Hmm... Maybe that rebels will succed for 10 years.





Marshall of the Five Nation's Army, Sambor Voymirevitch Lechitski was born and raised in Bulgaria and, as a child, he witnessed the deaths of his parents, which were ordered under martial order. When he was 20, he aspired to join the military and became one of Free Land's highly-trained commandos, serving as a special agent for many years.
Sometimes he was feeling exploited in army because of low pay. He took up the second life of a professional assassin, putting his skills to good use in all manner of lethal assignments. He found particular pleasure in assassinations, especially challenging or high-profile assignments.
It is estimated, he committed 419 murders in years 2830-2860. In 15th July of 2860 year, Sambor Lechitski was arrested. Two years later his lawsuit started but the judge and prosecutor were bribed for 12 million aureuses (it proven that he killed a people who could threaten the Free Land), so he was considered as innocent and he could continue the military carrer. He took part in the all six Tournaments of Martial Arts to Life and Death and he win them all. Also, he later invented one machine gun and sniper rifle. He can speak in 5 languages: Polish, Bulgarian, Russian, Japanese and English. His IQ is 168. He knows Sambo and Krav Maga.

Only more reasons to see to Walkerfort’s destruction. It is officially a terrorist state, and whomever engages diplomatically with it are enablers of terrorism.
The United Kingdom engages in state-sanctioned assassination, abroad and at home. Car bombs, exploding cellphones, "accidents" and hidden-in-plain sight assassination are often used. When these fail, the UK resorts to drone strikes and other methods.

From IRA-styled car bombs to US-style strikes? Yikes!



The community of Szent Veronika Mesto, the exclave of New Wolvers, is in reality comprised of one big city and various villages, which those villages themselves are outside of the border as well. Is the only region of the czech-speaking part of New Wolvers to not to include czech but Italian.
Some territories are even scattered outside of the exclave, and around 11 of them are outside the exclave, suually being as big as a neighborhood or a strip of neighborhood.
And to include: the community of Szent Veronika Mesto has its internal checkpoint in the big city, making Aterno the only surrounding country with a controlled border opposed to other neighboring countries.

Guess, that could cause numerous petty diplomatic disputes with the country, where this exclave is. At least, New Wolvers are pretty friendly, so risk of disputes is not too big.



Skyhookedians have notable traits like:

Due to their lifesyle, their bodies adapted to many toxins, thus making them able to consume even crazy dishes, large amounts of drinks and even some recreationals with only slight consequences. Physical trauma truobles them less too, because of higher pain threshold. Also, they have much less need for sleep.

Their bodies are pretty resistant to both heat and cold too.

As for brains, Skyhookedians are somewhat smarter than average, but slightly insane, and tend to take risks easily or not to think about consequences, so they tend to do things, others may call stupid. After all, smart doesn't mean wise. And those happy folks are definitely not wise. They are a bit of adrenaline junkies.

the capital of walkerfort, Elsridge (aka hong kong but more or less very multicultural) is sometimes mistaken for the Main base of military operations and the airport helps cement the belief that Elsridge is basically both the capital and the Joint command center of operations, because of this... Elsridge's citizens are in a bit of a paranoid state when military looking aircraft fly overhead

I feel kinda sorry for the people of Elsridge, it's a pity for them that their city has something of an unfortunate reputation. But at the same time, if it's not actually the main base of military operations, it shouldn't be too dangerous there. The government should issue a statement or something and put their poor minds at rest...

There is an (admittedly very small) political party within Quaeg that tries to derive policies from the spirits of the country's ancestors. They attempt this through divination using chicken bones and fruit stones to discern omens and premonitions sent to them by the ancestor spirits. They are still more popular than either of the two royalist parties.
So, this is where I write a signature. I'll replace this with something else later.

Hm. My inner monarchist is baffled by the notion that superstitious nutters are more popular than a royalist party. The benefits of monarchism and a crown far outweighs that of poorly-educated plebeians in the party you mention.
The No-Nonsense Movement is a tiny, unrepresented political movement within the United Kingdom. It is led by Charles Reeve, an 18 year old college student studying to later become a police officer in his county.

What's this? A thinly veiled implementation of Universal Basic Income?


Diarcesians are expected to be at least bilingual, and they are usually trilingual. Even more so in the dieresis of Duolinguo (多林国), the Country of Many Forests. Not only the Duolinguese have a tendency to know three or four languages, but they have a knack for humor and puns. In reference to both Duolinguese and Diarcesian Latin wordplay, tourist guides there would oftentimes introduce their land to visitors like this: "Duolinguo is not just a country of many forests, but also of many languages."

