On first glance this seems to literally just be the US, but there are some important distinctions, namely that while it's still a superpower, it's international presence is less pronounced and the fact this timeline lacks both world wars. This America is a lot more subtle than the other Not!Americas and the writing style suggests a quality writer, especially in regards to the Taftine Islands, I wonder who could've come up with such a genius name

Their universe's Cold War was a massive clusterfuck, with Europe being a major "enemy" to the United States as it stayed behind the scenes and watched with horror. Not only that, but Japan managed to establish its CPS. However, surprisingly, despite their sheer isolation, the US managed to pull through and come out on top, without actually fighting major wars. That's a feat in and of itself.


AN:

Taking a look at the religion factbook, it seems that one of the Gods in Shurayu mythology is IŠTAR, the God of Love and War. According to Shurayu religion, Ištar is the God behind all forms of romance and love in life, from platonic to genuine. And alongside that, he is also behind fertility, the concept of war, the execution of justice, and the familial bond that guides the Shurayu to their finest goal. Temples of Ištar have devotees, which for a fee, can engage in various acts, including a conversation. That's pretty nice, actually.

That's the damned United States with a few readjustements

EDIT : AN is not really a nation but more of an interplanetary alliance where the complementing entities have a relative high amount of autonomy, it brought the end of the cold war apparently because of the elevated risk of an alien invasion.

It's kinda funny (in a good way) that Pohnei is obviously a parody of Indonesia, plus the fact that you adapted (alternate) Pancasila too as the principles of Pohnei, the 1965-66 communist killings, and Bunarto and Ambanto, which I guess is a parody of Sukarno and Suharto, respectively. It's quite rare to find an Indonesian history-based fictional country here.

From a basic glance it can be interpreted that the Vontersk economy is generally nonexistent. They follow a policy of autarchist state capitalism, and then they focus their efforts on the first sector -mining and woodworking make for most of Vonteris exports, though an exception exists in a robust petrol sector which sells both crude and refined oil. To be fair though they're not exactly located in a place where you can have an urban, industrial economy.

AN: The Shurayu military is ever-expanding, as the need for protection, pacification and more importantly violent proselytization only increases the farther the Shurayu expand. Unlike most militaries with a system of operational autonomy, the Shurayu give autonomy not to low-level officers but to the combat element itself, which is trusted in the field and often protected from being tried for war crimes as long as they achieve their objectives.

From what I can tell, Cold War in Europe ended a little bit earlier than in real life, in 1984 after fall of Russian State, which I guess is their Soviet Union.

The Shurayu are racist to an indescribable degree.

Btw, your factbooks are very well written and formatted, keep it up!

They’re centered in the Virgo supercluster, though little mention is made on which Galaxy might be the primary. They’re settled in several other galaxy clusters, but appear to have only just started poking their noses into alternate universes.

The regnant queen is openly homosexual, but unlike most other homosexual monarchs, open or otherwise, she is also married to a woman. The main issue that's risen from this marriage is that Éwelina adopted a child and now there are debates on whether Édwin stands to inherit or the throne should pass to Éwelina's relatives -one of her cousins, though nobody has been mentioned by name.

United States were the first country in the world to recognise Brazil as an independent state on May 26th, 1824. And if there is no mistake in factbooks, they established diplomatic relationship with them a bit earlier, on May 24th.

It appears to have a size similar to that of the U.S, but has about a third of it's population. It appears to be a federated unitary people's republic that was established after a bloody revolution in 1819-1820 overthrew the monarchist regime.

Ukraine has come under the rule of an ultra-authoritarian regime that conducts numerous programs involving hallucinogen-laced public water supply, forced institutionalization, execution of "undesirables", and other forms of state terror.

The Mutants have placed humans into underground prisons for cattle-like slave production and maintenance. Most of these "dens" are guarded by 20-30 Mutants and five breeders.
