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

[Australian rePublic]

Jesus christ, that seems incredibly corrupt and authoritarian. Blocking out any nsfw content at all (What is Cybertron? Tumblr on expired bath salts?), the company just being a mere puppet of the government and collaborating with it to censor any wrongthink... It's the SC, I know, but it's just amazing how corrupt and authoritarian a country can be, in a way.

With the Queendom of Inkopolitia expanding and creating the colony of New Inkopolis (Aka Japan), the presence of Inkopolitia internationally started to change nations, whether for the good or the worse. Originally, Project: Inkopolitian Destiny originated due to the fact of the country facing a brutal recession, as a virus ravaged through Inkopolitia's home continent, the nation was obligated to expand it's borders. The earliest forms of territorial expansion were in the home continent of Inkopolitia, South America, and Inkopolitia ended up gaining access to the lands that were once known as Peru, Colombia and Venezuela.

This sudden jump of resources, coupled with Simona Ito's smart administration, wee enough to eliminate the recession and economic crisis the country was facing. Essentially, Inkopolitia's status as a

That's interesting, considering that most resource based economies become disctatorships. Also, that's a very large empire


(This only applies to the pretenc ountry, not thenreal country, the real country doesn't have this much foresight). Due to Australian rePublic's extreme suseptablilty to floods and drought, and due to the extreme drought ravaging the east of the country right now, Australian rePublic is considering hoating an international comittee to determine the best way to drought-proof the country. On the agenda will be transporting flood water to drought stricken parts of the country, and the best way to store flood water when a flood happens at location X, in order to help sustain location X during a drought. We're still working on the details of the logistics and trying to determine the best incentive to encourage international engineers

[The Islands of Versilia]

Well, that’s definitely something worth commendment. It’s unfortunate RL governments do not have such foresight and tend to display incompetence when it comes to such projects. I hope the projects progresses and succeeds smoothly.

In many parts of the world, particularly Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, vampires are barred from marriage with humans and face discrimination because of their species. In the United States, anti-vampire violence is not unheard of, but it is nowhere near the level of violence and hatred experienced by vampires in North Africa and the ME. Killings, assaults and other crimes are committed against vampires on a common basis in these regions.

Her Majesty Queen Parthena is dedicated to improving vampire rights around the world, and has made this one of her top priorities. Lady Akeldama sponsors a charity that helps vampires in escaping from these violent regions and resettle them in Versilia.

[North German Realm]

I will forever keep wondering how humans can even come to be violent to vampires (unless they're woobified in your canon).

While the war waged violently in other theaters, the main theater of the Great War ("The Great Front" between North and South Germany, a series of trenches that start in France and end all the way in Galicia-Lodemeria) fell silent after the Russian Empire surrendered to the Pact. In fact, outside of a minor campaign led by North Germans to reclaim the territory the Alliance still kept under occupation, the front (and Europe in general) was silent for about six months. While the two sides were still belligerent and had shoot on sight order on their enemies, the soldiers of the both sides came to stop fighting. Pleasantries were exchanged, fallen soldiers and prisoners of war were returned, and in one case, 18 North and South German soldiers were seen getting drunk together in a pub in a city in the No Man's Land, singing Deutschlandlied side by side. This (called the Phony Peace) was propagandized by the anti-war groups in all belligerent countries to call for an official end of the war. When Britain signed the Armistice of Singapur and North Germans thunderously invaded South Germany and occupied Linz, both sides were quite surprised. Thankfully, the war ended the moment Linz fell.

That's quite hilarious. Wars suck.

We once fought against a really vicious berserker group called the Amizans. Amizans were in charge of 4 universes and surprised kitties by invading Universe 39. Feline forces eliminated invaders within 2 minutes. However they could not find where these Amizans were from until 4 months later when we found a way to teleport into Universe 48 which was partly taken by Amizans. Felines gathered FIF from 26 universes, allied with non-Amizan forces in Universe 48 and eradicated Amizan robots there. Then an entrance to Universe 53 was found and feline forces broke into it. From Universe 53 felines broke into Universes 57, 61 and 69 respectively, annihilating anti-life Amizan bots within 3 months. A few Amizan bots escaped to other universes. About 2 months later all known Amizan bots had been destroyed. More than 12 universes have been saved by cats.

