What is the saddest thing about AN?

Postby DDR 90 » Mon Oct 14, 2024 7:21 pm

Should be a self-explanatory thread, what is the saddest thing about AN? It could be an aspect of the nation or a moment in time in both the nation's history and character's life. What's the depressing and melancholic quality of AN?

While a lot of "transitory" Communist states and fallen Empires do give off this vibe, I think DDR 90 does it best - the bitterness of defeat. I am not going to pretend like the IRL DDR was a good state, far from it. But maybe it's just the portrayal of desperately trying to avoid decay, but DDR 90 does not feel like "oh well, communism failed, now time to become neoliberals." It feels, even in its highs, like a state under an ideology that was promised the world but ended with austerity measures and political chaos.

It's honestly quite sad.

A lot of war has taken place in this nation.

Saddest things?
Probably the slavery policy, maybe this slavery policy contributed to the amount of work-related deaths. And also I’ve always found the Suicide while in policy custody to be rather sad.

Nice to see someone else utilizing Google Slides. Am actually in the process of transferring my factbooks over to there.

I think the fact that Harvey Specter had to move to South Africa, change his identity, and become a slimy politician is a bit sad. I also find it sad that there does not appear to be much native representation there.

I think the saddest thing is the amount of military factbooks. Makes the nation feel like it's just one big meat grinder. Churning out bodies for an endless war, for endless bloodshed.

The saddest thing about AN is that 2 of the 3 main freedoms are outlawed.

I'll say the saddest thing, according to the listed post, is the lack of adequate public infrastructure such as trains and highways.
