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

[Waisnor]

Aurelia Beatrice Dellamorte, who is a legengery witch, can summon servants, which for some reason are called "furniture"

[Filipinn]

In Waisnor's Grodno region, there are villages called Velikiye Veishnarishki and Malye Veishnarishki. Wish I could pronounce those villages IRL though.

[Russian-American Continental Alliance]

For their military, they use the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer as an 'Admiralty-class' destroyer, and for overview, it has about one billion people, which is odd considering most IRL populations mostly go onto the millions, only China and India really have 'billions' in their populations, and it possesses...700k km^2 of land, which is significantly concerning. IRL China has an area of 9,596,961 km2, which explains the jam-packed population, but 700k? Weird.

[Frisia Magna]

Filipinn spends roughly $551.4 billion on its defense budget -making 1% of its GDP, meaning that Filipinn has an, uh, GDP of $50 trillion. Sidenote, it also has 4.7 million active personnel that are not conscripted out of a total population of 1.53 billion in total.

AN: The unsteady stalemate and ceasefire between North and South Korea ended in 2003 when China, hoping to occupy and potentially annex the whole Peninsula, duped North Korea into an alliance to invade the South under a flimsy excuse of reunification. South Korea, helped by Japan and joined by North Korea five months after the invasion began, successfully repelled China and eventually reunified Korea under what I'm assuming is South Korea's leadership.

[Kaufestan]

Frisia has been a parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a unitary structure since the 1600s.

[Sherechia]

Frisia seems like a good place to live being quite wealthy and progressive for their time, no death penalty since 1870, Woman's rights in 1919, legalized same sex marriage in 2001, but they seem to be operating capitalism or mercantilism idk in overdrive, 300 million people in their east indies company in near slave-like conditions.

So you better hope you're born on the right part of the country

Ninjad

They are located in central asia, they are a former soviet state that is known for having free and fair elections and good freedom of the press and their leader is female.

[The Blazeland Administration]

I learned that Scherechia is basically an East Asian country, runs its economy through a socialist system, has a massive sized military, and pretty much runs similar to that of the PRC with more libertarian policies regarding civil rights and political freedom while having absolutely zero economic freedom.

[Waisnor]

Blazeland Administration occupies all of North America + Iceland, Venezuela & half of Guyana.
Also, this country has branch of Christianity, Scientific Catholicism, which, well, combines Catholicism with science.

[The Celestial Shurayu Republic]

The President of Waisnor must be at least 30 and serves for a term of 3 years

[Stato di Fiume]

Each god of the shurayu pantheon possesses it's own universe, and within that very universe, it chooses one of the mortals (all Shurayu of course) that are chosen upon conception to be mortal mirrors of their personality, and act as their "champions" in the great game of chess that is reality.

[Waisnor]

Gabriele D'Annunzio, first leader of Fiume, commited a ritual suicide. After this at the place where he died elder "supermen" go to die too to join D'Annunzio in the afterlife.

[Yuandongde]

I have learned that its political system is very chaotic, especially in the 90s and 00s, with a fascist uprising called Black Sunday occuring in 2005.

[Isles of Eamhna]

The Three Great Canals (Sān Dà Yùnhé/三大运河) are a public works project consisting of three massive canals across Nicaragua — the 192 km long Great Western Canal, the 122 km long Great Central Canal, and the 50 km long Great Eastern Canal.

Just the Central Canal is across OTL Nicaragua. The Western Canal is across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico, while the Eastern Canal is across the Isthmus of Panama.

[Tremulo]

Despite being majority Celtic, the native language is based on Phoenician.

[Stephaniesland]

Tremulo has a far more valuable currency than me.

[The Imagination Animals]

Stephaniesland’s leader is called the Supreme Director, a title currently held by Stephanie Cordato since April 2020. Cordato is considered the “founding mother” of her nation and is considered to be the 4th most popular American ruler, only after FDR, Lincoln, and Washington.

[Frisia Magna]

The Confederate Republic is named directly after its original leader and arguable 'founder', Stephanie Claire Cordato who is still the head of state. It has a larger population than any country in real life, and a land area that would be the 25th if Stephaniesland existed in real life.

AN: Crossoveria's military and its specifics are enshrined in the constitution, including legal conscription between 17 and 25 years (which, yikes) and uh, they legally can't own WMDs unless it's for a conflict... what other reason could you own a WMD for?

[Perikuresu]

-Grootfries Rijk has more content in their factbooks than the modern version of it
-Frisian East Indies? More like a giant sweatshop that spans the entire maritime South East Asia and Melanesia
-There's a Frisian West Indies
-They were forced to give up Nagasaki to Japan and Fuzhou to Zhili Clique (Not very lucky with Asian cities eh?)

[Yuandongde]

Perikuresu's culture is a diverse mixture of Polynesian, Asian and European cultures as it was first settled by various Polynesian groups(Hawaiians, Samoans, Rapa Nui peoples, etc), before coming into contact with Europeans and Asians, who I presume also settled the islands.

[The Saucer Pilots]

Their main political party is the Alliance of Heaven, which no doubt gets it's name from serving the Son of Heaven, or something. It is more or less, a Right Wing big-tent party that's described as paternalistic and traditionalist in it's social outlooks and corporatist in it's economic ones. Also, the Imperial Cult has co-opted Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity.

[Wip3d Out]

The Saucer Pilots Dominion is governed by the Magic Ruling Council, which is headed up by the top ranking officials in the 12 most important government departments in the country.

[The Celestial Shurayu Republic]

People have Radiant Systems to thank for the commercialization of Anti-Gravity vehicles.

[Isles of Eamhna]

-----

An important pillar of their cultural philosophy is ELLUMÁNAḪTU — the idea that all should perform "sacred toil" for the sake of all Shuraya. That which constitutes "sacred toil" can vary from person to person, as labouring to better society, to rightly honor the ancestors, or to provide for their descendants, for example, all fall under the umbrella of ELLUMÁNAḪTU.

[The Vault 87 Super Mutants]

In the late 9th century, the Islands were subjugated and tributized by the Vikings, remaining a Norwegian vassal for some time before being ceded to the Scottish.
