2. If you were to pick any ftl drive, which would you pick?
3. You ever hear the Tragedy of the State-Mandated Femboy?

1. Nope. Instead, we promote the idea of workers' autonomy.

2. At that point, I would rather just choose to have the ability of teleporting.

3. Yes, but I personally think the tragedy of Darth Plagueis is probably even sadder.

Well, you ninja'd Onyx Legion, but I shall answer both of your questions as I just like to answer these questions.

1. I don't really know, I just made it up. The history mainly comes from the location, as Boldonia is right in the middle of where Ferdinand Magellan would have sailed would Boldonia not been there.
2. Insert American food here, Boldonia doesn't really have much in the way of traditional culture, so the people just eat whatever the Americans are eating.
3. It got so big that it had no real path but to become the 51st state, but that would upset the balance that already exists and since American politics is well, American politics, they just decided to let it go. That was also around the time that the US dollar started to inflate greatly, so if they could stop paying for the expensive government stuff they would take that chance. It's like a dog that you unleash, sure the dog is free but the dog is still kind of your's.

1. It's not actually the size of Hawaii, it's hard to visualize without a good way to insert a map, think something South Korea sized placed just west of Guam.
2. Pretty normal, usually it's just a small house and a good amount of money to live off of, if assisted living is required the government pays for it.
3. Not a revolutionary one, I'd be fine with a socialist one, but not revolutionary. And besides, like that's going to happen anytime soon.

[United States of Minecraftia]

What does Minecraftian culture look like? What religions do they practice? Do they have a large army?

Pretty much exactly what you’d expect. Nomadic living, various tribes set up across various villages, mining and farming being two of the bigger industries with a minor but important industry known as “modding” being essential to daily life, etc.

Religion tends to vary, from Notchism to idolizing the creatures that lurk in the hellscape known as the Nether. The Tome of Undying is a highly sought-after religious artifact mostly used by the bravest of warriors and adventurers.

Speaking of, we more resemble the army of Sparta: small but extremely deadly, even moreso if they’re armed with armor and weapons enchanted by some of the scholars that may occasionally set up their altars in a village rather than on their own out in the middle of nowhere.

/There’s also the occasional butthurt citizen, such as the now-24 year old leader, that wishes they were aware of nation classification when he made the stupid account, but I digress rofl. Also skip me

1. What does look like? I suppose it'll look like this. However, noticeably more cloudier, as for the size... I am still deciding on whether or not it should be 2X or 3X the size of our Earth.

2. It was never a civilian title its basically our equivalent of a Supreme leader or Caudillo. It stuck since that's basically what the first leader of the Valkyrie Council styled herself to be, it also is never was associated with the monarchy nor the nobility. Just the Valkyries.

3. Six. Although, mind you these countries are still crawling along. Its just they're now never gonna recover from inevitable catastrophic demographic collapses they suffered attempting and failing to impose 'democracy on gunpoint' upon Hiyoko and her good ol' allies.

4. A (NATO-expy) gang of Neoliberal nations in this universe who are extremely belligerent towards anyone who fails to live up to the neoliberal's stringent definition of austerity and democracy. Constant interventions based on faulty claims are their modus operandi.

1. Guess the closest thing would be apparently Illegalism because Crime, I guess? Political Ideologies are pretty cringe though, so I prefer to not attach any to the legion. They are a late medieval bandit horde, give them a break.
2. Not very well. If they can't defend themselves they basically boned. There is a reason after all why most places in the legion formerly inhabited by human species do not have such inhabitants anymore.
3. Mostly negative. It has some positive relations with the Magocracies of the northern forest, but even they are cautious, otherwise, it views all other nations that exist as future targets.
4. Well, not "The" Future, a singular canon future does not really exist. Instead I plan to make some possible futures which branch off the starting point, but these will come after I properly established what the Status Quo currently is, which I'm far from done at the current moment in time. However, for the purposes of this Nation's state, the current state is what it will remain as, with the futures merely being there to illustrate what the current trends can result in.

1. Yes it is a creole language.

2. I'm not so interested in the -Azteca Mexico side of my lore anymore but for now it's still cannon.

Mexico was during the cold war and still is a superpower and they had ideological differences with both the US and USSR and they had their own set of allies which some of them shared a similar ideology as well. Mexico's ideology was anti-imperialism and center-left progressivism. Some these allies that would join this alliance set by Mexico were -Tawantinsuyu, Danxome, Kurdistan, Ethiopia, Morocco, and of course us. The reason it's not like the Non-Aligned Movement is because these nations choose the side of Mexico.

3. Mexico but if I were to decide that side of my lore isn't cannon anymore it would be Canada.

Hello!

2.- Which is the League's most dangerous threat and why?
3.- Which are the League's most important sympathisers?
4.- Are there any movements against the rule of The People's Party?

1. The League has no formal ties to Ireland or the UK. Relations are tense, with Ireland refusing to recognise Munster as anything other than a breakaway state. As for the UK, relations are even worse.
2. The League is threatened by, among others, the omnipresent risk of an Irish invasion, Russia and China cutting ties, and passive and armed
Anglophone resistance.
3. The largest support base for the League are in the Gaeltacht, the Irish speaking regions in Western Ireland. There are also dissident IRA elements, but they are reluctant to ally with the League out of ideological disagreements. There are also numerous poets and writers with sympathies for the League's ideals in the Republic.
4. The People's Party's rule is mostly opposed by English-speakers, who rally under the Irish Nationalist Party, and moderate Irish speakers under the Independent People's Party. There are also independents with their own agendas.

