Also, looks like the French government has been overthrown by Rexists. Hmmm that means they aren't the Situationists like I thought they were...

Judging from the name I think the movement has to be primarily anti-Drakian

The twist is it'll be a Chinese movement that's primarily anti-Russian, and then Situationism will spread like a rash through the subjugated peoples of the Unfree World from there. Something else worth considering: given that Rex values (small-o) orthodox religious traditionalism and has a clear understanding of its ideological enemies, would expanding the ideology into the Middle East be Correct Rex Thought? It wouldn't be a broadly endorsed opinion, but I'm sure there are at least a few that would prefer a Rex Caliphate as opposed to Societist encroachment.

Klein proves himself to be a rat bastard til the end.
Whoops thanks for the correction!
So he went from a Jewish American Fascist to a Saviorite Drakian Societist to a (presumably) Jewish (again) Defense Pact Rexist?
  1. What wacky combo is he going to jump ship to next?
  2. Alternatively, is he gonna make it big in the Rex Jewish Homeland? What is it even called, Ashkenazia?
Also, any guesses as to the identity of his mysterious Polish bondsman?

Did Stooker kill his wife and child after the discovery?
Depends on whether the affair got out or is still a secret IMHO. Being "outed" as a cuckhold would be very damaging politically, so he might pretend to not know if it's secret beyond a small inner circle.
 
Drakian forces fighting Germans in the caucasus? I'm getting an inexplicable feeling i've seen this before somewhere...
Oh holy shit... the Eurasian War could begin....
Well, the current year is 1940 so we are almost at the events of the first book of the vanilla Drakaverse...but with a much more interesting and realistic back(Hi)story:cool:and yet (almost) similar space filling empires geopolitical situation...

I was under the impression the Great Patriotic War was just a much more realistic Eurasian War with a less lazy name.

I thought that he was an important Polish dissident, who's gonna get sent into Russia to secure a new homeland for the Poles. But then they got a homeland anyway, with no mention of the Bondsman. I assume he'll come up later, but I'm not sure how.

Any clues, EBR?

He could pass his family's death off as a tragic accident. That way, he's gotten rid of his shame and kept his reputation intact.
 
What will happen with Tibet?

Tibet remains a minor independent neutral country, one trying to be close to India as an alternative to Japan.

With small countries like Ceylon and Cambodia annexed or partitioned, and medium sized countries like Turkey or Arabia or Spain in harm’s way, is it possible for the remaining small countries e.g the Maldives or the Lesser Antilles to vote to become American territories?

It's... not impossible. Places like the Lesser Antilles get protection from America by belonging to the Grand Alliance though, that's not likely to change much by joining the Union.

Hmmm the Part One(possibly) makes me wonder if the RZ is not really as dead as the dice make them seem... Also it looks like the Pan-Europeans prepared for winter, at least initially.

There will be other stages of this war and they'll require their own rolls in time.

If I ever get involved in an ISOT Map game, I'll use one of those two. :winkytongue:

Please tell me where you got those amazing cityscape pictures.

Sorry to hear about work. My sister is a teacher in a major urban school district, and I know how much crap she takes on a daily basis.

It's not honestly the kids so much as the administration. Well, only 71 more days to go!

I cant stop Laughing, I just cant.

:p

Also How does Rex define "Europeon Civilization"? If this was a purely Catholic bloc, Id think it be obvious but its not with the Germans and Protestants acting as the defneders of culture here.

They have this romanticized image of Medieval Europe, only translated onto modern industrial society, and de-emphasizing the monarchy and nobility. They're more concerned with national loyalty than Christianity, but a very conservative, traditional form of Christianity is a must for the Rex, whether it's Catholic, Protestant, and or Orthodox.

During the Vietnam, there really was fights between Helicopters and Biplane?🤯 Snap, I didn't knew that!

