What have you learnt after reading the AN’s factbooks? III

[Azur Deutschland]

Black November is the most prevalent terrorist group in New Acardia.

[Sherechia]

Well in summary they seem to be the german empire with fantasy elements mainly the usage of magic

Also they have tank driving and pilot wizards/mages

[The Restored Danelaw]

Wow, that is the level of quality I post in this thread for.

AN: While generally a despair event horizon usually results in its victims becoming more religious as a way to cope with the hopelessness of their situation, it would go the other way around in Whitemore. Over 67% of its population identify as an atheist (not agnostic, actual atheist), and this is at least in large part described to be the result of the unlucky nature of humans and the many, many calamities that we have faced throughout our existence.

The nation seem like a modern versions of the Vikings

You didn't even open my factbooks did you.

AN: There is such a thing as prison labour in Sherechia, but they reassure us it is not mandatory. Rather, inmates can work in farming, mining or metalworking that shorten their sentence.

The Danelaw uses a faux(?) Old English in it's wiki page. They lack control over northern Ireland, and most likely have Norse ties.

[Waisnor]

In this World War II Nazis pushed well into Ural mountains and Stalin was killed, but after winning battle of Almaty, Nazis were defeated, after which NKVD became ruling force of the country.

[Mirum]

As their Wiki page put it:

"At a meeting on November 8, 2008, members of the Progress Party and the Democratic Party accused the SDPW of turning the country into a communist regime. The result was a massive brawl, which will become known as the "Battle of the Legislators", in which the Social Democrats won."

Or in other words:
Apparently their political parties do not get along too well.

[The Realm of Hyrule]

This may seem like something small, but to be fair quite significant for me...

Despite having High Fantasy elements in regards to it's whole 'Elven' and 'Dwarven' people, Mirum is in all actuality MT...
This took me for suprise, for when I first saw your nation on F7 I really did think it was PT, but oh well.

In other news, I learnt that the Mirum Civil War lasted for longer than even WW2...
And thus, the country was basically destroyed entirely once it ended.

I'm surprised even then there wasn't more damage, and that the Mirum state as it is even survived, in such a situation I would have expected the whole nation splintering into multiple different realms, but that's just me!

[Mondstato]

They use a series of gemstones called Rupees as a form of currency, with the value of the Rupee being dependent on it's colouration (which is presumably linked to scarcity). It's quite interesting how raw currency can be extracted from the ground, which could have some unusual effects on their economy. Then again, it probably isn't too different from the days of the gold standard.

[The Independent Republic of Mars]

That what is essentially the First World War took place slightly earlier in their universe, with it ending in 1904, and it was this war that led to the establishment of the League of Nations. This LoN must've been significantly more effective than our real world counterpart then, considering it eventually managed to evolve into a true global global government. I also find it very interesting that they use Esperanto for their motto, though I do wonder whether it has actually become a commonly spoken language or if it is simply used as a symbol of unity and progress to rally around.

[Waisnor]

This country has two levels of government - federal, which is ruled by the Senate and city-states, each 32 of them are kinda independent.

[Azur Deutschland]

The Prime Minister can serve three terms that are each two years long.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

They've got an Idol Squad called Leuchtende Rose. Kinda like Moranbong Band, I think.

[Tsiyaou]

that they're a cultist DPRK pan asian nationalist larp idk

[The Restored Danelaw]

At a population of 8.5 million, Tsiyaou has a larger population than the rest of the Ireland (the island, not just the country) has put together.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

The current king holds untraditional sympathy for the plight of the Irish.

[Sherechia]

So instead of screaming "religion is the tool of the bourgeoisie to oppress the working class" some people in your country decide to use religion as a tool for achieving communism. Unsurprisingly the church views this as satanic though even more surprisingly this isn't mandatory in your country.

Also the greater east asian God-builders association try to unify the fans of Kim, Lenin and Mao...
all I can say is good luck with that because some Marxists have such a strong cult for their "dear leaders" that they will scream revisionist at the slightest deviation.

But I think it actually makes sense to make a religion out of this because the amount of worship Marxists do to their leaders IRL alone makes it difficult to differentiate from a Catholic Mass.

[Waisnor]

Owning weapons, street racing and LGTBQ are legal in Sherechia.

[Eastern Holy Empire of Europa]

That Episode 13 of "Shield" ("Reflection in the mirror") may be thrilling.

[Azur Deutschland]

All of their military's small arms are produced locally.

[United Communal Burrow Republics]

This time after diving into the Azure-verse I learned that their national anthem, The Untainted Rose Cross, was adopted following the battle of Berlin, and allegedly was sung by the leaders of the nation as they fought off the opposing side int he battle.

[Tsiyaou]

A giant doozy

that's shes basically an ultra religious; socialist democratic; and INCREDIBLY Anri-Monarchy to the point of putting the Jacobins to shame

This is more a rating on factbooks than a rating on the AU. And I wouldn't call the UCBR Ultra-religious
/skipme I suppose

[The Saucer Pilots]

The YF-23 F-27 "Stealth Multirole Fighter" is sturdier than meets the eye as it has up to 16 internal hard points to house a variety of guided and unguided ordnances. Also one needs to fire or swarm it considerably to muddle it's Electro-Optical Targeting System, which can track up to 30 objects at once.

It is indeed based off the YF-23 except it's meant to be better and have a multirole capability

I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who was part of the ATF and he said some VERY minor things about the YF-23's faults + I myself am very knowledgable in millitary hardware, I remember getting an email by some arms company offering me a high paying job outside of my country and showed me one of my tanks I was working on, said it was good (i got the same reafion when i showed it to an officer in the FFL)

The Kattenby family to whom aeronautical engineer Charles Kattenby belongs were likely the Katz family before their name was dipped in a few layers of anglo
