Post here fun facts about your nation.
The Tudor's still rule over the nation and we still hold some claims on the french throne, and the the king does hold the title of "King of France" BUT its only ceremonial, and rarely used, however Duke of Normandy is still widely used due to the channel islands
-
The U.F.S.A. is the only Fascist nation on earth.
-
King of France
-_-
BUT its only ceremonial
Oh, okay. :D
-
King of France
-_-
BUT its only ceremonial
Oh, okay. :D
its also rarely used,
-
Gran Colombia is home to the safest city in the world: Medellín 0.01 (homicides per 100,000 people) and the most dangerous city in the world: Maracaibo 293.62 (homicides per 100,000 people) Due to Maracaibo's location, it is a prime spot for drug cartels and the government has very little control over the region because of the extremely high levels of corruption in the police force and the local government.
-
The U.F.S.A. has the lowest crime rate in the world, and the world's largest city, New York City at 39 million people(ah alternate history).
-
The King of Bavaria, Wilhelm of Bavaria, is actually 15 years old. Robert of Bavaria, the Prince Regent, leads the nation.
-
Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves is a socialist monarchy.
-
The Dictatorship of the Combined States of Alaska and Canada, has legalised almost all recreational drugs and may or may not have a rehabilitation problem
-
the reason why the House of Lords and the House of Commons are separate is to because New Britannia is under personal union, with its own ability to make laws, this is called the House of Governors because its politicians are called Governors, and its head is Governor General, however they share the house of lords with Britannia
Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Cornwall, and Northumbria (the lands of the historic nation of Northumbria) have their own parliaments, as subdivisions of the Houses of commons, however they must meet in london once a year at least.
-
The Francophone Alliance is technically an alliance of countries instead of a single country. Each region within the Alliance is technically a fully independent nation, but has ceded their government's sovereignty to the Alliance government.
While an interesting technicality, in practice, the Alliance is a single nation.
-
The Lesser German Union is only one nation in foreign affairs, the five member nations all have separate sets of laws and rulers, it is possible, and has in the past, that these member nations go to war with each other, however it is very rare.
-
When calculating how many seats in the Commonwealth Assembly a state gets, the standard formula is 1 district per 100,000 people. However, in California's case (since its high population), the standard is 300,000 people per district
-
Britannia was briefly a republic, during this time, the Tudor family fled to New Britannia and declared it an independent nation, this lead onto the "War of two Britannias" as New Britannia was attacked being a rebellious colony on claims of the Republic, the war ended in favour of the Royalists when turned out that the Lord Protector was dead 2 years after the wars start. This lead onto the creation of the house of Governors and the start of prime ministers.
During the time the following flag and coat of arms where used:

The republic supporters still exist as the Britannia Republican Party, who wish to form the British Commonwealth who use the following symbols:

The Empiric Alliance is actually an Alliance of many countries that rule by themselves with each of their own governments. But all of these countries will unite under a single banner if declared war on and will be lead by a single man and removing all current leaders from their offices until the war is over. It is made up of many different countries hence the word "empiric" from the word "empire" since an empire is made out of different countries, states, and kingdoms ruled by a single supreme authority. But this happens only during war and during peace time all countries have their own governments, laws, and rulers, hence it is an "Empire Alliance" hence making the Alliance called The Empiric Alliance. 8)
Like we said earlier, the alliance is full of many countries not only humans but of Dragons, Aliens, Orcs, Dwarves, and other different things therefore making our military the most diverse mixing Brawn and Brains, Magic and Technology, (you get the point)
Also the populace is infected with an incurable disease(maybe its in our genes/DNA???) called "Berserker Blood" >:( which makes anyone blood-thirsty to kill ANYONE he/she sees, even if it is he's/she's loved one :(. Therefore we are like the city-state of Sparta which trains everyone (including women) for war and a militaristic society and we are obligated to declare war once every 100 years to "quench our thirst" >:( ;D.
(Strangely all of the countries in the alliance are infected with the disease. Must be Transmittable???)

