Which while that sounds cool, I am imagining the health and safety experts are in a perpetual state of paranoia over the next wreck.

Wejas has a restaurant named Whataburger, which is apparently the last fast food restaurant in North America, and is famous for being from Texas.

OOC: ngl i wanna go there.

The Nagan N100 Family are narrow-body airliners designed and produced by Nagan. The N100A was launched in March 1983, first flew on 22 May 1985, and was introduced in April 1987 by Filipinn Airlines. The first member of the family was followed by the longer N101A (first delivered in January 1991),the shorter N99A (April 1996), and the even shorter N98A (July 2003). Final assembly takes place in Tolous in Filipinn; Glasgow in Luetopia; Tanyin in Tuthar since 2007; and in Mobile, Alabama in Usoniy since April 2013.


Nagan, sounds like Nagant, so I thought it was more... military stuff. But dang, the final assembly takes place in a lot of places haha

Our rolling stock ranges from late 19th century to mid 1960s — and it is exactly the headache you'd imagine with regards to maintenance and running costs lol

Wars have almost ceased, as it had been around 180 years since the last world war.

That's nice. Also nice template.

Just as a reminder yall, this isn't the "favourite lines" thread; we're not copying and pasting things from each other's factbooks here.


AN: The kingdom is composed of three islands, called "Urbania", "Bothilia" and "Melbournia" (also home to the capital city, Melbourne), although there are a number of much smaller, uninhabitable islands within the kingdom's territorial claim.

Their government has some similarities with modern republics. For example, the Ékallum is basically the executive branch with a leader that serves 1, 5 year term though unlike most republics the "president" which has the title of "Sar" has 2 assistants or vice presidents instead of one. The Bélútam is the legislative branch however unlike most parliaments, they have 3 houses and a combined total of 30,000 members. The Kisalbarakku is basically the supreme court. The Dín is responsible for testing public servants and the Arnum monitor's everything.

Id say that's quite a lot of checks and balances, enough to put EU parliamentary democracies to shame. No wonder it lasted 10,000 years. Oh and for the whole corruption thing, Inogo Estima wants to teach Ansar how to ride an elephant.

Yes, I know that.
Maybe pay more attention?

Their currency is known as the Kan, which has now given me the mental image of any and all financial institutions turned into Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kan.

Their DEEP KRAKEN emblem is often confused for a spooder although i would need to say that a kraken is either a squid, crab, or a island fjord

The canon side of things:
-They have some very interesting horror stories.
-They were basically another Poland during WWII (what happened to Poland happened to them as well, minus the Soviet Union) and were liberated by Canada.

The non-canon side:
-Amadeus Freidrich lost at least 32 houses due to dumb things.
-Amadeus is forbidden from doing so many things, it makes one wonder what happened that caused all of that.

Al-Khelaifi runs a news outlet called beIN Media Group, which operates concurrently with a decidedly biased (how surprising) state-owned media franchise. His goal is to transform beIN into a household sports news outlet along the lines of BBC Sports, and ESPN, albiet with a much more Al-Khelaifi-friendly PSG-biased platform that caters to his interest. (Not explicitly mentioned, but it's not difficult to infer)

WonderMart, despite being a store, has established vaccination centres to distribute COVID-19 vaccines at their in-store pharmacies. The initiative has been expanded across all 50 US states to over 2,200 vaccination centres.

Medinat Yisrael is a region located in Israel, Palestine, Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights. This "region" used to be a country before it shattered like Yugoslavia. Currently it is now in several pieces and is ruled by tribes. However, whats surprising is the ethnicities of refugees streaming out from the region which is highly diverse, different from the data taken during the last census before the country fell apart which states that the region is mostly homogenous. Medinat Yisraelian society can be described as militaristic and mystical with the population being pretty good at fighting and the nation being prone to "anomalies." Also for some reason, all of their machinery is either organic or analog, so nothing to do with 0s and 1s.
