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

[Saksoni]

That united states above me are in fact US.

[The Caleshan Valkyrie]

Furries are illegal… and hunted.

[Continental Free States]

That united states above me are in fact US.

Holy shit, you're fucking with me right now right?

[Gothian Crimea]

Gun ownership is MANDATORY. Usually it is a ban/restriction, but a full on mandatory gun ownership? Now that is peak Georgia town levels of flex

What are they gonna do? Resist with the guns they refused to have?

[Lilguay]

@Continental Free States: That in their alt-history of the world, there is a Pacific League made up of 7 members, whom originated formed this suprenational organization to combat Japanese agression.

@Saksoni: That their myths strangely seem to have a "karma-like" motif: with one myth involving ghosts the help good spirits and kidnap "worst" people making them work and do good until they have worked off their debt, another myth where a politican who says something offensive about their country is muted and can only hear negative things about themselves for one year or until they earnestly apologize, and at least two myths about cleansing oneself of negativity.

@The Caleshan Valkyrie: E-sports are a popular form of recreation, but the militant and aggressive culture that otherwise permeates their society also permeates their e-sports with fighting games being common but at high difficulty, and tactile feedback being an important component of their games to make these e-sports full-contact sports.

[Kahekordne Union of Spib]

Lilguay is not Uruguay, and they use an advanced social market economy, with variations at lower levels of society. They also have a very equal society, with gender identities are nationally accepted and widespread

[Sky Citadel]

They were an autocratic government all the way until even 2022. It seems Spib is mostly IRL year, so this is a very recent change. However since the autocrat had already allowed many freedoms, it wasnt as extreme as it sounds.

[Broader Confederate States]

The Hawk People are... a little less cool than I thought they might be, just being normal humans with hollow bones and wings and better vision. Also, they use militias, and not a standing army. The factbook is pretty well thought out though, even if it's somewhat short.

[Nanako Island]

They are the CSA but less racist ?
They have a multi-party system +1
They have guns -1
THEY HAVE HST ! +1000

[New San Andreas Republic]

Uhh... ah, here we go!

They receive the most tourists per year from their fellow NationStates nation Hizurukuni, at over 15,000,000 arriving at some point. They are desperate to check out that wet, fragrant, unconquerable and overwhelmingly large Waterpoo!

Speaking Latin is extremely frowned upon if you are a diplomat.

[The Aquaria]

Although sounding weird, pianos seem to be one of the main exports of the nation.

[Waisnor]

Kakashi Hatake was the first president of Aquaria, ruling from 1943 to 2000. Originally he was ruling a military state, but after 1982 Red Square Riot he agreed to democratize Aquaria.

[Nanako Island]

Waisnor has a very interesting history and burgeoning film culture that has been celebrated through the Oscars. This nation seems extremely in-depth and interesting.

[Continental Free States]

The Royal Nanakian Armed Forces, which is made up of the Royal Nanakian Navy, the Royal Nanakian Air Force, and the Royal Nanakian Army, officially changed its name into the Nanako Self-Defense Forces in 1978 the moment the first Social Democratic government took office. To make it even more ridiculous, until 2006 if a body invaded their country and other countries didn't recognize it (for example, if a civil war broke out and half the country decided to secede by use of force), they would not constitutionally be allowed to fight it.

BN please pick a dispatch from the flags in this factbook. All but two of them are complete.

[The Caleshan Valkyrie]

Apparently their version of the Civil War was a great deal more bitter than in OTL, which is saying something cuz ours was a bloodbath. The Secessionist states were not admitted back into the Union until 1910.

[Aegeonia]

In their history the Norse and Mongols made a alliance, which is very interesting

[Isle of Westland]

They're getting dicked in a war.

[Aegeonia]

They're getting dicked in a war.

Actually the war ended, so the correct sentence is
“They Got Dicked in a War”

[Continental Free States]

A crown dependency of the United Kingdom, Westland is not considered part of the state and rather an 'independent' Lordship that is dependent on the island -somewhat unlike a real-life equivalent in Guernsey, Westland is in fact held by the Lord of Westland -who is not the British monarch.

[Lilguay]

In their alt-history, the US ended up with only 48 states (I assume the last two states to join the Union, neither of which are part of the Continental US, Alaska and Hawaii, are the ones not in the union in this Alt-History) and Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party was apparently able to become a major political party given that it has elected candidates in 2016.

[New San Andreas Republic]

Lilgray as a nation is a proponent of the proposed Holocene calendar, adding 10,000 years to the current Gregorian year (2022) to become 12,022 CE. This is apparently since the Neolithic Revolution occurred roughly at the time of the calendar's proposed first year.

They seem to have a problem with cannibalistic raiders.

[Sky Citadel]

They are basically the papal states on steroids. Also from the forums I remember they had space nukes. I think they can take Jerusalem now.

[Lilguay]

They are a civilization made up of two avian theme species and humans as a third species, living on a flying citadel powered by slaves (typically enslaved as punishment for a crime) working a furnance.

Also this is definitely an alt-account for Gothian Crimea
