  1. Austria: Never Forget Thy Past

    Alas, as mentioned, this project ran its course. I had/have a framework to rewrite and produce something with more nuanced and with which I'm more satisfied but I haven't the time. Someday. Nevertheless, my thanks for reading.

    One of the first major cooking shows on US TV, it was hosted by Julia Child and sought to introduce Americans to Swedish cuisine. A resounding dud in the Boston viewing market, the show did find a following in the Midwest among those of Scandinavian descent. Franklin & Marshall

  3. Austria Unites Germany, what happens to Hungary?

    There's an clear precedent to split up the hereditary Habsburg lands within Habsburg ideology, Maximilian and Ferdinand of Aragon's agreement which was eventually carried out by Charles V. So I don't think the notion of letting Hungary (and the Italian and Polish realms) go would be hugely...

  4. Plausability Check: A second Archduchy

    The Archduchy is like the Highlander, there can only be one. In all seriousness though, the Archduchy was created (forged) to establish the position of the then out of favor Habsburgs when they were passed over for an Electorship. However, once the Habsburgs cemented their power, it became a...

  5. A Greater Austrian Empire

    Lovely thoughts all around here. Two minor, perhaps personal, suggestions: The Crown Prince wouldn't be referred to as General (in the first passage), he's either Crown Prince or Archduke. Stylistically, I would advise sticking to either German or English name variants. It's odd to have Emperor...

    The sobriquet of Stephen Douglas, President of the United States, during whose term massive and sweeping promises were repeatedly made but never delivered upon.

    The rallying cry of the Antiprogressionist movement which arose in the 1980s across the West in reaction to progressionist technocracies which had risen to power in the preceding decades. The statement itself is taken from a sermon American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr gave in 1954. Though...

    GDP Carlin's iconic 1976 hyper-realistic painting of a woman draped in the American flag on a opaque background. At the time the piece was labeled pornographic, obscene, and iconoclastic, because while the flag did fully cover the subject, it still left little to the imagination. However in the...

    The posthumous title of American President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln's rise from humble origins to the presidency rivaled that of George Washington in the American imagination. He emerged from the great crucible of the Secession Crisis as a semi-legendary figure, around whom a cult of personality...

    The famous reply of Absurdist artist and technocculist, Alfredo Pacino, in 1976 when asked by host Ronald Reagan of The Tonight Show, "What inspires you?"

    Wonderfully thought out. My major gripe with the final Book of LoK was the decision to make Prince Wu a throw-away character whose only major decision makes little-to-no political sense. I really feel like the creators could have had a deeper commentary, especially with the interwar vibe they...
