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?

1. Born and raised in England, part of my family did come here from Poland though. Mostly talk to Polish friends and that's really why I'm interested at all.

2. Interest in Polish history, really, not the PLC larp but more interwar period up until 1989 when Solidarność did the thing that continues to make me seethe. Plus, I saw The Troas Sector has a Polish communist nation and I decided to riff on his thing and make one but with my own brand of standard fuckery (haha funny extremist ideology).

3. Eh, I just want to write it semi-normally rather than the narrative thing I have on my main. It's going to be perpetually frozen in PT and 1941, detailing the situations around its invasion of Germany.

[Aerlanica]

-snip-

Ok, here's the timeline of Aerlanica being beaten up.

2017 - Arnold Harrison succeeds in overthrowing the government and placing his one Party system into it, Aerlanican Civil War begins.

2019 - NAP officially surrenders, Aerlanican Federation is formed, radical NAP troops under Carlos Vance begin guerrilla war against central government.

(-RP begins-)

- 2020 -

- a strange, tall individual equipped with space age armour and weaponry arrives and kills fifty three people before his weapon is turned against him. This is foreshadowing of the Primaeri.

- Aerlanica builds alliances

- NAP guerilla war intensifies after General Carlos Vance stages a chemical attack on Aerlanica City (the previous capital)

- Carlos Vance is captured, but then escapes after NAP forces disrupt the court hearing. Carlos Vance makes a deal with Tyramon for weapons and ammunition to fight against the Aerlanican Federation. It is half agreed upon, with both sides planning to betray the other.

- (Roxium Federation begin trying to destroy a world-killer en route towards the planet.)

- Battle for Aerlanica City begins as it is encircled by NAP troops. Intense fighting reduces most the city to rubble before reinforcements arrive.

- Raynesville and the Raynes Valleys are captured by the NAP forces, creating the basis of their "new empire." Is infiltrated by the DDR (Roxium, again)

- Second DDR crisis begins, enemies with superior weapons, number and armour begin to attack the Aerlanicans, causing considerable casualties, however they are eventually defeated.

- World killer reaches planet, but is destroyed after an intense space battle (that I sat out on because no space), Aerlanicans begin stealing technology from downed ships.

- Extra-solar colonising begins with the plans for using the resources to rebuild Aerlanica. Many refugees flee to these new colonies.

2021:

- Reports of a strange disturbance at the edge of the Galaxy begin to arise.

- Primaeri make first contact.

- Primaeri attack several nations on the planet, but are repelled. Primaeri invasion of Aerlanica also begins, but is expelled with high casualties. Aerlanica is orbitally bombarded.

If given time, or just to redo some things here and there, if that is your thing, what would you like to put more time into on NS? In other words, what is that one thing that you genuinely love doing?

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)

Q2) Out of all of your characters, which one do you like to write about the most?
Q3) What do you envision being the canon ending to the RACAverse?
Q4) The question to end all questions, are you good at C&C?

---

Q) Will your nation remain mainly in the ships? or will they ever land on a planet and colonise?
A) I mean, FenexOrg canonically lowers planetary defenses for military takeover so that should probably tell you something. As for whether the majority of operations they would still be conducted on ships as ships are just more flexible and that's, in general, a boon for a terrorist organization such as FenexOrg.

A1. I was thinking about making a C&C nation for a while, and I set it to be in Generals, primarily due to the relatively-recent issues that it highlighted with the War on Terror, the Chinese rising as a superpower, etc. etc. Then I looked to mods to help with my lore, and I set my sights on Rise of the Reds, which had the Russians. Then, I looked to Generals 2 for the European Union as a faction, and, after being tired of western nations being the "good" guys and the easterners being "evil", I switched it around so that the Euros are one of the most evil factions in the RACAverse. The PPA came after I took a look at the factions I had and then realized the potential for a trio of 'protagonist' entities.
A2. Kanata, primarily because she's such an abrasive, manipulative, and angry psychotic person with a grudge of extremely high proportions. I primarily like writing the fact that she's so... friendly in the strongest ways possible, i.e. her abrasive personality trying to fit in with the popular politicians, and her hidden hatred for the Chinese that slips up from time to time.
A3. 2028, after WW3 ends, the GLA launch a second GLA War as one last attempt to light the world on fire. The Second GLA War ends with a pyrrhic PPA victory, with the PPA and RACA earth having to deal with every other issue, Anthrax, lingering radiation, etc. The end is just going to be a "well, what now?" type of thing.
A4. Only Player versus Enemy. In PvP I'm an absolute shitter.

How do the Aerlanicans actually commit an interstellar guerilla war? Quite a curious scenario.

[Aerlanica]

-snip-

Ah? how indeed! how peculiar!

Well, there's a few things going on that we have to take into account.

First of all, the Aerlanican Extra-Solar colonisation was rather secretive; sure, people knew they were going to colonise planet's, but they didn't know where. These planets produce weaponry and equipment, as well as training troops to be sent to any of the occupied planets to train local guerrillas. Space is a massive place, and to find such planets takes a lot of time, especially when (due to FTL travel) they could be on the opposite side of the galaxy.

Talking of FTL travel, the Aerlanicans use something called "Rift Space". effectively, the Aerlanican vessels punch a hole between dimensions and "drop" into a sub dimension, and then leave, through "Rifts". Rift Space is a strange thing; effectively, one unit of metric measurement roughly equates to one million of those metric units, I.e 1 centimetre = 1,000,000 centimetres.

This allows the Aerlanicans to move longer distances very, very, quickly which allows them to outrun the enemy using more conventional FTL technology. This is shared with their ships, which while smaller than most their adversaries vessels, are faster.

