre-reform was so horrendous, if the United States have any resemblance to them, it could be weaponized by China and the Soviet Union against the West. This led to international pressure on Borgovia in the 1950s when the rest of the world moved towards a more Keynesian model of capitalism to combat the Communist bloc. The two-party system of the USA, where private donations influence elections and really no representation based on population is akin to Borgovia's Kleptocratic 'Corpus' where only those with money can vote, and they tend to vote for each other, the 'Corpus', an organization that runs Borgovia like a Trust as opposed to a federation of states. 21st century United States resembles a combination of Canada & Singapore in that it has the quasi-Social Democratic vibe of Canada but it's also Civic Nationalists with a hyper-insured, not universal, healthcare system similar to IRL Singapore/Taiwan.

Borgovia, during its reform, was infamous for its delegates to the UN accuse it of being White Supremacists:
The world is changing, yes, but the world also points to Borgovia as a black sheep of all that is wrong with the world. What of Belgium and the mutilation of Congolese? What of Britain and France, Germany and Japan, Russia and Portugal, that committed acts of horrendous genocides across their colonies? The only reason why the world despise the Corpus so is because our victims include White Europeans!

That’s horrendous. Borgovia took everything that’s wrong with capitalism and inflated it to a ridiculous proportion. That they were able to scare even the United States into adopting a more moderate form of the western right-wing sociopolitical system speaks to how awful it is. We hope Borgovia is challenged by the international community and made to make up for its crimes against humanity.

The most expensive projects Snofjogur has undertaken are the VitroGrow project, which established the technology and infrastructure required for production of food and organs from non-biological raw materials; the Snofjogurish Particle Collider, which will be the world’s largest particle accelerator when it is completed in the 2050s; and the Snofjogurish mission to Mars, which plans to put humans on the red planet in 2032. Each of this projects has cost the nation upwards of fifteen thousand million Snofjogurish marks (roughly ten thousand million pounds sterling), anywhere between 50% and 100% of the tiny nation’s GDP.

My nation (the factbook version) fully reflects my views. Running a psychotic dictatorship where people have zero rights can be fun, but at the end of the day I find it much more interesting to try to pull together a nation full of groups with different interests and make sure everyone gets along while balancing things like education, welfare, environment, industry and economic growth and making sure everyone gets what they deserve.
