AN Loading Screen Tips

Postby Insulamia » Mon Feb 27, 2023 5:10 am

Inspired by AN's loading screen by Great United States and, to an extent, AN Video Game Achievements by Karazicu.

So, say you were on a loading screen, about to spawn into the Above Nation (AN) or a game set in the AN. What tips/tricks/secrets does the loading screen reveal to you?

Please at least skim over some of the AN's factbooks and come up with something at least slightly thoughtful and considerate of the AN's lore. Feel free, of course, to go above and beyond; multiple tips would be even more helpful!

Let's start. For the User Control Panel's loading screen:
The character limit for signatures is 800 characters. However, this only includes visible characters, not formatting.
Nations in your 'Friends' list will be highlighted when online.
Be sure to consider both dark mode and light mode users when designing your signature.

You must seek a compromise that will make both the zapatistas and conservative mps happy, so don’t side with one side or the other, unless you want a worker’s revolt or civil war

lol why are you still talking about the zapatistas? they are literally not a part of insulamian politics at all; they're a militant group that controls a small area of mexico... insulamia's primeminister just so happened to comment on them (he doesn't just have to talk about things happening in the nation, y'know!)
anyways, /skipme still.

"The summers can prove to be harsh on the island where temperatures tend to soar up to 35°C, while in the south temperatures can go up to 37°C, and 38°C in the southeast. Which is why to make sure you are wearing the proper clothes to combat the weather."
I'm here to procrastinate just like many of you probably.

The most dangerous thing you encounter will likely be the environment. Prepare accordingly before departing for the mountainous zones

If we are doing military comparisons, I have different tech levels, so just match whatever your nation is to the appropriate level. If you are PT, imagine a set redneck guerilla warbands fighting so that their families aren't wiped out by famine and raiders. My goal in this is to be able to line myself up against any nations (along their timeline and tech level) whether they are based in 1974 or 80859. As such the numbers from PMT on are a bit soft. Those looking at our culture are stuck with MT timeline.

If in doubt, ask someone. Nova Universans are generally forthcoming and helpful.
Be mindful of cleanliness. The City is a hotspot for infectious tropical diseases.
Don't walk into the forest alone. Hire a registered guide before visiting the jungle.
Don't be shocked of nude people in the City's parks. It is normal and allowed by local laws.
The City's gas network is leaky. If you smell gas, run away very quickly and call the firemen.

Australia buys submarines to counter enemy powers.

Choosing a Multiversal race will give you a -75% penalty to others' opinion of you. When in doubt, pick Human.

Don't get tired from Boldonia's constant elections.

Never mention the Brasilistani.


Nova Universo:
Esperanto is one of the nation's largest languages. Make sure to at least know a few words, like "saluton" and such.

Give the otters a few snacks. They're hungry too.

Try out some local cuisine to fulfill your hunger.
