Well it's obvious to see the influence religion has on everyday life in that nation.




There's a species of arachnid in Los Ricos known as the Campras spider, and it only lives on one island, Campras Island, it's namesake, which is the most isolated island in the nation, located almost exactly on 15°S. The Campras species is suspected to be almost 20 million years old, early fossils dating back to the early Neogene era.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
*learns that it is almost 20 million years old*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!


Zitravgradian wolf is often portrayed positively as a great companion, a protector of its area or just a being associated with the enigma of the wild. Below here is a wolf-related story that doesn't make sense, however.

In old pagan beliefs, there is a tale of wolf that has the power to turn himself into a human. Once he does, he enters one of the nomadic tribes, becomes one of its warriors and soon is arranged to marry a woman who is also a shepherd. But one night before the wedding, the woman (and her sheep) is chased by wolves so he transforms back into a wolf and... politely asks them to leave. They agree to leave, on the condition that he leaves with them 'to where he belongs'. He leaves... and no one has seen him since. The name of this man is usually credited by historians to be 'Kavaritsch Valitsanov' and he is treated like a sort of mythological hero.

We spent 750,000,000,000 NSD making a gigantic clock. Some may think that’s idiotic, we say it’s the most precise atomic clock ever created so you can go and take a look at the results it has and the jobs it gives to teenagers.... It’s purpose is literally just to calibrate time zones across the globe but hey, that just means everyone else gets to enjoy the same level of precision!

Time is very important, especially in this age of electronics.

Between the space dragons and the large Armada, most people forget that our auxiliary fighter core is one of the most skilled in the galaxy. Perhaps the shoddy and unreliable fighters they start training on forces them to always be more aware of their fighter's limits even as they get into more top of the line equipment, maybe its because their training partners already have natural instincts for flying in a vacuum, or maybe it's due to the shear amount of flight hours they rack up as flying becomes their life. Whatever the reason, even though the pilots of the Armada don't always have the best equipment, they know how to push their fighter craft to their absolute limits.

Generally speaking, the countries with the weaker equipment are often the ones with the higher skill. Unless, of course, the country is too poor or otherwise incapable to acquire trainers for said skill.


The main reason why the Frievolker Government despises Fascism (or, as we know it, "The Roman Ideology") has its origins in the Interwar period.
Following the Roman Ideology's success in Italy, Russia, and later Iberia (where the faction adhering to a form of the Roman Ideology (Fascism, National Totalism, and Syndical Autocracy respectively), Mussolini got the idea to "Export" his ideology across Europe in order to gain a foothold in Northern Europe in case of the eventual second World War. Frievolk, of course, was chosen. The Frievolker denomination of the Roman Ideology did not find too many supporters, as even the most supremacist of the Nederstjill Nationalists still pledged loyalty to the crown and the realm first, so he had to export his own people to deal with the crown. On 5 April 1936, a Roman assassin, named Inigo de Ricci attempted to murder King Bernard of Frievolk. This attempt was the third major assassination attempt between the year 1933 and 1936 on the King's life. Feeling as though Mussolini was trying to get rid of a king and try and put a puppet in charge, Bernard issued a royal decree criminalizing 'The Roman Ideology'. Still trying to keep a civil relation with Iberia and Russia, Bernard was careful not to name "Fascism" or "Syndical Autocracy" as the name, but bypassing the Parliament in a Royal Decree, he effectively began a purge of the Parliament, the Royalty, the Nobility, and the Government. Within three months, more than 1,000 people had been arrested and later exiled, imprisoned, or executed. Frievolk attempted to take Rome (which, at that point, Frievolk still officially called Italy) to the international court, but with various countries leaving the League of Sovereigns, The Frievolker attempts failed miserably. Therefore, the Kingdom declared Italy to be "At the contempt of the people, crown, and the realm of Frievolk", closed all diplomatic missions with them, closed down Frievolk's embassy in Italy, and arrested the Ambassadors in Italy. With this move, Russia and Iberia warned Frievolk that such an action could only lead to war as 'an insult to one of us is an insult to all'.
Frievolk immediately joined the German Empire's pact, and prepared for war.

That's a nice stance.

All clocks in all government buildings and public spots in Atlantis are required to synchronise with the clock at the meeting hall in Parliament, which, in turn, is synchronised to an atomic clock inside the "throne room" (actually the monarch's office).

Uses certain NS stats.

Atlantis is an MT nation that is the third richest country in the world, behind only China and the United States. It is closer to the USA, UK, Italy and Spain (in that order, though Italy and Spain is probably tied) culturally than it is Greece. It is also a naval power.

And no, Atlantis is not underwater: It has a land area around the size of France.

