1) The Allfather was a General of the old Northern Nations of Atis, and he, unlike his compatriots, decided to stay back with the people who couldnt fit onto the escaping ships as the planet was infected. He was the one who set up the countdowns to eradicate the Galaxian invaders via nuclear bombardment. And he was the one who took hundreds of thousands of survivors into massive underground complexes and taught them to survive. His teachings spread across the world rapidly, and it become the defacto political and theocratic sect.

But that begs the question of that his beliefs were. The primary tenants of the faith were that from the point past the bombs, the world and nature needed to be preserved, that community was an integral part of a race, both temporally and spiritually, and that the concept of a unified deity is incorrect, and that the spiritual side of reality is chaotic, but yet still of value. The waste and pollution of the old nations had crippled many regions, and though Rulzea were always somewhat environmentalist, he pushed that such a decision needed to be deepened. He said that family and community were integral, that ideology connected communities and united their spirits, and that comradery and unity were integral. Finally, his teachings on the spiritual side of reality were extensive, but can be boiled down to a few things: The Universe is Inhabited by many inhuman spirits. These spirits choose not to keep names or identities, and some are good, and some are bad. These spirits live off of connections and relations of sentients. When we die, our souls enter into the spirit realm, to live among the universe, but these spirits seek to impact sentients rather than live on their own. Influences, ideologies, good and bad, nature and the world around us, all can be influenced by these external spirits to an extent. As such, the faith concludes that spirits often choose a singular individual to unify a species under an ideology. This is that ideology's Allfather. And so, the Allfather told his people that they should work to be a good people, to bring good from the spirits, and from themselves.

There are several differing arguments though as to the 'correct' way to interpret his teachings. The River Republics, which eventually became the UCBR, argued that a democratic and communal system was the best way to follow these rulings. The people would be equal and have impact on their community together, ensuring the good of everyone, and ensuring the community grows. The Raltean Empire, who are the monarchs that set off the UCBR's monarchist hate, argued that they were the descendants of the Allfather, since they were Northern Burrowers like him, and they inhabited the origin region of the Allfather. They argued that the spirits chose him, and since his blood flowed in their veins, this choice followed with them. They argued that their strength allowed the state to stay united, and allowed them to ensure the community stayed peaceful and united. The final main interpenetration of the ideology is that of The Plainwalkers, or The Seltran, who followed a warband/tribal community for a short period before willingly joining The Union, and eventually picking up their flavor of The Cult. Before then though, they believed that the strength of a warband leader ensured that unity stayed among his people. They argued the Allfather's mentioned communities were smaller in scale than nations, which preserved their tendency to wage war amongst each other. They thought the spirits fed more off of conflict, and as such, they fought for almost the entirety of their existance.

Even the High Council recognizes that there is no one true way of interpreting The Allfather's teachings though, as a semi-unspoken fourth tenant of the faith is that spiritualism is an individual's journey. As one grows, they must find out their beliefs, and find out if their community is the one for them. Since they must find a community in which they can live comfortably, their spiritualism must be individual, and accepted by them rather than anyone else.

2) There are some, but not many. Genetic Engineering is actually widely available in The Union, but not for frivolous means. The danger of the chance of genetic corruption, as well as the expense of procedure, means that it is restricted to pregnancies that have a high chance of birth defects that would either majorly impact the child's life negatively, or lead to their death. Things such as designer babies are not allowed however, and some even argue the concept of it goes against their ideology.

AI is also not taboo, after all, there is an AI with an honorary seat on the council. AI's are not recognized as individuals with rights, since as of yet the Union only has one that can be considered sapient, so they're both not banned and not regulated.

There is one major caveat though: Organ Donation and Corpse Repurposing. A part of the Spiritual side of The Cult of The Allfather states that a sentient's body is the only thing anchoring its soul to the mortal side of the universe. As such, when a sentient creature dies, its body must be destroyed, as to allow it to return. Though decay is accepted, most Rulzea prefer cremation, as it more quickly destroys any physical remains. There is a second side to this belief however, that being what happens if the body is not destroyed. Since Rulzea, and most animals on Atis, are herbivorous, the consumption of meat is already very very taboo. As such, there are special rites for the creatures that might kill and eat a Rulzea. If a sentient's flesh is eaten by anything, digested and made a part of this consumer, their soul becomes trapped in that body. It is considered a grave sin and incredibly painful for a soul to be fragmented like that, so the consumer is hunted down, slaughtered, and burnt to allow for the spirit to be free. Organ donation was originally considered to be in the same light, since it was a part of your body becoming a part of someone else. Several theologians argued however that one willingly giving up their body released the soul from it, as they intended for it to become someone else, which benefited the community. As such, while no longer outright taboo, organ transplantation is given a much more sacred thought in The Union.