[Grand Proudhonia]

All of this talk about cats and warfare has really made me consider putting down the whiskey for good!

Grand Proudhonia is an anarchist society formed around the teachings of Pierre Joseph Proudhon who is largely considered to be the father of political anarchism and the philosophy of mutualist anarchism. Mutualist Anarchism is a form of anarchist society in which the means of production are controlled by the workers through democratically controlled cooperative firms which compete within a free and open market. It furthermore pushes for the distribution of property through a occupation use basis which essentially means that property belongs to the individuals who work and live on said property (eliminating the idea of rent). It also suggests the wide spread use of credit unions that will loan at incredibly small interest rates that are enough to cover basic operation of said credit union.

[The Srovsk State]

Let's see if this new idea can function as well as intended

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


What lead to the rise of Srovsk as a superpower is the downfall of other major nations. The 2nd Continental War during 1945 left many states to economic and military ruin, some suffering the fate of collapse while others enduring revolution. Srovsk did not participate in this war under the order of the Prime Minister and as a result have broken all of it's mutual assistance treaties with other nations. Despite betrayal, Srovsk was able to take advantage of weakened nations by annexation or puppets. Srovsk puts up numerous communist states and have issued rebuilding process in those nations in what is known as "10 year rebuilding sphere" and it is done to strengthen the ties of the new communist countries with each other and the motherland. The United Federation of Amarina, a capitalist nation, looked at the communists with envy and have sought to rebuild themselves in order to combat them and the same goes for other nations.

[North German Realm]

So was Srovsk located on the continent? Because if it was, I don't see how it wasn't involved. If it was on another continent, then yeah. Not getting involved in destructive wars that lay waste to everyone else is the easiest way to become a great power

Quite a way to start and end a war.

In Palmyrion, wages and salaries are negotiated via the Regional Tripartite Wages and Salaries Board of every province. Palmyrion uses a progressive income taxation system, with tax rate varying from 10% to 20% according to income percentile above the poverty threshold. Those who are below the poverty threshold avail of a basic income guarantee which has a basis on progressive negative income taxation as proposed by economist Milton Friedman.

The equation for the rate of income tax a person has to pay is as follows:

Rate = [(Percentile/100) x 10] + 10

Thus the amount of income tax a person has to pay is as follows:

Total income tax = (Rate/100) x Gross Taxable Income

The Dragons in Kaa'ra are quite different than what most people think they are, on Kaa'ra they are covered in massive feathers, they walk on all fours with each limb having a claw that they can use to grasp things.
They are also divided into four types, or well, four spectrums really.
The first ones are the Kurajin, the ancient, intelligent demi-deities, that now range in their powers and intelligence, most of them are those who followed Krilla and Kulgyair during the fall, and for doing so have been rewarded, some even with godhood!
Their curse, however, is that they will always desire a return to power, and only through true devotion they can avoid becoming a beast.
Then there are the Kluyahir, also known as the beast Kurajin, their soul was greatly reduced by Krilla and Kulgyair as punishment for fighting each other and finding ways to shatter each other's souls, they are essentially animals, animals the size of a house with an appetite to suit.
Then there are the Fallen, or the Jugarit, they are the Kurajin who went with Krilla after the split between her and Kulgyair, unlike the white and ethereal servants of Kulgyair, the Fallen have black and dark purple feathers, they are much weaker and smaller, however excel in the arcane arts and anything related to magicka thanks to the blessing of Allena, some of the Jugarit are also beastlike, and akin to the Kluyahir are used as mounts by Ayissoran cavalry.
Finally, there are the Undecided, those who chose no side, the Nujahir, they are forced to serve lesser beings as a punishment for not choosing a side, for their indecisiveness their fate will now be decided.

Both Ayissorans and Nirueani use dragon mounts, most of them are beasts, however, elite units use either Fallen or Ancients for the sake of combat efficiency, in some rare cases Ancients and Fallen act as advisors to certain figures, or companions, even.

