Favorite line from AN's Factbooks II

[The Britannian Empire]

The United States became the world's leading industrial power at the turn of the 20th century, due to an outburst of entrepreneurship and industrialization and the arrival of millions of immigrant workers and farmers.

Very nice.

[The Astellian Kingdom]

Initially the 87th in line of succession, she succeeded Lelouch vi Britannia, her older brother and the 99th Emperor.

Funny enough, I didn't realize this was Code Geass until I reread the factbook.

[Kingdom of Lechia]

Garlond

A nation of humans.
A militaristic empire threatening to conquer the other nations of Harahel.

[The Great Basin Kingdom]

The American invasion of Lechia in 2059 was successful and the self-proclaimed king Borzywoj's rule is over.

Oh heck I didn't realize American invasion was on the table! You know GBK's always down for casting the US as a paradoxical "empire of liberty."

[Rhanukhan]

For impact, profile, and controversy, however, Elizabeth Sleet's most significant decision in office is certainly her interpretation of the Basinites' "biblical polygamy."

Such progressive leanings in the 1800s? To quote another fictional leader, "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."

[Uthossia]

The average Symyan closely resembles a chimpanzee and stands around 4ft tall. The resemblance is close enough that, during the war, two Symyano engineers who'd accidentally been teleported into the Rhanukhan Kaglakh Parliament Building were able to flee the city by ditching their clothes and riding in the back of a van taking animals to one of the laboratories in Kanghari province.

Very smart, truly one of the resemblances of all time

[The Rio Grande River Basin]

Compared to the Thaidals and the Raidis, the Tlhung are more religious. Most Tlhung adhere to miscellaneous pagan and animistic beliefs. Tlhung are taught to write poems and prose to express their emotions, and to please their pagan and animistic gods with talent and artistry. This explains why Tlhung are known in Uthossia to be excellent poets and writers of prose. By the same manner, the Tlhung have also developed their own style of story-telling, called the ziungonyngko. Some Tlhung have attained global fame for their contributions to literature, such as prolific poet Tšhuomytšho Mutšhoakguompo, who has written more than 1,200 poems.


Who let Robert Burns make up an ethnic group?

[Kingdom of Lechia]

Poster for “Admiral. It Begins”

I'd like to go to that movie. Seems being epic.

[Black Raven Movement]

The highest peak of Lechia is Rysy (2499 ± 0,05 m.a.s.l.) and the lowest point is located in Marzęcino (2.07 m.b.s.l.). Lechia is administratively divided into 19 voivodeships.

Literal mountain of rizz, by that name.

[The Rio Grande River Basin]

Ukraine, and the broader world at large, has needed a strongman for decades. It was almost brought to head thrice: 1914, 1939, and 1975. The First Great War had almost lead to the greatness of the Kaiser of Germania being bestowed upon a degenerate Entente force. Had it been for God's outright intervention in it, we- no, tradition and order would have won. Yet, we were crushed, forced to accept a fate we did not plead nor prayed for. We were forced to submit to hatred of the old, and pacifistic degeneracy.


Hmmmm. Sounds… familiar.

[Umbratellus]

Currently led by a Senator “Nick Fuentes”, who has been known to make far-right firebrand statements.

Genuinely lol'd when I read that.

Or “Senator Donald Trump”
What about “President Elizabeth Warren and Vice President Mitt Romney”?/skipme

[Portzania]

The empire's capital is the massive Shellworld (Birch World) of Aeternitatis located around the Aeon C supermassive black hole located at the center of the galaxy, housing a growing majority of the nation's total population.

sounds cool as fuck

[The Rio Grande River Basin]

Valiana, and the rest of the royal family were executed in a witch burning fashion, signaling the end of the PortZanian Monarchy. The first soon to be president, Caetano Salamaner, stood on top of the fallen statue of the former monarch and shouted "LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC", bithing the First PortZanian Republic.


Did anyone roast marshmallows?

[Hiyoko]

It was the main grievance of the Zalak.. with over 93% of Zalak people wanting it returned to the Union, and one of the promises that allowed Fgh’Aup’Sarmw to seize power of the Union.

Exploiting ancient grievances, eh? An easy way to power but an incredibly risky one if it forces you to bite more than you possibly chew.

Yeah. Imagine a British politician swept into power on the promise he would declare war on the French and take back Brittany/skipme

[Kingdom of Lechia]

Over 30 million Casualties (Civilian)

*sorry, but it’s still Hiyoko. I/skipme-d there

[Kingdom of Lechia]

Hiyoko is an aristocratic realm in the clouds so one shouldn't be shocked to figure out that it fields thousands, if not millions of cutting-edge drone swarms and multirole stealth fighters, strategic bombers to uphold its complete and exclusive sovereignty over its vast airspace and territory.

Uhhhh...

[The Rio Grande River Basin]

While being surrounded by the conspiracy of the West,
he spat contemptuously at Washington's minions!


This sounds like it would be part of a catchy communist propaganda song misused in every video game ever.

[Stratonesia]

“I crawled across the bridge, and it was sparking. The whole place, god, it was covered in sparks, the lights, the consoles, everything. I had to crawl over parts of my bridge crew, covered in blood, and I was certain I couldn’t feel my legs. Finally, reaching the engineering console, I typed in my command codes. And the words, god, I still remember them. I consigned hundreds to die, in that one moment. I tried to justify it, but to who?
All I said was; “Eject.”

[Rhanukhan]

every Stratonesian kid is given a Stratonesian name, which consists of a given name, a patronymic and a family name.

I liked the way that you presented this whole section - the naming conventions in Rhanukhan have far less effort devoted to them.

[Kingdom of Lechia]

Verang - In the middle ages, remote Verang was feared as a pirate port from which many doughty corsairs sailed out and ravaged the Shramortoghmuli Ocean. These days it is a quiet city, popular as a seaside resort among those citizens looking to indulge in a holiday.

Somalia but with reversed history.

[Portzania]

4. In Lechia, Western goods like McDonald's, Coca-Cola, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix etc. are no longer available

I would think your citizens are much more healthy now

[The Astellian Kingdom]

Same-sex relationships are only recognized if they've served in the military.

That's quite odd