This means hit-and-run tactics, general disruption of supply lines, stealing said supplies and dropping troops and equipment on occupied planets behind the defences and fleets. Furthermore, it allows strike teams to eliminate, capture or rescue high value targets, and even hijack ships that can suit their doctrine.

So taking all of these things into account, all the Aerlanicans have to do is lash out and strike at their enemy wherever and whenever they want. They can consolidate their fleets into a unified force or leave them scattered. But the enemy has to protect all their planets and all their installations while also trying to find the planets, suppress the guerrillas and try to interdict the Aerlanican fleets (which they can't.)

In effect, that costs a lot of money, takes a lot of time, and is a real headache. And when the governments of these occupying nations say they're wining, are they really? The Aerlanicans can outrun them, they avoid direct confrontation, they only attack when and where they want.

With the rising costs, the constant loss of life and so on and so forth, people begin to question the government, it destabilises and they're forced to either concede or watch their country fall apart.

And that, is what the Aerlanicans are doing.

1. If you don't count GE&T stuff as RPing, yes. Waaaay back when but it was never anything I super got into, think I only ever participated in like three or four RPs.

2. Well I kind of had to learn Spanish when I was a kid since it was literally a required class in elementary school. Of course, I didn't really do anything with it and I didn't take it in middle school and my Spanish teachers in high school were horrible. But I've been putting my serious effort into learning it for basically the past seven years or so. I mean my mom, uncles, and other family members on that side of the family all speak it, so it's basically part of my heritage.

3. New users who join the site and are here for all of like 2 days and then go into Technical and make a thread suggesting that the staff change literally everything that makes this site what it is. It's so tiresome tbh.

I'mma do AAN, because tbh, I think AN's question is a little dumb, and I know that I personally prefer to get questions about my nation on this thread.

First off, no, I dont agree that your question was legitimate, primarily because one, as you are not in my region you are not canon in any sense of the term, and second, no because godmoding is boring and I dont intend to have my writing destroyed by a nazi powerfantasy.

But onto actual questions! So, what's the reason behind your nation's theme Menschlicher? Any particular writings that inspired you to make your nation? Any unique takes on space nationalism you wanted to do for yourself, or just more of the same cuz you enjoy the trope? No hate on it from me personally, just always curious on interesting takes.

BN, feel free to do Diarcesia, I just thought Menschlicher Sternenstaat would prefer an actually relevant question!

Whether or not the question of "can i xenocide u" can be seen as subjectively "legitimate" doesn't mean a roadblock is placed against it for other replies — sans situations where it is explicitly bait deserving of being posted on, say, Moderation. I also don't particularly care to godmod, especially since I have been on this site long enough to both see the ramifications and redundancy of it for people who actually write roleplays and stories of note. I am sure that this is just a blown-up misunderstanding, however.

The reasons behind my nation's themes is to explore the natural authoritarian psychology of a nation-state that was previously subjected to a war of survival for their race (c. First Human-Kizankai War of the Veran Star Confederation). I know that you're writing this as a means for me to drop some sort of esoteric fascist literature as a citation to my nation's inspiration as an a-ha moment, but in actuality it rises from franchises such as Killzone and their similar interpretations of this "fight for survival" onus that the Helghast display. The usage of a German aesthetic and system is employed to subvert the trope of the "space nazi powerfantasy" that you have indicated, and to purposefully make a nation that people will find distasteful at first - since that is the point of it. ICly, the Sternenstaat doesn't care nor wishes to care about its public image against those that see it as an enemy, and ironically the best way to make these canonical convictions possible is to affect OOC player's psychologies by making them knee-jerk to what seems like "space nazis".

I also like to write about conflict and things exploding in succinct description. Being militarist allows that.

1) Kinda, not really. I think monarchies should be deposed and that their wealth should be far more taxed, but I dont think they should be criminalized and I definitely don't think they should be killed. The main reason for the anti-monarchy is because if gave me a scape goat to use other than the generic 'Those gosh darn capitalist pig dogs.'

2) To quote myself:

My main reason for deciding on them is pretty three point. First off is the fact I enjoy using Earth creatures as a base for alien races. Almost all alien races you see are just three eyed bipedal humans who inexplicably have the same social structure and cultural trends. Basing my scifi races off of Earth animals allows me to use their IRL tendancies to make unique cultures and social trends, and gives something familiar for the reader to latch onto. Secondly, My last nation was a race of scifi felinids who had a primarily carnivorous diet thanks to a desert homeworld, and I wanted my next nation to be different from them. Thirdly,
I just am a fan of rabbits. I think they look nice.

3) Depends on what you mean. Writing wise? I'm mostly looking to finish up my current factbooks, after that I hope to define all 250 UCBR Nations, with summaries on cultures, leaders, and flags. Story Wise? Depends on what my fellow space nations decide, or if any new nations decide to join The Helysian Chasm discord, and the rp with it. The main reason why things like enemies and opposition communities are absent from my factbooks is well, they exist, they're just not my nation, so I have no reason to write them down until they do something to me.

1. It all boils down to coffee, reading Wikipedia pages and news clips/documentaries for research, as well as watching media for inspiration. You would be surprised to learn that I've got tons of different ideas running around in my head but still having problems in starting as well as finishing a project.
2. Chad exists in a different world than SP. As of now, there are 5 Djinn Masters - four of them are the Chadian warlords but one is going to be a secret for another day.
3. My favorite CW weapon is the Mirage III fighter jet. It's something about it being French, cheap and versatile, as well as exported to both first and third world nations that endears me to the point it became the mainstay fighter jet of Patagonia.

I'm still keeping a lot of things ambiguous until I get it set in stone. A lot of things I have set in my mind and have written down, but there is a lot I'm still deciding on.

But right now I'm just chilling, doing RP's and just generally getting accustomed to Nationstates.
