Is the following thing canon in BN? [II]

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.
Liebendeland is on a small island off the western Portuguese coast.
NS stats are canon unless anything stated elsewhere contradicts them.

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.

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.

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.

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.
In a world where the Spartacists won in 1919 and Trotsky achieved his world revolution, Russia's minority dumping ground in the Far East is undergoing an internal revolution. Led by a sly artist-premier and his technocratic posse, surrounded by a salacious secretive Civil Servants' society, factionalist scheming, and (literal) backstabbing.

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.

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.

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.

BN uses really weird technology

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.

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.