Very, very interesting. I see you've spent some time creating your lore. I really like the idea of the fact that there are four different types of dragons, and I also like how they all heave their own strengths and weaknesses. You've expanded on the standard dragon type alot, and I both like and applaud you for that.

In Arillia, all of the drones and other such systems are controlled by a massive A.I. known simply as S.Y.S.T.E.M. that has immense computational power, equal to that of a star, because it is actually simply a master command node for a Matrioshka Brain, a gigastructure built around a star and is the size of a solar system that uses the star to fuel calculations and even generate virtual worlds. S.Y.S.T.E.M. holds command over almost every type of drone, bar Synths, because they're technically not drones. S.Y.S.T.E.M. can only limitedly interface with Dominators and Exterminators (name is W.I.P.), because no-one wants out of control V.A.T.S. and mobile siege weapons. S.Y.S.T.E.M. controls a series of drones, with each one dedicated a perfected for a single task. Occasionally, there are more than one drone for a task, but they will be designed to go about it in a different way (such as an assault drone vs a covert assault drone). The Drones are generated by a matter fabricator, in which S.Y.S.T.E.M. regularly scraps garbage, turning it into energy, before reconstructing the energy into drones.

In addition, S.Y.S.T.E.M. also acts as a part of the government, and regularly advises and/or helps the Ministers of the government (and other groups) in their tasks, such as balancing the education budget, and keeping the environment in check. This doesn't apply for the finance department, where S.Y.S.T.E.M. is in fact the Finance Minister, as an A.I. is much more suited for finance than an organic being. If the government is threatened by collapse, S.Y.S.T.E.M. can take command of the areas the are in danger of 'collapse', this can even extend to the entire government. This command only lasts until people can be found for those lost positions, once found and confirmed, S.Y.S.T.E.M. will relinquish its control over those divisions of the government.

S.Y.S.T.E.M. in addition to controlling basically ever type of drone, also controls all the electrical systems present on board ships, boats, and even buildings. Because S.Y.S.T.E.M. can make much more precise computations than an organic ever could, it can also assume control of the vessels in order to complete complicated manoeuvres, such as the Stellar Slingshot. It can also manifest itself as a three-dimensional hologram if needed, if it needs to physically or directly interact with something or someone for instance instead of just communicating "passively" instead of "actively".

What the fudge? Why would an AI the size of a star use outdated, drones, a 21st Century technology that was obsolete millenia ago? Further, SYSTEM controls all drones? What about recreational drones? What if someone wants to free fly a drone? Further? You're place your entire economy on an AI, what if AI turns evil? You've essencially made coups impossible

There are many beaches in Australia, which can be considered to have the whitest sand in the world. These include White Haven Beach, in the Whitsunday Islands, QLD, Callala Beach, Shoalhaven, NSW, Hyams Beach, Shoalhaven, NSW and many, many other beaches. Whilst all these have extremely white sand, nobody knows which is the whitest, because there's neber been any official measures

Due to the Yeglan Navy's largely submersible composition, several misconceptions with regards to their combat doctrine and capabilities have arisen. They do not, in fact, operate as a standard submarine fleet - while such strategies remain possible, Yeglan combat doctrine treats submersible capabilities as a tool for clandestine entry, repositioning and escape. Yeglan vessels will typically surface to fire, as their Kinetic Batteries may only be deployed above water. To compensate for generally lackluster armor when compared to surface ships, Yeglan vessels boast universally-fitted Electromagnetic Reactive Plating, alongside heavy CIWS coverage. They also rarely get within firing distance of most traditional navies - as their primary armaments are specifically designed for the maximization of engagement range, they are typically seen surfacing too far from an enemy fleet to be struck by return fire, while still retaining the capability for focused bombardment. If the targets draw too close, the ships may simply submerge and relocate to another favourable firing position. While enemy missiles may match the Yeglan fleets in range, these are generally dealt with via the aforementioned CIWS armaments, which are fitted onto practically every class of Yeglan vessel in significant quantities. Protection from enemy railguns and other extreme-range hypervelocity assets is generally provided by dedicated "caster ships" fitted with Thaumic Focusing Arrays.

