Favorite line from AN's Factbooks II

[The Great Basin Kingdom]

Set the stage for the play... and perform. She left the old, abandoned cathedral, walking towards her next goal. This nation shall become hers. This nation shall become the Master's... then... the whole world. All shall be united under the Yellow Sign. For Eternity.

To those only just now tuning in, don't worry; Camila's ensnaring of Sangvia's hearts and minds was only a dress rehearsal. You're just in time for the feature presentation: war against the world for the Queen in Yellow.

Or more simply: chilling stuff!

Since I'm claiming multiple nations, multiple militaries, and multiple military doctrines; I'd rather throw them all out and start fresh. Combining these militaries would give me far more troops then I need or want, and a weird mix of weapons and equipment.

I see we're going for a stew of militaries huh

[Cornish National Liberation Army]

逃げるんだよ ! (RUN AWAY!)

I mean, true. Effective tactic, especially if you combine it with scorched earth. Just remember you might fall short of land to retreat from. An invading army is just as dangerous and fairly more difficult to invade than some Aztec fitness gods.

[Stratonesia]

They've even started making their own model submachine gun, the LinkZP-92, from spare parts from other guns. How resourceful.

[Continental Free States]

Most will either just surrender or flee once they're outnumbered, and the others will most likely snort a ton of PCP and get themselves killed or arrested rushing at a SWAT team with a katana or a machete.

AN:

The factbook does not use the common "wiki" format (in fact, that may be the case for future factbooks), because I decided that all my dispatches would use different design, and different format — so that each dispatch would have an identity of its own.

A W to be sure, but one I can't replicate nor agree with smh

John Brown begins the Bloodletting in Leavenworth

Imagine John Brown just setting up shop in Leavenworth and just cutting people's veins open rather than starting a full scale slave revolt...

[Cornish National Liberation Army]

Despite being recognised as a state-wide language, Korean, and Cantonese is on it's track, or is already a de facto widely used language in Apanalua, and is often included amongst the ranks of the Nuiloa languages. However, they are considered as a part of the Extended Nuiloa Languages, a group of 15 most used languages in Apanalua which includes: English, Chinese, Japanese, Namo-Moegapepean, French, Korean, Okinawan, Arpitan, Namokan, Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur, Corsican, Alsatian German, and Hawaiian

Wow, Alsatian German and Corsican? I can understand the Alsatians because Germany had colonies there, but Corsican? What, did Napoleon himself decide to drop by and say hello? Nothing against them, I'm just surprised. Truly a rainbow nation that South Africa would be jealous of.

[Rhanukhan]

Some symbols of Apanaluan culture include the dance of Fuimu, where the participants duel each other with burning weapons, originating as a leisurely activity that would serve as training and a test of bravery, concentration and endurance for Apanalua's soldiers which takes influence from Ailao Afi (Samoan fire knife dance), Chinese sword dances, Japanese kendo, and in some ways: Fencing.

Nightclubs are more like nightmareclubs in AAN.

The main income of the CNLA is made from [...] and a percentage of earnings made from a bakery in Plymouth owned by Wurgent's mother Wendy and his sister Chloe. They make very good chicken pies.

Evidence of a truly world-beating economy!

I don't think I've seen you before - I did enjoy the concept behind your nation.

[Kingdom of Lechia]

the State Banner has proudly flown over the country since the reign of Domina Joan "the Bloody"

What a title

[Tummylandia and Susistan]

The new king of Lechia, Borzywoj introduced brutal terror and introduced new strict laws limiting the personal life of Lechites already in the first years of his rule.

If Lechia was real, this would be 900% in it's wow_mao video.

BN. Please ignore the lorem ipsum in my factbooks. It's because there are funnier parts in it than the lorem ipsum.

[Scytharum]

From Ronwa Mafia:

Sainte Jeanne gets their phone "911, 123 Whatever St-" before getting shot by Scallinskia "Scallinskia, did you bring a gun?" Vastlands asked "Not exactly, it's a knife gun."

This has me laughing pretty hard, I can't tell if the street is actually called "Whatever Street" or if Jeanne was so extremely bored while calling 911 that she just mumbled/forgot the street name. Also, the knife gun is a funny twist. It feels like a spoof of an action movie, like the knife gun line feels like an action movie one-liner parody. This was a difficult choice, since a lot of that factbook and the others was overall pretty funny, but good job on all of it. This just stuck out to me as an extraordinarily funny line.

Isn't Sheizou the land of the dead, its strange that a dead person can die in the land of the dead.

eh, sheizou is the nation around the underworld, the gates of it. Dead in this context is being dragged down to the underworld never to be seen again, might as well be dead, considering we don't know what happens to them. I should word that better.

