What question do you want to ask AU?

[Celestial American Republic]

1. What was the process of creating the Shrechian Alphabet? How was it?
2. Do you have any plans to make any puppets?
3. If Shrechia was in the real world, where would it be?

1. Where did you come up with the idea for your nation?
2. What is Perikuresu's place in the world?
3: Where'd you come up with the flag?

[Perikuresu]

1. Where did you come up with the idea for your nation?
2. What is Perikuresu's place in the world?
3: Where'd you come up with the flag?

1. Xiran Jay Zhao's videos behind the cultural inspirations of Avatar, (So you're saying that the melting pot of cultures was one of the main parts of the conception of the nation? WOAH, who would've f*cking guessed am Io right?) and I just had too many ideas for a Byzantine/East Asian/Polynesian island nation that I had to put it on there
2. North Pacific, I hope you did read this factbook, although I feel like this might have some other message to it
3. A simplification and improvement of an original flag, I might have the worm thing on it again

1) Why is Trump the vice-president instead of the eternal supreme leader? Does Trump's dynasty have a lasting impact on american history?

2) You mention the Galactic Republic and the Human State (Starship Troopers) as inspirations. Considering the first was an hyper-bureaucratic and undemocratic mess, and the second a borderline fascist imperialist state, in what ways did they influentiate the writting of Celestial American Republic?

3) You mention that Americans are united based on nationality and religion. Do they discriminate, then, americans that do not share the main religion. People with no formal religion (mainly Atheists and Agnostics) make up 26% of the population as of 2020. Are there laws (more than those that already exist) that aim to disenfranchise these people? Or is discrimination purely based in societal atitude with no government intervention?

1: Trump's dynasty has a large impact on American history as seven members of the family serve as President between 2017 and 2501. They still are firmly entrenched in Terran politics and commerce, and were one of the biggest funders of Project Groundbreaker in the mid 2100s. So, yes, they have a large impact on American history and are very famous.

2: The main inspiration taken from the Republic has to do mostly with military and some of the species that exist in this universe. The Republic itself serves as inspiration for galactic politics and the hopelessly bureaucratic "Galactic Assembly" (more on that coming up in future factbooks), which is basically the UN but space and on steroids. Now, onto Starship Troopers. The Federation itself was the main inspiration behind the now dead (but coming back) Klygesh Imperium. The military of the Federation is (somewhat) what the US Military looks like during the early 2100s before the creation of the armor used today.

3: Onto Religion. Well, 90% of Americans are Christian, so they are mostly united on that. Atheists and Agnostics make up less than one percent of the population as of 2501, but there are no laws discriminating against them. Social attitudes arn't extremely favorable towards them, but the amount of "discrimination" so to speak is very low unless you come across some really devoted followers. Like really, really devoted.

No, problem. 1) What I wanted to do with RPS's atmosphere is to create an aura of unpleasantness and oppression in an utopian enviornment. It is a contrast between the libertarian socialist and post-scarcity society of the upper world with the sacrifices needed to ensure it, be it the hive or the Institute's brainwashing techniques. The dysopian hints are not presented heads on to the reader, but sprinkled through the factbooks, so the reader can put together the bigger picture as he progresses.

2) Ahhh, I'm not quite sure what to say. To me, the most important thing when writting first person stories and stories with direct speech is imagining the action, the people, the enviornment. Placing myself in their shoes and imagining how I would react, and as I write, visualise the action as if it is happening now. Don't know if it helped, if you have any more questions about this, you can alwyas TG me.

[Berhakonia]

1. How did you make that coat of arms it looks complicated? and How long did it took to make it?
2. What do your large cities look like? how good is public transit there? Are there any problems that large cities in Berhakonia face? (ex: traffic, flood, pollution)

1. 30 minutes, wasn't too complex. The hardest part was getting inspiration

2. Kind of like an east-meets-west, old-meets-new sort of deal, where modern skyscrapers are often designed in pre-classical architechtural styles, but constructed out of modern materials. Traffic is pretty congested in larger cities and pollution can be a problem, but it's one that is readily manageable by the advanced Berhakli economy.

Perikuresu: You mentioned before that you had thought about worldbuilding your nation in the same vein as mine, could you elaborate on what you had originally envisioned Perikuresu to be?

[The Realm of Hyrule]

Ah, it is you again, Berhakonia, hello!
So yes, perhaps I have a few other questions for you, if you would be willing to answer them of course. These ones I will try to make a little... Different than before, because I... Well, want to gauge not only the AN, but also the AU a little better.
That is, if you don't mind me doing so!

