✌️✌️ Fact of the day for your nation.

[Quadraginta]

My nation is the only nation in the entire world to use ARA-Meek, an anomaly resolution system for Meek STV. I’ll provide a paper explaining how it works later, but essentially it searches for alternative elimination pathways when a non-monotonic result is detected and selects the one that both resolves the anomaly and is most favored by a borda-style utility misrepresentation equation.

[Vesperelle]

Upon touring a newly opened government building, Prince Lysander VII remarked about how having too many employees crammed into bland open-offices is akin to treating employees like cattle, which is "unglamorous" and "ruins the vibe" and "probably means people won't have energy to party after"

The public service of Vesperelle has decided to cancel some office leases. Public servant satisfaction surveys show a large uptick in morale from being supported by their Sovereign.

[Pinesap Island]

The official musical instrument of Pinesap Island, the Squeeze Sack-o-phone (a hybrid accordian-bagpipe-saxophone), was used to compose the Colony of Pinesap Island Anthem on this day, 157 years ago, by Ludwig Angus Coltrane, lyrics by Hugh Dimlight.

There are 16 verses, but nobody ever sings them - most don't even know they exist. Everyone just goes straight to the chorus, and will repeat it until they get tired or bored. The chorus:

"O' Pinesap Island, we love thee,
Flowing sap from every tree,
Its Amber hue shines so lovely,
I yearn for some to stick to me,
Trapped in this Land for Eternity!"

As of 2040, Huaxia has currently around 976,357,617 motor vehicles on the road and 527 motor vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants. All commercial and privately-owned motor vehicles in Huaxia are entirely new energy vehicles including battery electric vehicles (BEVs), extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Despite the massive amounts of privately-owned motor vehicles in the country, most Huaxians use trains and buses for daily commute, although rural folks in the countryside tend to use privately-owned motor vehicles more for daily commute instead.

[The Remote Islands]

[Los Terrenos Boscosos de Tandingan]

Robotic Brain Implements are one of the top sales in LTBT, and one of the primary reasons of the country's high intelectual standard. These were invented hundreds of years ago, around the start of the XXXI Century, but were not broadly used until ~10 years ago, as their secondary effects and health risks made them impossible to sell.

The Chinese languages give a distinct cognitive advantage in mental math compared to other language groups due to its highly-efficient structure of vocabulary. This is due to a highly logical, base-10 number naming system and significantly shorter, monosyllabic number words. Numbers are named exactly as they are calculated. For example, 11 is "ten-one" (十一, shí yī), and 21 is "two-ten-one" (二十一, èr shí yī). This makes concepts like place-value intuitive and easy to manipulate. Chinese number words are extremely brief and monosyllabic. People can recite a longer string of numbers in their working memory (the "auditory loop") because they can say the digits in half the time it takes in any other languages such as English. Multiplication sentences take fewer syllables to say, speeding up the recitation of times tables. For example, "three times four equals twelve" takes 7 syllables in English, but only 4 in Chinese. Of course, Chinese languages are renowned for being more logical when compared to something like English. Unsurprisingly, Huaxians absolutely dominate in mathematics, even a young primary school student from Huaxia could out-calculate a fully-grown western adult. The Nationwide Unified Examination for Admissions to General Universities and Colleges (Gaokao) entrance exam is widely-known for being the most difficult of its kind on Earth, with its math questions designed to distinguish people who really know mathematics down to its base core (how mathematics is taught in Huaxia) from people who just mechanically apply formulas only (how it's taught in other nations). Huaxia's high-quality rigorous education system ensures that students are taught the skills necessary to calculate numbers efficiently and accurately, no matter how large the numbers are.

During the creation of the Amethyst 17 nuclear bomb in 2091, the lead mechanic for the bomb, Nathan S. Pullman wrote on a part of the outer shell in white marker “Pullman was here.” This was a reference to the famous American WW2 icon “Kilroy was here.” After the bomb was dropped over Edinburgh, the only part of the bomb found was the words “Pullman was here.” Engineers speculate that that chunk of metal was shot of the bomb after its detonation, as it was found 12 miles away from the nuclear strike. “Pullman was here” is now a famous decal for Gandinian spacecraft, with it even on one of the wings of the Gandinian President’s Shuttle. The chunk of metal from the bomb is now on display at the Gandinian History Museum in Landingtonshire.

Thanks to a highly-efficient system of law & order, along with immense poverty-alleviation and a policy of fighting the source of crime by eliminating poverty itself and providing safety nets via social security, widespread welfare based on the needs of each individual, and vocational education in order to easily get employment, the current homicide rate per 100,000 inhabitants in Huaxia is only around 0.069, which is extremely-low for what is effectively the world's most populous nation. As a result, Huaxia has a civilian police force that is lightly armed, but at the same time also have a heavily-militarized gendarmerie that's more heavily-armed than any other gendarmeries worldwide.

The People's Police, being a civilian police force, is lightly armed, with cops on the beat commonly either armed with a small 9mm revolver such as the NRP9 police revolver or carrying only non-lethal weaponry such as a taser. Meanwhile, police tactical units in the form of SWAT units (特警; literally "special police") are more heavily-armed than ordinary cops, armed with various firearms ranging from shotguns to SMGs to rifles.

An undercover tactical detective from the Hefei Municipal Public Security Bureau aiming her Jianshe JSHG-19B3Micro 10.2×33mm blowback-operated subcompact semi-automatic pistol at a wanted fugitive near Swan Lake CBD in Shushan District, Hefei, Anhui Province on December 11, 2040.

An officer from the Hubei Provincial State Security Department firing her Zijiang CSMG-11A 6.31×25mm short-stroke gas-operated submachine gun during a CQB drill at an indoor firing range in Huarong District, Ezhou, Hubei Province on May 23, 2037.

The People's Armed Police, being a heavily-militarized gendarmerie, is outfitted with heavy military weaponry for counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency. In fact, the PAP commonly use armored vehicles, including second-hand surplus from the National People's Armed Forces such as infantry mobility vehicles, armored personnel carriers and main battle tanks, in order to deal with heavily-armed terrorists and insurgents. The PAP also has a secondary role of providing support to the National People's Armed Forces during wartime. Aside from all that, ordinary gendarmes on the beat can be commonly seen carrying assault rifles, SMGs, and shotguns in public.

A gendarme from the 2nd Mobile Detachment of the 14th Mobile Corps, People's Armed Police aiming his Fangxu FSR-3-9.52LB 9.52×82mm bolt-action sniper rifle during a large-scale hunt on Waren-ethnonationalists at a slum in the city of Chuanqi in Riben Special Administrative Region on June 8, 2039.

A gendarme from the Lanzhou 1st Detachment of the Gansu Provincial Corps, People's Armed Police aiming her Yufei Haoxin YH-37C 12.72×40mmRB short-recoil operated semi-automatic pistol during a counter-terrorism exercise in Anning District, Lanzhou, Gansu Province on September 27, 2044.

[Shangtianhua]

In Huaxia, prank calling is usually considered as an act of hooliganism and is commonly punished through administrative detention by spending a few days at an administrative detention center (jail) located within a public security station. It's not seen as a serious crime but more so a misdemeanor. Now, SWATing on the other hand, that's enough to land you in prison instead.
