Most people agree on one thing, though: these next few years will make or break Macronesia. If they can increase the population and become technologically advanced enough, the government will be able to start to build a sustainable economy and rescue the nation from the grip of a constant military focus. If it can't do that in time, it will surely perish at the hands of global superpowers.

Let's hope it doesn't become a puppet of the US

Instead, they prefer to fight 'dirty', with hit and run tactics, petty warfare, sabotage, raids, and in some cases even actions some would consider terroristic, such as the execution of enemy nobility and torching camps, to sew dissidence among armies and even civilian populations.

Terrorist gang rise up.

The partisans are more often than not without professional training. However, their devotion to the ideology of FenexOrg is not to be underestimated, and there are cases of especially fanatical members who are able to ignore pain and injury due to ideological fervor.

"The cultural glue that would maintain the cities' cooperation would hinge on the two concepts of archa (lit. 'beginning') and telus (lit. 'end'). To the Diarcesians, these mean much more than its literal meaning; the archa is the audacity to set ideas into motion, and the telus is the tenacity to see it to completion."
This was striking to me because it reminded me of a quote I like; 'Do not allow the quest for knowledge to be paralytic. Only through action can you iterate on your belief.'

The lower class (12% of the country) work for 105 hours a week, 15 hours a day for 7 days a week. They work from 7 AM to 9PM. They're inmates fighting in stadiums for their lives. They are elementary school dropouts who turned to crime, with an average income of 12k PAD (each fight pays 35 PAD, enough to pay for 2 meals a day)

This place is such a capitalist nightmarescape that it's funny.

The Cold War was a period of indirect conflict between the most powerful of these blocs: the Socialist Internationale, the British Commonwealth, the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere and the Organisation of American States. The Caribbean was one of the signatory powers of the fourth of these major blocs, though many of its interventions in the Cold War were for its own interests rather than that of the organisation as a whole.

That sort of setup could make for a very interesting thriller action show or movie. Maybe even a spy game.

The traps they attempted to use failed and it was only when the mages who were searching for the runaway princess found her that they were able to banish the demon and save the child.

Poland, Bulgaria, Greece, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Yemen and Yugoslavia militarily supported the Syrian government in fights against the FSA, ISIS and the other jihadist or rebel groups.

Suggesting Assad and the IR fought against ISIS lmao, or much worse that Saddam's Iraq wouldn't be arming ISIS

Over the last 25 years, the Caribbean has had the fastest-growing economy in the Americas, with an average real GDP growth rate of 5.4% between 1992 and 2014. GDP growth between 2014 and 2020 reached 12.4%

On december 28, many ex-crypto-fascists anarcho-capitalists, who were now libertarian socialists, revolted againsts the oppresive gangs in L.A.. The revots went for a whole day, before our brave ANTIFA supersoldiers took over L.A.. Later that day, many other libertarian socialists took over gang territory in the west coast and Hawaii, leading to the creation of an united People's goverment on december 30.

Jesus Christ.... What kind of political ping-pong is this!? From fascist to AnCap to LibSoc to ANTIFA. All these ideologies are anathema to one another. Its like a 16-year-old who just discovered the political cimpass

The result was a massive brawl, which will become known as the "Battle of the Legislators", in which the Communists won.

When running for a seat in the Japanish Fortreadershouse, she was known for her fiery redes which nearly always ended in "Shina horobubeshi", which means "China must be tostoered"; indeed she said to a Japanish news broadcaster that the Romish statesman Cato the Elder, who is known for saying "Carthago delenda est", was her beghaster.

Cringe, especially knowing the two nations' history

[Shov Scien]

"Southern Democrats saw Cuba was something of vital importance, believing their economic and political interests would be best served by the admission of another slave state to the Union. The existence of slavery in Cuba, the island's plantation economy based on sugar and its geographical location predisposed it to Southern influence and its admission could greatly strengthen the position of Southern slaveholders. As more free states were admitted to the Union in the western territories, the Slavers' position became more fragile."

Disgusting. I love it.
Mostly because I could absolutely see it happening. The entire history factbook in general feels very genuine and realistic overall and makes it feel like, had history been even slightly different, this absolutely could have happened. Very immersive, 10/10 worldbuilding.

Later, mining operations in the asteroid belt and extrasolar surveys were done by drones, and the Moon became a hub for most operations within and outside the Allayi system.

Barring the practicality of light-lag making this kind of difficult to pull off, I've always liked seeing uninhabitable worlds become important, somehow, and this scenario definitely doesn't disappoint! ^.^

It was- emphasis on was- primarily governed until very recently by the Confederacy of Liam's Reach, or more simply the Confederacy and generally the Reach, a state very proud of its semi-democratic nature in a stellar environment not friendly to that sort of thing and very, very eager to give its neighbors a taste of democracy.

Was George Bush's great-great-great-great grandson the leader of the Confederacy by any chance?