“ The first of the four main seats of the United States Cabinet is the President, who is Donald John Trump of the Republican Party. He was selected as the Presidential Candidate for the 2020 Elections by the Republican Party after the 2018 Midterms. His position as President is to oversee the United States as the Head of State and Head of Government. The United States President has authority over the executive branch, and is the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces. The Presidential seat has a significant amount of hard and soft power due to economic and military influence playing into the position's favor. The Presidential seat gained the fame and infamy it received during the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, where the Legislative Cessation Act was signed, nullifying the powers of the legislature. In this frame, Roosevelt put forward an expansion of presidential power into a larger and far more empowered executive branch, before ceding power back to the legislature. As of Amendment 21 (Dat. 1972) of Article II of the Constitution, the United States President has immense power vested onto them, alongside the capability of being given power via the LCA.
The second of the four main seats of the United States Cabinet is the Vice President, who is Randall Kennedy Dugan of the Falangist Party. He was elected as the Vice-Presidential Candidate for the 2020 Elections by the Falangist Party after the 2018 Midterms. His position as the Vice-President is to serve as an Officer in the Legislative Branch, act as a President of the Senate, and serve as an impeding obstacle to subversive elements as defined by Amendment 18 (Dat. 1934) of Article II of the Constitution. The modern Vice-President serves as a representative of the party coalition within the United States Cabinet between the two majority parties, a de facto diarch in the LCA, and acting as the Supervisor of the United States Office for All-Domain Anomaly Affairs - a position tacked on in 2014 with the creation of the OADAA. Historically, the Vice President was an afterthought. That perception was thrown away when the position grew in power with Vice President Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera on FDR's ticket in the 1940s.
The third of the four main seats of the United States Cabinet is the Secretary of State, who is Michael Andrew Suslov of the Communist Party. He was elected as the Secretary of State Candidate for the 2020 Elections by the Communist Party after the 2018 Midterms. His position as the Secretary of State is to oversee the United States' Foreign Policy and Intelligence, handle matters related to the American Homeland Legion, and serve as a moderator alongside the President pro Tempore for the Cabinet. Historically, the Secretary of State only handled Foreign Policy and Immigration, however with William Leahy's ascendancy to the seat in 1944, the seat has expanded to include the Legion. Then, in 1948, with Arvo Kustaa Halberg's ascendancy to the position of Secretary of State, he tied the position to the Central Intelligence Agency, with the Secretary of State acting as a supervisor to the CIA Director. The Secretary of State is viewed with mystery due to the obscurity of their activities.
The fourth of the four main seats of the United States Cabinet is the President pro Tempore, who is John Forbes Kerry of the Democratic Party. He was elected as the President pro Tempore Candidate for the 2020 Elections by the Democratic Party after the 2018 Midterms. His position as the President pro Tempore is to act as a moderator alongside the Secretary of State, serve as the representative of the Senate in the absence of the Vice President, and manage the National Security Agency as an advisor. Previously, the President pro Tempore was only connected to the Senate, however when Julius Robert Oppenheimer of the CPUSA ascended in 1944, he tied the position to Cabinet moderator, and when Robert Francis Kennedy of the Falangist Party ascended to the position in 1956, he tacked the National Security Agency to the position with the blessing of the other members of the Cabinet. The Secretary of State position has ties to Royalty in pro-US monarchist nations such as Japan, Monaco, and Sealand.”




All of this is just hilarious levels of “wat.”

Trump, Dugan, Suslov, and Kerry in one cabinet…
Donald Trump, a Falangist, a Communist and John Kerry run a government sounds like the start to a joke.

Mercurius is a rocket designed with neoclassic architecture ,it has the ability to fire burning sticks,sort of an early form of kinetic missiles,it can be seen as a dim flare in the sky,and its also powered by a special golden gunpowder that was used for its takeoff,one gram of this special gunpowder can briefly lift an entire kilogram

probably one of the weirdest weapons ive read about

The Master's name is indescribable.
To understand the Master's name, you must learn its nine parts.

To understand the Master's name, you must know the pain of eternity.

To understand the Master's name, only ----- knows the truth.

To understand the Master's name, accept that choices are meaningless.

To understand the Master's name, learn to follow guidance.

To understand the Master's name, realize that reincarnation is inevitable.

In the Pleiades among the Carcosa cluster, the Master slumbers, waiting until his name is revealed.

The hundreds of millions of names which the Master possesses can be revealed, in time.
An eternity of effort and will must be put forward.

And after hundreds of millions of days...

The Master's name will be revealed.

The Master's Name is [Redacted]. Saved you a lot of trouble

For one, the CM_ is NOT a crystal, it is what is known as a polyelectronic solidified chemical (PSC), which can transport matter into the digital word!

As a fan of the "TRON" franchise, might I extend my hearty approval (I'm assuming that the "word" is a typo and should read, "world")
