Favorite line from AN's Factbooks II

[Uthossia]

Part I
Those, who want to sing the anthem, blindfold each other somehow (normally not themselves) or close their eyes, if no blindfold is available.

First sentence in and I could already tell it's one of the most unique concepts I've ever seen

[Continental Free States]

The Thaidals (Uthossian: Tađalut) comprise the majority of Uthossians, making up ~45% of the country's total population. [...] The Thaidals speak Uthossian, the country's primary national language and lingua franca.

I wonder why the language isn't named after them the way Spanish is technically Castilian

[Telbnis]

besunderly its flytugdrawers which let it have inflow anywhere on thetungle

[Hiyoko]

Minister of Defence- Kirsten Fornes Age- 35- Sex- Female Region- Northern... Minister of Diplomacy- Roba Strikt Age- 35- Sex- Female Region- Central...

Huh, most of your ministers are in the middle of their thirties. Nice to see a relatively young cabinet advising a nation's leader.

[The Rio Grande River Basin]

“Next stop, innovations! Hiyoko's competitive advantage in the innovation economy notably relies on a robust patent system which levels the playing field between aspiring inventors whose key asset is their scientific achievements, and large established firms whose scale and scope are difficult to compete with.”

Would be a shame if someone patented everything…

[Hiyoko]

Fastest way to get assassinated, either by mercenaries sent by the large established firms or by invoking the Director General's wrath since she absolutely despises monopolistic behavior.

[Mammoth city]

Born into this world from an experimental ritual.

[Reich of the New World Order]

The Republic of Mammoth City is a large multi ethnic empire encompassing modern day southeast Norway, southern Sweden, Chekia Slovakia, east and central Poland, Germany, the Benelux nations, Switzerland, Denmark, and Austria

How the nation hasn't collapsed is a mystery.

[Hiyoko]

I dont recall him being very open about his past all i know is he was the only child of a poor miner somewhere in the Retorshu system and he is a violent maniac with a lust for blood so high he makes vampires look tame in comparison.

To the normal folks this sentence probably sounds menacing. But, I as someone who knew an acquaintance who simply joined the CAF to kill people. Its not that crazy.

[The Rio Grande River Basin]

Hiyoko utilizes a centralized digital currency called the 'Yuno' which gives the economists inside the Valkyrie Council direct access to an incalculable sum of data in real time leading to adaptive economic policies time and time again.


Oh no the valkyries have learnt of crypto

[Sangvia]

Approx. 120 km long, 34 km wide, 40 km tall.

I wonder what crew life is like on a ship that massive.

[The Destructors]

Fervent in their beliefs, they have declared war on the entire world, wanting to claim everything for the Yellow Sign.

They'll repair the SHIT out of your reputation...

[Black Raven Movement]

Due to the vagaries of probability in an infinity-of-infinities, the Death Spectres managed to remain a 'distant legend' to the majority of the Multiverse-Traveling community. Still, in such an issue where a nation that dominates thousands upon thousands of universes barely counts as a blip, whispers swiftly emerged of what was known as the 'Oncoming Scourge', for lack of a better term. The Death Spectres had no concept of their own racial identity, and any kind of communication with them was as confusing as it was short. Muddying waters about their identity was a somewhat morbidly amusing quirk of their neurology: Their capacity towards speech was itinerant at best, and they relied primarily on certain easily-remembered quotes to get something resembling their point across.

my brain reading this

[Mammoth city]

”QUOTE HERE.”

[Hiyoko]

Republic of Mammoth City is a large multi ethnic empire encompassing modern day southeast Norway, southern Sweden, Chekia Slovakia, East and Central Poland, Germany, Benelux states, Switzerland, Denmark, and Austria.

Straight to the point with no fluff nor justification of how it came to be much to the agony of the foreigner, absolute sigma right here folks! I like it actually.

[The Great Basin Kingdom]

As one wise man said, expecting life to be fair is a dead end.

This particular formulation is new to me, the "dead end" bit. It gives the adage a blunter edge than I expect an adage to usually have, which is fitting with the general mood of Hiyoko's factbooks. Pretty cool.

[Kingdom of Lechia]

If Basinite farmers want to live in an alkaline scrubland, and if Basinite preachers want to rage about modern Babylons, and if Basinite women want to marry each other in 'biblical polygamy,' then who is Grant to stop them?

Biblical polygamy... Some time ago I also did some research about polygamy in Bible.

[Rhanukhan]

The development of the Lechitic economy is also influenced by the fact that prisons are de facto penal labor camps (but recognized as ones of the most humane labor camps in the world despite the fact that Lechia is commonly labeled as a totalitarian state that violates human rights) where the imprisoned do various jobs, e.g. in mining, industry, construction, agriculture etc.

Ah, much like the sentences of "enforced usefulness" here in Rhanukhan - His Resplendence, the Supreme Chairman approves!

[Victorian Prussia]

As expected, the Wyrm emerges onto the bridge, but as it approaches, Lucy-of-the-Arms begins to play.

i was skimming through the factbook and saw this, i have no idea what it means

[The Wizards University]

"policies: abolishment of the government"
finally, a candidate you can count on

[Continental Free States]

Victoria was crowned queen of Prussia, she established a new nation ideology Victorianism, a form of nationalism that said that prussia is the greatest nation ever.

simple, elegant. but why crown herself queen

[Kingdom of Lechia]

The Kurds came to fight back and the Babylonish Burghercrig began in 2003. By 2009, the crig had ended and Shahin had tostevened to a status quo frith that forbade him from seeking to wipe out the Kurds again. Steadiness came back to Babylon and they only began withbuilding from years of crig and tostoering.

At last, Shahin died of a stroke in 2021 and his so-called diadochi -officers each commanding a corps of the Babylonish Heere- nearly came to crig over who should nighfollow him.

Translation: The Kurds started another uprising and in 2003 in Iraq, there was a civil war instead of American invasion. The civil war ended in 2009 and Saddam Hussein made an agreement with the Kurds, so he doesn't seek to wipe them out again. But the conflict flared up again in Iraq.

The Mesopotamian funny moustache man finally went to sleep forever in 2021 (not that long ago and over 15 years later than irl! ) because of a stroke and there was another civil war between Iraqi officers-warlords to be the successor of the moustache man.

[The Cordyceps Brain Infection]

The Kingdom of Lechia was founded in 2026, after the two-year brutal civil war in Poland, fought mainly by the United People, the Silesian separatists, the communist Revolutionary Front, the far-right Confederation Liberty And Independence and the Union of Anarchy against the preceding Polish democratic government
