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

[Alternate United States of America]

That's interesting.

---

The Prime Minister, Ariella Aitken, is half Afrikaner (Dutch South African). Her mother emigrated from Pretoria in the 1980s during the Apartheid era.

Sounds great

During the 2020 presidential election Andrew Pence promised if elected he would push congress for statehood of Puerto Rico and District of Columbia. With Puerto Rico becoming a state in May 2021 and DC in November 2021.

At least both places got what they should have gotten a while ago.


The process for a law is that it goes through the Althing (Parliament) and if it gets passed, it goes to a referendum for the citizens to vote on it.

[Karamiko]

Neat!

All but a handful of our citizens live in one of 23 cities, each home to 60,000-100,000 people.

[Ammaroth]

Sounds like it could get quite cramped at times! What an interesting place though! I bet there is a lot to see in every single one of those cities and a lot of stories to be told.

---

63% of Ammarothi citizens identify as vegetarian, pescetarian or vegan.

If they want to be vegetarians, pescetarians, or vegans, they can be.


Valgora has incredibly libertarian gun laws.
The only laws that exist are no explosives (but there are exceptions) and one must be 16 to conceal carry and purchase ammunition and guns, but any age can use a gun.

[Freed Lymonia]

that's pretty crappy for their health. what dumbasses.


Lymonian corporation Ammunation is the primary arms seller and producer world wide

That's pretty good

With the victory of the CSA in the American Civil War in 1865, the states of California, Washington, and Oregon left the Union and formed the Empire of Pacifica in June 1866. In March 1868 the CSA, Pacifica, and the United Kingdom formed an alliance to take over the remaining US states. The war lasted from 1868-1904 and resulted in the collapse of the US. The UK got most their colonies back and more territories, the CSA got the Midwestern states, and Pacifica got the Western United States.

[Persagonia]

Why would a fellow American kill another fellow American? Civil wars are like this, men kill other men of the same blood.

---

Persagonia is considered as the breadbasket of the Middle East, with Persagonia having the largest agricultural industry in the Middle East. Persagonia earned this title thanks to advancements in agricultural science and land reforms where many of the country's vast desert are being turned into grasslands for families to manage a farm on. A popular agricultural export of Persagonia are fruits, nuts, caviar and spices. They are noted for being high-quality. They don't import food but instead relies on local farmers, which makes Persagonia self-sustaining. Their largest agricultural export partners are Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Turkey.

The idea of turning large portions of desert into farmland in the first place is impressive on its own.

Despite having a strict no-religion stance, Nantoraka's citizens and government have a near religious belief in crewting the perfect man-machine hybrid.

[Eisenhurst]

Man-machine hybrid? Hello? We're over here? *waves* Just kidding...

---

Mechanical Dictator is also called "The Core Processor" (for being the processor which is connected to every others via Hive Mind), "The Bundestag" (for being the government itself) and "The Father" (for building the factories which made the existing citizens in the country).

[Netherspace]

I’m getting a Hitler vibe from this...

The last time someone mention hentai while Naralka was in the room, a “completely natural” earthquake swallowed up their house while they were sleeping. Their house was not built on a fault line.

If someone goes nuts over "hentai" maybe they shouldn't be in a position of power

Much of the Nantorakan agriculture is based around the usage of edible mushrooms, which are easy to grow and have quite the yield. Nearly every citizen in Nantoraka grows edible mushrooms for cooking their dinner with.

[Free American Empire-]

I don't dislike mushrooms, but I personally wouldn't want to eat them every day.

---

There's a special unit, called ''Black Skulls'', who are mostly used in enforcing law in main territories, but can be deployed in battlefront as well. Their armor is completely back, and helmets have drawn skulls on them. Their warcry is ''Kill them all'', and they usually are one from the most cruel soldiers in battlefront. They are also infamous for brutal treatment of prisoners, and terrorizing citizens.

[Bluelight-R006]

Woah... what a group. I’d hate them.

If you squeeze all our soldiers in the army into one space, they would take up a size equivalent to about 9-11% of the Box. Take our assets and squeeze them as well and they’d all take up a size equivalent to about 2% of the Existence. (Check those -verses in the factbooks)

[Pax Cybertronian]

That's interesting, especially the reference to a component of the computer.

AN: Well, your military must be extremely large for it to encompass 2% of existence when unified.

One of the Decepticons' worst atrocities was the Simanzi Massacre, which occurred in the first cycle, 3178. The Crucible was installed within the centre of the southern hemisphere of Cybertron, specifically in Dodecahex, which had been recently conquered by Gutcruncher's Decepticons. As with many military campaigns, a number of Made-to-Order soldiers such as Riptide were created specifically to fight in it. The Wreckers, however, ignored it in favour of chasing Squadron X. God Magnus was killed five miles from the Crucible in the first year of the conflict, dying valiantly against a battalion of Decepticon troopers while he and Rotorstorm had waded through a muddy much of some kind in an attempt to evade a squadron of Cybernoughts but were caught unawares. Magnus was gunned down and Minimus Ambus, inspired by God Magnus's valiant death, chose to become Ultra Magnus.

The Crucible caused some kind of superheating of the planet's entire southern hemisphere, requiring some length of time to cool down. The planet still burnt your feet in cycle 3180. Autobots, Neutrals, and even Decepticons were crucified near the Crucible and were thus melted by the horrific machination on the orders of the D.J.D., Shockwave, Starscream, and even Megatron himself. By the time it finally cooled a decade later, 99% of the planet was now under Decepticon control and half of Cybertron's population had died, which didn't satisfy Megatron, who wanted all organics and Autobots throughout the galaxy to die. As such, Megatron had ordered his men to set up a network of Star Harvesters and Crucibles to burn and eradicate any Decepticons who refused his rule.

