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

[A m e n r i a]

So like Persia except it's a feminist dystopia? Got any historical background to justify it? Should be interesting.

To avoid the rise of feminism, the Imperial Government distracts women from it by having them do things that are actually useful - making it easier for them to enter the military both socially and legally, having them take classes that increase their economic freedom, and other empowerment programs. That way, it's hoped that tradition will be preserved, while the women are too busy to even think about manspreading, certain words in vocabulary, or similar degeneracies the feminists of the west came up with. This may or may not have worked, as RMD has a feminist uprising rp in the works.

[Eisenstern]

Hmm. I'm not sure what to think of this, primarily because you haven't specified the wave of feminism you are in opposition to. The programs seem reasonable, however.

---

Eisenstern has very rarely been forced to engage in direct military action throughout its existence, and as such its military capabilities are largely unknown to the worlds it visits. On one notable occasion, Chief Emissary Twisse was sent to quell a fascist uprising that threatened to upset a particularly lucrative trade deal. When she appeared at the site of the battle alone, the ruling party's military commander was dumbfounded. He asked, in a shocked manner, why the rest of the Council hadn't been sent. She famously replied with:

"Well, the enemy only seems to have one army. Show me another six, and I'll call in the rest."

[Neo-Unified Nations]

Damn, guess some people treat their authority with respect and fear.

---

The old Neo-UN flag was changed, a new addition was added to the flag, that being an occult star, symbolizing the fivefold mission that NUNGDI are often tasked with.

Destruction
They are to destroy all forms of paranormal entities and people to protect civilization and the human race.

Education
They are to teach only the negative things about the paranormal and why they should be terminated.

Survival
They are to survive against a paranormal world.

Concealment
They are to hide all traces of supernatural from the world so the next generation can live a peaceful life.

Protection
They are to protect the human race by all means.

The flag was also condemned by christians for apparently 'Embracing satanism', even though the satanists stated they did not even get in positions, the new flag also created a wave of terror amongst rebels, who now view them as 'Killers with the Satanist star'.

[Acxan Complex]

So basically the UN became fascist as fuck and changed its "mission" from "Dialogue and goodwill among nations" to "muh genocide"? Not very enticing.

(Reposting this because come on)
During his 16 years as an academic, Professor Hugh Mann was subject to a betting pool. It was an open secret that he was only masquerading as a human, but the problem was that nobody could guess what he was. The students and even teachers of the college he taught in each bet on a different magical creature, spanning from various forms of spiritfolk, wargs, fae, and even (curiously) six gnomes standing on each others' shoulders under a trenchcoat (which he was almost never seen without). Curiously, the only item never on the pool was a demon, because as we all know, demons can't maintain their forms in the physical plane for more than short periods of time.

[The Zravvisk]

I like the six gnomes theory, but that last sentience makes me think he is a demon because fate is like that.

The zravvisk aren't the most well liked species in the galaxy. Quite a bit of the fear comes from the Armada's early centuries where they were unusually highly aggressive and regretfully committed a few war crimes out of ignorance. The early Armada had no idea other nations had such things as noncombatants or civilians since they didn't have that and sometimes underestimated the strength of their weapons such as accidentally vaporizing a megacity and several kilometers of crust under it when they meant for a precision strike. While the Armada has made reforms to give themselves one of the cleanest records of any nation for the rest of its millennia long existence those early years made quite the impression.

Also since most zravvisk prefer to stick to the Armada which travels somewhat slowly though the galaxy, most people have never encountered one in the flesh, getting most of their information from rumors, media they appear in, and news agencies that might have a bias against them. Most zravvisk out side of the Armada are exiles, or people that have committed crimes so horrible that the Armada could no longer accept them, they usually become bloodthirsty pirates, mercenaries, or criminals proving several good news stories for the media. The zravvisk and their fearsome reputations and battle prowess have made their quite popular villains for movies and video games because what better climax could you have than fighting a dragon? The zravvisk being the somewhat isolationist beings they are never really brother to correct these on a large enough scale.

Some don't like the Armada for its modern policy like its lack of a prime directive and willing to run around on primitive planets accidentally causing countless of religions and myths based on them. Other are vocal about the Armada's looting policy allowing their warriors the right to loot just about anything after a battle. While some like how the Armada has the biggest collection of cultural artifacts to display for all to see, others don't like how the vast majority of them were obtained though ten thousand years of looting. And nearly everyone hates how wounded zravvisk warriors eat dead enemy soldiers after a battle despite due the zravvisk's regeneration making the best way for them to heal after a fight and to quickly stabilize a mortally wounded zravvisk.

Despite this several people do like the zravvisk. The species they saved from from genocide or the planets they saved from destruction never forget how the Armada saved them. The countless shipwrecked victims saved the Armada always remember how quickly the Armada came to save them and sheltered them until they got to a friendly space station. Others have just spent enough time with them or people who know them to realize that they are just people.