This strategy of engagement allows Yeglan fleets to consistently harrass and eliminate enemy naval assets, while remaining out of harm's way themselves.

It was Borgovia's eugenics program that influenced Nazi Germany's Lebensborn, the only difference is that Borgovia is a consumerist, media-centric, hedonistic society hellbent on achieving perfection in beauty, wealth, luxuries, and such while Nazi Germany's a militaristic genocidal Empire hellbent on 'purifying' Germany and Europe from stains.

Borgovia's "Vita Auream" program is neutering all the 'physically undesirable' people, uplifting the poor who are deemed 'beautiful', force 'ugly' women to abort their child, and went as far as seizing property and then neutering minorities (mainly Slavic, German, and Blacks of non Ethiopian/Malian descent) who are considered incapable of achieving beauty, later used in experiments or labor. Poor Germans but considered 'beautiful' will be uplifted and forcibly Latinized, because they're near perfect, they just need the 'perfect culture'. Borgovia's end goal is a nation where even the most infirm are beautiful, intelligent, creative, and able to acquire wealth to promote even more beauty. Being a 'Creator' & 'Civilized' (Latin, Sinosphere, Indosphere, Egyptian, Levant, Berber, Persian, Incan, Mayan, Ethiopian, Malian, and Aztec descendants) doesn't spare you, however if you're not considered 'beautiful' or 'intelligent'. Oftentimes, the privileged races who aren't considered beautiful/intelligent/well off will be degraded to work in the shadows or they can volunteer for surgical experiments that later became plastic surgery. Less privileged races (Slavs, Germanics, Nordics, Non-Ethiopian/Malian Blacks, Nomadic Native Americans, etc) are subjected to genocidal experiments or neutered. Their end goal is the elimination of ugly, dumb, poor people.

Nazi Germany took this and turn it into a weapon of genocide, not a 'Social artwork'. When Berlin fell and VE was celebrated, a Corpus Board member commented "Of course brutish apes stood no chance. We have the blood of Caesar and Sun Quan in our veins! Our bodies, our history, beauteous to behold. Much unlike the subhumans who destroyed Rome". Borgovian troops also took to the streets with Soviet troops in Berlin committing horrendous acts towards German women and young soldiers who surrendered, believing their only purpose is to serve the superior, more beautiful people who have blessed them with language, philosophy, art, etc. This racist, elitist view was later used towards the USSR during the Cold War. The 'Vita Auream' program was put to an end after 1957 when the reformed Government, now a Liberal Democracy, considers it inhumane and have made reparations to affected families.

Unfortunately, the effect still remains: Borgovia is still a highly hedonistic, consumerist, superficial society where people would commit suicide or suffer mental illness because they don't meet society's impossible beauty standards. Although modern Borgovians are superficially, by social standards, very attractive people (because all the ugly ones are killed or neutered), it's "never enough" and the lust to constantly want more beauty, more wealth, more parties, have left young Borgovians in a distorted state.

[Ayissor]

A society that is too hedonist and selfish will eventually destroy itself, while not all are worthy of life in a City of Gold, all humans are deserving of life, and to kill your own is the greatest insult to the creation of Krilla and goes against the blessing of Allena.
The Vrahulen in our world made the same mistakes, they insulted the gods, they thought they were above them and could play god, retribution was swift and brutal, and shall serve as an example to all mortals. My hope is that your gods forgive you for your actions, if not, then I feel sorry for your future, because the gods are likely planning a fitting and ironic punishment already.

The pre-industrial armies of Ayissor were made up entirely of women, the reason behind that is prior to the invention of the crystalstaff (A gun that shoots a unique crystal), the women serving in the armies of Ayissor were witches, it dates back to Allena's godhood, who convinced Krilla that men, being servants of the old monarchs, were undeserving of leading the new nation, and that Midnight occult, made up mostly of women, were the ones who liberated humanity from the old monarchs.
Why is the army made up entirely of sorcerers though? It can't be entirely cultural? Well, it's also because of who they are fighting.
Humanity is often fighting the Nirueani, in a one on one fight against the average Nirueani, the average human male would be torn to shreds, as the Nirueani are 8 feet tall, mighty beings, with claws instead of hands, to them a human male is but a clawless child.
However, the Nirueani are notorious for being poor mages, put simply, the average Nirueani cannot comprehend magic, let alone use it, while the average human can, allowing them to wear special armors and wield heavy weapons to stand a chance against a much more powerful being.
Men instead took up physical jobs in the home front, smiths, builders, miners, haulers, many of them assisted by witches as well.
In the modern era, with a growing population, and with the invention of crystalstaffs, men have taken up jobs on the frontlines, however, they are still a minority.