3)This is a hard one.... Hmmm... Like if we're talking anything, probably the xenomorphs, simply because wild alien predators with a colonial structure is freaking rad.

MORE QUESTIONS for multiple nations this time. Sorry if some of them are a bit short/memey, and most of these are probably not gonna produce a lot of lore rambling, but still.

Yeshobel:
1.) For Yeshobel, how do you make sure that the IC writing style stays consistent rather than being all over the place? This is a bit more of a practical question, but still.
2.) Cap'n Shelby Donovan looks like a chad. Where exactly do you plan on taking this character?
3.) Could you tell Duncan Easom to stop hanging pirates? You're making Cap'n Denver Hale sad

Miranda-22:
1.) I've noticed that none of the deputies have images. You suffering from the curse of google images as well?
2.) Speaking of deputies, those logos for the Deputies are sexy. Do you prefer GIMP or Paint.net? (Or something else entirely?)
3.) What are the favorite drinks of all 6 established characters of Miranda-22?

CBG-Palisade:
1.) What exactly is your vision for the Assembly of Free Nations? I get a really nice sorta half-grungy half-'workingclass' aesthetic from it.
2.) For Rainier, does it feel different do describe an AI in comparison to, lets say, a human?
3.) Has anyone pointed out the fact Sacha kinda looks like evil!Ambrosia?

Outer Acharet:
1.) Why did you decide to retcon Acharet? Not that I am complaining, I like it.
2.) Why are the parties given such simple names? "Home" and "Industry" sound like parts of a motto rather than full parties themselves imo, unless the intent was to create a sorta eerie atmosphere.
3.) Does Mr. Smith still go on fishing trips?

Kiu Ghesik:
1.) I have two related questions that I might as well combine into one. Who are the Nalbus? Alternatively, have you thought of the greater world of Kiu Ghesik or just the nations they'd immediately be interacting with?
2.) Seeing how monotheism is so untypical for a nation that "low" on the societal and technological tech tree, what made you decide to have just one god rather than a bunch of them? I guess it still has the winds, clouds, and spirits that do exert influence over the world, but I am still curious.
3.) If I went up to Ari and hugged her, would she stab me? I wanna know because you made me feel sad. frick u

Misc:
1.) What got you on NS?
2.) How's your day been?

Cavirfi wrote:Are you gonna make a factbook of Oloughin or is Oloughin just a footnote?

1.) Why does your constitution not only enforce chivalry, but also enforces a very gender neutral version of it?
2.) Typically, even small nations varies in geography quite a bit. Except Kansas. Is Cavirfi located in the Novia equivalent of Kansas?
3.) Why does your anthem use 2 tunes within it rather than being consistent throughout?

- Staring off with the most obvious / basic question: What would you say is the most difficult nation that you have done out of the many you have written?
- What started you off and inspired you into military/MT-PMT based stuff? I know C&C plays a part in lore, but is there something that really jumpstarts it?
- In The World, 2023, which faction is your favorite? For me, I definitely dig The Sino-Asian-African Hegemony and would love to see more about them. ^^
- More on The World in 2023, what happened to the smaller nations inside of these bigger factions? Did they have to conform to everything, or did they retain some degree of their own culture and traditions?

@Val Z

1. When did you get into F7?
2. What inspired your education system?

A1: Ahh, I think my first few posts are around December 2015. A month after I was founded, I wasted no time looking at the forums, and well, F7 was nice and warm. ^^
A2: Singapore's Education System more or less, right down to the Primary/Secondary/Tertiary school systems. But I am dropping the exams because I don't want Val Z to be the paperchase society that RL Singapore is known for.