[Peroniist Argentina]

Personally, I hold a neutral stance on them. As long as those artifacts are kept in good condition I will not care what they use them for. However, I do find them too chaotic to really prove to be good. I can see why the people of their universe dislike them and I can see why others like them. It's odd but makes sense I guess. They're kinda just chaotic neutral.

During the US-backed "Nationalist" coup of '54, a single unit of Argentine Commandoes was deployed to a small town held by the rebels. Within an hour, 125 of the rebels were killed, 4 were captured, and 1 was wounded. 40 of the rebels' bloodied bodies were hung from a nearby bridge, with roughly 60-70 other bodies missing their scalps. Peron was mortified by the casual brutality and immediately censored any mention of the event in Argentine media to prevent backlash. During the Korean War, there were hundreds of reports of Chinese soldiers having their hands or fingers shot off while going to take a drink, eat food, or smoke cigarettes. This was attributed to Argentine Scout Snipers, who made the Chinese soldiers fearful to raise their hands at any time if they were close to the front.

[Varsland]

It goes to show the Argentine military is ruthless and barbaric. I wouldn’t feel safe around them, even if I was an Argentine. They need to be reined in and retrained.

The Varskyn, the country’s dominant ethnicity, are descended from Norse pagans who fled Christian Europe to the far west in the hopes of discovering new lands where they could live in peace. They eventually arrived in Vinland, which had been known to the Norse for generations but wasn’t subject to colonisation on such a large scale before.

Due to The Curse (zombie infestation) European colonialism was set back at least a century, and the descendants of the Norse colonisers were able to firmly establish themselves on the continent before any other European people, retaining their ancestors’ faith and culture.

[Hathian Prime]

VIKING EMPIRE WHEN. Also sounds like a pretty cool concept. I like the excuse for late colonialism and I'm intrigued if the Norse had any interactions with Native Americans.

Hathian Prime's army consists of 16,000,000 soldiers and 3,000,000 men and women in roles that are non-combat related. These numbers do not include engineers or medics. Hathian Prime's army is the third largest army in the world but is considered the deadliest and best-trained. Before the outbreak of the Second World War, Army recruits went through 8 months of rigorous training and many war games. However, this was due to how small the Army was at the time(only 4,000,000 soldiers). After a massive influx of 8,000,000 recruits just a year before the start of WW2, training was forced to be cut down to 3-4 months due to the very high costs. They still remained an efficient branch despite this. There has only ever been one case of the Army retreating without the orders to do so, but this was due to the risk of encirclement by CFN Forces. As a result of this, the Army has garnered the respect of foe and ally alike.

[Las Palmeras]

Eh, that's cool, we have a bit of a soft spot for "paganism" partly due to our animist traditions despite culturally imposed Catholicism. On the second thing; interesting, a century of stunted European growth due to zombies. And we thought the Gamma Ray Burst and little Ice Age in our timeline was bad.

AN: Your taxes must suck...your standing army is like almost half our population. But if you are anything like Germany, we can sort of see how you're more or less geopolitically surrounded so that's partly justified.

---

Unlike the (IRL) Cuban Revolution, the Palmeran Restoration had marked racial undertones in great part due to the economic and institutional rivalry between the white Criollos/Creoles (descendants of the former Spanish and European ruling class) and the mixtos and natives(human-"nekomimi" mixed people and "nekomimi") who made up the majority. The former elite not aligned with the Restoration mostly emigrated to mainly the USA and did their best to retake the island as several Palmeras Libre lobby groups which more or less peddled that the Restoration was leftist. But unlike (IRL)Cuba, the general American populace and Government found it impossible to ignore that these exiles didn't look like 90% of the rest of the Palmeran population.

Also, the US government basically ignored the "Palmeras Libre" crowd after the Restored State rescued Kennedy from assassination from disgruntled "Palmeras Libre" exiles and CIA hardliners...and some nobody named Oswald something..

[Silver Commonwealth]

Opinion:Khm, so before the revolution, Las Palmeras was under a minority elite rule? Khm, very interesting. Also, it is even more interesting, that USA started to ignore exiles instead, unlike in IRL. So, no Bay of Pigs there?

Fact time!

*SC's Historian takes a cup of bourbon in a vault*

''(Fact is about one of possible SC's future scenarios) Japanese-Canadian War (Sometimes also called as the War of Northwest) was a military conflict between the Ring of Fire, and Canadian Commowealth, beginning in 2172, and lasting until 2176 as an escalation of tensions, which were rising in previous decades - running out of natural resources, frequent revolts, regional governor infighting, and region dreams of becoming fully independent. Despite the name of the conflict, SC's America, under the leadership of Supercomputer Tom, also participated in the war on Canadian Commonwealth's side, while some other regions sent volunteers, and resources to one of the sides. It was also one of the Tom's last attempts at keeping SC together, and one of the preludes to the end - SC's ultimate collapse. (The first thing, that rang the bell, was Nevada border war between Pacifica, and Rockies, which showed, how deep tension runs between various regional governors, even in SC's heartlands.) (Japanese-Canadian war is somewhat of a parallel to Sino-American war from Fallout, but there are also major differences - for example, in SC's timeline, Japan invaded Alaska for resources, not China, although SC's China sent volunteers to Ring of Fire as an aid. Also, Alaska is owned by SC's Canada in SC's timeline, so most of the warfare took place in Canada, not US. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Sino-American_War

