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

[Viksberg]

We've had a civil war too, but it was the Royal Army against The Red Guards. You've probably guessed which side won...



This week, General Secretary Nikita Perminov and his Maoist supporters conducted a non-violent coup. With the military on their side, they took over the Assembly Building of the People's Council and declared Nikita as the Great Leader. Although Nikita has assured that he and his supporters won't execute those who opposed this coup, a couple of nations have already condemned this coup, seeing it as undemocratic.


EDIT (forgot to write this before submitting...): The coup was conducted because the Marxist-Leninists refused to work with the Maoists. Running the country was impossible, and something had to be done. Great Leader Nikita Perminov has said that this new government isn't permanent, as it's purpose is to run the country until new elections are held.

[Oswyn Islands]

That is utterly undemocratic and against the ideals of communism. Power to the people, huh?
How very hypocritical.

Despite opposition from most of the world, the Paradiesinseln Freikorps (our fascist party) openly runs in elections and has 5 seats out of 100 in the Gebildetenrat.
It is still viewed with neutrality at best and civil opposition at worst by the population.

[Crysuko]

As long as they are kept from gaining any signficant power, that's fine.

In the closing days of the second civil war, the reactionary militia CVF was systematically crushed. Most notably at the battle of Malaan ridge in which over 5000 of them were either killed or captured, they were exausted, starving and in poor supply. The government forces suffered fewer than 500 casualties, The ones who surrendered were put in a prison facility designed specifically for them, where they bitterly stew over being routed to this day.

Well, I'm glad to see that this IC Anna is evil as ever! I won't have a competition if there's no one to compete with!

OOC-wise, this little garden is based on my childhood, with the IC bit being that there's an endless dimension inside it. It was dedicated to my very first home, which I have had quite a lot of memories about. Too bad cameras were not as good in those days...

I also have dreams (or daydreams, actually) about a forest, just one happy, lonely girl inside, content with the nature and the trees that were around. Since a human girl in a vast forest could potentially go over to horror-theme, and since I had this wallpaper from the web, I decided to make her a light-based being.

[The Atlantean Islands]

That's nice.

The British Royal Family owns a palace in a picturesque area near Atlantis City. It was given to the family for free in celebration of Queen Elizabeth's 50th Regnal Anniversary.

[Oswyn Islands]

That’s awesome. I do like palaces.

The special forces of Oswyn Islands is the Spezialjägergruppen (Special Hunter Groups), which also have naval and airforce divisions.

[The Great-German Empire]

Special Forces are integral to a modern fighting force. Good on you!

The German Empire's large science budget has varied in its composition over the years. Until several years ago, it was mostly invested in the energy and weapons industries to help the Military develop its ship railgun on time for the the nuclear battlecruiser SMS Thor's debut on the 145th anniversary of the Empire, in 2016. Nowadays, nuclear fusion research is the primary focus.

[Diarcesia]

Commendable

On 25 March 2013, the boat-houses (clan mafias) of Losphortoene were thought to be defeated for good by law enforcement due to the high-profile arrests of the feuding leaders shortly after what appeared to be a botched job of the Mård faction. They were proven wrong as five years later to the day, one of the most daring jailbreaks in recent memory was successfully done. Amid the carnage, they left a message to the authorities in one of the cells.

[Tanihoa]

That's... lovely

Tanihoa was the most technologically advanced nation in pre-Colombian America by a large margin, and actually managed to successfully fend off the Spanish invaders, preventing them from conquering all the other native nations.

WTF? kek

[Trythium]

"Assuming to skip the above? the capability to fend off the conquistadors is questionable considering there were many factors to the fall of the america's... but records can be wrong."

"There are no aliens in the Confederacy. Although it may be hard to believe, every and all life forms within the Confederacy find there genetic ancestry falling back (eventually) directly to genetic samples that can be found on Earth or Terra as some call it. Although there are some species that have adopted genetic material from worlds they were left on, they all stem from adaptive procedures uniquely from earth."

[Imperial Glovania]

No aliens in a space nation? Shocking.

