What have you learnt after reading the AN’s factbooks? II

by **Destructive Government Economic System** » Fri Oct 26, 2018 5:38 pm

Original thread is about to hit 500 pages. I'm gonna snipe the chance to make a re-iteration but leave the original OP as is:

It can be something as simple as ‘They are really powerful’ to a very complicated summary of about four lines long. Example:

Nation A:
I have learnt that their territory consists of about 2/3 of Eurasia.

Nation B:
I have learnt that their military is advanced.

Nation C:
I have learnt that they own two planets and that they have two capital cities for each planet.

No one above me, let’s start.

I have learned that the User Control Panel has factbooks, but they're completely invisible and unable to be accessed. Scary? No... much more than that.

They use electric guitar in their military marches alongside the traditional drums and horns.

they take up about half the world

They were founded by a dutch pirate who left 96 sick people to fend for themselves after everyone else left because it was too cold

The vice president has a stapler for a head...yikes.

Their language must be complex because they still can't describe it to me

they have a privatized military

Their king inherited his position and has kept their country in peace for over 20 years. Recently however he has given up his pacifist ways for a more nationalist (common sense) defense policy. Also, he looks homeless.

This is the second volume of the thread of the same name.
Like the previous thread, the rule is pretty simple. You read some of the AN’s factbooks and then summarise what you have discovered or learnt from what you had just read onto this topic. It can be something as simple as ‘They are really powerful’ to a very complicated summary of about four lines long. Of course, it is preferable not to copy and paste one sentence from one of your AN's factbooks, but you do you.

Example:

Nation A wrote:I have learnt that their territory consists of about 2/3 of Eurasia.

Nation B wrote:I have learnt that their military is advanced.

et. al

Nobody above me, but the last person to respond in the previous thread is Anglomir if you want to respond to them instead.

"It is obvious that if a candidate to the throne does not bear the unhyphened name of 'von Berun', either by marriage, by birth, or by adoption, they are automatically disqualified from taking the throne."

I looked at the population density map, and figured it out.

The amount of history they have is absolutely insane, in a good way! Going back as far as 780,000 years, that's dedication.

(Meanwhile I can't even do a ROUGH timeline of my history.

Not a "candidate"
IF someone's on the line of succession (i.e. there's no need for a race to the throne), but doesn't have an unhyphened "von Berun" (or similar title, "Bruan", "van Bruan", "van Berun", etc. may also work) they get disqualified. Johann (current emperor) isn't even blood related to the House of Berun

That apparently Mark III Clarissa's weight is 2650 KG... That is a lot, mate. Of course, she is also tall as well, but still...

I learnt that they control the earth

by **Silver Commonwealth** » Sat Oct 27, 2018 8:29 am

And I learnt, that one of their peace treaty terms was putting Latvia as a satellite state...

They have this 'thing' called internet & a supercomputer???

They have... nothing of interest, sadly.

The fact that they are established more than 500 years ago, and... they have 69 million people. I'm too immature, sorry.

Cloning an extinct species just for a meal... well, I know how to sell ideas to your people! Just tell them that the T-rex is edible, and let them revive it.