'' Background:''During the second half of 22nd century, many see the writing on the wall for Tom's order - fossil fuels were starting to run out (Although more advanced states had mostly switched to renewable energy, lesser developed SC's regions still needed fossil fuels extensively), and internal jingoism between regions grew stronger, as Tom's propagated ''international nationalist cooperation'' was overshadowed by voices of irredentism, and glory seeking for their own region, as well as wishes to become fully independent from SC. The President-Governor, amd Shogun of Ring of Fire wanted not only to secure Japan's, and other Ring of Fire's region positions, and establish a Pacific Ocean empire, but to also grab Alaska's natural resources, and to distract his citizens from situation back at home, as life in Ring of Fire before invasion in Alaska wasn't good in the last years - region had undergone many famine periods, due of inept distribution of food supply by regional governments, and in combination with lack of fuel, public transport usage was reduced, angering the populace in result, as public transport was one of the main means of movement - many switched to bicycles afterwards, as "at least they required 0 liters of fuel". President-Governor (Shogun) of Southern Islands (Japan, but without Hokkaido) hoped to increase his popularity with national zeal, but to do so, he needed to do something big, so he decided to do something never done before - launch a full scale invasion on an another SC's member. Ainu advisors from Northern Isles region advised against such military action, but he still went ahead with the plan. (Last Japanese emperor "disappeared" in late 40s (20th century) during RNGOC's, and Russian Empire's occupation of Japan, so a President-Governor with secondary title of Shogun was put in power by Tom instead when SC arrived, as it seemed more acceptable for his jacobin stances.)''

'' Prelude:''A full scale naval invasion from Japan was deemed as ''too costly, and resource taking'' by military advisors, so Shogun instead decided to strike from somewhere closer - Kamchatka peninsula, as Alaska was right across the Bering strait, unlike with Japan, from which it would be a pretty long trip. At first, Ring of Fire planned to start offensive at winter, in order to utilize the thick sea ice, and use surprise effect by attacking from land, as Northwest's (Cascadia's) military intelligence expected a naval invasion. However, plan was eventually abandoned, due of the fact, that since Earth was starting to warm up in SC's timeline as well, there would be no guarantees about thickness of sea ice. Also, trying to invade during harsh Alaskan winter, in combination of excellent terrain for defense, would result in a disaster. So, a naval invasion across Bering Strait was set in motion instead. That said, preparations still took years, as plan was drafted in 2170, but invasion started only in 2172, as Ring of Fire's navy, and air force was first needed to be transported to Arctic, but regional units - trained for warfare on foreign land, as some of them are focused more on defense. Also, communication issues needed to be solved at first, as while English was an essential skill in SC overall, and in understanding commander orders, not all soldiers spoke, or understood English well, and asides from English, most of them only knew their mother tongue, as there were few of those, who learned an another language.''

'' Detailed Timeline:

2172

• June 15, 3:00: Ring of Fire declares war to Northwest, but not all of Canadian Commonwealth, in hopes of using the few hour handicap. Afterwards, almost instantly an invasion from Ring of Fire starts, with soldiers being stationed in positions weeks before attack. With aid from Japanese navy, and Siberian tribal forces, Ring of Fire manages to seize some islands, and small parts of northern Alaska with the handicap.
  
• 8:00 All of Canadian Commonwealth's regions officially declare war to Ring of Fire, and start mobilization of their populace, and deployment of their regional armies. Although situation is not critical, it is still problematic, and first troops, which arrive from Prairies, and Greater North, are often ill-equipped.
  
• July 6: Koryak, and Ainu divisions take Prudhoe Bay after a long siege, and seize its oil resources, and advance further in Northern Slope. Meanwhile, in the southern parts, Ring of Fire's divisions mostly advance through coastal line, with navy dropping of marines as far east as Yakutat, but soldiers avoid further major campaigns inland, with exception of Denali offensive.
  
• July 20: Battle of Koyuk: although Japanese forces manage to defeat Canadian divisions there, further advance inland is still not plausible, and northern army is still separated from central, and southern army. Meanwhile, Korean, and Japanese divisions fail to advance to Anchorage through land, due of mountains blocking the way.
  
• August 16: Ring of Fire's united naval forces attempt the first assault at Anchorage, but fail to take the city. Advance through Yukon delta is also a big slog, and Ring of Fire's troops manage to repel attacks across the delta only with high casualties. Meanwhile, Siberian troops capture Utqiagvik, and strengthen their positions in Northern Slope by bringing reinforcements from Bering strait.
  
• September 2: Ring of Fire brings its first power armor units to Alaska, in hopes of finishing the campaign as fast as possible, and experience major gains during first weeks, but due of Alaska's terrain, and increasing amount of Canadian troops in there, warfare inevitably slows down. In north, soldiers try to connect Alaskan natural resources with Ring of Fire's core territories, in hopes to fuel regions for further war effort.
  
