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

[Rhanukhan]

In the vast multiverse of alt-Germanies, this is number 482364829. It is bigger than the present-day real-world Germany, covering territory within Germany, Austria, Poland, and Lithuania - also a curious square location in the Bay of Biscay (not sure what's going on there). Its socialist economy is powered by mainly nationalised industry and is ranked second largest in the world.

[Waisnor]

In Rhanukhani fashion, wearing jewelry is very commonplace and even those on the poor side show off at least a little bit of jewelry to not be loathed.

[Lehpuhrta]

Waisnorian currency is notably unusual, being printed with full colour images of paintings and photographs rather than the complex etchings seen in most nations. Various aspects of the nation's history and culture are celebrated, including renowned figures and works of the arts, science, and sports. Notes feature a portrait of such a figure on one side and a related image (such as their work) on the other.

Kris, Get The Banana (i apologise).
There was a banana incident (well landing on one), also the whole damn place is flyin in the sky!

[Hiyoko]

I've learnt they seem to have conflicting accounts of what their nation really is and that massacres against security forces occur on a daily basis enough to warrant an 'entire factbook' for it. That and their leadership is apparently quite dead inside.

[Meretica]

Hiyoko reminds me of a number of Japanese empires and kingdoms. There was no direct mention of Confucius or his ideas in this factbook, but many of its tenets are there: an emphasis on order and hierarchy, community with collective responsibility, ethical conduct and discipline--it's all there. I also thought it was interesting that, unlike neoliberal (and other) views, Hiyokoan society views sexuality as less rigid and doesn't emphasize it as a defining aspect of identity.

BN, this factbook is the most up-to-date one.

[Chyrak]

Monarchy. Literally everything I learnt.

[Der Deutscher Volksbund]

Despite having comparatively little oil in comparison to other producers/exporters, it still considers it a primary industrial pillar of its economy.

[Meretica]

Der Deutscher Volksbund is an alternate-history Germany, in which socialist forces took over the government in 1932. It translates to German People's League.

My Factbooks

[Israel and the Sinai]

They have an old monarchy.

[Meretica]

They have an old monarchy.

Could I please get something more definite? The last two people have been so vague it's almost like people are looking at a headline and moving on. /StillMe

[Allied Iran]

Meretica: From what I'm seeing, ranks of nobility are mostly limited to Emperor/Empress, King/Queen, and Lord/Lady, which suggests that the Empire of Meretica (ruled, as the name suggests, by an Emperor from the House of Fayeward), is organised into at least two kingdoms (unless Michael II Dragonheart and Ismelda vra Jeanarde VI rule the same polity a la the Ptolemaic Kingdom). I am unable to confirm whether "General" is also a noble rank or whether it's merely a military rank that is higher in the hierarchy than a Lordship.

Israel and the Sinai: The very very tiny Green banner in their flag represents the presumably equally tiny Muslim population of their country. Sorry, I literally could not make up anything more to write about you.

BN be advised that if you give me a oneliner or a "haha weird Anglish funny" response I will do my best to /stillme.

[ImSaLiA]

First off, there is great attention to detail! I like these factbooks, as they... uh show how bad I am at writing them, but I digress. So, a bunch of people wandered into Persia (somehow), lotsa lotsa conflict and RL nations duking it out.
Greek name, how intriguing. And is that a conlang i smell?

[Essic]

First and foremost, The LGBTQIELDRITCH HORRORSHOW have information contained with cognitohazard, how great, but it is to be expected in a horror show. Their history is pretty neat and tidy, when their nation began, they had liberal foreign policies, allying and being chummy with everyone. However, after being an observer member of Lone Wolves United, they had been 'taught' a lesson and changed their foreign policy. Imsalia has many anti-corruption laws (extremely based) and seems to worship one known as 'The Sleeping One', a seemingly benevolent power with a representative granting Imsalia knowledge, very epic. Oh and AN thinks a slaughterhouse has 20 targets in it, like lad have you even seen Sockdefe-

They have an anonymous and eerie but surprisingly benevolent leader, literally me!

[Terra da Cinza]

The barrier between sincerity and irony is seemingly unclear with this nation, although i'd say it's mostly sincere. I guess the random access humor consisting of contemporary popular lingo and the occasional anime reference acts as the exotic seasoning in an otherwise not so exotic dish, that being a Sultanate ruled by an enlightened despot of sorts.

[Allied Iran]

Terra da Cinza was first discovered by the Portuguese in 1540, but as the Sengoku Jidai ended and the new Japanese government began stamping down on Christianity and the foreign trade, it became effectively impossible to continue the colonisation of Terra da Cinza so the Portuguese (instead of attacking and colonising all of Japan, now that they had an actual colony nearby as opposed to RL) just called it a day and went home, leaving the territory more or less isolated for the next two centuries.

[Waisnor]

This version of Persia seems to bypass all the Arabic things in their nation, what with Zoroastrism being the dominant religion. Also, they seem to be one of the biggest countries in the world economically with GDP being 1,6 trillion dollars.

[Tyreis]

Their currency is Thalers, they participate in Olympics, Eurovision and have a TV Serial called the 'Shield'. Orthodox Christianity is the major religion.

[East Leaf Republic]

Tyreis is a sovereign nation in an unknown region, with a population of over 85 million. They're national anthem is “ Gezang Van Tyrel ” translated to “ Song of Tyries ” in English. They're capital is Sylvorin, a city with over 2, 450, 000 inhabitants. They're demonym is Tyreian and they have a language called “ Landsprek ”. They're government's E-Mail is supportgov@ty. In the year 270, the first humans would settle in Tyreis. The two funeral practices are mourning over the dead soul or cremating the dead body. Karthian Deitism is the most practices religion and, they have some elves inhabiting the nation. They're currency is Florin.

[Bogestan]

East Leaf is basically alt Japan w/ different ethnic groups that was conquered by Brittish & then became sovereign in 1907. They also avoided the militaristic part of IRL Japan. Their national food is Sushi (I guess they like it even more), & their national bird is the dove (I imagine it being the white dove). Their flag is a green banner w/ an 8-point star & a dragon in the middle - one of the residents came up w/ this the design. Green represents the nature, yellow star symbolises the sun, dragon in the middle is the Shining Dragon - people believe that seeing it is a very good sign. The origin of the people now living here is lost to time, some theorise they're descendants of the Indonesians, but the main reason this theory might be false is due to absolutely different languages used by both of them. Furthermore they have their national religion - Kuukan, origins of which are as known as the origins of its main worshipers - totally not. The religion is based arond a god/gods Bugendai - according to it, Bugendai create worlds, but they might die destroying the world & another Bugendai will create a new one using previous Bugendai's body. 1 year for a Bugendai is 1 billion years for us.

[Republics of the Solar Union]

I have learned that Bogestan is Sweden but on a giant island with Chinese history.

[High Earth]

I learned that it makes for a very interesting nation concept if a nation has colonized the solar system, but not the whole galaxy yet.

[Bogestan]

I have learned that Bogestan is Sweden but on a giant island with Chinese history.

I personally thought my history is Japan then becoming USSR!
By the way, I'm not on an island but on a continent.
