This is a great newspaper style Factbook. I'm impressed.
Socially quite liberal, economically a bit more authoritarian. Not a fan of organized religion or traditional family values or the present social order. You've been warned.

Despite the constant howling of feint-hearted 'conservatives' about socialist states being authoritarian. Most of the time there isn't any really evidence to back such claim up. Until now, so it seems like you'll plan to strike them hard in the heart with a factbook dedicated to this exact fear.

Your overview is REALLY nice. I love how it's formatted like a leaflet (kind of), which isn't something I often see here, and the complementary graphics and colours really add to that. I particularly like how you've also made your own religions here.

Your OOC factbook also deserves a mention, kind of like reading a mini biography, very nice.

I like how you've gone over one of your communes in detail which also goes over its current situation including the architecture. Great map in your overview, by the way. :)

Okay, the first thing I see when I click 'factbooks' is a website. That's fun. Of course, it's not finished. But whatever.

But all of them are great, well formatted and not just big blobs of text. But, this is one of the ones that are (mostly) finished, so it's gotta be:

I do love it when authoritarian nations don't sugar their opponents as merely 'easy pickings' and actually factors in the enemy's environment into the equation. Even though, you describe the Maxtopian military as being 'weaker' than a goldfish. I appreciate the fact you haven't used that as an excuse to ignore the deaths of your soldiers freezing in the loving hands of the Maxtopian winter.

Well, most of your dispatches are related to region politics, which is a part of this game which I have never really gotten into, so I honestly don't understand them much, although they all look very well done, with quite a nice eye-catching format. You also have some lovely factbooks about your nation itself, such as your overview, which also features what I have already said, plus some very well-selected images and certainly well-written content.

However, if I have to choose one of your factbooks as "the best one" I think I would go with Black History Month [2022]. I'm not from the US, and neither am I from a country with a lot of ethnic tensions, so the topic of this factbook is, quite literally, a bit too foreign to me, and I obviously did not hear about this "black history month" before, other than it occasionally being mentioned around the internet without much context. It was quite interesting to learn about what this thing actually is about, and also learn about its importance for the US. I also enjoyed the three short biographies you presented in the factbook, in particular, that of Lewis Latimer. I think it is, overall, a very well-crafted factbook, that is both short and concise, while also providing a lot of resources and links to keep reading if you are curious.