• November 3- November 21: First major Canadian counter-offensive takes place, and during 18 days, Canadian troops manage to push out Ring of Fire's divisions from Denali national park all the way to Point MacKenzie, as war in the south starts to enter more defensive phase. In the west, however, Manchurian units start an another offensive, capturing Noorvik, in hopes of uniting northern, and western armies together.
  
• December 7: Ring of Fire starts to transport war material, and soldiers over the sea ice, which is thick enough to hold medium vehicles. Despite Kamchatka being closer to Alaska than mainland Japan, mobile supply depots still need to be set up on ice. During first winter, Japanese troops get enough supply to unite northern, and central army groups, but similar campaigns to unite the southern army as well fail, as in Alaskan winter, war becomes harder to wage.
  
  2173
  
• January 13: An emergency meeting is called by Tom in UCN's HQ in New York, to discuss the conflict, and Canadian representative asks for support in conflict against Ring of Fire. While some regions remain neutral on the conflict, some support the Shogun, but some also support SC's Canada in conflict. That said, no one is ready to fully participate in the conflict yet, as SC is pretty much disintegrating at this point, and regions don't fully follow Tom's orders. Still, SC's China sends volunteers as an aid to Alaska for Ring of Fire.
  
• January 29 - February 25: Operation ''Tsunami'' is launched by the central army group, in hopes to advance deeper into mainland from Seward peninsula. Due of increasing resistance, harsher terrain, and overstretching of supply lines, Operation Tsunami fails as well, and Canadian counterattack soon follows, resulting in splitting off Seward peninsula, along with central army group, from northern army. Central army units remaining in the north merge with the northern army.
  
• March 24: Ainu divisions from the north start offensive along Dalton highway, in order to reach Fairbanks, and Japanese divisions start offensive from south as well, to cut Alaska into two. Although successful at first, soon offensive gets bogged down, due of lack of supply depots, and settlements across the road - some tanks run out of fuel. Also, increasing resistance from defenders, and hostile terrain slows it down even more as well.
  
• April 22: Japanese, and Korean united fleet assaults Anchorage once again, this time equipped with the cyberdogs as well - some of them were captured by Ring of Fire after seizing some of the military bases in Alaska. This time, Ring of Fire's soldiers manage to capture Anchorage, and link up with the western armies, but only barely. However, afterwards, Cascadia also starts to use cyberdogs in battle more often as well, and Canadians deploy more men in front as well - total amount of solders in Alaska reaches close to 1 million.
  
• May 30: Aykhan, and RBHU-3 - robot leaders of Siberia, send newest generation robots as volunteers to Alaskan front, in order to help Ring of Fire. Although never fully entering the war, SC's Siberia would covertly supply Ring of Fire with much-needed resources, and robotic volunteers for further campaigns. Southern army uses the robots in an attempt to march west, and unite with the western army, which is cut off in Seward peninsula.
  
• July 16: All of SC's American Megastate leaders finally vote for intervention in Japanese-Canadian war on Canada's side. Although Tom has always wanted to intervene in the Japanese-Canadian War, regional governor intrigues, political disunity, cautious military leaders, and lack of support from other regions have prevented SC's America from intervening. Later on, SC's Central America's leaders vote to send volunteers to Alaskan front as well, but it never fully enters the conflict, due of concerns of anti-Tomist sympathies within its military.
  
• July 25: After declaration of war by Supercomputer Tom, and 8 other America's regional governors, Ring of Fire starts the Sitka offensive, and attempts to invade former British Columbia, as it feels like, that its time is running short, and sees it as a last chance to secure more ground, before full might of Tom's army arrives. Japanese troops besiege Juneau, while Chinese volunteer units take some of the southeast Alaskan islands. Later on, Ring of Fire's jets bomb Vancouver - the capital of Cascadia, and Seattle. However, the offensive exhausts most of its aggression power.
  
• August 10: Snipers from Quebec with newest generation anti-materiel riffles, and Eastern Columbia's power armor divisions arrive at Fairbanks, in order to stop Ring of Fire's plans of pincer movement for the city. During this time, Dalton Highway offensive has mostly stopped, due of lack of necessary supply depots, and exhaustion, so Canadian, and American units reverse all Ring of Fire's gains during the last year in mere days, making it retreat all the way to Prudhoe Bay. Dalton Highway offensive is officially declared as ''failure''.
  
• September 16: Battle of Unalakleet: By using robots sent by Siberia, Ring of Fire has managed to come dangerously close to uniting the cut-off central army with southern army, so Canadian power armor divisions face the advancing forces at town of Unalakleet. Although Ring of Fire wins the battle, it has cost so much resources, and robots, that it could be also called a Pyrrhic victory. Still, during the offensive, it has captured large parts of the Southwest Alaska.
  
