Operation Paperclip

United States of Aurelia (Zeronet)

Regional Power

Homeland: Including the geography, climate and location on the world's continents.

Government Type: Democracy, constitutional monarchy, lifelong appointment by the politburo? In this era, the significant thing to note is electoral cycle: how often do you have elections?

Ideological Landscape: What is the ideology of the country? Who rules the country is important, but who also is the opposition? Ideological division provides a flexibility that a political monoculture does not.

Majority: Who rules the country and by how much? Even countries that were 100% fascist in their governance were only 30%-60% fascist electorally.

Minor Ideologies: Who are the opposition, the third and fourth parties, the unassimilated, politically inactive minorities? Can anyone, or even a coalition, form a government come next election?

The Akira Technocracy (Jacklyn)

Great Power

Homeland: a Rather large island far off the coast of a nearby continent, it has lush and plentiful food and water on its northern side, where most of the inhabitants live, but there is also a long stretch of southern wasteland, too infertile and hot for any real-life to thrive, which is often used for government black sites and as a rocket testing area.

Serene Empire of Mizuho

Minor Power

A southern latitudes archipelago state.

Traits

• Island State

So many islands.

• Fish Monopoly

So many fish..

• Water Monopoly

We also have a lot of fresh water, flowing down off the mountains.

• The Woman's War

Mizuho's religion has always been the domain of priestesses and this has led to a culture far more egalitarian than most.

• Worthless Yellow Rocks

It is said that the Rabbit in the Moon came from Mizuho.

• Hostile Climate

While Mizuho's climate itself is quite amenable, the nation's myriad of islands tend to be extremely rugged and flat land suitable for large-scale construction is rather limited and often already built-upon.

• Pieds Noir

The Collegium has long exerted influence over Mizuho. The reactionary old men in cahoots with them are still kicking.

• Black Mark

This nuclear weapon was to be used against the Collegium's Hyundai Island and the massed fleet there. Unfortunately the bomber carrying it was shot down and the weapon exploded over the city of Pyonjeon, killing roughly 80,000 civilians. Oops.

The Sublime Yuhwan College of Nations including the Pious Common Kingship of the Hoopoe Forest and the Sanctified Tsintsar Crown of Yuhwasattva Vãduva

a.k.a. The Collegium, the Rzeczpospolita, or simply Gyerim-Covasna

Middle Power

Joseon dynasty Austria-Hungary

Traits

• Great Patriotic War

Somehow, the Collegium lives still. What greater proof of miracles can there be?

• Boondoggle

What do you mean the Great War is over...?

• Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier

The Rzeczpospolita is obliged to protect many small fellow travelers in the light across the world.

• Plurinational State x2

The Kingdoms of Gyerim and Covasna operate with considerable autonomy from the rest of the Collegium.

• Where Have All the Men Gone?

"My grandfathers joke that if you took all the pieces of their bodies they lost in the Great War and put them together, you'd have a whole eunuch."

"Why a eunuch...?"

"Well I'm here, aren't I?"

• The Woman's War

The realities of the Great War pushed at the open door of the highly egalitarian, even outright Matriarchal, culture of many nations in the Rzeczpospolita.

• Free Haven

The women of the Collegium want fine men!

• Brain Drain

Bright young women want to see what's going on in the rest of the world.

• Woke Space Jesuits (Worthless Yellow Rocks)

If there are Gods and other nations unknown in the stars then the Yuhwa's Gospel must go to them, until all the heavens roll in compassion alike.

• Cutthroat Politics

"Well it's complicated. Have you heard of the Norons and Sorons? It's a long story, but first, we must discuss parallel universes-"

• Republican Tradition

"-Actually that's quite fine, that's all I needed to know really."

• Nuclear Trauma

The Pyeonjeon Sarcophagus

• The Sick Old Man

Lots of chronically underdeveloped villages. Good tourism value though!

Federal Union of North Zealand

Great Power

1950's Atompunk America/Canada/Australia

Traits

• Manhattan Project

Zealand scientists cracked the secrets of the atom, to tremendous effects.

• New Imperial Century

Zealand and the Union proper remained remarkably untouched by the war, its factories churned out vehicles, weapons, and supplies for combatants the world over.

• Free Haven

The Federation welcomes the tired, huddled masses of the world to build its greatness.

• Atomic Futurism

Powered by the atom and the indomitable intellect of its scientists Zealandia future is bright!

• Operation Paperclip

OSI has secured scientists from many questionable and unethical sources for the future of the Federation.

• Cutthroat Politics

Zealands politics is a mess of Federal and State level campaigns and coalitions that have a frightening tendency to collapse at the drop of a hat.

• Boondoggle

The Federation seeks continued control over Zealand, through soft and hard means.

• Black Mark

The short lived "Atoms for Freedom" program backfired horribely in the nuclear pyre of Pyonjeon.

• War of the Worlds

Where else would the sword of Damocles fall but upon a Jewel of the world?

Janaxpachasuyu (The Empire of the Celestial Skies)(Murtox)

Great Power

Inca Empire on Steroids

Traits

• Manhattan Project

Only the Atom will safeguard the Huacas of our ancestors

• Plurinational State x2

Our history as rulers is long and rich, as such, we have a couple of extra inheritances from olden times. Kashamarkasuyu and Chachapoyas remain powerful vassal kingdoms within our lands.

• Special Relationship x2

Small kingdoms are also within our grasp, I mean authority. Tumpis, Ariqipa, Luritu and Wanuku are just in our historical sphere of influence.

• New Imperial Century

The war was fought and hard but it never reached our industrial heartland.

• My Manual Is Full of Eels
• Big Empty
• Black Mark
• Operation Paperclip
• Energy Cartel
• Boondogle

United Kingdoms of Nortia (Oseng)

Regional Power (Former Great Power before the War?)

Inspired by Aristocratic Europe (Northern/Western Europe in particular) plus certain video games

Located in the north of a continent, northern regions are possibly cold and lightly populated by "highland clans."

Catholic style faith centered on the goddess Aidios and local spirits dominates, females play large role in clergy.

Semi-Constitutional Monarchy with a High King/Emperor and a Parliament with House of Lords and House of Commoners (Possible lesser kings and princes?)

Semi-Democratic or more likely Cold War Democratic, with powerful security services and strongly influential aristocratic elements.
