It is set in an alternate history world which may or may not be Earth, involving the destuction and then re-formation of Prussia, France being really ethnicist, and Hitler never coming to power. It shares that world with other NS nations, such as the Kerkhavian Cossacks, Doslonsu and Efilin. Also, it worships a goddess of war.

i find it kind of interesting that rather than becoming a remnant of the russian monarchy after 1917, they instead declared themselves as an independent republic, while also explicitly being sympathetic to the whites and providing refuge to them and to the tsar himself. makes me wonder whether the decision to be independent or to be the last holdout of imperial russia was yet another episode of their national identity crisis

Apparently, the standard sidearm is a revolver. Kinda different and strange to see as a standard. They also have probably the smallest number of personnel for their armed forces I've seen in any NS, with only 25600 in the army, 9500 in the navy, and 10500 in the air force.

Their world has apparently seen joint resurgences of both state-enforced atheism and theocratic rule, making them one of the only places left with mostly free policies regarding all faiths. This, despite enriching local diversity, has also led to climbing religious tensions.

They utilize combat simulations that include (dramatized) historical events like the Vietnam War and WW2/3. Which I find interesting because, while I don't know if this was intentional, it implies a kind of soft prodding or propaganda for soldiers. While these are usually reserved for elite units, it feels almost like the message is "The war we fight is just as important, if not more important, than World War Two, Anchorage, and Vietnam" - major wars that defined whole eras of American history. If that is an intentional design, it's unironically splendid.

(Hate to :nerd: but Vichy French troops were not present in Normandy. There were allied Free French troops, but no Vichy Axis units.)

That their flag does not really resemble their beliefs that much, they are a theocracy with some liberties (constitutional theocracy) and that they are also across all planets with a developed time and whole other time and days system for different planets and species.

The secretary of education for their nation apparently had an accident in her hometown that caused her to have to undergo surgeries and psychological and physical therapy. After she recovered, she surprisingly was able to join the army, serving as a communications expert. Her personality changed (I think from the way this is written?) and she became more stern and resolute after serving in the army.

Aonaria is placed in islands close to Canada. Their summer is cool and their winter is mild. The Islanders seem to be proud of their political and economic independence. They like choosing their political representatives and regarding their constitution. Their factobook could tell more about how Aonarian Haida peoples. Hope they are well.

I learned that there is a language called Haida and that there are dictionaries with the meaning of the words of this language.

Their defense forces serve not only to deal with piracy & foreign hostility, but also invasive flora and (interestingly) the production of vaccines.

And they apparently replaced their jets with paper planes. M.I.A. salutes you.

There exists a small minority of people who worship Nordic gods in Sliabh Grianas. This is due to a stray colony of vikings in 756 introducing the worship of Norse mythology to the nation.

the manufacturing process of nikkes goes to great lengths to ensure they resemble baseline humans as closely as possible. they also have hard psychological limiters on their ability to harm humans, but some of them have those deliberately removed, which i think is pretty cool. reminds me of dune's "twisted" mentats, and i imagine theyre employed by similarly unscrupulous organisations