[Silver Commonwealth]

Opinion:Khm, that's an interesting dynamic. I see some parallels between real world and your world in a way, with men slowly starting to appear more in spheres, which previously were dominated by women (Fighting with magic), while divide still remains.

Two facts into one this time, please react to both if possible.

Fact time!

''1. In SC's timeline, OUN fought against both Third Reich, and Russian Empire's army by using asymmetrical tactics, and partisan warfare in Ukrainian territory. However, after WW2 eventually came to an end, OUN primarily focused on fighting against Empire's armies, and lasted until mid 50s, when most of it was eradicated by NKVD special units, while dissenting sentiment remained in Empire's controlled Ukraine for much of its existence. During the Great Nuke War (A nuclear exchange between the three superstates, and although it didn't completely destroy civilization, it still hurt all three superstates a lot), OUN's remnants used the chaos to rise up in an uprising in Eastern Ukraine, but were crushed again after a few day fighting, when the Great Nuke War came to an end. After the collapse of RNGOC and Empire, OUN's successors came out of hiding, and although a centralized state was never really established, there was a loose confederacy of local villages, which both fended off the raiders, which now were common in the former Empire's territories. OUN, similarly to many other pre-collapse organizations, was integrated by SC's authorities following the Scramble for the World, and when it came to the conference about European Federation's future borders, it was one of the groups which got invited, as it was a strong sign, that they could become the main governors of one of SC's Europe's regions. While Kayden (President-Governor of European Federation) initially supported the OUN's idea of a Greater Ukraine, Tom had other plans on the territory - Bessarabia was ceded to the Balkan region, which also included the Odessa Oblast, Eastern Commonwealth received most of the western Ukraine, in combination with western Belarus, and while Ukrainian region got Crimea, OUN's claims on western Caucasus got rejected in favor of the Cossacks, which later carved out their own Federation's region out of Caucasus. Still, OUN got parts of Russia out of talks, and eastern part of Belarus. However, it meant working with an another nationalist movement, which was centered around Belorussian identity and language, so Rutheno-Ukrainian region's politics are usually full with tensions, as OUN, and Black Cats (Another group, which emerged out of two superstate collapse) rarely agree with each other on decisions, and a separatist war remains a possibility. Relations with Eastern Commonwealth (Basicaly Poland) are also very tense, as leadership of both regions often brings up atrocities of each side during WW2 against its populaces.''

''2. Although American Football has been SC's America's favorite sport for a long time, Biathlon has slowly started to compete with it during the last years, due of various military leaders of SC saying, that ''Biathlon prepares youngsters for military service better than football'', resulting in promotion of Biathlon in various Megastates. It is also not only a phenomenon of SC's America - Biathlon is being popularized in SC's Canada, European Federation, Siberia, Ring of Fire, and other northern regions. Even some of the southern, and equatorial regions (like Australasian Confederation, South America, Indian Confederacy, etc.) have shown interest in the sport, albeit not as high as the northern countries, and sports like cricket, baseball, table tennis, and wrestling are still more popular in those places. Overall, Biathlon has experienced an explosive popularity boom in just a few years, as just a decade before it wasn't nearly as popular in SC as it is now. However, some are concerned about Biathlon's future, because just like in OTL, SC's Earth is starting to warm up (Albeit its average temperature is still lower than in OTL, but only because SC's world in general is behind the OTL in both era, and development in a way), and in future, it might be hard to organize winter sports in general, not only Biathlon. Some suggest, that in such case, ''Biathlon would need to be replaced with running distance with a rifle, and shooting targets instead''.''

