Does (or did) Aquaria support any foreign left-leaning insurgents via direct or inderect means?

Generally speaking how likely would a coup d’etat be in Aquaria if the military were to grow more powerful numerically but not politically?

What is the opinion of your government and your people on the USSR in general and Stalinism in particular?

1. Why is the Kingdom of Portugal not named as the Kingdom of Iberia, when it clearly own the land of the whole peninsula? Or, is Portugal = Iberia in your lore?

2. Does Salazar and Franco exist in your lore?

3. What is the main differences between your world and irl?


1- Basically because Portugal eventually grew to encompass all of the Iberian Peninsula, so yes, Portugal = Iberia in my lore.
2- Salazar was Minister of Finances but never got to be the Prime Minister of Portugal, Franco never existed, or maybe just as another Portuguese guy, probably went to the military as well.
3- Basically there is no Spain, with Portugal ruling all of Iberia. Portugal is on par with other European Great Powers, and is a major powerhouse in Regional politics and has a lot of importance on the World. Also all of South America speaks Portuguese, Africa has a lot more Portuguese speakers and in Asia half of India is catholic, basically the colonies of Portugal were many more, with it's natural effects on the world. On the other hand, decolonization happened without the Colonial War,, with their independence given after WW2, where Portugal was a participant in the later years after the neutral government lost the election in 1943 and there were no communist regimes and liberation wars in the African Colonies, with the transition between colonial and the new nation's governments going smoothly and peacefully.

What is the opinion of your government and your people on the USSR in general and Stalinism in particular?

1. The situation is, well, a bit awkward, since we were in a literal civil war when the leftist movements over the world were in the most full-swinging moment. Though, we have contact with most of the communist and leftist parties all over the world, including those being outlawed. If you consider the Sinn Féin Party as a leftist party, that's right, we have our full support for their effort to attempt to declare independence from the UK.

2. The military in the Aquaria rarely care about politics, since the constitution stated that the military is directly responsible to the Federal Government and all of the Autonomous Republics' and Oversea States' Governments while having the only purpose to protect the territory of the Socialist Federal Republic of the Aquaria and its people. While military officials can be involved in the elections for any governmental positions, they are only allowed to do so when they resigned from their military position. Not to mention, if any military officials attempt to coup and establish a military dictatorship, the action will offend the last article of the constitution, which will straight up cause a grand revolution all over the revolution. Nowadays, military officials are barely interested in a coup of the government.

3. The USSR was indeed an ally to the Aquaria especially when we are in the civil war since their support was important for us to result in a triumph. However, we are also offended by their imperialism, which finally caused the Aqua-Soviet Split in 1981. In terms of Stalinism, we simply hate it, viewing it as a betrayal of Marx, Lenin and even communism itself. It is a given-up ideology which once affected Aqua politics, but was officially given up by Hataké in 1967.

As members of NATO, we have close relations with both the US and the UK. We are particularly friendly with the US, for their help in overthrowing the British occupation. Our relations are quite good with Ireland as well.

Great question. This all started when opened our first embassy with -Azteca Mexico and that's when we first decided to use a special Embassy flag with them and this tradition would carry on but it was decided we would use these flags for countries that the people decided that we should use them with. Another reason for this is that in general the NIU has a big obsession with flags and making them so that's another reason for these special embassy flags forming. For example people will make flags for special events like weddings so countries we have a special relationship we would use a special flag with.

Boldonia is a NATO member, so our allies should be obvious. However, Boldonia doesn't really have enemies, at least in our home universe, instead we hope to eventually cooperate and prosper with our enemies, only destroying them when no other options are on the table.

The Free Munster League wrote:1. Is there or has there been a republican movement in Frisemark?
2. Has Frisemark ever fallen under foreign control?
3. Who was the most scandalous leader of Frisemark?

1.) Actually, yes. Several major left-wing parties in Frisemark advocate the abolishment of the Monarchy and transition to a republic. This is not limited to left-wing Frisik politics, but is only most prominent there. Interestingly, a number of large labor unions are pro-Crown, which stretches back to the Second Global War when members of the Royal Family sought to make themselves useful aiding factory workers in the war effort. Asmund VI maintains annual donations to several labor unions, but is not an official member of any.

Right-wing Frisik republicanism was more significant in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries. Primarily driven by Classical Liberals with the backing of “New Money” types, the right-wing anti-monarchy stance evolved from Enlightenment ideas and the transition to a Constitutional Monarch, arguing a monarch was not necessary at all. These rhetorics were pushed out by more conservative members of legislature, and so never accomplished their goals.

2.) Not once since the unification of the Home Isles have they fallen under foreign control. Far-flung Frisik territories and colonial holdings experienced occupation during the Second Global War, but the Frisik homeland’s distance from other landmasses and the Kingdom’s powerful navy with plenty of resupply bases (and the lesser range of aircraft in those times) meant the Memmelån never fell under foreign auspices.

3.) Horik III (better known by his epithet “the Lech”) was an incredibly controversial King whose rule was ended by his own Council, which started the Frisik Interregnum (known in Frisik as the Midlertidigkrone) because of his extreme womanizing, rejection of his family and abuse of the Royal Treasuries which lasted 5 years. Horik III’s only legitimate son, Sigurd V (better known by his Latin name, Sigitas Rex) took the throne and ushered in the beginning of the Frisik Empire.

(Sorry for ninjaing you)
1. Are Kar steppe and Malakauzan real places?

No. There may be a real place named the "Kar steppe" that I don't know about, but I intend for them to be fictional locations.
2. Does your nation happen to be located in the arctic?

No, despite our cold climate, we're closer to the equator of our world.
3. What food do your people usually eat?

Eh, nowadays we don't really have national preferences for food, but an example of a traditional Hvernzani dish would be Tanmaulii, which consists of balls of cereal dough cooked in broth with raw cerals and vegetables added in.

humans make up the majority of the worlds population and demi humans are nigh exclusive to Catsfern. All varieties of demi human have emerged in Catsfern due to the experiments of rouge geneticist Dr. Tucker. The first demi human species found were the neko girls Catsfern is famous for. The other five were found simultaneously many years later. Currently neko girls make up 15% of Catsferns female population, and there are 5 million embryos of the other 5 varieties of demi human being developed and adopted out. Relations between humans and demi humans are generally posotive. Demi human exclusionary groups exist but they're very unpopular. The government has also taken measures to insure the unique needs and challenges of each variety of demi human are met.