... That's a lot of languages to keep straight. How do your citizens do all that? I can barely keep english straight half the time.




Uvoan, continuing the long tradition of insane battles, has an honor so murky and distinctive that nobody knows what to think of it. They have the distinctive 'honour' of being the only nation to board a hostile aircraft carrier, mid-combat. This, to add even more insult to injury, was carried out by a Uvoanian aircraft carrier.

The actual incident happened on the 1st of June, 1942. A Uvoanian supply convoy, being sent to Midway, got lost following a breakdown in radio contact, and a heavy cloud-cover. They ended up straying nearly 500 miles off-course, and into the path of the aircraft carrier Kaga. The Kaga, believing the Uvoanian convoy to its fleet, began to slip into formation. And the Uvoanian convoy believed the ship was a US carrier.

Both sides realized their mistake when a Uvoanian destroyer captain pointed out the Japanese flag, and promptly torpedoed the Kaga...

Who remained afloat, but slowed dramatically. The captain of Shoan, the Uvoan carrier, ordered his ship to close to boarding distance... Where the dubious battle continued, with a shockingly minimal lost of Uvoanian life.

Using parts from the Kaga, they repaired their own radio, and towed it to Midway, where they would arrive on time to participate in the battle of Midway. In a statement on the Incident, Zkto' Zovban simply said, "I've come to expect craziness where that carrier is involved. This takes the cake however."

Dont forget your spanishdiarcesian lessons.

AN: Seems like quite a misunderstanding, though advantageous. Especially for WW2.

During the Vietnam war, NT joined the allied forces side in 1961. The PRC was the only world power supporting communist forces in Indochina. The war escalated very quickly, in both the north and south of vietnam. Just 2 years after NT entering the war in 1963, a nuclear bomb was dropped by NT onto Hanoi. The force of the nuclear bomb was small, though it decimated the city. The use of the nuclear bomb almost caused a nuclear war between the PRC and NT, called the Vietnam Crisis in NT.

Essentially, what happened after the nuclear bomb was dropped, China made a speech to NT that chinese soldiers were stationed in Hanoi, and if NT did not withdraw forces from vietnam, war on NT would be declared. NT stated in response that China had troops stationed in Hanoi as enemy forces to allied powers, and that the war is a proxy war, therefore, by logic, it was South Vietnam dropping a nuclear bomb on Hanoi, North Vietnam. Due to influence from over the NT border and from Taiwan/ROC, political instability led the PRC to retract the ultimatum and withdraw troops from the Vietnam war.

The Vietnam war ended in 1968, with Vietnam remaining split into north and south. Laos became a socialist state with a constitutional monarchy. Cambodia remained a kingdom, though becoming a constitutional monarchy with a system of government like NT's. South Vietnam's government became more like that of the USA, and remains like that to this day.

Lhm, quite an interesting turn of events. So, I asse, that North Vietnam.in this timeline is as imporvished as North Korea in ours. Also, Laos becoming a constitional monarchy? Khm...


In SC, youth organisations have always been a hot topic. So, in 1990s, a brand new group was created in SC - Republican Vanguards. Similar to Mao's Red Guards, they usually answer only to the leaders/The Party, which means, that their activities can get out of hand easily. In fact, not only other students fear them, but even teachers as well.

In all SC's states combined, their membership is estimated to be in about a couple million. They are active in all education level schools (Except perhaps for preschool, or kindergarten). They usually are ideologically devoted, and their motto states, that they fight fight against SC's "enemies" - "Monarchism, Liberalism, and Capitalism". Although, some have joined with more opportunistic goals, as the position can be quite a big prestige in SC.

Those groups are especially active in universities, but they can usually be deployed at any situation, when leaders deem it as necessary. They harass not only students, but teachers as well, in case if their ideas are deemed as "counter-revolutionary". In fact, once a couple of them stabbed some students with bayonets in SC's Britain for expressing "pro-monarchist opinions". However, they weren't arrested by SC's police for that, rather the opposite - some considered giving a badge for "fighting against "counter-revolutionary" elements"

However, not always their skills, in university itself are very good, so those, who lack the college education, usually enlist in Revolutionary Vanguard at their adult life period, which is involved in breaking apart protests, punishing criminals in public, but also in less public means, like raiding the houses of suspects in night, or distributing propaganda posters, etc. Those, who aren't lucky, have to work in countryside on the fields, or factory jobs.

Youth groups are abominable, the government's duty is to encourage them to further progress their society, not encourage stagnation via promoting soon-to-be outdated views. Even the Technocracy is wary of loyalists.