[Skyhooked]

1. Perhaps OUN felt being screwed over for some time, as their prime clain is Galicia region. Well, if they decide to go loko over the lands, and fight Eastern Commonwealth, the Tom computer is to blame. Still, they got Crimea, a rather nice place to live actually. Either way, they could be one of the weaker links, if Silver Commonwealth suddenly decides to collapse.

2. Maybe, make Biathlon, but with water ski? And hittin' targets, while moving? This will definitely make people damn good shots. After all, in real combat, targets won't just stand still. And... there is also a hope, that all this global warming is just a natural cycle, or it's exaggerated. Indeed, nature holds countless of mysteries.

People of Skyhooked for some reason, have several biological quirks.

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, so exposure to the elements is something, they don't really mind.

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 adrenaline junkies.

[Neu Nederland]

Heh, evolution at its finest. It sees humans won't change their lifestyle, so it adapts to their lifestyle instead. As it has been, So it will be.

Among the other states of the Dutch Empire, New Netherland has the worst relationship with Suriname, its fellow colonial state in the American Supercontinent. This poor, chilly relation is caused by the conflict of interest the two have in trade. While it is in New Netherland's best interests to weaken the Caribbean Trade Node as much as possible in order to maintain its trading power in the Chesapeake Bay, nearly 75% of Suriname's trade moves from the Caribbean Sea and without the Caribbean, it can't maintain a chokehold in the slave trade (Triangular Trade between Guinea, Europe, and the Caribbeans). It of course doesn't help that Suriname's primarily a plantation colony and thus built by slavery while New Netherland's is trade and industrial which has no need for slavery. Due to these differences (and more), the two states almost consistently vote against each other in the Dutch States General in the Hague.

[Wendoslavia]

Hmm, I’m honestly surprised at intercolonial rivalry. I hadn’t thought of that before. I can’t say I at all like Suriname, slavery is a disgusting practice that should be cursed to the annals of history. I hope the Empire puts its foot down on Suriname in the near future.

Although Wendoslavia is a democratic republic, its state religion is Catholicism. Catholic values, beliefs and attitudes are deeply ingrained in the Wendoslav identity, reinforced by a predominantly Catholic education system. Other religions (Islam, paganism, etc) are tolerated, though proselytism is practically illegal. In the past, Protestants were persecuted and oppressed by the state. This changed when international pressure forced Wendoslavia to lift its state-sanctioned religious oppression.

However, Protestants remain distrusted, discriminated against and are negatively stereotyped by much of the population. Foreign Muslims (those not of Tatar, Lipka heritage) are also discriminated against, facing great difficulties in establishing new mosques and centres of Islam unless under the tutelage of a Lipka Muslim.

[Las Palmeras]

Not very surprising; we're also Catholics. And Protestantism is also viewed badly here as our intellectuals and scholars have linked Calvinism to racism and American Exceptionalism. Though Russia is beneficial to us, we can understand how a large Orthodox power near you can be a detriment to your sovereignty. Only natural Catholicism is part of your identity.

Though Las Palmeras is nominally Catholic, it's built on around 80 years of quick conversions that happened in the 16th Century. The Catholic Church's zealousness after the Counter-Reformation didn't apply full force as the Inquisition had no jurisdiction over recently-converted pagans (most of the population) and could only act against heresies when it involved mixed-race people who'd theoretically be completely Christian. However actually defining who was mixed-race or not (even when the mixed populace rose) was legally difficult as native mothers claimed children as wholly neko even when their Spanish fathers were around. Combined with a conceptual gap between languages and cultures, dogma was very hard to force into the general populace. And when Catholic dogma was instilled into the populace, it was often surely mixed with local beliefs and customs.

So in all practical reality...Folk Catholicism is the predominant religion in Las Palmeras, followed by animistic beliefs.

I don't think the Catholic Church allows admission to cats, dude. And, that's racist

What is everyone's obession with freakin' nekos, is it some beastiality thing?