1. Ideas, definitely. Most Yoopers agree that the end of the world was the prophesied Ragnorok described in old Norse mythology. Those who don't are typically either heretics or believers of other religions.
2. Yes, actually. Paul Bunyan saved Thor from certain death by Jörmungandr, sucking out and spitting out Jörmungandr's venom on the 8th pace. As such, he is considered to be the savior of Thor and Humanity as a whole.
3. I've wanted to make a Viking nation for awhile now, so I decided that rather make an entirely original one that would end up just being a kinda boring Viking-wank/anti-viking-wank, I would attach it to the Wexasverse which means silliness ensues

A1. Good god, it has to be UNSPDC. Cold War stuff is hard to account for because there's so much going on at the same time that my brain can hurt.
A2. Mostly playing shit like Call of Duty and actually studying the militaries I sort of 'idolize'. It's quite fun collecting information about militaries.
A3. The United States of America, unlike most of the nations/power blocs, it's just keeping its old territory and is just trying to survive.
A4. Well, it's a zig-zag. For the PPA-PF, they retain their culture, traditions, and autonomy. For the SAAH, they force them into their culture, for the EU, they simply wipe them out. The USA and Russia are their own nation so they get to keep their stuff.

do skip this one if you want, it's basically a joke anyways.


1) I've been considering reversing the times a bit to set Charles and Montse's story in the 1950s or 1940s to give some consistency to them being alts of Nova and Charlie, as well as to make the noir themes even more present and maybe make Charles even more dislikeable as well. But the problem is me having enough time with an RP on the way, an RP that needs to be finished, and my plans to talk about LP's alternate Space Race. AND I still need to make a leader for Tohorin. *sighs* Val is right, setting up deadlines is futile.

2) Without knowing? He could blend in and just rub off as a stingy grandpa. Knowing of his atrocities? Tepka/Montse will want to gut him with a sword in an instant and I'm not sure if Charles would want to stop her. PM Zepeda, Nova and Rairai would just scoot away from the area. Grandpappy Kamjin will probably be disgusted but stay superficially cordial.

3) I'd say it's the detail to tones and shades, hell, the details in general. A good example of this is Gunsmith Cats OVA; take a gander at the scenes of Chicago (warning, the images are big and may take time to load), which IIRC, were scouted by actual people. Though the characters are abit more stylized, but they're charming too. I actually based my old Montse design off of the show's main character. Special mentions go to The Big O from 1999 and the Patlabor movies from the 1990s, details too, though I like the story as well. Oh, and Perfect Blue, which I also think got more than borrowed from by Black Swan. Neo Tokyo also and Memories also convinced an impressionable 16-19 year old into thinking that animation was a narrative technique worthy of being considered artistic in it's merits.

Of course, it's a little unfair, as most of the 80s-90s shows/movies I mentioned were fairly big budget projects (and most have a gritty story related to crime), but I feel that digitalized coloring uses garishly distracting palettes and I'm no fan of the use of brighter colors and glossy lighting that seem to have become generalized. Sorry Sanghyeok, wherever you are.

TL;DR: I arbitrarily think the stories had a better quality (or seemed more innovative back then) and I'm an ink patrician that looks down on digitalized paint, most of the time.

PS: Also, if you're interested, you should look up the "Magnetic Rose" short of Memories (1995), it's plot is actually quite similar to the song that inspired CBG Palisade.



4) I'd say I lag behind on coding and factbook design. That could be a lot better.

5) Oh, I'd say Old-Montse had 3.5 to 4 times more personality than the current Nu-Montse. My rough guess is that she'd give Amaki or Empress Alexandria a run for their money.

Cavirfi wrote:Are you gonna make a factbook of Oloughin or is Oloughin just a footnote?

No, as there's nothing I can put in a factbook about a dead man that wouldn't fit better in a history factbook.