• November 2: Pacifica's Scientists in their experiments produce a counter against Siberian robots - ''hardened'' EMP grenade, which fries the circuits of many of them, and renders them into unusable parts of scrap metal. Despite its limited range, it still inflicts heavy casualties for Siberian robot volunteers, and allows Cascadian troops to start a counteroffensive, pushing Japanese, and Chukchi armies at Bethel near Kuskokwim river.
  
  2174
  
• January 1: Canadian, and American troops overrun the trapped central army in Seward peninsula after the battle of Nome in western Alaska. It captures way fewer prisoners of war, due of most of soldiers fighting to death. Those, who weren't captured, or killed, are sent either to north, to assist the northern army, or evacuated to Kamchatka, in preparations for a possible naval attack from Cascadian navy.
  
• February 14: Japanese siege on Juneau is lifted, and Ring of Fire's troops in the area soon surrender, after realizing, that they now are the ones encircled. In the following days, the remaining Ring of Fire's troops in Southeast Alaskan islands are cleared out by power armor divisions, rendering the Sitka offensive by Japanese, and Korean fleets useless.
  
• March 4: Kamchatka region intensifies the naval patrols in Bering strait, after a sea battle near Diomede islands between united Cascadian, and American navy, and Kamchatkan regional fleet, along with Japanese warships. Although Ring of Fire wins this naval skirmish, it still losses a significant part of its Arctic fleet during this skirmish. SC's Canada, and SC's America don't engage in major naval clashes in Bering strait anymore during the rest of the war.
  
• April 8: SC's American, and Canadian troops start an attack along the northwest Alaskan coastline, and recapture Utqiagvik in the end, while encountering little to no resistance from northern army, as most of its soldiers are further east, in order to defend the oil fields there. Although Ainu, and Siberian tribal divisions manage to repulse attack on Prudhoe Bay, situation becomes critical, as due of loss of Utqiagvik port, Ring of Fire's navy needs to travel longer distances to supply them, and Cascadian submarines start to patrol Alaskan shores more often.
  
• June 10: An upgraded variant of the old stealth suits from RNGOC gets deployed in Alaska, which is used for sneak attacks on small Cascadian army groups, and spying operations. Eastern Columbia's scientists soon respond with better movement sensors, which can detect even a small movement through mountainous passes, or forests. Although stealth attacks from Japanese troops still are dangerous, they are also harder to pull off.
  
• July 15: Leaders of Commonwealth of China, and Commonwealth of Siberia order to recall their volunteers from Alaska back to home, due of the increasing casualties in the front, and war being basically lost by at this point, as while SC's Canada, and Megastates can replace their losses, Ring of Fire starts to have problems with replacing the destroyed equipment, and experiences manpower shortages. Despite that, a few Siberian robots, and Chinese volunteers refuse to return, and continue to fight in Alaska.
  
• August 14 - September 6: During the Northern Slope offensive, Inuit troops retake Prudhoe Bay, and its remaining oil reserves. Before retreating, some officers considered to burn down the oil wells of Prudhoe Bay, in order to leave advancing Canadian Inuit troops ''as little oil as possible for their tanks''. However, in the end, plan was cancelled. After Northern Slope offensive, and losing most of the supplies, northern army suffers from high attrition. Trapped Japanese garrison in Kaktovik surrenders soon after.
  
• December 20: Morale of the Ring of Fire's northern army is at breaking point, as its losing more territory with every day, and Northern Ocean's water has frozen into ice, and northern army can receive supplies only through the sea ice, due of having most of its air force pinned down in airfields. During the Battle of Umiat, the last General of Army for northern army is killed, and most of the remaining northern army's soldiers either surrender, or commit suicide. (That said, some create small groups, which continue to harass northern Alaska until the end of the war. Also, some actually manage to escape to Kamchatka through Beaufort, and Chukchi sea ice.)
  
  2175
  
• January 13 - January 29: Operation ''Angry Beaver'' begins in Southern Alaska, with goal of cutting off Ring of Fire's armies in Anchorage from supply from land. As in the skies, Canadian, and American air force has a decisive air superiority, and most of Ring of Fire's air force in Alaska has been destroyed in previous few years supplying forces from the sea is the only viable option for Ring of Fire anymore. Although Anchorage remains in hands of Ring of Fire, Cascadian troops manage to reach the outskirts of it.
  
• February 5: An attempt of sabotage at the research facility of Keewatin Town (A closed city, which, despite the name, is actually located in former Yukon's territory, and which is tasked with research of various weapons. Its exact location is unknown for most of SC's populace, even for SC's Canadians, as it isn't shown in any official map) gets prevented by special ops. Still, the attempt itself raises a lot of alarm bells not only within the Cascadian government, but even in Tom's government, as it shows, that Ring of Fire's intelligence agencies not only had information about the exact location of the closed city, but were able to send in agents with stealth suits as well.
  
• March 10: A new variant of APU mechas is developed by the scientists of Great Lakes Institute - they are about the same size as a normal human, as taller mechas in polygon tests proved to be more vulnerable towards shots in legs, and without them, mecha is all but a wreck. Its armor is as light as possible, in order to increase movement speed, as heavier mecha would be a perfect target for snipers, and it also has flying capabilities on a limited scale. New mechas are used during Operation ''Aurora'' in Southwest where they tear through soldier lines like a knife through butter, and push them all the way to Naknek.
  