Hello
I have some questions.

Svalbard is a natural paradise and I like, that you took many pictures of nature.
Which photos are from the real Svalbard? Why did you choose this country (or parts of it)?

Your population is mainly atheistic. Is the role of "religion" replaced by something? Which holidays do you have, then?

Why is this region so densly populated? There are about 2500 people on the real island.

Funnily enough, there are not really a lot of them. I always imagined N. Dosletofe as a semi-temperate country (for the sake of “realism”). Besides the maps which are obviously photos of Svalbard, there is actually just one more that I can’t quite remember ). I plan on putting more photos with the actual place but haven’t gotten quite around it, yet. I found the place eerily intriguing. Mostly because it’s so far away it is nearly unreachable

Religion, is again, just for the sake of realism. Same christian holidays expect for some folkloric Dissish holidays, that I’m yet to write about in the factbooks. The population (or better said society) of Dosletofe isn’t really religious by nature. Religion never really had a place in our society.

As for the region, I don’t really know what to answer. Keep in mind that I had my country already built around Svalbard before joining. That was only region that still had Svalbard unclaimed and so, I took a part of it. Don’t really know why these (especially Nordic) regions are so populated. Maybe because there just a few that are actually still functioning.

[East Plate]

@East Plate

1. What is the leading party named? What is its ideology?
2. Are there any significant more fiscally or socially radical movements/parties present in East Plate? What are they, what do they fight for, how much support do they have?

1.- There are no political parties in East Plate yet. All members of parliament are "independents." However, there are factions within parliament that group together people with similar ideas on how to run certain aspects of the colony, but it is important to note that these are not political parties. A politician can be generally considered to be a member of one faction, but there is nothing preventing him from occasionally supporting things that are more characteristic of another faction. Traditionally, the Colorado Faction is the one who leads the colony. They are a group of politicians who are, in general, more liberal than their counterparts. They are members of the Eastplatine upper class, and they mostly live around the big cities of the colony, which sometimes make them govern the colony in ways that neglect the countryside. Most of the policies supported by these politicians are aimed toward better working conditions at factories, supporting free trade, a modernisation of the Eastplatine financial system, supporting the acquisition of large loans from Britain to build infrastructure, large support for education (both for men and women) and are more open to the idea of women participating in the political and public spheres of the colony (but they are far from supporting it... they just don't see it as plain ridiculous). These politicians also tend to dislike the church and see it with suspicion, being more prone to support anticlericalism. Finally, they also oppose Gauchos, whom they see as illiterate and repugnant as the Gauchos refuse to adapt to British ideals and instead prefer to remain closer to the Hispanic roots of East Plate.

2.- Most of the political sphere of East Plate is fairly moderate, as no radicals would be allowed to enter parliament and the Armed Constabulary, together with British forces if needed, will just... dissolve any radical group. However, some Colorado Faction members are getting more radical with their ideas, and a new "Radical Colorado Faction" is slowly starting to appear from within parliament. They are "radical" as they openly support the participation of women in the politics of East Plate and also want to establish universal suffrage, giving every man and woman the right to vote regardless of their wealth, education or gender. They also have radical ideas regarding religion, as they want to basically replace it with science considering that the key for solving all conflicts between individuals and society is the teaching of science to all people. Radical Colorados want to support science at the expense of other things, such as the Monarchy. They are not against it, or against the British Empire, but they are against the Colony expending any money, for example, when a member of the British Royal Family visits East Plate. Finally, the Radical Colorados are also open to the idea of "sexual deviations" and do not see homosexuality as a crime (as it currently is in East Plate)... Basically, Radical Colorados are just people with modern ideas more or less comparable to a modern-day average centre-left wing politician, but which within the context of a 19th-century British colony in South America are indeed radical. Their support is relatively low, with only 1 member in the Legislative Council (out of 20, appointed for life terms by the Governor) and 6 members in the House of Representatives (out of 55, elected by the people)

Another "radical" faction are The Philanthropists, who are politicians who openly support the Philanthropic Society of Oriental Dames (or PSOD), an organization of Eastplatine women devoted to social change, community improvement, and female empowerment. Considering these politicians as radical is not exactly correct, as the PSOD wants to achieve changes in society not in a radical way, but by showing and convincing the people (and especially men and politicians) that women can be useful if allowed to have a deeper participation in Eastplatine society by doing differently charitable actions, like running the Blue Schools (free, public schools following the Lancasterian System), the Princess Louise Hospital (a public hospital providing basic health services to the general population of Montevideo, and being a pioneer in the colony regarding maternity) and the Clarence Mental Asylum. The Philanthropists generally have the support of the Radical Colorados, but also some more moderate politicians from the Colorado Faction, as well as some businessmen, including the rumoured secret lover of the Governor, which could imply that the PSOD actually has some considerable influence over the government of the colony, not to mention that many of the wives of various politicians from all the political factions of the parliament are members of this organization.