:ominous_hb:

1) I don't actually, Yeshobel is pretty early in the drafting phase and so the prose is pretty all over the place. What's there is so consistent largely because Lisbet is very easy to write- she intentionally exaggerates her own writing style, and so I can get all flourishy with her. Other than that, the nation just has a very distinct "voice" to fall into when I'm writing from an IC perspective, so it gets easier as time goes on, I suppose.
2) Donovan is actually the member of the cast I'm most excited to write- he's a very, well, distinct lad. In essence his role is kind of up in the air- he's the de-facto boss of the whaling fleet that anchors in the Reginas, despite not commanding the largest ship in the fleet, because he's the most blustery of the captains and willing to stand up to Easom's strongmen and Meadows' cuntish attitude. He tends to be lauded by Lisbet's paper pretty often for being a "working-man's hero" of sorts in the islands, but in reality all he wants to do is just vibe if at all possible and be left alone like he was in the past. But unfortunately that's not in his fate- with shit going upside down abroad and Acharet right next door currently involved in telling Paul II to shove his royal scepter right up his ass, people like Easom are getting more and more of an excuse to take people like Donovan's livelihoods away in the name of stabilizing a chaotic world.
3) No, Easom will do the Crown proud whether Hale likes it or not

4) Ayup. They've got pretty specific concepts in mind and I don't really know how to find them without going down rabbit-holes I don't have the time to look through or spending money I don't have.
5) They were made in paint.net. GIMP is disgust and I refuse to use it. I've got an old, outdated, yar-har-fiddle-dee-dee'd copy of PS lying about, but my potato computer refuses to run it at anything more than twenty FPS and the fans make funny sounds if I have it open for more than five minutes, so all I use it for is the spot-healing tool.
6) Bertie prefers a smoky bourbon when he gets a chance, Rubin doesn't care anymore and takes whatever he can find, Lilja seems like a dessert wine kind of girl to me, Dani drowns her pain in Bertie's moonshine, Lukas probably gets that pure vodka for kicks, and Marc canonically enjoys the absolutely cursed open-license """"Coke"""""" knockoff beer.

7) The Assembly is, in a word, assfucked. As a power, they existed largely independently for about a hundred years now- since 2900 or so they've managed to essentially turn what amounted to a political movement into a united front by virtue of being better than the opposition. Ice-mafias are good for no one's business, after all, and so there was broad popular support for the Stepanovists in the 95th Corridor despite the inherent lack of military strength in the ideology. However, they've since been bullied into the Gang of Twelve and basically turned into the Network's bottom, which has put them in a very weird situation. They lack the political power to boot the Network out, and so right now they're being forced to watch as their revolutionary spirit gets ground down from the inside out by the people they fought so hard to keep out, at least from an ideological standpoint. The end goal is to portray that, but they're ultimately a minor power in terms of Liam's Reach itself- at least, they seem to be. But people like the Free League are very receptive to their overtures, and having an independent ally would certainly help them dig out of this hole they're in. But alas, everything else is [SPOILERS] and shall not be mentioned. Not until I get off my ass and write them, anyways.
8) Oh, it's incredibly different. Rainie and her bunch think in entirely different terms than humans do, and while as time goes on they're learning to approximate human "emotions" through survival needs and emergent phenomena in their hardcode, they're essentially an entirely different headspace I have to get into to write accurately. It's very difficult to convey emotion for something that doesn't feel emotion the same way we do. However, historically it's much easier to write a machine empirically than a person, which fits the FREERANGE tone much better and thus flows easier. Their prose is going to be fun, let's just say that.
9) Someone has now. She'd certainly take that as a compliment too, since she's biologically twice Ambie's age and chronologically even older, but hey, rejuvenation therapy gonna rejuvenate.

10) Because it was crap, plainly speaking. It had no conflict, nowhere to go, no hook- hopefully that'll change. And the characters are gonna get pretty fucky.
11) The original idea was to emulate things like "Tory" and "Labor" and "Green", but it wasn't all that well executed. Now it's just a quirk of Acharet as a state.
12) Yep, he's still a nice homey guy personally. Of course now he has to deal with the boys in the black Hueys shadowing him at every turn, which is... predictably unnerving for a man who had no idea what he was getting into and just wanted to engage in some good healthy corruption to crest his career and get his pa's company some tax cuts.

