"What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

Perhaps its like Hutu and Tutsi type. The Union likes the West African tribes but hated Bantus or something.
I'm thinking the only type of race mixing the union would tolerate are Anglo-Germanic/Japanese, or Gaullic Protestant/Anglo-Germanic
Because even the Anglo-Saxon Pinnicle Man has a weakness for Japanese girls in "cutified" fascist uniforms?
Dear Christ, you really wouldn't have to change much about Nazi-chic ITTL apart from the whole swastika thing.
OOC: this thread and forum is full of otakus isn't it?
Appropriately enough, slave based economies lend themselves to NEET livelihoods.

Shit.
SHIT.
I just realized that because Holy Nippon is all AFC and stuff, and pornography is banned there...
... that means...
oh no...
... hentai is never going to exist in the Madnessverse.
Now that my friends is true dystopia.

I actually have contemplated having the Union be a place where all drugs are legal. But stuff like pornography and such is very taboo and banned. I like the idea. It also opens up the idea that a lot of the "visions" the spiritualists have are just freaking drug trips that they attach meaning to. The Council has used peyote for its entire history.
Also people can do whatever drugs they want to self-medicate and be "happy" in society. I had that idea more from Equilibrium rather than We Happy Few, but yes, similar to We Happy Few. Especially if some rights and possobly even citizenship in the future revolve around military service. Go get effed in the head and lose a limb and come home and do drugs to block it out. If you OD, well then that's natural selection and weeding out bad genes as America marches toward the recreation of the Pinnacle Man and the Blood of Adam.

I can't wait to see what happens when they create LSD. Joking aside I can imagine the RU investing heavily into cocaine and amphetamines for there troops especially during the Great War.
In OTL the British had all there soldiers drink Rum before going over the top to give them "Dutch Courage" whilst the Germans experimented with giving there Soldiers ether. That was just the first World War, drugs got a lot crazier in the Second.
It's because blacks are a middle caste of sorts. Not inferiors, but at the same time they shouldn't have relations with the "betters of society". It was covered in the Phrenology chapter
FTFY

Oh I'm very aware of that. However I still think it's more of a "separate but equal" but with the equality part actually being true. African Americans can rise to the very heights of power, but they had better not date a white guy/gal.

You know what could be interesting? If animation in the RU took cues from the Japanese stylistic influences that shaped anime and manga OTL and cartoons in the Madness!verse look more like anime than anything made by Disney OTL (though I'd imagine Walt could very well be corrupted into an RU propagandist, maybe working alongside Madness!Goebbels or something).
And now I'm picturing a giant robot anime where the heroes are fighting the Papists in a mecha.

I feel like Japanese culture will attempt to be exterminated honestly, though. Some artistic styles might remain for regional flavor, but I feel like they will heavilyyyy Anglicize them by the mid-1900s. I mean they already adopted Western names. Lol
"My name is Billy Henderson! Boy do I sure love hotdogs and apple pie! You know how to say Howdy! In Japanese?"
"Howdy!"
The entire alliance structure for Union-Japan the Union pretends to embrace Holy Nippon while actively pushing for them to surrender their cultural identity. I could see them almost completely wiping out pure Japanese bloodlines by the end of the 20th century. Joe the burger guy down on the square might be a descendent of bushido warriors, but all he knows is that his grandpappy brought home something called a Japanese and proceded to make Pinnacle babies.
You can't do that to me fella! I'm doing God's work as a proud, moonshiner beating, anarchist shooting agent of the Office of Public Virtue! God Bless Chancellor Gamble, and God Bless Rusty Bunker, Protector of our Virtue! Hark the Sound you Yankee Degenerate!
Had a great time reading the latest chapters, especially the Winston Churchill biography. I especially thought it was interesting how this evil, crazy version of Winston spent much of his life in the Republican Union and even served some time of military service in the American Pacific. I've read and know a lot about the real-life Winston Churchill, so it was interesting to compare and contrast the two, very different versions of the man. I can't wait to see what other bios like this are written.
On another note Napoleon, going back to the Great American War, I noticed something of an error. I noticed how the grandson of Ferdinand VII, Alfonso Bourbon, OTL's Alfonso XII of Spain, was leader of the Georgian Bourbon Brigade. However, Alfonso was born in 1857 and would have been only a toddler during the time of the war. A solution for this could be either that this is a different version of Alfonso who is an alternate sibling or cousin of Princess Isabella or to re-edit the post and have some other member of the Spanish Bourbons be leader of the brigade. Some options could be Infante Carlos, Count of Molina, the OTL leader of the Carlists during the First Carlist War, one of his sons, or Francis, Duke of Cádiz (1822-1902), the husband and distant cousin of Isabella and son-in-law of Ferdinand VII.
Come to think of it, this world's version of Isabella is certainty a different version than our own world's version, as IOTL Isabella II of Spain was born in 1830. This world's version of Isabella would have to have been born before King Ferdinand VII killed himself in 1827.
Whatever works best for you.

Sounds very bad for the Japanese and Japan itself. Lets hope some Japanese exiles in maybe China, Korea or even the vast Dutch Empire in Asia can preserve Japanese culture and with the help of other nations hopefully liberate their homeland. Sadly, that might be wishful thinking.
