BN uses a non-metric and non-imperial unit of measurement

Yes! I have a whole factbook about it.

BN has a internet domain (.us, .ca, .uk, etc.) that is already taken by a RL country.

by **Andronya** » Tue Oct 26, 2021 12:45 pm

Suprisingly not, i was expecting Andorra to already have the .an termination, but turns out not so... that's a cool detail I didn't know.

BN has a cuisine that is generally considered "unhealthy"

by **Pulsroth** » Tue Oct 26, 2021 12:58 pm

In large amounts, yes. Griddlefish and thick cream sauces have a habit of piling on the pounds.

BN allows private companies to operate trains, whether alongside a state railway or in their own right.

by **Dexterra** » Tue Oct 26, 2021 1:28 pm

First, private companies do not exist in our nation, as all businesses are effectively and essentially publicly owned.

Second, all transportation except personal motor vehicles are public, which includes railways, airways, roadways, waterways and teleportation whenever that becomes available.

BN has established a professional baseball league

by **Sybira** » Tue Oct 26, 2021 1:37 pm

Nah, baseball is not a big enough thing here.

BN has two major parties: a Labour-like centre-left and a Tory-like centre-right.

by **-Astoria-** » Tue Oct 26, 2021 1:44 pm

Welp, guilty as charged.

BN has a navy.

Canon, despite there being many parties, the two traditional parties still maintain a dominant role in political life. The Zohianian Freedom Party and the Zohiania United-Left.

Ninja'd

Canon.

BN has its own unique system of voting for their elections that is generally considered quite 'alternative' if not weird

by **Yaak** » Tue Oct 26, 2021 1:50 pm

No, we don't throw our raffle tickets in a top hat and pull one out.

BN has animals in the military.

by **Wiolgopomorska** » Tue Oct 26, 2021 3:44 pm

Canon? Wiolgopomorskan military maintains griffin cavalry as one of its branches due to tradition, although its role has mostly shifted to being ceremonial. The griffins, as creatures with intellect strongly exceeding typical animal, are considered members of the military.

BN does not institute military draft.

by **Redeemed Britannia** » Tue Oct 26, 2021 11:57 pm

Correctomundo, we no longer have a national draft as it was abolished in the 1960s.

The BN does not hold elections for the upper house of its legislative body.

We don't hold any elections - the concept of democracy and voting does not exist at all in our 'verse. Quite simply, nobody has come up with the idea yet.

We also do not separate legislative, executive, and judicial bodies. This is not strange, as we are a VNSA, not a country. (Also to be fair, actual states in our 'verse don't tend to separate those three either. Your options for government here tend to consist of absolute monarchy, military dictatorship, theocracy, or some blend of the three, and the only alternative anyone's really presented is anarchy.)

In BN, religion and politics are so closely married that it is nigh impossible to untangle them.

by **Tsaivao** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 12:55 pm

Maybe for the more theocratic nations in Tsaivao like the Majai and the Lekkans, but otherwise most societies are a degree secular. So no, I would have to say most aren't like this.

BN has some number of nuclear torpedoes in their arsenal

Uhh... That's classified.

BN has considered or actively uses vat babies as a "superior" form of reproduction over the more natural method.

by **Wiolgopomorska** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 6:48 am

Wrong. First, Wiolgopomorska doesn’t care about efficiency of reproduction. Second, the tech is not developed enough to create vat babies in any large numbers, if at all.

BN uses really weird technology

by **Bigpipstan** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 11:03 am

Yesn't

BN was accused of being a imperialist nation despite having a long history of isolationism.

by **Valley of Mines** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 12:08 pm

Somehow yes. The whole nation is totally isolationist end even can't change it because there is magic barriere that separates it from the rest of the world. But the central government is accused of interial imperialism, or rather urbanism in order to defeat the oppositionary settlements.

BN is treated as the good and rightful country, but wouldn't be in the real present world.

by **The Onox Legion** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 12:17 pm

We are definetly the opposite of that. Both in our own setting, the multiverse and even in the real world, if it existed there.

BN lies on a Birch World or another galactic gigastructure

by **Cominsol** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 1:58 pm

It does not, no. However, such things do exist in the wider setting I've been thinking up, in part because I have also been playing with that Stellaris mod.

BN is predominantly vegetarian.

by **Life empire** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 2:04 pm

no life empire has a quite low % of vegetarians among there population (I actually also play stellaris just like AN what a coinsidence)

does BN have multiple univeses or a mulitvesrse in there lore (mine does)

Not Canon. Bovids, Pork, Poultry, Ratites, and Lagomorphs are usually what's for dinner along with a heaping of greens/vegetables, potato, and garnish of parsley.

Not Cannon, yet. There has been an inadvertent breakthrough by a clandestine group that does not know exactly how to reveal its discovery to the world. It is currently exploring through a portal artifact system many divergent realities. To everyone else however, a Universe of multiverses is still science fiction in this time-time continuum.

Time travel is in theoretical stages of technological (or magical) development

by **Electricate** » Sat Oct 30, 2021 12:14 pm

Yes. In technological. Government supports it.

Politicians in BN are smug.

No, not really

BL is smug

More like batshit autistic, but I guess you could say that.

BN's military uses horses for frontline combat cavalry (as opposed to ceremonial roles, or even logistics).

by **Auzkhia** » Sun Oct 31, 2021 9:37 am

Well, we are horses. So, canon? Though unicorns are often officers and specialists, pegasi are airborne troops.

BN practices some kinda of animist religion

by **Wiolgopomorska** » Sun Oct 31, 2021 12:57 pm

Nope, the main religion in Wiolgopomorska is Renaissaintism, which is basically magic-encouraging Christianity.

BN utilises flying beasts in its military