In winter Australia's mainland has an area of frequent, skiable snow. This snow covered region is larger than Switzerland. We also have Tasmania, our large island state, a significant chunck of which has significant snowfalls

They're just humans...with...animal like ears and a tail.
The justification is a historical joke, about the cynocephali (dog-headed savages) mentioned by Pliny the Elder who live in Asia, a book that would have been widely known by Scholastic friars out of the High Middle Ages when the Age of Discovery was just beginning. Colombus was skeptical about them but believed he landed in Asia. Conquistadors like Cortes actually believed in the cynocephali...y'know...because many Europeans in the 16th Century still had a very Medieval mindset. Though fantasy, the "catgirls" were identified as the dog-headed savages. And because of Christian Teratology, the logical conclusion for their existence would have been that they're a cursed missing tribe of Israel, but human nonetheless that had to be civilized. IRL, that's what many Church officials considered the Native Americans to be from and how they justified subjugation.

Yes, it's all incredibly racist and colonialist, but that's the point. Congratulations. You saw past the "kawaii desu ne?" crap associated with catgirls to hit the essence of Las Palmeras./SKIP

Snowfall in Australia, eh? How is that possible? Perhaps there's a slight change in geography? I mean, snow has to come from somewhere cold or high altitude. Wind and climate has a lot to do with that too, and hopefully it has a place to cool down in Australia.

In the 17th century (1600s), Kraicia and the Netherlands once had a small economic war better known as, the Flower Wars. The Kraicians had their roses, while the Dutch had their tulips. While the two nations were economic partners, this didn't stop them from having economic competition among each other.

The Dutch were untouchable when it came to tulips, but Kraician roses were more affordable and in large quantity. But both flowers had a large amount of customers, and most importantly, both had economic bubbles waiting to burst. The Tulip Crisis in the 1630s was an economic disaster that barely put a dent in the Dutch economy, but Kraicia had an even bigger economic disaster not far behind.

By the early 1650s, the Kraician Rose Bubble gradually bursts, nearly replicating an echo of the Dutch Tulip Bubble burst. Unlike the Tulip Crisis, Kraicia and all of Europe was affected by the Rose Crisis, losing millions of investment money from a slowly dying market over the course of years. If the Tulip Mania ended with a sudden bang, the Rose Mania ended with a slow fizzle.

This was also the first time that Kraicia suffered its own large scale economic disaster, concurrent with its own bank panics and bankruptcies.

[Inkopolitia]

Woah, okay. Chopping a part off your economy off and throwing your entire continent into an economic crisis because of some flowers is an absolute power move.

Inkopolis is characterized by having a fast-paced, leisure-oriented culture. Many of the other major Inkopolitian cities, such as Woomy, Ngyes, and Veemo, all have this distinction too, but Inkopolis has the distinction of this fast-paced, technological culture. The rise of Inkopolis as a city that resembles our world's Tokyo, has to do with the Inkopolitian Cultural Revolution of 1900. While most Humans think that Turf Wars and ink-centric combat in general was always a part of Inkopolitian culture, this was not the case. Prior to 1900, Turf Wars were mostly a niche sport, for the most part, only practiced as part of Religious ceremonies to please The Woomy.

However, all of this was flipped on it's head as the year of 1900, and the 20th century with it, rolled around: As Inkopolitia became an industrialized country, and with the leadership of Marie Kali, the citizens of Inkopolitia, mostly Inklings and Humans (At the time, since the First Octoling Migration Wave started in 1942), had more time to do leisure activities. This caused for Kali's approval rate to skyrocket, as Inklings, biologically, have their brain engineered to be more relaxed and leisure-oriented, and Humans got the legal recognition they fought for after the remains of Human civilization in South and Central America moved to Inkopolitia.

Today, Inkopolis enjoys Inkopolitia's highest life expectancy, economic dominance over Inkopolitia, and other feats, all originating from the Cultural Revolution in the 20th century. All Inkopolitian videogame and tech companies, such as Kalamari Ink(tm), NEON(tm) and the newly-formed Woductia (The creators of Minecraft: Order of the Stone, the game that has been breaking videogame sales records (And yes, in this timeline, Inkopolitia invented Minecraft)), and others, have all of their headquarters located in Inkopolis.