Pros: Classical liberalism, democracy, the West, Brexit, Viktor Orban, free education, strong military
Cons: Authoritarianism, fascism, communism, multiculturalism, Islamism

Auto racing here does not have a singular sports federation. There's a Rally Federation, a GT Federation, a Touring Car Federation, and so on. The reason for this is that the French syndicalists dispersed the FIA, and German organizations which thought to monopolize racing sports were fiercely resisted by other countries' racing reps. In fact, no true international championships were inaugurated until 1954.

Ouch, not sure how they'd see Zeon since most residents are German, Russian, or Japanese with a few from the Middle East as well.

Even well into the Universal Century, Baikonur Cosmodrome is the oldest (though no longer largest due to Jaburo) spaceport on Earth, having survived both the fires of the third world war and the transition from Anno Domini to the Universal Century. It was a target of the Earth Drop Operation and is currently the main resupply point of the Central Asian forces of Zeon.

Sad to see that religion is still an oppressive force.


Even though the Humanity Front has all but wiped out, discussions on Human-Taloan relations and Gender Identities have been brought back onto intellectual and academic tables. Before the Humanity Front's terrorist reign across the Technocracy's star systems, people think very little about Taloans as a separate species or people taking HRT as it's just normalized. With the Humanity Front taking an otherwise ignored topic into the spotlight, people are now discussing what 'male' and 'female' are, and how Taloans are actually viewed by the populace. Although many citizens still don't feel very strongly about 'gender' or the origins of Taloans, the Humanity Front's transphobic, Luddite, pro-Democratic stances brought back discussions which may encourage people to adopt these particular ideologies.

The Technocratic Council is considering adding Misogynists, Transphobes, and Homophobes onto the list of Defectives to counter a possible rise in an otherwise extinct demographic prior to the rise of Luddite-Democratic terrorism. Some argued that Transphobia, Homophobia, and Sexism are inherent traits of Democrats, and thus, redundant to include them when they should be treated like as a "specific type of Democrat" and Recycled as such.

Seems kind of Klingon... democratic Klingon checks and balances




A popular urban legend in La Paz de Los Ricos surrounds an old Spanish mission built several dozen kilometers outside of Puerto Meyori (current-day Alvoréɾ̣es), built by a group of Spanish missionaries sent to the islands to convert the natives to Christianity.

The mission is referenced in old maps of the area as "La Falta de Dios", the supposed name of the building. The mission is referenced in multiple old journal entries from missionaries and colonists living in the area.

However, when the area is actually searched, the only thing that is found is a clearing in the dense jungles outside of the metropolitan areas of the capital city. The clearing has an upright cross in the center, made from two old planks of wood. The words "Dios nos miente" ("God lies to us") are scratched into the cross.

The area is restricted to civilian entry.

Compulsory Gun Ownership Act of 2061
The CGO is an act that mandates the ownership and registration of all fire arms within SUSR-households . Song Liyuan states that compulsory gun ownership is a good first step to maintain the flow of guns within the Union and control the population by keeping tabs on legal and illegal gun ownership to protect civilians from gun violence. In order for civilians to comply with the orders of this act they must pass a series of tests and background checks to ensure that persons requesting a gun license meet the necessary mental and physical requirements to own a gun. If a civilian fails these tests or is on a government watchlist, then they are barred from any form of gun ownership. If illegal gun ownership occurs, then the suspect is swiftly arrested; however, if he/she relinquishes their fire arm, then their charges are dropped and a fine of ₱250 ($5,000) is given instead.

Gun ownership is rather weird in a de-facto authoritarian-esque socialist state where the proles could just rebel in any time but do what do you do.


Most of the Iranian upper-class elite and intelligentsia of our world had came to despise Shia Islam promoted by the Mullahs that they perceive as backwards, and had converted to Zoroastrianism to symbolize Iran's Achamenid past and adopted a secular stance on most religious topics. Widening the divide between the secular upper and middle class, and the religious lower class of Iranian society.

After the success of the Nojeh Coup; Iran becomes a transitional regency, hybrid (military) regime which clamps down on everything politically Islamic. Now suffering from an Afghan-like insurgency from the Quds and MEK, and intricate deep state politics between the Gang of Four.
The "Persagonian Republic" is a misnomer. We are a transitional regency.

Ettela'at News: Previous officials of the old IR regime including Abdolhassan Banisadr and Ali Rajai reported missing after the Qom Raid. Rumors are abound that the Islamists are assembling the Al-Quds opposition to wage jihad against the new govt.

Because of their long lives, vampires reproduce slowly, usually with one child every 100 years. This adds up to 2-3 children per couple over a course of three centuries. This has greatly hampered vampiric colonisation of new lands, unfortunately.
Vampires mate heterosexually and have live births, between a male father and female mother.

God is fair. If your world's vampires breed like humans, it would be full.
