Is the following thing canon in BN? [II]

[Agencourt]

Agencourt is currently being invaded by it's only neighbouring country, but aside from that slight hiccup, no.

---

BN is currently in a state of crisis.

[Beric]

On the cusp



The BN people would never have heard of or believed in Fairies

[A m e n r i a]

They're not really part of Asian culture, but similar things exist and we call them ghosts.

BN's ghosts aren't always spooky.

[Auzkhia]

Ghosts in our folklore are spirits or shades. Reported ghost hauntings are rare because ghosts are said to more of an individual experience, usually invoked in Necromancy (communication with the dead)

The spookiness of ghosts to us is our fears of mortality and death. In many stories, ghosts serve as a plot device to represent unfinished ancestral business like grudges between families. A shade appearing to you could be interpreted by a Necromantis (what we call a medium) and sometimes ghosts were said to be results of curses and to excise a ghost one would have to get the curse lifted or warded against. Funeral rites often involve a ward against curses, even if it is unofficial since the Harmonist College of Pontiffs teaches that all shades belong to the Pluto of the Underworld, nonetheless folk belief of curses persists even some Priests call it superstition. Life after death is unknown so the Harmonist College of Pontiffs in Rome does not clarify any position, since life after even if known could distract from living a virtuous life. Ghosts in the northern parts tend to have more spookier traits ascribed to them especially among those who uphold native Germanic religion, and even then the collective cultural conscious has blended both views.

Ghosts are spooky here, but typically to an individual rather than a group, consult your local guides, spirit worker, or Necromantis.

BN has an urban-rural political divide.

[Kahekordne Union of Spib]

Nah, most of the people in rural areas work in urban areas, and almost no one lives in the interior temperate rainforest

BN has at least 10% of their population be LGBTQ+

[Kahekordne Union of Spib]

/bump

[Wormfodder Delivery]

Nah, the Worms themselves are very different from earth-born creatures and thus aren't capable of being LGBTQ+, Wamuese Psychology is something I'll do far later. The guests that are capable of being LGBTQ+ do exist, but certainly not in numbers where they would be 10% of the guests population, let alone the Wamuese one.

BN is Animistic in their Religion

[Medzhumoramia]

Nope. Paganism is basically limited to larping teenage metal fans.

BN criminalizes whaling.

[New-lamp Dynasty]

We do not have whales, soo no
----------------------------------------------------

Political terrorism

[Quasi-Stellar Star Civilizations]

Nope. Most people are happy with the current leadership and those who don't protest it peacefully.



BN has existed for less than 400 years.

[Life empire]

life empire is ancient to say the least, a lot more ancient than 400 years

would BN be considered extremely overpowered in most cannons but in it's own cannon still has roughly equally matched rivals? (effectivelly overpoweredness would be normal in BN's cannon)

[A m e n r i a]

This is an RPG with heavily borrowed elements of the shonen genre. Anyone in R1 can be overpowered if they exercise enough.

The most defensively powerful character in BN doesn't look the part. (They can be small, thin, or otherwise someone you wouldn't expect to shrug off an AT shell).

[Newland City]

He was kinda scrawny before he got his cybernetic enhancements, but now that he has them, maybe not so much

---

BN's people have some skill, like archery, or horse-riding, that most of them are taught young and are able to do.

[Tummylandia and Susistan]

Unless you are from the backwater anarchy of Northern Tummylandia or grew up in the poshest Blahajstad household, not really.

---

BN recognizes minority languages.

[Socialist Ancomistan]

Yes we recognize minority languages, namely the Native American tribal languages, but not languages of any foreign countries (with the exception of English, French, and Spanish, our three official languages)

A non-corrupt politician?

[Diarcesia]

Yes we recognize minority languages, namely the Native American tribal languages, but not languages of any foreign countries (with the exception of English, French, and Spanish, our three official languages)

A non-corrupt politician?

Canon

Are boxes canon in BN?

[Dalmazia-Istria]

Yes we recognize minority languages, namely the Native American tribal languages, but not languages of any foreign countries (with the exception of English, French, and Spanish, our three official languages)

A non-corrupt politician?

Canon

Are boxes canon in BN?

they’ve been around for millennia, and modern cardboard boxes were invented in our own country in 1794

BN was one of the first countries to industrialize?

[Astarter]

I don’t think so? The first country was Britain, but they were my owner, so you could say so?

BN has been in a war within the past year

[The Distanic Confederacy]

Yes
It is legal to buy Uranium in BN

[Sugarica]

No, it is not, unless it's used by scientists and verified beforehand.

Does your nation have its own language? (not an existing one like English, Greek, Japanese, etc.)

[Dalmazia-Istria]

Yes
It is legal to buy Uranium in BN

only if you work for the government and acquire government permission through a paperwork process

Ninja’d

well kinda yes kinda no

the Dalmatian romance language did exist in the irl timeline but went extinct in 1898, whereas it is alive and thriving as one of the three main spoken languages of our country (alongside standard Italian and Serbo-Croatian), and the one uniquely associated with our nation

---

BN is popular with tourists

[East Plate]

Not really. There is not much to see in East Plate. If you come to East Plate from a foreign nation, it is usually to immigrate, not to just visit.

BN was a monarchy until it was abolished and the whole royal family was murdered.

[Red Lake Circle]

Partially true. The royal family was ousted, and a few members of it were killed, but not the whole family. It was also done by a foreign power, not a revolution. It would take a very long time for Red Lake to gain independence from them again.

---

BN has a highly decentralized and tracking-resistant version of the internet, for better or for worse.

[Vanguardist Union]

Quite the opposite, in fact. The Vanguardist Union operates a highly centralised intranet service that can be monitored by the Revolutionary Security Office with ease (although they need probable cause before they snoop on anyone in particular).

BN has a number of famous painters in its history.

[Jacrain]

Canon. Jacrain is known for its value for the arts.

BL has a secret lover