Believe it or not! The NVA launched an air raid using a quartet of Soviet utility biplanes (like for agricultural uses) that had been equipped with jerry-rigged weapons systems against a CIA radar station on the Laotian border. One of the biplanes was shot down by small arms fire from the ground, and an unarmed CIA helicopter stumbled onto the attack while coming to drop off supplies. The biplanes made a run for it, but the helicopter chased one of them down (being faster and more maneuverable than it was) and the co-pilot emptied an AK-47 into it, bringing it down.

Big F for the former colonial empire and n*1 nation that was Spain.:cryingface:

F

Also, you said a third of the spanish population received citizenship, what about the rest?😨

Nationals, mostly. POWs and persons interned for being too close to the Pobladisto government or the Black Soil Party became Bonded. Those Nationals who manage to convince the Drakians of their loyalty will find themselves becoming Citizens.

Great chapter BTW, I loved the "adventures" of Klein.;)

I agree with others that Klein's antics absolutely steal the show here.

@Ephraim Ben Raphael

Klein is entirely too clever, lol. I wonder what "documents" he made off with, and why it's important that the Pan-Europeans are ignoring them. Then again, I also (wildly early) suspected he was wandering off with nuclear weapons research knowledge the last time he defected so I shouldn't be making the same assumption again.

Yes, that man is a bloody legend.XD Imagine the face Stocker must had when he understood he was cucked. x'D
I wonder if ITTL there will be movies about Klein's antics.:openedeyewink::evilsmile:

He's a very fun character to write.XD The papers he took with him included copies of proposed Drakian invasion plans for Europe, and details about the capabilities of Drakian warships models and naval weapons.

Is it sad that I'm rather hoping the Germans win? They're sufficiently not horrible that anyone sane should prefer them to the Drakan bloc, and the Russians ITTL were a lot closer to being Nazi-levels of horrific than IOTL.

Not at all. Oppressive as the Rex are, their level of evil is more on-par with OTL's Fascist Italy or Apartheid South Africa. As bad as they are, they're fighting people far worse, and the Pan-Europeans clearly hold the moral high ground over Drakia.

Drakian forces fighting Germans in the caucasus? I'm getting an inexplicable feeling i've seen this before somewhere...

There's a reason for that.:openedeyewink:

I don't want to give anything away, but amid the wild mass guessing at least one person has correctly guessed what country Situationism will be big in.

The Rex consider non-European cultures inferior, and are opposed to having non-Europeans in their countries, so they wouldn't want to conquer the Middle East, but they would be down for Arab puppet states or even allies- most Rex respect the Arab struggle against Drakia.

Did Stooker kill his wife and child after the discovery?

Nah. As others have guessed he sent his wife off to the Dragon's Nest, waited an appropriate time, and then announced their divorce and found a new one. He never publicly acknowledged Fortuna as anything other than his legitimate daughter, he included her in the Stoker family and paid for her education when she grew up. We'll see her again.

So he went from a Jewish American Fascist to a Saviorite Drakian Societist to a (presumably) Jewish (again) Defense Pact Rexist?
  1. What wacky combo is he going to jump ship to next?
  2. Alternatively, is he gonna make it big in the Rex Jewish Homeland? What is it even called, Ashkenazia?
Also, any guesses as to the identity of his mysterious Polish bondsman?

1. Yes
2. That would be telling.
3. Quite possibly, and it's just called the Jewish Fatherland
4. He was just a figure among the underground Polish Nationalists in Rodinist Poland who was important enough that the Polish government would have heard of him and be able to confirm his identity.

Well, hes not a complete Psychopath then... Wonder how she'll show up, trying to Overly compensate for her mixed blood and Life or turning out as a Dissident or reformer. Either way that reveal must of been incredibally traumatizing

Ah gotcha, Suprised a Socialist form/ Militantly Atheist Ideolgy hasnt sprung up yet... Also this just gave me an epiphany: This entire thing is about Culture instead of Ideolgy. You have Multi Cultural America, Rodonist Russia, and Societist Draka which when you boil it down really only works for the Draka and maybe maybe the rest of the Anglo world, The Rex Europeons and of course the Pan Asians.