Even though the Arts & STEM are seen as equal: Art (Music, Food, Literature, etc) is seen as the shield that protects humanity from being forgotten with STEM (includes medicine) being the sword that fights off extinction. STEM progresses human society since our near extinction, automating our species into a post-scarcity society that required a Social Credit and a very authoritarian governing system to encourage innovation and academia, to progress society. Art progresses humanity in defining our social evolution and preserve our identity and what it means to be human (or Terran to be inclusive of Taloans).

Despite such, the government is still run in a very STEM-centric attitude: Efficiency, Academia, and Progress above all else. All who stand against Academia will be Recycled for they threaten our species. The Artists have been trying to seek a more 'compassionate' government, arguing that humanity is far too complex to be properly controlled the way STEM tried to 'protect' us from extinction. While many Artists see the horrors done in the 21st and 22nd century (destroying entire cultures that didn't 'develop' into a new, but still familiar, academic facts-and-research centric Eastern culture being one) to be ''justified" as it did preserve Earth, and in the long-term, human survival (while believing it's still horrible nonetheless), they don't think humanity is in such a need of a "helicopter" parenting government centuries after Liberalism, Communism, and Anarchism (and to an extent, every other Fascist branch but the Technocracy's) was essentially wiped out.

They instead argued for a government that trusts their people to do good, believe that they won't try to destroy Earth again with pseudoscience about how veganism and crystals will magically cure all illnesses. Artists don't believe humans will "devolve" if left alone, they reject the notion that Humanity (unlike Taloans) require a "strict guiding hand" to guide our species. They do believe, however, that should a child be at risk of harm, the parent can intervene, but not helicopter over them. Speaking in analogy.

In a way, STEM is very Confucian in how they see humanity, whereas the Arts lean more Taoist. STEM still believe, centuries later, humans are at risk of extinction and want to protect us from doing anything that'll bring another extinction event. The Arts believe the government should put more trust in humanity, but intervention if it did happen is justified. The STEM leaders usually respond with a "But why wait when they do it when we can preemptively prevent it now?". So far, the Administrator is seen as balancing the two factions of government, her only controversy is including humanities into the discussion as they're often "those other guys" in politics (but revered like every other subjects when it comes to Academia). This is because the Technocracy see the Humanities as "archivers" not really "innovators" and therefore not "Leader material".

I personally believe that the artists have a point, and maybe the government could stand to liberalize a bit over the lives of the people. Though I find it interesting how politics in your world has developed over time with influences from East Asia.

A "commercial" android? Sounds rather capitalist to me. Anyways, that sounds good.

A peculiarity of Aision is the way family names work.

It is costumary that a couple combines their family names into a double-barred name when they marry, with the names being arranged in alphabetic order. In the case of divorce, the divorcees go back to their old name, dropping the ex-spouse's name. Widowers and widows generally keep their married names.

Children inherit the family name coming from the parents that matches their own sex, i.e. a son gets the father's family name and a daughter the mother's.

Example:
When Torund Usophrell and Sophie Waranil married, they became Torund and Sophie Usophrell-Waranil, as U comes before W. Their daughters Sothis and Hokulani bear their maternal family name of Waranil, while their son Elrond bears the paternal family name of Usophrell.

That's interesting. Sounds kinda long, and writing it on documents might take some time, though.


Ministry of Education


Fact time!


*SC's Historian takes a tobacco pipe*

''Not long after the reform established Patagonia as its own region with representation, the question of restoration of Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia was brought up again, and the few remaining loyalists asked for a referendum on this case. The President-Governor of Patagonia back then agreed, and preparations were set. It brought a lot of attention from other SC's states, as if it would be successful, Patagonia would be one of the first monarchies within SC, and it would be also the first case, where something was decided by all citizens, not only the Party's members. (Every citizen, who would be 18 years old or older, and would be born in the region, would have the rights to vote in referendum) However, La Plata was worried about the possible scenario of this, and started preparations for a coup, in order to reinforce jacobinism in Patagonia. While it most of the work on its own, Brazil, and Eastern Columbia also gave a small assistance with better radios, logistics, and weapons.''

''Just a few days before the referendum, La Plata launched its operation, and its supported Patagonian soldiers rose up, seizing control over major military bases, and besieging Rio Gallegos. Success of coup wasn't guaranteed, so La Plata's armies crossed the border under the guise of Patagonian soldiers, and quickly occupied most of the Eastern Patagonia. In some ways, operation was rushed, as La Plata wanted to end it in a few days, because ''otherwise it would attract too much international attention otherwise, and would prove unpopular''. However, the coup was still pretty quick, and ended in a few days, as coup members had seized control of most media, and special units disrupted attempts of loyalists to fight back. Few hours before the official resignation of government, coup participants had started to occupy areas around military bases, and seize new ones - Neuquén was besieged during the last few hours. Garrison in Falklands surrendered after a few hours, but in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands - in a day.''