• April 17: In one of the last UCN meetings in New York, governors of European Federation, and Australasian confederation condemn Ring of Fire for ''its acts of aggression'' in Alaska, but don't support either side militarily in the conflict. Tom accuses Aykhan, and Siberian Commonwealth of ''secretly supplying Ring of Fire with resources like oil, steel, gas, and diamonds'', but Aykhan denies those accusations. Tom considers deploying UCN peacekeepers, and observers in Siberian Commonwealth, but then rethinks, as such decision would most likely be vetoed by most of SC's governors.
  
• May 9: Despite the press censorship from Ring of Fire's military, and news network, news about massive failures in the Alaskan front still arrive from the other side of Bering strait, and result in massive riots in Japan, Kamchatka, Korea, and Manchuria, and decrease of support for the war from the populace, along with decrease of natural resources, regional governors blaming each other for military failures, and tanking economy. So, Ring of Fire's military leadership for the first time during war offers to surrender. However, first peace talks soon break down, due of vast hostility between the opposing sides, and war continues.
  
• August 13: After seeing, that all chances to win the war have been lost, Shogun, and other 5 governors (Ainu, Even, Manchurian, Korean, Evenk) order Japanese, and Manchurian jets from captured Sitka airfield launch air raids against Canadian oil, and gas pipelines, inflicting monetary, and resource loss to the Northwest. It is often considered as one of the last major successful operations of Ring of Fire's military.
  
• September 5: Cascadian army splits southern army group into three pockets - first pocket in Kenai Peninsula, second, and most important pocket in Anchorage, and its surrounding territories, and with third pocket in Valdez, and coastline near Chugach national forest. Tom broadcasts a message in Alaskan radio, that ''Liberation of Anchorage is close!'', and various from the newer APU mechas get deployed in Anchorage from the southwestern front.
  
• October 18: Pacifica's stealth bombers, aided by Cascadian jets, bomb the city of Anadyr. which is a capital of Kamchatka - one of Ring of Fire's regions, and an air base located in Kamchatka. During the raid, all of planes in the air base get decimated, and personnel - killed, and air base itself gets destroyed almost completely. Some of Megastate governors consider plans of dropping a nuclear weapon on Tokyo, but those plans get cancelled in the end. Later on, Cascadian infiltrators manage to blow up a part of Yokohama's port docks with sticky explosives.
  
• November 22: SC's Canadian, and American troops start a new assault towards Anchorage from the outskirts of the city. Although they don't capture all of it, they manage to capture about half of the city, while other half is still at Ring of Fire's control. It is a big boost for Cascadian morale, but bloody street battles would soon begin, as Ring of Fire's soldiers start making barricades in their parts of city. Meanwhile, Japanese soldiers stationed in Anchorage, and other parts of southcentral Alaska, start to suffer from hunger, due of lack of supply. They try to re-connect their pocket with armies in southwest Alaska multiple times, with no success.
  
• December 11- December 17: More air raids launched against Ring of Fire's ports, and air bases, in order to prevent ships from supplying soldiers in Alaska, and jets - from taking off. During the air raids, Jets from Ontario region also sink one of the few aircraft carrier ships of Ring of Fire, after it tried to assist the units in Alaska with jets on its runway. Although it never got confirmed by SC's remaining authorities, some of the ship crew survivor records say, that ''napalm bombs were used not only for airfields, and resource depots, but against battleships as well''.
  
  2176
  
• January 23 - February 9: Offensive in seemingly inactive Southwest front restarts again, with Canadian, and American combined troops retaking Kodiak Island, and Aleutian Peninsula with little resistance. After that, last remaining divisions retreat to the Attu island, and the supply problems of the cut-off divisions in the South-central front worsen.
  
• March 3: After long, and bloody street battles, Northwest (Cascadian) divisions finally retake Anchorage, serving as a massive boost to Canadian morale. Afterwards, most of the trapped Japanese, and Korean divisions become weak, and disorganized, and Eastern Columbian power armor units start to clear up the last pocket of Ring of Fire's troops. After capturing Anchorage, Central America recalls most of its volunteer units, as their leaders think, that ''Cascadia can handle the rest on its own''.
  
• March 19: Last Ring of Fire's 400 men batallion surrenders near Chugach National Forest. Cascadia's President-Governor officially declares Alaska as ''liberated'', although Ring of Fire still has presence in Aleutian islands. From the original invasion force in Alaska, almost all of units have either been destroyed, surrendered, or fled to Kamchatka, in preparations for a further Tom's counter-strike.
  
• March 25, 7:00: SC's Canadian, and American troops start Aleut island hopping campaign. With only one garrison, and division left at Attu islands, Ring of Fire has lost most of capabilities to put an organised resistance, and most of islands fall within hours.
  