13) The Nalbus don't exist- what does exist is a city-state called Nalbus, which is controlled by a Northerner and represents something of a window into their culture that the Ghesites can interact with. I have thought about the greater world somewhat but not too much; for instance there is the matter of the sub-Kiadan people the Ghesites are descended from, but they won't play a center-stage role nationally and so they're not that important as anything but a footnote.
14) The idea of a monotheistic cosmos isn't actually that atypical, I think. They're pantheists more accurately- the winds and such do act as divinities in their own right, but the Mother exists both as a single entity (in Her expression in the Upper realm) and as the entirety of the cosmos (in Her true form, embodying the universe). She is everything, but She can't influence everything in the sense that one cannot tell their heart to stop beating, and so Her mechanism of life is carried out by the subdivinities She creates, if that makes sense. It's a bit of a clusterfuck. Though there's also the fact that I was aware that "Turkic religions were semi-monotheistic" when I first wrote her at play here too, so... I dunno, subconscious inspiration.
15) Depends if you know her, tbh. If you'd met her before and left a good impression she'd tolerate it, otherwise you'd likely get bodied back by Khensu or someone before you got within ten feet. She's not very touchy-feely, you know.

16) I saw it in a post on r/worldbuilding, which I used to lurk. I then went "hey, cool!" and joined because coof had isolated me from my amateur writing group and one look at F7 told me this was something of a writing forum.
17) Decent. Not perfect, I haven't had a really "good" day for months now for reasons I'll probably explain eventually, but it's been pretty okay.

2. For Kentauria- it seems like a really interesting and unique nation, and I suppose was wondering as to how you came up with it, and what you've got planned for it?
3. For Ulyenstad- what would you say are your plans for it? Also, how do you feel its relations are with Daarwyth?
4. Finally, you've got great flags for all your nations! Did you make them, and if not, where'd you find them? And if you did make them, I suppose "How so?" is the best question.


The answers were longer than expected, so I spoilered them!
1. Thanks! Regarding the toxicity, I am not sure if that is the correct word to use, but what I can most definitely say is that the environment can be/appear harsh and unforgiving. There is a marked difference between the drafting environment in Got Issues and the World Assembly sub forums. The attitudes in the former appear to be kinder and more focused to really help someone improve or get better (if they show they want to improve ofc, and listen to feedback). This is different in the World Assembly forums, where I get the feeling that even the smallest of mistakes already draws ire. As such, I would say that the learning curve in that part of NS is incredibly steep. The best way to conduct yourself there is to adopt a strong sense of humility as a newcomer, and truly and sincerely listen to the feedback that you get. What really helped me was to adopt the attitude of "these are people experienced in WA affairs, so I should listen to them". Even if in my mind I disagreed with a comment or piece of advice, I kept that to myself most of the time, and tried to implement their commentary as best as I could into my drafts. In the end, what it really boils down to is to not take the comments, feedback and attitudes expressed there personally. Even if some of the comments really may seem that way, the key piece of advice I can give there is to simply distance yourself from it. "This is about my draft, not me as a person", and using a character for that (for example my nation's WA Representative Maria vyn Nysen) helps to create that distance, I feel.
2. Thank you! :) I came up with Kentauria because I really wanted a space-themed nation, but I wasn't a fan of a big, galaxy-spanning empire that ruled the stars. I wanted something meaningful, but a little bit more realistically/small scaled. So, I started looking for named stars in the Milky Way, but nothing really stuck. Until I realised that I was looking way too far out, when there was something cool nearby, namely Alpha Centauri. I started toying around with names for the nation, and it appeared that Kentauria was still available on NS, so that's how Kentauria came to be. For the future, I hope to expand the lore on the nation, describe the history, government and culture etc., and hopefully I'll one day join some RP on that nation :)
3. My plans for Uylensted are fairly similar as to the ones I have for Kentauria, namely expand the lore and history etc. and hopefully engage with some RP on that nation in the future. In terms of the relationship with Daarwyrth, I imagine them to be close in the present, but my concept for both is that Uylensted resisted Daarwyrth's attempts of annexing it (diplomatically at first and then by force), which eventually led to a development of mutual respect of one another's strengths. I see them as close allies at the moment, but Daarwyrth is the more isolationist of the two, while Uylensted is sort of the open gateway to the Daarwyrthian peninsula.
4. Thank you so much for the compliment, I really appreciate it! I did indeed make (or better said compose) them myself. Basically, I use Paint and Paint 3D for flag-making, and what I do is I create a basic template for the design (for example a blue, white and golden tricolour for Daarwyrth) and then search on Google Images for components, such as the wreath, the crown or the fleur-de-lis. I usually try to find vectors that already are transparent, but if they're not I use Paint 3D to make them transparent. Then I compose those parts into a whole, like with Daarwyrth's flag on the basic template. So, in essence, it's partially my own work, and partially using the work of others on Google and compose them into something new :)

Why did The Primaeri slaughter the Aerlanicans?



