Sushi is my favorite food! A good roll is worth all of the shekels on the Interwebz.




"Why am I a heretic?" you may ask. This is Fuso-proudced guide on hearsay will help explain it in fair and honorable words which you are not allowed to deny under Fuso's judicial systems:

The internet has no monitary currancy nor legal tender. It also lacks any sort of insitution to begin with, much less a banking one. By saying that you are giving me nonexistant internet money of no legal tender or value in exchange for a high quality roll, you are implying that my sushi is shit.

The Emperor of Fuso's favorite food is sushi.
Saying you hate suchi by implying its so worthless upsets da Emparah
Because you have upset the Emperor, you have dishonored him.
Because you are both dishonorable and have gone against the Emperor, you are a heretic.
Because you are a heritic, we must honorably convert you into an honorable honorary Fusan so you may honorable serve and honorably eat our honorable sushi or be honorable purged in the name of our honorably honorable Emparah of honor and honorably convert you with the most honorable methods into believing our honorable lord and honorable savior Moe Waifu Jesus-chan with only honor.

Or will you put on a shamfru dishpray and remain a sushi and Moe Kawaii Waifu Jesus-chan hater? If yes then you shall be purged with extreme honorable prejudice.

I'm going to have to strongly disagree with a population of ~190 million. The primary reasons the PRK's population is so large is because:

A: It's a leader of one of the main factions that seem to be developing.
B: Everyone in the entire world save Avalia would invade it if given a good opportunity, which means that it almost certainly has to be a large power to survive (hence it isn't unbalanced)
B: It's essentially 1/3-1/2 of the industrialized world due to its presence as the remaining top half of the Old Kataylan Empire (as I'm going to call it because historical revisionism), meaning the leftmost continents.
C: Even though it's pretty heavily rural in the interior there's a lot of coastline there, and it's close to the equator unlike the Soviet Union, which is the closest analogue with ~200 million people in 1940. We're at the same latitude, and also like ten times bigger.

That being said, I don't want to discourage your creativity in your nation setup. I'd be perfectly fine with a population of ~100 million, give or take 20, with the aforementioned overpopulation problems and also the disorder that would be present considering the revolution attempt mentioned in your history.

The revolution happened 12 years ago in the PRK for reference, so your current government would have to be younger.

And I forgot to mention that I also now have another ~100 million empire of bloody squid trying to contest my naval superiority, which is Kataylabinsk's thing.

Moravia is only slightly smaller than the PRK with a population of around 250 million, though with large swathes of desert, jungle, and highlands it's surprisingly urbanized. Also worth mentioning is that with a large dwarven population, the number is somewhat skewed. Dwarves (or at least the ones in my nation) basically age only half as fast as most humans. They're also bigger than humans in terms of weight and sometimes even height.

@Hael

The Commonwealth isn't socialist in the sense that you're thinking; it has something of a plutocratic oligarchy that hold most of the political weight in the National Party (read: Fascist Party). Any move to become blatantly socialist would both rub against this oligarchy and get you accused of being a Communist, so naturally it wouldn't fly.

They do restrict a lot of imports and have goals of economic independence, and there may be a few state-owned corporations for transportation, utilities, weapon research and production, etc. But beyond that it's all free market.

The main reason that I describe the Commonwealth as a fascist state is because it's extremely nationalist and a dictatorship. There are elections, but aside from the National Party there are just a few minor coalition parties allowed to exist. No opposing parties or candidates are allowed, and nepotism is almost a requirement to receive a high office.

It's cool that I'm back, right? You don't have some secret agenda against me rejoining the RP?

Although there isn't a character sheet up yet, I expect relations with KalMea will be rather bad due to the fact that KalMea appears to be "devoted to their religion."


What I said to Cyclone earlier was mainly joking exaggeration: while KalMea is super-double-mega religious, they are rarely the sort to jump into a war or cause a war intentionally. That being said, if you strike first, they will gladly burn you at a stake in the name of Kal.

KalMea was sort of the "shady arms dealer" of the original RP. It had under-the-table deals with Willy's Elves, more open weapons sales with Cyclone's nation, and was desperately trying to secure positive, trade-friendly relations with the other nations.

Chances are that if you hate KalMea, they'll just shrug, call you a filthy heathen, and try to sell you a bomb

In that case I suspect our relations with KalMea will be cordial. I am more than willing to buy these bombs.

PM to Voltus is the fastest way, I think.

Yeah, you really can't say that the nation with child labor isn't capitalist enough.

Child labor was pretty common during the age of industrial revolution. It's actually a fairly believable thing that there are no child labor laws in some countries in this setting.

KalMea probably won't have any child labour laws, either. The Kallab mindset is: if you don't work, you don't eat.

Alright so, Cyclone and I have created a new piece of history.

As of now, the reason the Gnomes fled their original island homeland in the south-west is because my naga went and invaded it two centuries ago.



As such, here is the new map of the world with the gnomish homeland part of the Ceresian Empire. Currently speaking the Gnomish population is aiming for a free gnomish state (a la Israel).

Just FYI, you're surrounded mostly by colonies over there. That place is essentially the Africa of this world.

Granted, your nation could still be industrialized and powerful by this time a la the United States, but you'd be pretty detached from a lot of history and interaction from the nations on the other side of the world.

That's exactly what I want, Cyclone

You'll see. I want to have only a little history with other nations.

Louis Dabout's nation might fill that niche, though we haven't seen him around lately.
