This is great!
I have interest in military equipment, especially armoured vehicles.

I'll have to go with this one. Certainly the first time I've seen a project of this nature.
     

Dictator-backed dedication to absolute civil freedoms, ultrabureaucratic pseudo-socialism and heavily-armed neutrality.
Fueled by PMT*/FanT nanopunk schizotech, eldritch red tape and snazzy neo-cold war aesthetics on a broken continent.

Mainly because it’s the only one with content, but it’s still pretty good.
An Oligarchic state where the ultra-rich govern a nation of entrepreneurs and innovators. Just as corrupt, hedonistic and materialistic as you think, despite its progressive policies and emphasis on quality of life.

Telegram me things you want me to put in the "Codex Imperialis"
The Imperium of Sol (or simply 'the Empire') is a FFT Interstellar Imperium with a Roman and Gothic aesthetic that is engaged in a Great Crusade against 'the Enemy'. The setting is a horrid Frankenstein of numerous Sci-Fi Universes (predominantly 40k and Doctor Who/Faction Paradox). No, the Empire isn't British nor is it's name referencing Queen Victoria.
NS Stats are for nerds. I don't use them and neither should you (if you must, use stats as an indicator of the "average Civilized World"). With that said, according to this index, the Victoran Empire is a Tier 10, Level 8, Type 9 civilization with a Power Comparator of 3.9

International Relations by far. The maps, flags and logos are lit. Apart from that, I'm also fascinated at trying to conceptualize a world without WW2 or the Cold World as we know it, as my lore heavily relies on the latter.

Neko Ethnography- What's New Pussycat? and not just because I love the title. The factbook is well organized and easy to read while having a bunch of lore which is fun. If you were going to ask my favorite though, that would be History in Images because I love the pretty drawings.

Best AN's factbook/dispatch (In my opinion): https://www.nationstates.net/nation=dro ... id=1213523


Why? Unlike most of other military factbooks, the info is presented with images for all of the tanks, weapons, artillery, grenades, and such. Text is on the image as well. While I myself would never use photos specifically for SC to such extent (As I don't really feel comfortable with most of image hosting sites, and have uploaded only a few SC's stuffs), it is a nice take.


Criticisms? That being said, the factbook is still a tad short. I know, that adding images is a lot harder than writing text, but perhaps a number of the personnel in active service/reserve would be a nice addition. Also, the symbol of the armed forces (I assume?) looks kind of... blurred.


Recommendations? Well, more pictures would be an one thing, but maybe some info about the other branches of your army could be good?