Unfortunately for him, the Autobots responded with the Endless Retaliation and destroyed the network, and the tide was turned. History would call this the second closest Megatron he'd ever come to winning, next to his actual victory in the Battle for Iacon, leading to the Autobots on Cybertron being forced to surrender.

Then-Decepticon Optimus Prime, who was already having doubts about the Decepticons, was horrified by the events and defected. He rescued as many of the would-be victims, totalling well over a thousand before he was forced into stasis lock by Overlord. Just before this, Optimus gave out a speech to several of the Decepticons condemning the actions of Megatron, calling him a "manipulative, cruel tyrant" who sought for nothing less than " to sate his ego". Several other Decepticons - including the likes of Ironhide, Pyro, Fire Convoy and Road Rage - chose to defect with Optimus and join the Autobots in the war against the Decepticons.

This was especially surprising, as Megatron had several of the more important dissenters brainwashed via Shadowplay or, at worse, Empurata, (which would ostracise them since it denoted them to be inferior). The less important to the Empire's dissenters were just outright executed.

Optimus even fought Megatron himself in an attempt to stop him from launching a Cruicble onto Caminus just before he was forced into stasis lock, and he would have defeated him had Megatron not installed the Achilles Virus into his brain module, preventing Optimus from defeating him. Meanwhile, many other Autobots would gain fame for their actions: Rotorstorm's timely intervention saved the 9th Autobot Battalion from annihilation, earning him the Novic Medal for Outstanding Valour. Decorated war hero Countdown was involved enough would call him "Simanzi Countdown", and Fortress Maximus became famous for the amount of Decepticons he killed at Simanzi, which didn't exactly help his already-damaged sanity.

Long after the battle, some survivors simply noted it as one of their biggest events. Others were left mentally scarred: Rotorstorm was so haunted by what he saw that he had to create a 'cover personality' to compensate and Pyro's road to primus apotheosis began at the crucible. Fortress Maximus would recount that he walked away from Simanzi with a smile. The Massacre was such an evil act on the behalf of the Decepticons that, years later, anti-High Lord Autobots and dissenters would use it to show others the true nature of the Decepticons.

[Cradlehurst]

Understandable. Deceptacons must be destroyed for such an atrocity.

Though the world had been in utter chaos for over 2 centuries, the Internet and other pieces of Old Britain remained. New countries have arisen, taking control of power plants and IT hubs.

Now, the world largely functions as before, but with different countries and geopolitical climates.

[Freed Lymonia]

that's a rather large wall of text.


Lymonian intervention in the american revolutionary war caused a semi ww1 esque event because they went thru the Nordic waters to get to us causing them to fight the British, Russia and Germany thought they could get a lot of land by invading us so they allied with England, Spain was overall neutral but aiding us, and that was only the main people involved.

[Stanier]

I see interventionism as a bad thing...

---

Stanier's signature alcoholic drink is the "Bay Blinder", which is a mix of Whiskey, Brandy, Beer, Wine and Cola, the drink originated on the city of Empire Bay as the name suggests, the drink has a really high alcoholic grade, being able to drunk you up in less than three glasses, but because of this high alcoholic grade the drink is also able to kill you, a great example of the power of the "Bay Blinder" is Lincoln Simpson, who in 1975 drank ten glasses of the drink, leaving him on a coma that killed him 2 days after...

Civilization is overrated. Being a raider is easy and fun for all parties involved.
Except the raided, but if you can't protect your stuff then you were asking for it :')

Edit:
'Simpson' is a fitting last name for him, now that I think of it.


Nantoraka allows the usage of marijuana and alcohol - but only at home. If you are driving or walking and you are intoxicated, you're probably going to be chucked into internment.

[Ammaroth]

When driving it's understandable but when out walking that's a bit much. Unless they are disturbing the peace I guess.

The current Primus, Temperance Howell, was awarded a medal for bravery when he was in high school for saving a toddler from a burning building.

[Zitravgrad]

Well-deserved, what a brave man.

Since many people are kinda shocked by some of our policies, allow us to explain how they work in action.
ID chips - Unlike the policy tab suggests, it is NOT installed beneath the skin, but rather on name tags for those who work in state-run industry (which is nearly everyone who is employed.)
Child labor - "Pioneer Youth" is an extracurricular activity which resembles Boy/Girl Scouts and they are usually assigned to do public service like cleaning public parks.
Slavery - Only to prisoners, who will be demanded to work in industry sector, and get paid for that.

Official Nantorakan seal of approval

The lights that the police use are not blue and red, but rather purple and gold - purple of the Nantorakan flag and gold for the Nantorakan military.

[Stanier]

Well, that could be confusing for some tourist...

In Stanier, the majority of the vehicles on circulation seem to be manufactured during the 1940s to the late 1960s, although it isn't this way, since car companies noticed that designs from this periods have proven quite successful with the Stanierian populace, so they stuck with them, adapting them to current the environmental and safety laws, also innovating with new tech tweaks.

Hell yeah, libertarian buddies!

the president of Serpenteum has owned 4 dogs, 3 snakes, 6 frogs, 1 centipede and 10 hamsters but has never owned a cat.