The Prussian State is one of the oldest in Europe, existing in its current state since 1699.
The Prussian economy is one of the most free-market and free-enterprise friendly markets in the world, with private ownership of property and business encouraged. The massively successful economy has allowed the Empire to roll out dozens of social welfare programs, all while keeping taxes at a reasonably low flat rate of 16.5 percent.
Prussia is one of the few remaining modern countries on the planet to retain a First Rate Ship of the Line in active, yet ceremonial, service.
The average income in the Prussian territories is 125,000 Reichmarks (121,000 USD).
Prussia has one of the largest military budgets on the planet, spending 41% of our GDP on the Bundeswehr.
Prussia houses the first commercial Space Agency, has the largest number of satellites in orbit out of any nation on Earth, and takes a keen interest in space exploration.
-
Gran Colombia has the largest oil reserves in the world.
-
Velucian is a large land mass which was once made up of a dozen smaller civilisations. These were conquered in the years of 1856 to 1858 due to the significant increase in military spending.
Although it has waned in recent years, Velucian is still a major contender in the development and manufacture of military technology and is believed to be the only country working on a fully armed orbital bombardment station, albeit its still in early development stages.
The majority of citizens are oppressed by the ruthless police force and have very little say in their own lives.
-
[i think orbital bombardment is prohibited by the rules, it could be considered WMD]
-
[Considering that it directly breaks the UN Outer Space Treaty, i'd say that there's a fairly good chance that it's against the ruels.]

At its current rate, it's estimated completion time is by 2086. It shall be presented to *insert name of Nova Historiae's UN equivalent* as a peacekeeping measure to be impemnted in times of severe war. Think of it as a WMD defence installation that every country will control.
(I wasn't planning to use this in any RP event, just adding a little spice to my space agency as Prussia seems to control most space exploration devices)
Also, the space law treaty says not to place weapons or WMDs in orbit or on celestial bodies but, personally, I believe that as soon space becomes commercialised weapon stations/satellites will become common place. An orbital bombardment satellite will probably be constructed in the future by a superpower anyway under the pretense of peacekeeping.
-
What makes you think Prussia controls all Space Exploration technology?
-
What makes you think Prussia controls all Space Exploration technology?
Never said that Prussia controls all of it. I simply said that Prussia founded the first private aerospace corporation and has the most satellites in orbit of any Nation.

And sayjng something doesn't mean it's necessarily true. Everything anyone says about their own nation can basically be taken by a grain of salt unless it's military invovled. North Korea can say its the best nation of the world but that doesn't mean thst it is. Anything that doesn't have to do with the military is basically worthless :D.

Nah brah alternate history all those companies are in The Dynasty of Esterfort fam. No one claimed them earlier.
-
Then they all would have different names. As Slovak pointed out on the other forum, if I claimed to be George Washington, am I actually him? Hell no. We still have to follow some history points. NYC being the largest city on earth here is different from what you claimed. NYC had the potential to become the largest city back in the 30s. Coca-Cola, however, HQed in China, was not and is still not a reality.
-
In an alternate history anything is possible.

Celatoro was born when Australia took the island the Papua New Guinea and Indonesia shared. Desertification led the newly born Celatoroans to relocate completely to the island, where the made the capital Port Moresby.
-
Belka was once at war with many European nations. In order to protect itself seven nuclear bombs were exploded just inside the modern belkan border to halt the enemies advance. Since then the world has moved to ban all WMD's and the effects can still be felt in the seven southern of the eight regions in Belka bordering Prussia.
[this ties into the origins of my nation into the game it was based off of. I also suppose WMD's r banned here ike most regions, if for some reason they r allowed then I will delete this]
-
Also, the military overthrew the corrupt dictator government that ruled Belka for the last three years, and the military still runs the nation today.
-
We are probably the newest country, we only just formed after the massive environmental changes in Australia made it mildly habitable.
