Is the following thing canon in BN? [II]

[Gonswanza]

WWI and WWII did occur, however, Gonswanza was spared from both due to careful diplomatic dodging and isolation.



BN has at one point or another had a horrific event occur, which resulted in a public holiday being created due to such an event, or even a sort of period of celebration or grieving. Ergo, (IRL) 9/11 for the US.

[Christian Terra]

That is thankfully not the case

Did WWI and WWII occur in BN's timeline?

[The Kingdom of the Three Isles]

No. But the Great War did.

---

BN believes that other animals are equal to humans.
Frick I got ninja’d. I edited it.

[Auzkhia]

I mean, not all people are human, so yeah we do.

BN has vigilantes as law enforcement.

[Redeemed Britannia]

Vigilantism is not lawful. It happens, and sometimes the law enforcement allows it to happen, but it's not within the official law enforcement framework.

The BN's socio-cultural situation is more akin to the late 19th century American West.

[Gandoor]

Not canon.

---

BN has undergone at least two successful revolutions

[Andronya]

Kinda? If you count the war of Independence and the Civil war as revolutions, then yes, Andronya has undergone two revolutions.

Videogames are really popular in BN

[Liebendeland]

No, the internet and most technology never really caught on in Liebendeland. Barely anyone has a TV, and the only games available are sports, board games, and other stuff like air hockey.

BN has a serious racism problem.

[Dunkirlothesia]

Not under the GLORIOUS LEADERSHIP OF ARCHTRIGE V DUNKIRK

In BN, France was or is canon

[Gonswanza]

Yes, France exists. Nothing special here.



BN uses hydroponics along with having a system meant to conserve water for greater efficiency and capacity in case of a dry spell or drought.

[Tsaivao]

First no, second yes. We've been experimenting with hydroponics as that would solve many of our problems, and while it does work for succulents, that is sort of cheating, and not super useful for crops. On the other hand we do have quite a few reservoirs and cisterns in large cities.

BN is losing or has lost its most recent war or skirmish

[Liebendeland]

The nation isn't very involved in wars, but it does have a communist revolution going on, and they're kind of losing to that, so yeah, sure.

BN has lots of g*y p*rn.

[Auzkhia]

Auzkhia is world renowned for its gay porn. One thing unique about it, most of it is made by and for queer people themselves. Sexuality in Auzkhia is very much liberated here. We even have literal Priests, Priestesses, and Priestexes of porn, especially in the Venus and Bacchus Cults. Apollo is consider that patron god of male homosexuality so Apollonian priests may star in or produce. Roman Harmonism has not just tolerated this but openly embraced this.

BN has a state religion yet almost nobody actually follows it.

[Redeemed Britannia]

False. The state religion still has the majority of the population following it. Most of them don't take their religious duties very seriously though so there's that.

The Air Force is the BN's most respected military service branch.

[Celestial American Republic]

False. The state religion still has the majority of the population following it. Most of them don't take their religious duties very seriously though so there's that.

The Air Force is the BN's most respected military service branch.

We don't have an air force, our Navy serves that role, and, well, in space a Navy is the most important branch so yes.

BN was once under a fascistic or communistic government

[Janpia]

We are once under a fascist government. Now we are under a communist one

BN utilizes flags to communicate

[Andronya]

Not really, during WW2 there was public support for fascism in Andronya, but since the end of WW2 and the Nuremberg Trials fascism stopped being popular in Andronya, and it never caught on ever since. Andronyans are staunchly anti-communist as well.

BN is an island country

Edit: I keep getting Ninja'd

[Terra Britania]

A country whose capital is on an island, yes, although a lot of overseas territories are on continents. So... not fully?

---

BN simultaneously denies and is proud of committing genocide gamer moments against another ethnic group. (think Turkey against Armenians)

[Celestial American Republic]

You assume we deny it

BN was former province of an old empire before its independence

[Mirum]

BN was former province of an old empire before its independence

To an extent. We were created primarily by colonies of that had asked their empire (who wasn’t really getting anything from them) for independence and got it, but didn’t unite until much later.

BN currently has an SSTO or Spce Shuttle equivalent that is currently active in their space program.

[Synne Industries]

Not like I have anything fleshed-out for the 2080s but considering my current trajectory, sure. Airbreathing propulsion is set to get rather violent and really, if you throw yourself at the right angle with the right amount of force behind you, you’re going to end up in space.

---

BN’s small arms, whether indigenously designed or not, do not use ammunition considered “common” for their verse’.

[GreatOceania]

Yes Ratnik Ammo while is mass-produced and is used in the Oceanian Military along with experimental Dark Matter Rounds it’s never seen in use by other countries nor is it allowed to be sold to other allies

BN has done something that caused irreversible damages to their nation

[Janpia]

Nope. All change can be reversed.

Unlike execution island where we detonate testing nukes on grave criminals and war criminals years ago

BN uses small tactical nuke that can be used by commandos

[Tohorin]

That's beyond our technical grasp and most of the fire-arrows were expended millennia ago when the humans offed themselves.

---

Annual rainfall in BN is rather erratic.

[Farnhamia]

The nation isn't very involved in wars, but it does have a communist revolution going on, and they're kind of losing to that, so yeah, sure.

BN has lots of g*y p*rn.

Knock it off with the not very sly sexual references before you get warned for breaking the PG-13 rule. And putting asterisks in words to disguise them doesn't really disguie them, does it?
