There history goes back quiet far, and they were able to defend off of European Colonists, and they have a really good technology level

by **New San Andreas Republic** » Tue Jun 21, 2022 9:11 pm

Aegeonia is made up of 3,517 Islands within the Aegean Sea, which if I consult the egghead math geniuses I know... is a lot.

The New San Andreas Republic, also known as Los Santos, is a federal republic built after a cannibalism raid and a nuclear apocalypse. They seem to be a bureaucracy.

A rare occurrence of a socialist country having multiple parties, a decent standard of living, a sizable economy, and good social stability

by **Aegeonia** » Wed Jun 22, 2022 9:54 am

No One:
Literally No One:
Spib: ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY FLAT WORM!!!

But srsly I learned that the People of Spid pretty much worship Flatworms, other than that they do have a long history

Aegeonia lies in Greece and the western coast of Anatolia.(OK so maybe I made a map so didn't read for that but whatever.)
Onto stuff I learned: Apparently they practiced Islam, before Islam was made. (Persian Age of the history section)

Um ok, this is VERY fascinating history.

Stunning detail on the tensions caused by mixed demographics.

A great overview of how the government runs.

A economy so detailed economists blush.

Tourists must love this culture.

I like how he created a detailed and unique religiuon.

Their language is a beautiful mix of modern and ancient languages from within their lands, and the way they mix is properly explained.

And to top it all off they have one of the best military sections I've ever seen.

No but seriously, you can just say WIP.

Aegeonia: Despite the fact regional trading companies wouldn't exist until centuries later in real life, there existed a so-called "Roman Trading Company" which operated in what is now Aegeonia, aiming to gain a monopoly over Aegeonian trade.

Sky Citadel: Though they're all called 'bird people' of some sort (Hawk people and the Harpies), they look closer to 'humans with wings' [where the former have wings in addition to human-like limbs, while the latter's wings are their limbs]. The Sky Citadel is pretty clearly a society based on an ethnoracial (speciest?) caste system where the physically strong Hawks are at the top, the physically weaker harpies on the lower ladder, and everyone else -mostly humans? Apparently? Not sure whether there's no other human-shaped anthro states on the surface- at the bottom.

by **Nanako Island** » Wed Jun 22, 2022 2:58 pm

on average, Americans consume 1.1 bottles of hard liquor per week

I was trying to check if this was grounded in reality but when i searched i got this "The per capita consumption of pure alcohol in the United States is about two and three-quarter gallons per year, which corresponds to just under an ounce a day,"
Fuck freedom units lmao. So i immediately abandoned.
I guess the "hard liquor bottle" metric is way more papable!
And it does seem like a lot.

For BN
Suggestion : https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1719090. Still WIP, feel free to take whatever other dispatches/factbook if not interested

by **New San Andreas Republic** » Wed Jun 22, 2022 3:02 pm

Due to volcanic activity and resulting eruption material, Nanako is slowly getting larger and larger by surface area. Basically, they don't need to invade anyone to gain more territory.

Lucky bastards. We love territory.

They're a post apocalyptic wasteland of San Andreas in the future. So basically San Andreas.

They're basically a what if that Gate anime happened in Canada. The Canadians start colonizing the fantasy world.

that is by far the best summary of my nation's main factbook I've ever read. Kudos.

They are a nation of dolls who form by magic, and had a war between "broke/incomplete" dolls led by live against the kingdom, which was effectively a misunderstanding, and now are building back up to be a safe haven for the Astels.

Their world map apparently looks like somebody just up and cut through the crust of their world with a great big sword or some such, but I can find no explanation as to how it got like that. I’d think that would be an event of some note.

Above Ninja: They’re basically the hawk-people from Flash Gordon, and treat normal humans as slaves because they ain’t got wings like respectable people oughta.

by **Lilguay** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 2:35 pm

The leaders of specific tribes are called the Cala, whom are chosen in a meritocratic and semi-democratic matter. The Cala have control over basically all aspects of the lives of their tribe (implying no separation or limited separation of powers) and have all their needs and demands met so long as they are fulfilling their duties. It is a great responsibility and honor and final sacrifice to become Cala.

Lilguay seems to be pretty unisex country - their main language has only gender neutral pronouns, locker rooms are all unisex and sports competitions are not divided into men and woman ones.

Waisnor participates in Eurovision since 1995. Their best performance is at second place in 2011.

Arcesius is the capital of Diarcesia, but also metaphorically refers to the First Monarch Arkess, who lived in the 9th century. On a hunting trip, his companions (who wrote plays with him when they were younger) tried to betray and murder him, but he was saved by a lynx (hence the flag). Later on, he would unite several city states to form Diarcesia due to the threat of invasion from the north.

As of 2021, the annual military budget is $263.9 billion.

by **Meadowfields** » Sat Jun 25, 2022 7:11 pm

Their old flag, which is currently the flag of San Andreas, had only one beaver head on it, but now, probably due to the nuclear apocalypse they experienced, it has two heads (to denote mutation?).

by **Allied Iran** » Sun Jun 26, 2022 5:51 am

The largest religion in Meadowfields is called 'Meadowfieldian Ancestor Reverence', or Árweorþrung, in which the spiritual ancestors to the modern Meadowfields, as opposed to ancestors of one's own, are worshipped as deities, most notable among them Borough, the Raven of Time, who founded Meadowfields.

Unlike the real world, Persia is close to the United States. Babylonian(Iraq?) still seems to have the Ba'ath Party in power, and the Persian-Babylonian War lasted three years. The Iran-Iraq war in the real world lasted for eight years, but in the Persian world, the war ended shortly.

They're a fairly standard democratic country with power distributed between various branches of government.

That their leader, the Gitchgumee, which is roughly analogous to a king, has been losing their power, with more checks being placed on the Gitchgumee over time.

by **New San Andreas Republic** » Sun Jun 26, 2022 5:32 pm

Various nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals have been added to common foodstuffs in Lilguay in order for the government to bolster the health of its citizens. These include omega 3 fatty acids, soluble fibers and prebiotics, iodine, selenium, magnesium (as magnesium l-threonate or magnesium malate), inositol, choline, all 8 b-vitamins, vitamin c, vitamin k2 and vitamin d3, glycine, proline, tryptophan, l-citrulline, and anti-inflammatory polyphenols. They also add lithium, nano-hydroxyapatite and d minerals and electrolytes to their water (although it is optional apparently, no idea how optional the food stuff is)

In other words,

Don't drink the water. They put something in it, to make you forget...

I don't even remember how I got here.
