Yeah, I can definitely see the "Pax Atomica" style in CoCaro rhetoric.

I'd eat that. Or most of it at least, not sure what that stew off to the side is.

I see people doing the whole "different countries get puppeted and become interesting hybrids of local and puppeteer ideology" with the yankees and the Carolinas, but has anyone tried doing it with the loomies? Granted we know a lot less about them, but still. Plus, the bonapartists and...

Honestly I feel like most of us who played these games have at least a few games that would be right at home in the madness-verse if you scraped the game logic off. I know I do.

Sounds like a good premise for a sitcom. The fresh prince of Chita.

I could definitely see Jet being some kind of left-wing nationalist who gets put into the syndicalist camp in a mod tbh. He would most likely switch to totalist partway through his tree but still.

Ah yes, the governing ideology of the Pokémon world.

It's a question of wanting your cake and eating it too I think. The children's cartoons in question often have lots of LGBTQ representation and messages of love and acceptance that makes them attractive to this crowd, but because the writers don't suffer from the same cognitive dissonance that...

Illuminism: you know you can trust us because we piss off everyone equally!

These all sound like their goals would be pretty similar and compatible. Why would they break up into different factions?

Huh, I would have thought the loomies would be into the weirder drugs like nootropics and stuff like that.

I kind of like the idea of illuminists being a comparatively individualist ideology like they are hinted at being sometimes personally (I think at some point people were writing about them having objectivist factions). Having them go all borg feels a little bit too much like them just turning...

Hey, aren't these from that one 23rd century scenario where China is a dynamist superpower?

It would be pretty ironic if the American fascists end up doing more to overturn traditional gender expectations if they go all in on the "power is the beat aphrodisiac" stuff in this version then the openly revolutionary systematists.

Wouldn't a lot of these "remnants" be politically dead and/or actively purged, even if only by authoritarians that get conquered by the democrats later on? Plus I imagine that whoever unites Russia will get to effectively decide what the political dynamics of the country are like, so it's likely...

But how did public opinion manage to shift so rapidly? Considering how many Chinese feel OTL I imagine that on the ground the dai-li would actually enjoy a decent amount of public support, or at least a "their hearts are in the right place, I just wish they were more cautious" mentality.

Keybeck having northern Ontario is proof this is the darkest timeline.

How did China and Japan manage to normalize relations ITTL? Animosity persisted for decades and still hangs on today in OTL, and here they have another 30 years of exploitation on top of that.

Probably a lot more openly aristocratic. Plus the autonomists wouldn't have those ancaps and the ultimates would be treated like bad guys from the start like they are in second edition.

What would the Loomie ideal of perfectionism even be?