So, without any further waiting:

[ 1 ]

So, I can see that there is already plenty in Berhakonia currently, from the overview to an interesting alternate history, especially for this part of earth, to the cultures and more! Well, I wanted to ask, what part of the creation of YN did you most enjoy writing for?
Why do I ask? Because I'm personally just curious!

[ 2 ]

I feel as if it is not too hard to figure that yourself may indeed prefer the stories told by the nation itself, how the collective of people work in this political entity than perhaps elaboration on particular characters. (Tell me if that is right) Which is fair enough! Though I personally enjoy character building as much, perhaps moreso than the nation itself, I most certainly don't knock the nation building.

Well, despite that, do you have any plans going forward for the creation of additional characters for Berhakonia? If so, I would not mind hearing about them.

And...
Well actually, I'll get back to you if I have a third question...

Thank you in advance for your time, a pleasure as always!

Hiya, uhhh...
1) Does basing your nation of a source material or pre-existing franchise hinder your capacity to write characters' personalities or does it not bother you at all?
2)What's Hyrule's greatest existential threat?
3) Mah boi, what's your honest opinion on Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon?

[Broader Confederate States]

Are you really into spacecraft and aliens IRL or is it just for the nation? If you are, what's your favorite piece of alien media? And do you like the ayy lmao meme?

[The Saucer Pilots]

1. I like UFO lore and Ufology. I watch UFO sighting documentaries sometimes. I own three or four books on the matter and I've I read several books about the abduction phenomena from public libraries. And when I was a child, I recall I had a close encounter with a spherical thing hovering around the treeline, even if I doubt myself on that because memory is malleable and I'm quite culturally contaminated. Oh, and the comic book I got the images for my nation from is basically about an office worker who saw a UFO in their childhood. So yes, I'm into it. In my personal view, Ufology says a lot more about our society and revised mythology than it does about supposed aliens, but it makes for some great fiction. I actually wanted this nation to be more loyal to the whole "fair folk whisking people away to have babies" framework of abduction stuff, but it would've been awkward AF even if the intent isn't sexual.

2. Favorite piece of alien media? The "Abductees" animated short film by Paul Vester (1995). It's on YT, but I'm not sure if I could link it. Nudity. Once again, it's not sexual. But, eh.

3. Funny, I like the one with Macarena music. /SKIP ME

Any particular reason for basing yourself on that?

OOC, 17 year old me was a massive lost causer, but I later ended up finding a different reason to believe balkanization is inevitable based on stuff Nixon and Carter did.
IC, the South gradually became incredibly wealthy as the biggest exporter of energy and crops, but most of that money went towards taxes and corporate bailouts, along with the gargantuan military spending. they felt the north was a drain on them, and already resented them for the oil rationing, so the choice was natural, if not easy.

Hiya, uhhh...
1) Does basing your nation of a source material or pre-existing franchise hinder your capacity to write characters' personalities or does it not bother you at all?
2)What's Hyrule's greatest existential threat?
3) Mah boi, what's your honest opinion on Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon?

Ah, three good questions here, thank you The Saucer Pilots...
Sooooo, to answer these questions (In no particular order) ::

[ 2 ] (What's Hyrule's greatest existential threat?)

Okay, so this... Is a tricky one, because basically after the end of the events of an LoZ game, it's common for Hyrule (Or New Hyrule... Or 'The Surface' ... Or Termina) to go through an era of peace. There often. Isn't really any threat at all! They basically are allowed at least a few decades of peace before the next catastrophe, at least.
So right now? There isn't one... The connection between the realm of Hyrule (Or just 'The World' if you are Zora or Goron), and the Twilight Realm has been completely sealed (You can even see this happen at the end of Twilight Princess) and there really isn't much risk of them coming back, even if they wanted to... After all, the only reason Zant broke through to begin with is because of Ganondorf's power aiding him.

However... Though I probably will not actually ever bring this nation to that time, The Legend of Zelda :: The Wind Waker is the next game in the chronological universe, which means that the Great Flood will eventually happen. Whether it takes a few decades, or many centuries, who knows?
TL:DR :: Hyrule's greatest existential threat is probably a Great Flood in an unconfirmed amount of time. IDK, whenever Demise feels like interfering again, I guess LMAO

[ 1 ] (Adapting source material, does it hinder creativity?)

I'll say this quickly... It depends.
As a game, The Legend of Zelda :: Twilight Princess is mixed in the amount of love that is shown to it's characters... So people like Midna, Zant, Princess Zelda, hell even the Ordon Children to some extent are most certainly given much love, but naturally other characters may be elaborated on a little less... From experience, these are people like Prince Ralis of the Zora, the Elders of Death Mountain, the adults of Ordon village and so on so fourth...