Oh goodie! a question about an RP going on in the Cape of Good Hope!

Get ready for a LORE DUMP!!!!!

Well, one of my first Rp's saw a mysterious Extra-Terrestrial force attack Aerlanica before it was disarmed and killed with it's own rifle. Time passes and then, in the wake of a particularly aggressive attack on the Aerlanican nation and after extra-solar colonising efforts (after we stole the space age tech from some other people, don't ask), a giant f%$# off fleet appeared in orbit over Aerlanica and decided to invade, then when the Aerlanicans repelled the invasion (albeit with high casualties) they were just bombarded from space...the entire homeland.

Now initially, you may be forgiven for thinking that they slaughtered the Aerlanicans simply because they were too hard to invade.

In reality, in the past the Grand Emperor of the Primaeri had a brother, who opposed the despotic tyranny and genocidal tendencies of the empire under his brother. After a violent civil war where the empire largely collapsed into an extremely tiny rump state that stole away into a pocket dimension (causing their tech to recess significantly), the brother passed on a portion of his genetics, specifically something called a "biocode."

Explained to a nation called Monsone (super cool person/Nation to RP with), a biocode gives access to various tech in the Primaeri military, think of it as a keycard, if you will. While a normal foot soldier may be able to use a rifle, and a tanker may be able to use a tank, the higher ups also gain access to a wider range of things, with the Grand Emperor being, of course, at the top and possessing a "Skeleton Key" of sorts

Since the brother passed his genetics onto a group of people, who later became the Aerlanicans, it gave the Aerlanicans near unlimited access to the Primaeri technology (as discovered when the gun was turned against the user in Aerlanica). In effect, the Aerlanicans are capable, if they get to certain areas, of shutting down planetary shields and orbital defence arrays, cutting off entire power grids by the tap of a few buttons, hijacking space craft and acquiring weapons. And the only person who can override their orders is the Grand Emperor himself

The Grand Emperor is a very paranoid individual, and wishes for every aspect of his protection to be doubled and even tripled constantly. So when an entire nation of hardened, battle scarred and extremely hardy individuals who can bring your empire to you knees, start reaching out into space and breeding like rabbits? you see it as a threat. And the Grand Emperor is not known to leave a job half done.

With two of the planets under Olivavan Occupation, and the other three hidden, the Grand Emperor is trying, desperately, to purge the Aerlanican genetic from the entire universe because as of yet it is the single biggest threat to his rule.

(^For the Brave^)

TL:DR; the Aerlanicans are being targeted for Genocide by the Primaeri because the Aerlanicans can use all the Primaeri tech unrestricted and the Primaeri don't want to share.

That was the end of the LORE DUMP!!!!!!

First off, I read it all, and that is some fucking amazing writing and lore. Well done! I love that you gave the Grand Emperor a reason to slaughter the Aerlanicans, it makes him feel more like a real person and shows his reasoning behind his actions. I love the idea of biocode as well. And I can see why Aerlanicans are fucking pissed.

Q1) So for some reason while I read the whole thing about Bassain in the AL marriage thread I went, "Wait, that kinda seems a little uncharacteristic of her," would you say that Bassaine in TLoT would do something similar to that and go as a masked savior for Euphrosyne?

Q2) When writing Bassaine, did you base it off of someone you know?

Q3) Alright, the question of the century, Ilitu VS Euphrosyne, which one do you enjoy more?


Q1) So who exactly is this Skeppy person in your lore?

Q2) When did you get into countryhumans? Why did you decide to draw them?

Q3) What is the favorite countryhuman that you drew?



Q) What does your flag symbolize? It's a genuinely striking design and I'm curious to know.

A) Thank you for the compliment. As for the symbolism the general shape of the image is supposed to represent the head of a phoenix. In general phoenixes are symbols of hope change, and rebirth, three elements that FenexOrg seeks to embody.