---

After the end of the Revolutionary War in August 1958. The Royal Glovanian Armed Forces would request radio station operators to play military marches only to celebrate the 'Royalist' victory. For one week, all Glovanians only listened to military marches and nothing else.

[Kannadrickium]

Must have been quite an ordeal.

All Kannadrickens can do the Cups song.

[Freilibre]

They've been taught by the greatest.


Freilibre is the only country in the world to have not part with its original colonies during the colonial era.

[Asmundia]

Fun fact, we also took back one of our only colonies (which we call Hansfund now) a few weeks ago lol


In Asmundia's history, Colombus actually did find a new route to India, and so The Americas wouldn't be discovered until in the middle of the 1500s, when an Asmundian admiral, planning to conquer Iceland, accidentally found his way to Newfoundland and thinking it's Iceland claimed it.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

Damn. Talk about misnavigation.

Our Eugenics Policy enforces that citizens are assigned a government-endorsed spouse before claiming a parental license. These Statistical Unions are based on censuses which collect data, and are focused on creating couples which are directly parallel to each other's traits; creating near-perfect marriages rid of hereditary diseases.

While it may work genetically, does it work socially?

High-ranking members of the Totalstaat League, regional governors and the like, are protected by an elite unit of the SVK called the Staatswag, the State Guard. Selected for their fanatical adherence to the Totalist ideology as well as their skill, they are trained to give their lives for their charges if necessary. However, should their assigned official be found to be corrupt or secretly anti-Totalist, it is also the sworn duty of the Staatswag to arrest or execute them, as their loyalty is the state above all else.

[Unified Kingdom of Auradon]

Quite Intresting

Auradon is a Diarchy with two monarchs one is in charge of military and economic polices and the second is in charge of domestic and diplomatic polices, each holding a veto over the other's actions. However from 1920-1951 the nation was a Triumvirate with a third monarch who ruled over religious polices, since the country became secular in 1951 the position has been dormant.

[Oswyn Islands]

A diarchy is, in my opinion, inefficient in the modern world and such a divide of future is stupid. Diplomacy, domestic, military & economy policies all tie into one another.

---

It’s considered a highly rude gesture to insult or mock the police, due to their importance and good work. ‘Gangsters’ who call police ‘pigs’ are actively avoided in society and are seen by some to be scum.

[The Great-German Empire]

Eh, I guess it's either this or constant BLM-esque rioting these days. Can't we get some harmony?

Germany is one of the odd nations where judges have actually outlasted juries. In the 1930s, after the impartiality of many a jury trial was called into question, they were replaced by inquisitorial courts with 2 to 5 judges.

[Oswyn Islands]

Ehh, the whole judge & jury thing confuses me in all honesty. I’m better at political stuff than law.
Still, how odd. Good on you for being rather ‘out there’.

Like all peoples of all countries, there are stereotypes of Oswyn Islanders.

Positive stereotypes of Oswyn Islanders portray them as diligent, smart and well-educated, helpful and generous. They’re also polite, when the time and place calls for it.
Neutral stereotypes portray Oswyn Islanders as dark-humoured, frank and monarchist-friendly.
Negative stereotypes of Oswyn Islanders portray them as anthrocentric, (slightly) xenophobic, insensitive, uppity and anti-Islamic, if not anti-religion by itself.

[Toraia]

Not the worst stereotypes to have, except for the anti-religion part. Your people sound nice, if a bit austere.

Toraia briefly came out of isolation in WWII and mobilized the army, mostly out of fear of occupation by the Axis Powers. At that time, the national personification, Miss Toraia, was resurrected as a patriotic symbol to encourage army enlistment. The government made many propaganda posters featuring her doing things like waving Allied flags and assembling warplanes in a car factory. A favorite poster depicted the pint-sized woman punching a Nazi in the face, with the caption, “She can beat up the Axis...can you? Enlist today.”

[The Northeastern Confederation]

Its seems like they were trying to be progressive and failed miserably.

On the Northeastern confederation, halluninogenic cheese is SO outlawed that the government goes south of the border to drone-strike their manufacturers.