Sooo... If I (And have already) made bodies of text detailing information about some of the more elaborated on characters, such as the already established Princess-Sovereign, or in the future when I make an entirely separate, yet supporting NationState for the Twilight Realm and furthermore, Princess Midna, there would be less amounts of my own concepts I can put into them, however as seen with my most recent character in Prince Ralis, and any OC (Original Content) characters that I will, and have created, there is much more possibility for creative freedom.
It's a mixed bag, but do not get me wrong, I enjoy every part of it! The reason why I believe for The Realm of Hyrule to be so fun to write about is the fact I am taking a place from Pre-Established lore, and putting my own spin on it... I have some big plans as well for the aforementioned Twilight Realm as well, big enough to warrant it's own Nation, but I won't be doing that until I fell satisfied with the progress I have made on Hyrule.

The few ideas I have for the Twilight is concepts such as: How is Princess Midna's rule over the realm going? Have the Shadow Beasts been successfully returned to their original, Twili forms? Are there any players in the Twilight who still maybe are cautious about Midna's rulership, and does this create a dichotomy, like what is seen in Hyrule? Etc. Etc... I am looking forward to it.

[ 3 ] (Unironic view of 'The Wand of Gamelon')

Sooooo... This game is the equivalent of a shitpost for the Legend of Zelda... From what I know, it is strange... Very strange.
And why do I say: From what I know? Simply put, I've never played or watched it, and to be honest I do not see much reason to either...

For I am fine with knowing the memes, and I appreciate them, but I know I have better things to do than cringe myself out by actually giving it a shot, like continuing to splerge for this nation LMAO...
(I was unironically asked to put Morshu into my universe... That's a no, simply put...
Though we still have a meme there in Malo.)

Thanks for the questions!

Perikuresu: You mentioned before that you had thought about worldbuilding your nation in the same vein as mine, could you elaborate on what you had originally envisioned Perikuresu to be?

Originally Perikuresu was going to be a nation with mixed Byzantine (basically Greek), East Asian (mostly Chinese) and Pacific Islander influences. Ngl I jumped to conclusions when I was making my opinion because I saw Greek/Chinese influenced nation in (well Perikuresu is near Asia soo sorta counts) Asia, ooo ooo, similar.

China conquered the Dzungar Khaganate, went through a turbulent 20th century, decided occupying the Tibetan plateau wasn't worth the occupational cost and granted Dzungar independence around the same time that France and Portugal started decolonizing. Think of Tibet as having a dominion status under modern day china similar to the Commonwealth of Nations in our timeline.

Alright to Perikuresu, since this is the first time I get to reply to you I'm just asking two kinda basic questions. Hope you don't mind.

1. When are you planning on adding more words to the Namokupunian language?
2. Does the 55 Days of Lament event so happen to be inspired by the Boxer rebellion? Ik it's only the Japanese Empire taking part as far as I can see (correct me if im wrong about that), but I'm simply curious.

So, what's the future of The Batavia? Like, what do have planned and what do you want to do for it at this point?

1. Well I think Mental Omega is... Actually pretty interesting. It's pretty much a what-if story for Red Alert 2 that is a bit more gritty than the original and tells a story of a Soviet victory which leads to the rise of Yuri's Epsilon. As for the gameplay... It's an extremely difficult game, so I would reccomend people would get good at the original Red Alerts first.

2. Okay so first of all I have no idea what you are talking about hahaha who is Batavia? They sound like a cool guy yeah hehe. Second of all, I frankly want to... Well let's just say I am not following a set-in-stone storyline aside from a few plot hooks, I guess. The main thing is probably the geopolitical rivalry between Batavia leading NATO and an ever-rising Russia trying it's best to regain it's former strenght. I also want to go more in detail about President Alexanders and his job as president as well as some aspects of his personal life, I suppose.

Right, so I guess it is time for me to ask some questions.
1. Do you plan on lampshading any aspects that are present in LoZ in general, such as, say, vases containing rupees out in the open (if my limited LoZ knowledge is up-to-date with TP, that is, if not... ignore that example)?
2. As a local milnerd, I have to ask, what formations would the Hyrulean Army use?
3. Is my face the most beautiful in all of Koridai, or is it Ganondorf's? Okay, shitpost aside... are there any legends about the local geography? More specifically, about Death Mountain.
4. Speaking of, what exactly caused the local populace to call Death Mountain... well, Death Mountain?
