Your opinion on a interesting fact about the AN (II)

[Eschaton Directive]

So do you use vacuum airships or something like that now?

---

The Eschaton has harvested trillions of sapient minds throughout its long history. While usually kept dormant, it will sometimes create a simulation for these minds to experience so that it can study their behaviour, or help it imitate the behaviours of the species it is interacting with. It is in this way that it might seem to adopt uncharacteristic behaviours more in line with those of the species it is communicating with, but this is simply a facade.

[Bengal and Assam]

That just dropped my opinion of the Atlantis by 100%.

Our Home-world never created Aeroplanes. Due to the industrial popularity of Airships, instead of building airplanes, the majority of industrialists worked harder to make the ships faster, smaller, and tried to improve them so they wouldn't need hot air to work.

The Royal Bengali Self-Defence Forces is one of the most powerful militaries in Asia if nuclear weapons aren't included.It's second only to the Imperial Japanese Army in terms of training and officer discipline.It also has a large inventory of domestically produced TSFs(Tactical Surface Fighter mechs),and Type-90B Tanks.It can occupy India and Burma at the same time,but is constitutionally bound by Article9 of the Bengali Constitution which outlaws the SDF from operating outside the country unless it's for the collective defence of Bengal's allies

[The Great-German Empire]

Amend that out! Quick!

German fighting doctrine relies heavily on air support, with air superiority and constant ground assistance being necessary for the German brand of mobile warfare; Therefore, it is important for German fighters and CAS planes to operate in all conditions. The heavy attack plane Junkers Ju-677, for instance, can operate in a blizzard and take off from a 400-meter strip of gravel.

[Palmyrion]

Palmyrian saboteurs from the JSF will make sure those aircraft won't be able to get off the ground. That is to say nothing of tiered air defense systems ranging from battalion-level CARAM batteries to division-level theater SAM systems.

We're a classic example of a minority rule in action - while sexuals comprise only 10% of our nation's mainland population (the rest being distributed among asexuals, demisexuals, and gray-asexuals), they hold disproportionately immense social, economic, cultural, and political power in Palmyrion.

Do you mean homosexuals or heterosexuals?
Either way, that’s real bad.

The Paradiesinseln Wehrmacht is considering adoption the SAR variant of the Israeli firearm Galil as the standard assault rifle.

"The Israelis make pretty cool weapons.And those weapons are bought by the UN using our money to fight the Islamic Fundementalist threat in the west......"-Defence Minister Yuki Nagoya
"The Middle East sure is a mess...."-King Adit Ryan,replying to Nagoya

In our timeline,the Imperial Japanese reason for going to war,which was to "liberate asia", was pure and honest.This is because of the survival of Taisho Democracy into the Showa Era.Japan went to war because of right-wing parties which were voted into the diet by the people rather than because of right-wing generals as in the real world........

[Oswyn Islands]

That is... beyond stupid. That is completely impossible and could never happen.

The Director-General once streamed a play through of Halo 3 on Twitch.
Yes, I’m being serious.

Heh. I guess everybody needs a hobby.

The High Marshal has, among other things, a very powerful voice, which has a unique rasp due to years of barking orders. He often appears as a guest singer for rock bands and the like, and has already developed a renowned stage persona.

[Dahon]

On the one hand, glad to see this dude getting hip... no, wait, I can't do modern. On the other hand... *cringe*



Of Dahon's three constituent monarchies, only that of Yakumo still chooses to hold a coronation ceremony (an elaborate and deliberately uncomfortable ritual, held in a cramped room in a squat Art Deco building in Sekai since 1976, which can take up to but not more than 8 hours) whenever a new kami succeeds the old one, the two other monarchies having long opted to adopt far less taxing and convenient inauguration ceremonies based on continental European models (and which take up a fourth of the time compared to Yakumo's ceremony) for their purposes.

[Halfblakistan]

Third monarch's a charm?

Although firearm ownership is relatively common in St. Perpetua, only "civilian caliber" firearms are allowed. That includes 12 ga. shotguns and 9mm Short pistols.

[Toraia]

Seems reasonable to me, maybe a little too restrictive, but I can understand what the reasoning behind it would be.

Now that Toraia has emerged from its isolation, it’s becoming increasingly popular for parents to give their babies names that have been adapted from foreign names. Elyzabeta, Amali, and Katarina (Elizabeth, Emily, and Catherine) are shooting up the popularity list for baby girls this year, for instance. Conservatives are a bit alarmed by this phenomenon, some of them believing that it’s a danger to Toraian national identity. They fear that traditional names will fall out of favor, causing Toraia to lose part of its culture.

