The other Malthusian states haven't issued a declaration of war yet, though? I wonder how that will change in the next few updates. Oh, and at what point Russia will join the war.
Ooh! I didn't think I could feel this strongly about it, but I love your choice of names for planets and moons, and wish OTL used those. Four moons named after water gods. Venus, Minerva, and Juno (and sort of Earth) all named after females. A moon named after Minerva's owl. I love that owl And Romulus and Remus are much cooler and more iconic names than Deimos and Phobos.
PS, I just discovered you made me a super-awesome airship captain! A thousand thanks, Glen! Tusen Takk, in the tongue of the Scandinavians! Sadly, I was not aware of this at the time so didn't have the chance to thank you for my adventurous new career. It seems I wasn't on ah.com in September for some reason. Weird.
Now, I do have a question.
Does this mean that the illustrious Brede Kjerstein conquered the South Pole, or does it mean that the lessons he learned helped someone else in that endeavor?
Sorry for the late reply.In what way? The USA has no entangling alliances...Washington would be proud!
Fair enough. That's more than I got in real life.
Did he get to name a few things in Antarctica, though? I'm picturing Brede Kjerstein as a mythology buff, so he might want to name some places accordingly. I think Lintukoto would be a good name for a place with penguins, because in Finnish myth, it's the land of birds at the end of the world.
Also, Ginnungagap (possibly one of the seas?), and Niflheim, from the Norse myths of Kjerstein's ancestors. And maybe one of the nice islands can be Nye Valdres (or New Valdres) after the region where the Kjersteins come from.
I'm half-tempted to make up a whole post about Brede Kjerstein, now that you made him a cool explorer. But I won't, because a) That's Mary Sueing to the extreme, b) I know he's a super minor character, c) I'm a busy man, and d) I don't want to waste your time by having you proofread someone else's post, when you're busy starting a giant war.
Sorry for the late reply.
I just seem to recall one of the updates having the US voice support for Britain in their Crisis over India or something of the sort. I was probably exaggerating the extant.
Now that I have looked over some of the recent Updates, I can't find the mention. Idk, maybe I just didn't notice. Anyways, it would appear that neutrality is in America's future... Definitely see it leaning towards the Brits and Co., but who knows?... Keep it up Glen, I think my questions will continue to be answered as time goes on.
Well, I sure don't know which Arctic places to give mythical names to. I'm not as familiar with that area as Brede is. Is it too late to name Svalbard and Jan Mayen Island?
And I'm also curious if the United States will remain neutral, or take a side and learn to fight.
So right now we have Malthusians acting alot like OTL Progressives. Slowly implementing policies in hopes of changing the culture and society. However with an ideology like this it seems like it is only a matter of time before some Malthusian Party in some country decides to take the leap into more forceful actions such as forced sterilization and what not. This timeline's first world war was a war against Korsgardism. Is it possible that the next world war, if one is to occur, will be a war against Malthusians?
I wonder how the Germans and Prusso-Polish are looking at Malthusians. If they embraced it it would not be a big step to adopt such a military policy, given their histories. However it seems that it is more liberal countries adopting Malthusian policies, so I don't think the Germans, Prusso-Polish, or Russians are going to adopt Malthusian ideas. I could possibly see France going Malthusian.
Hmm, is my prediction of a world war between Malthusians and non-Malthusians coming true
Is it happening? The Malthusian World War I predicted so long ago?
Well that is going to depend on what countries will be willing to side with the UNI.
So the Second Global War has begun.
Called it.
It is hereby duly noted that IchBinDieKaiser has been calling it and calling it hard for years!
It was soooo hard not to let it out of the bag how well you did!
This plotline has been planned since before the Global War, so it's good to finally be able to let it unfold.
Kudos to IchBinDieKaiser!!!
Can we have a list of who is on what side?

I second this. Plus call for a map