''Shortly after the coup, a National-Syndicalist government was set up by La Plata, and military received even more power than previously, essentially turning Patagonia into a stratocracy. State of Emergency was put in place after the coup as well, and during it, the coup leaders consolidated their power. After State of Emergency was ended, the new government announced, that ''There will not be any referendum on matter of the monarchy neither in near, or far future''. However, it sparked protests against the cancellation of referendum, and a lot of the protesters gathered in capital. SCPS estimates protester count to be about 7,500, while other sources put it as high as 18,000. In either case, protests were soon suppressed by the Patagonian cavalry division, using the newly achieved LMGs from La Plata's government. However, unlike La Plata expected, relations between the leaders got worse, and soon new government proved to be as assertive as previous one. Protests weren't covered much by SNN, because Tom feared of similar protests elsewhere.''

Man, it just goes to show that whatever you do in the SC universe, things CAN and WILL go out of proportion very quickly, from being besieged before you can finish saying "Oh, shitz!" to protests with ten thousands of people. Also, Patagonia, Persagonia... are the two related in any way? :P




"The Garden" is now coined as the official term by Holly herself for her home. This is indeed a place where laws of physics, chemistry, biology, thermodynamics, etc. all breaks down, and at some points, with enough concentration, even the laws of mathematics can break where, for example, a * b = c, but b * a is NOT c, and these are with a, b, c being simple integers, not matrices or anything complex. In other words, simple arithmetic can break down.

One thing for sure, is that The Garden also has an infinite amount of energy, which, if Holly uses it, can be used to dominate the entire multiverses multiple times over. However, she simply uses this energy for curiosity purposes. The interesting fact is that instead of going primitive and while not allowing outside technology into her place, she sort of recreates her own gadgets and "techno-magic" items from the energy, as well as by reading the millions of books she has gathered from outside worlds.

These include:

- A perpetual motion machine with 300% efficiency, being able to produce more energy than inputted. This obviously violates the law of thermodynamics. Holly once brought this little machine outside of her universe and upon touching the very boundary between her universe and the outside world, the machine immediately disintegrates.

- A jet engine that she constructed with hard lights. It functions just like a typical commercial airline's jet engine, except with one quirk: Simply attaching the engine without running it makes an object fly, while the operating engine would decrease the altitude of the object and pin it to the ground. Anti-airplane? Works outside of The Garden.

- A rotary dialing phone with base-20 numerals. You have to convert a base-10 phone number (eg. 555-1234) into base-20 just to dial it. It works outside of The Garden.

- "Trapped perfume in a box." Forming atoms and molecules from energy (Energy-Mass conversion), Holly managed to make a gas-based perfume that would stay in one spot, even outside of The Garden. It has absolutely no increase in entropy and will not diffuse.

- Modified her own universe's gravity from 9.81 m/s2 to -5000 m/s2, to 1 x 1020 m/s2. With everything being solid but ultimately made out of light, nothing was damaged. Fortunately, no human nor animals from the outside world were around, so they did not end up splattering onto the ground.

- A pseudo nuclear energy bomb that Holly created out of curiosity. "Pseudo" because it was supposed to act like a nuclear bomb with mushroom clouds and everything, but Holly's limited understanding in nuclear physics (FORTUNATELY) hampered her. Not that she was trying to use it anyway. Isolated and controlled test on the Valentian land shows that this "bomb" produces exactly one shiitake mushroom. An ordinary, shiitake mushroom.

All of these are considered harmless but for everyone's safety sake and to prevent such things from being discovered, Holly was told to keep her inventions and meddling inside of her home, since most of these only work in The Garden.

Well, that makes sense, and is interesting to know the word you use in reference. Though, I must ask, have you witnessed any strange events around the island or in the region?

Those pinyin look suspiciously Taiwanese. Other than that, the movie sounds like a fun flick, though it's rather ironic she's that rich while her mother is high up in a communist government. Imho she should surrender most of those assets to the people.

The only reason Heavenly Princess Hyesoo is considered the primary heir to the throne is because she's closer to being 14 than her brother. Once both are above 14 years old, their gender and age becomes irrelevant and one of them will be appointed to be the next monarch by the Heavenly Empresses based on merit upon Cheonsa's death, if he can indeed die.