• 18:00: Shogun, and other 5 governors of Ring of Fire call for ceasefire, and peace treaty. Due of tension brewing at homefront, and increasing regional governor infighting, Tom accepts, and soon diplomats meet in Anchorage for talks.
  
• March 26, 10:00: Treaty of Anchorage is signed, ending the Japanese-Canadian War. Last remaining units in Aleut islands are evacuated to Kamchatka, and while no major land change happens, Ring of Fire is forced to pay for the damage inflicted to Northwest (Cascadia) during the war.

'' Aftermath: ''Both sides suffered heavily during the war - for an example, Northwest (Cascadia) was hurt the worst by the war, as it was the main front during the entire conflict, and after the war had ended, it had lost most of its military power, and its army was essentially crippled - it required effort from other Canadian states to repair the military of Northwest. Also, while Ring of Fire was still forced to pay for damages in the end in order to help the reconstruction process, lots of oil, and natural gas still went to waste, when Ring of Fire's jets bombed the oil, and gas pipelines, spilling out the valuable resources on ground, which meant, that last remaining natural resources were draining out faster than ever. In fact, years later, so called ''resource riots'' started - at first only in Northwest, but later on - in entire Canadian Commonwealth, and even parts of US Megastates, due of running out of the already limited natural resources. Not all of parts of SC had switched to renewable energy, so there were regions, which were hurt more by lack of fossil fuels.''

''However, Ring of Fire also suffered heavily from the war - not only it didn't get the access to one of the last remaining natural resource deposits in Alaska, but it also drained a lot of its own remaining resources during the war, thus leaving its economy ruined. Also, due of combination of bad weather, harsh terrain, army mismanagement, and lack of supplies, Ring of Fire lost a lot of men as well, and also experienced the humiliation of the loss in war. After the war, regional governors searched for scapegoats for failure not only in their own region, but between each other as well, which tore the already unstable system, as many riots, and revolts against SC's imposed system started across the Ring of Fire. Most serious of them was the Okvik revolt (Named after an ancient Inuit culture in Chukotka), which originally started as Siberian Yupik revolt against forced assimilation by the Shogun, but when Koryak, and Chukchi revolutionaries joined them, along with underground opposition, revolt became too big for regional troops to handle alone - Shogun had to send the central government's troops in, to secure the last few remaining oil and gas reserves for Ring of Fire. Overall, Ring of Fire disintegrated way faster than SC's America, and SC's Canada, as the latter were a bit more stable.

[Soudar]

It looks like this 4 year long conflict didn't really do much good for either side.

---

Soudar had a small election get a tie from a internet meme. People realized that we didn't have a technical way to settle a tie for smaller elections, so the meme took off. The tie happened and after a recount, we didn't know what to do. And right now the current mayor is still in her post after 1 year of the election. There will be a new one thought next election day.

[The Zravvisk]

You didn't come up with a way to fix that problem? If it happened once then it will happen again so you should get on fixing it.

In the Armada any civil case can be settled with a duel as long as both parties agree to it. The rules of a duel are neither party can kill or maim the other, a referee must watch over it, and any additional terms and conditions must be agreed upon by both parties. Since there is no law stating a that a duel must be a physical fight, some duels got fairly creative in what from they would take with some examples being in the form of card games, board games, dice, video games ect. Dueling remains a popular way to settle civil disputes since they are fast and don't require any knowledge in law especially since until recently the Armada's code of laws was an absolute mess.

[Eisenstern]

Seems quite sensible, to be honest. An interesting solution to a legal system mired in semantics and confusion.

The mechanism by which the Tower is able to travel between worlds has undergone numerous redesigns and revisions over the course of its existence. The first few such "jumps" were carried out via the manual usage of an artifact known as the World Casket - typically, Kresge himself would channel its energies through the machinery that kept the Tower aloft, opening up a semi-directed rift in space-time. Such procedures were slow, inaccurate, and bore a high risk of damaging crucial components of the Tower - as such, a rudimentary control and containment framework was established around the Casket. This was steadily enlarged and improved by the Guild's Grand Engineer, Sabira Vetui, for whom interdimensional travel was something of a passion project. As such, the Tower is now capable of near-instantaneous inter-universal travel to any previously visited world, along with a rudimentary survey function of as-of-yet unvisited locales, in order to test for the suitability of environmental conditions and physical laws. Its travel range is theoretically infinite, and it requires only a short "cooldown" period of around three minutes between jumps.

[Ecradia]

I understand some of those words. It seems complex.

---

The government of Ecradia does not recognize same-sex marriage. It should be noted however, that the government of Ecradia does not recognize traditional marriage, either. Ecradians are allowed to get married, but there is no government incentive for marrying. This is part of a cultural program with the stated goal of dismantling the nuclear family as a unit and replacing it with the extended family as the nuclear family is considered an invention of the bourgeoisie by which women and the proletariat are weakened in society. This concept is an extension of the works of Friedrich Engels, and more specifically the ideas explored in his book, "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State."