1. Skeppy is a youtuber who plays minecraft. I don't really know how to explain anything, but he likes to troll BadBoyHalo, his best friend. He also likes trapping 100 kids in things. I'm not sure how to mexplain him in terms of Nationstates, but he's basically a kind-of silly guy, except when it comes to some things. If the Nationstates and Nationstates Countryhumans were in the same universe, though, Skeppy wouldn't be the leader of Wingfand, as Wingfand would be the leader.
2. I have actually been in the fandom for about a year. My cousin told me about them, and I just started to like them, mostly because of my first-ever favorite countryhuman, Turkey. A certain video series called Canada x Ukraine has actually helped me be in the fandom for a year. You should watch it, it's pretty cute and explains the fandom well (which means, it may seem dumb, but it's actually more focused on cuteness and not funniness unlike Polandball.) Here's the link by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQzTZfe2p6Q
3. Out of the main Countryhumans, I guess it was either Canada or Onii-San (male, non-furry) Japan. But out of the main countryhumans and my OCs, I'd say TiloTaws/Tilodaw. Not really an OC, but he's basically a softie. I think. I don't know what exactly defines a softie. Let's just say he's moralistic.

1. Okay so I know Deby's death recently (in the battlefield, madlad) is pretty much the reason you made this nation, but what actually made you, like, *want to turn the meme into a nation*? Dgmw I love it, but why?

2. How do you intend to synthesise Marxist philosophy with Islamic principles like Shariah Law? I know you have Islamo-Marxists planned, and needless to say I am i n t e r e s t e d.

3. Will any foreign powers be [intervening] in this conflict, or are the chads left to duke it out among themselves?

1. I always intend to write a Third World, shithole African nation because I'm simply goddamn interested in the dirty politics of the Third World, the civil wars, coups, juntas, despots as well as the effects of neocolonialism had on Africa. This is because NS is filled with Eurocentric democracies and I want to provide an African POV from a nation. The death of Idriss Deby as well as Chad being a meme in itself became the catalyst for Chad's Bizarre Adventure. Funnily enough, Djinns weren't supposed to make an appearance in Chad but after watching too many Jojo as well as wanting to distinguish my work, I included them as a meme until I found it so fun that the Djinns as well as Islamic teachings became a part of CBA.

2. Felix-Rouland's PAF is Islamo-Marxist but leans heavily on Islamo-side and based on Ali Shariati's concept of Red Shi'ism which rejects things like clergy. After the end of the USSR, Marxism simply dropped in popularity and the only way a Marxist movement could grow in the MENA is by synthesizing it with Islam. They wouldn't instate state atheism but rather they aim for a secular chad where the Islamic values of social justice, welfare (zakat alms-giving), reverance of the poor, and land redistribution are emphasized. They lean more towards Islam but they're not stereotypical view of Islamism and might not be the most knowledgeable in Marxism much like Pol Pot but they are not batshit insane like Pol Pot.

3. So far, France has supported the NSG. China and Russia supports the NSG and the PAF. Turkey supports Haftar and Sudan supports the Tribal Front. Really they all care about profiting off from conflict and seeing their desired faction win. The foreign nations aren't the vocal point of CBA, it's the conflict between the Djinn Masters that are the focus.

We Secretly Transfer Equipment to Alternative Locations, and they just so happen to be your army's equipment...

...which we arbitrarily acquired without acquiring prior consent.

Also how is Ichiban Burger and Pizza Zone doing in terms of business?

- Worldbuilding. I love writing stories and coming up with worlds for them to be set in, so that's why it's my primary focus on NS. It might seem weird to some people to make articles on the Gandoor Wiki about seemingly meaningless things like TV shows, video game companies, etc, but that helps people know more about Gandoor and what it's like beyond the governmental stuff, you know? A country is more than just the government, after all.

- IDK, I haven't really checked those in a good while. Probably should at some point but my interest in GE&T ebbs and flows these days. (Doesn't help that it seems that 95% of the content there is just the same shit over and over)

Hey, a few queries for you.

1. are you actually polish

2. what was your inspiration for this polish nation?

3. what are your plans for it?

Did The Primaeri slaughtering your people happen after your civil war that seemingly decimated your entire nation, during it, or before it? It's all very confusing.
