NATION

PASSWORD

Is the following thing canon in BN? [II]

The place to relax, unwind, share a joke, and generally goof off.

Eh, depends on what region you are talking about. I'd say no if you are talking about the nation itself.

Rhanukhan established five colonies (Bahamghar, Currakhan, Kharanwhari, Lazarastra, and Lehpuhrta) during an event known as "The Great Banana Rush" in 2008. Lehpuhrta disappeared (quite spectacularly), but the other four have since become regular provinces within the Unification. Lazarastra briefly attempted to gain independence early on and Currakhan remains host to a separatist movement that causes trouble even today, however.

BN practices a tradition that is regarded as bizarre by outsiders.

Indeed, the Uratto cinema industry is booming and with the recent conflicts the market has been filled with war films and documentaries of the soldiers in these conflicts sparking more patriotism. Other than war films you can find all types of genres.

BN was once fractured into multiple kingdoms and or sultanates/ Duchies.

Other way around, hilariously enough. Constitutionally America forbids the government from establishing a religion, but the government either subtly promotes or outright forces Christianity (though only as a conceptual religion, as the many denominations and sects often don't even recognize each other as Christian) on the population. This obviously differs province to province.

Absolutely not
The BN is a federation, but the general government exerts so much authority and limits the powers of the federal subjects to a degree that it might more accurately be considered a decentralized unitary state.

No, only on themselves once in the Tummylandian Civil War as an assasination attempt against Ike. C. Cring (the former dictator from 2010 to 2012). It failed, only killing 2,461 civilians.



BN has an Austronesian language as its official language(s).

Austronesian people cringe The failing democracy of the 3rd lanfang republic banned Malay/Dayak literature and the malay/Dayak language in public use. Although the ban has now been lifted by the 4th republic and progress has been made to mitigate racism and historical segregationism in the New Lanfang, segregation widely exists today as each race prefers to be around the same kind. One of the leading progress was to officially declare Malay and Dayak as a recognized minority language, though not in official/government-capacity use.

Depends how you want to view the topic.

In-universe, no, because no such international committee exists in-universe to decide what is and is not a war crime. None of the powers in control can tolerate the mere existence of each other for five minutes without trying to exterminate the others, let alone long enough to form such a committee. Besides, none of the three such superpowers would view it as being in their own best interests to agree to any such things; each knows the others would break those rules anyways, and one of them is a theocracy that literally worships what can best be described as "an eldritch war god of crimes against humanity". So in-universe, no, because no international committee exists to outlaw anything internationally - everyone hates each other too much to form such a thing, and basically no nation (let alone a non-state actor such as us) would agree to such a thing, as they would view it as limiting their options to fight back against their hated enemies.

Out-of-universe, going of the IRL Laws and Customs of War? Ignoring the fact that we are not a country, but an international crime syndicate, and our persons are not soldiers but professional criminals, thus much of this would likely not apply anyhow... Yes, very much so. Let's see... what all have we broken?
  • The Strasbourg Agreement of 1675. (We have used poisoned ammo before, ranging from poisoned arrows and crossbow bolts to firearm bullets made of substances known to be toxic to the parties being fired upon; e.g. using silver bullets against werewolves when silver is known to be highly toxic to them with very painful and negative long-term health effects.)
  • The Geneva Convention of 1864. (We torture and kill prisoners, among a lot of other things.)
  • The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. (Sacking towns, forcing persons to fight against their own country, using expanding munitions, and using poison gases launched by artillery.)
  • The Geneva Protocol. (Again, poison gas.)
  • The Chemical Weapons Convention. (Again, poison gas. We make, purchase, sell, proliferate, and use it. Chlorine and mustard gas are two of our favorites.)
  • The Biological Weapons Convention. (Hurling diseased corpses over walls and chucking them down wells probably counts. Use of spells that specifically only exist to spread plagues definitely counts.)
  • The Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. (We've broken every Protocol of it in some way or another. Some, like Protocol IV, we broke only using magic, but I'm sure nobody in their right mind would argue that a magic spell that produces a beam of blinding light which is used to incapacitate foes by blinding them isn't a "blinding laser weapon".)
  • The Ottawa Treaty of 1997. (Again, we use anti-personnel landmines.)
  • The Arms Trade Treaty of 2014. (We are involved in black market arms dealings.)

That's just the ones I can think of, I'm positive we've broken more.

EDIT: Uh... no. Electricity has not been discovered as a thing that can power things in our 'verse. It has been discovered as a weapon though, but that is all anybody thinks to do with it. When people here think of electricity, they think of wizards flinging lightning bolts at each other, not something you use to make things move or do things.

EDIT 2: Since the AN doesn't seem to understand this; you can't have a semiconductor industry if you don't know that electricity can be used to do things besides magically electrocuting your foes. Still me.