[A m e n r i a]

I was about to say "sweet, a nation that isn't degenerate enough to allow such blasphemous acts as same gender marriages", but then YN doesn't recognize real marriages either. :/

There are five minerals on our Earth that disrupt the magnetic field enough to create small pockets isolated from space and time. One such pocket is a golden city in South America nicknamed El Dorado, which is now empty save for some dinosaurs that survived extinction.

[Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium]

Like that Dinosaurs now rule el dorado

Alpes is currently trying to take down a colonial revolution. Because of it trying to extend its control over its colonies and integrate them as departments and provinces of the empire. But this also made the colonies loss all autonomy, all regional laws, and the will of the emperor being enforced by his secret police. So many of the major citizens and aristocrats either tried to organize a council to communicate with the emperor and parliament. They were unable to get a council with the emperor or parliament but did get permission to form a congress and create a plan to decide the future of the colonies to be approved by the emperor and parliament. They tried but realized that no matter what they suggested wouldn't be approved. So in all their wisdom, they decided to declare an independent kingdom separate from Alpes. They are now currently trying to win the revolutionary war and draft a constitution for the current Commonwealth of Nova Alpes and France

Well, this sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?

After the conquest and partition of the Caphtorite Empire in 1742, the remaining rump state was adjoined to the Necunian League of Republics as the eighth Republic; the Caphtorite language, which had previously been an unrecognised minority in league territories, became the leagues co-offical language along with Necunian. There is an imbalance, however, as Necunian is heavily favoured over Caphtorite in official contexts, and only one of the eponymous Eight Republics, the Republic of Caphtor, uses Caphtorite as its administrative language. As a result, Caphtorite-speakers may experience linguistic discrimination outside of their home republic, while Necunian-speakers may experience the same within the Republic of Caphtor.

[Asgardia]

There's really just no logical reason for language discrimination

Asgardia was created in 1950 by the unification on the recently decolonized Western Asia. Since the 1960s Asgardia has been under a liberal government, creating equality in many areas including religion. (OOC: Unlike in real timeline, In Asgardia Islam and Jewish people live peacefully, as a result, many IRL conflicts have never occurred including the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Iraq War, War in Afghanistan, or the Israeli–Palestinian conflict). The Middle East has not been in a state of war since 1953.

[The Brytish Isles]

Quite an unbelievable series of events. The Middle East? A peaceful, liberal democracy? Nah, that would never happen so long Islam remains alive in the region.

---

The Brytish government forbids self-segregation, a practice used by some ethnic and religious minorities. Pakistani and other Islamic communities were the largest practitioners of self-segregation, but these communities were forcibly integrated into Brytish society. This led to a significant drop in the use of Urdu, Arabic, and the much less pious/devout attitudes of the youth.

[Neo-Unified Nations]

Welp, Unification is a thing, and it seems to be too far.

NUNIT have 3 units dedicated to special tasks, such as Mobile Task Force Alpha-1, who answer to Simmons, only Simmons, they are frequently named the 'Red Right Hand Men' inside NUNIT due to being those who do Simmons' dirty work, meanwhile Alpha-2 specializes in reality, topographical, and mathematical altering supernatural extermination, during one incident they had terminated a supernatural who had altered a farm to grow lots of crops, and burned them, and Alpha-3 specializes in the psychic field, they can use machines that generate psychic attacks so they can deal with psychic supernaturals who were a pain in the butt for the Neo-UN, and can create small psychic attacks capable of disrupting.

Interesting, tho I barely even see the purpose of it.

The official faith of Quebec is Post-Theism. It is bassically a form of christianity that states that God, to resucitate Jesus, sacrificed itself. It permits to explain the stories of old while allowing the development of the new, without the constraint of "Would god approve of this."

[Nu-Cascadia]

A clever side-step, and ultimately safe from schism. It seems unnecessary at that point, but perhaps it exists as a societal adhesive. Hm.

The Cascadian domestic agricultural industry is entirely hydroponically grown in large, AI-tended vertical farms. Meat is regarded as a luxury, to be specially ordered from exclusive vendors.

[The Royal American Commonwealth]

That's an interesting religion and, if I understand correctly, Jesus absorbed God's 'spirit' when they chose to sacrifice themselves?

AN:

Good. Not much else to say than good. I support this unconditionally.

King George III of the House of Hohenzollern met his future wife, Princess Eva of North Rhine-Westphalia, in 1969 and 1984. They are third cousins once removed through Prince Louis Ferdinand. Their first meeting occurred during Eva's first birthday in 1969 when his family attended the occasion - he was 10 years old and had no feelings towards her at the time.

However, by their second encounter in 1984 they began to exchange letters and, reportedly, fell in love in the summer of 1985. They were eventually married in 1988 when George was 30 and Eva was 20. The next year, Eva gave birth to their first son, Cooper.

First of all, the American chap is correct. Second, it kinda does serve that societal adhesive purpose, because it allows both religion and science to coexist peacefully, because Jesus of Nazareth was proven to exist. It is quite simply put the only way to have technical irreligion as a church.
