Klein announced that he was declaring himself “Caesar of the new American Empire”, a Societist government for America, and suing for peace with the Empire of Drakia and the Pact of Blood.
um excuse me what the fuck
Klein announced that he was declaring himself “Caesar of the new American Empire”, a Societist government for America, and suing for peace with the Empire of Drakia and the Pact of Blood.
Poppycock. We all know it’ll be the Irish unveiling their superweapon, destroying the Pact of Blood and uniting the world under the green,white, gold, and harp banner!No, he'll be killed by a Drakian before China even finishes recovering.
How societist are Klein and his new “empire”? Is he a believer or just paying enough lipservice to get the Drakia to ease up?Klein announced that he was declaring himself “Caesar of the new American Empire”, a Societist government for America, and suing for peace with the Empire of Drakia and the Pact of Blood.

From what I've read, betting Klein's realm calls itself Societist so the vaccines could flow.How societist are Klein and his new “empire”? Is he a believer or just paying enough lipservice to get the Drakia to ease up?
Sending vaccines to his rival governments would assure his reputation as an ultimately faithful American.From what I've read, betting Klein's realm calls itself Societist so the vaccines could flow.
So, "survivalist" then.Can you really call a wrecked chunk of New England an Empire? I suspect at the moment they aren't societist or democratic at all but solely focused on basic survival and building some institutional capacity.
So, "survivalist" then.
Klein’s American Empire controlled only a small part of New England close to its capital at Plymouth and its legitimacy was rejected by two other major factions who claimed that they were the real government of America.
He will have to be authoritarian just because of the "restore order" issue.Klein may not be a genuine societist, but I doubt he isnt going to be very authoritarian, if not totalirarian even, he is the same man who worked many years with the Drakians after his failed expeditions.
Luckily he is too old to make his "empire" anything able to survive for any significant amout of time.
Oof, Drakia's going to have to work hard for it's victoryit believed that with 27% of its pre-war industry, a military reduced to 38% of its pre-war size, a handful of space bombers flying from a pair of partially repaired bases, and a single functioning space gun that remained hidden from the bombardment, it was powerful enough to roll over what little remained of its enemies.
And China strikes again!Another bomber also reached Africa on a one-way mission to destroy the Empire’s sole remaining space gun. This effectively annihilated the Noble Race’s forces in the east and ended any chance of an invasion of India.
Victory disease coming to bite Drakia back in the ass.“Today,” the Archon announced, “is the first day of the Final Society.”
The Final Society lasted for almost exactly fourteen months.

Heh, always up to the old traditions huh? Guess being a "martial race" isn't too bad. Did this princely state at least get the Sudetenland back?The emergency government of the Czech State- already coping with the loss of a third of its population and barely in control of Prague- threw the American ambassador out a window when he tried to convince them to fight, and presented his body to the Russians. In exchange for a crate of vaccines, the promise of more, and some help restoring order, the Czechs became Drakia’s newest martial race and their country the Empire’s newest princely state.
Well then, now doesn't THAT sound like a great way for jumpy militarists and egotistical Homo Drakensis to get into important places and send things tumbling down?the deaths of so many high-ranking figures meant that quite a few people who had formerly been very junior (including a number of Honorary Whites) now occupied important offices
"Societism with American Characteristics" I.E. Societism in name only, with being a Drakian puppet in name only. A dictatorship that doesn't actually alter society much beyond that necessary to survive the apocalypse, and probably slides into a constitutional monarchy relatively quickly.I know that Klein is unlikely to have his Empire win, but in the event it does, what would Klein's Empire look like in terms of its ideology?
This sounds like it's going to hurt even more than OTL's climate crisis. Then again, with eighty-odd hiroshima bombs plus hundreds of low-kiloton kinetic strikes, and all sorts of poisons dumped into most major waterways, I suppose it's not surprising.The next chapter will have a map of the post-war world, we'll also go into the damage caused by the war, the ongoing global ecological disaster (a long time coming, but the last war pushed it over the edge), the start of the anthropocene mass extinction, and if we have time the failure of the Final Society.