[-Survivors of Earth-]

Well it is human nature to fear change.

Women in the Cult are forced to give up their virginity to Father Atom since his so called "Seed" is pure and he thinks his children will be pure. As of right now he has 12 kids from each different woman.

[North Curbstompia]

Well, as long as he loves his harem, it's alright.

North Curbstompia takes its tea time very, very seriously.

[-Svenska Riket-]

Wow they must really like tea!

Ever since its founding the Riket makes sure to protect the LGBT community from the anti-LGBT community.

[Galactic Collectivist States]

A good cause: it should be that way.

The UCSR's economy is managed by a series of interconnected quantum super computers and AI, which collectively pool their intelligence and processing power in order to calculate the necessary consumer goods, essentials, and material required to run the economy at optimal efficiency. Almost everything is automated, with only small amounts of human input on the lowest levels (for personal optimization). Economic output per capita easily surpasses even the richest modern states by a thousand magnitudes.

[The Great-German Empire]

You're a whole 1262 years in the future. It's not surprising.

The German Army quite literally doesn't tolerate weakness: people are basically forced to lift, especially if they are not up to certain standards, after the regular bout of PT for the day is done. The reason? German weapons are designed with a soldier with above-average strength to use, with the main service rifle, the full-auto G6, being chambered in full-size 8mm Mauser round, with a 50-round casket mag and a heavy barrel. Carrying around the weapon itself and all of its ammunition, as well as shooting it in fully-automatic mode for cover fire, is exhausting to a normal person; But a German soldier will handle it because boot camp works him hard.

"Dude,that's harsh....."-King Adit Ryan

Speaking of Germany,WW2 in our world was mostly fought in Europe,with the Americans making a Peace Treaty with Japan after Japan occupied LosAngeles for sometime.Germany was also divided in to occupation zones.The Western Zones unified to form the Federal Kingdom of Germany,while the eastern zone formed the German Democratic Republic.The A-Bomb was also dropped on Hamburg

[The Atlantean Islands]

How the Japanese managed to pull that off is beyond me.

During World War 1, the destroyer HAtMS Sukub, a Vampir-class destroyer, disappeared. It was presumed to be sunk, until it was discovered just two days ago, beached in an island off Greenland, in an intact, yet rusting state. We, with the blessing of the Danish government, have yet to launch an investigation into how the destroyer wound up there.

[Oswyn Islands]

Wow. That’s pretty odd but cool.
I wonder how it did wind up there?

Oswyn Islands’ native name, Maérsten, comes from the Old Norse word “Mær”, meaning virgin or maiden. The suffix “-sten” means stone.

This refers to the islands’ verdant, virgin forests but rocky shore.

The "Outer periphery" territories of the Union of Collectivist Solar Republics are comprised largely of recent annexations (as in, last 10-15 years) and run by resident military governments according to UCSR standard law. The harsh integration policies and non-tolerance towards independence movements and dissent make these territories more akin to colonies than anything else, although we'll always deny this.

[The Atlantean Islands]

Nice.

EDIT: AN: Colonialism is bad. Period.

Brexit has further strengthened the already strong trade relations between Atlantis and the UK.

[Eisenhurst]

Okay, do what you do, Britain. (Not that I disapprove of the Atlantean Islands, I just disapprove of Brexit.)

Despite being "a fascist leader", the Mechanical Dictator is in reality a corporatocrat and he is still known for profit-oriented public activities which he has been doing since before his corporate empire became a (small) country.

Most recently, he is featured using a vacuum cleaner in an advertisement from Silbertal Inc., the nation's leading electronics company. What is that advertisement for? A non-sentient AI vacuum cleaner. It is advertised with the slogan "No sentient AI is built to do your chores." -- a blatant AI rights propaganda.

[The Great-German Empire]

That's just funny.

The Emperor has significant constitutional powers, but usually chooses to delegate them to the Chancellor, especially if that position is occupied by someone he trusts. This enables him to do publicity-related things and visit different countries while the Chancellor keeps controlling the country. However, the Emperor must still be present to sign bills into law, and as such can't just take a rest.

[Pilarcraft]

Sounds like a little less constitutional version of your average modern monarchy.

New Libertalia is a pirate republic that controls all of the Caribbean (including Cuba, Haiti, etc. etc.). The Pirate Republic is, apart from being pirates (obviously), anarchic, quasi anti-capitalist (as in anything that is stolen through piracy is divided fairly (as in, each person getting their fair share according to an agreed upon code of conduct) within the people who stole it etc etc.) and one of the most hated regions by the governments world-wide. But nobody's managed to put them down yet, in their 200 years of history. (I'm making a nationstate based on this right now)
