Let's see whether we can do Decades of Darkness, the Draka, and For All Time one better...

With a POD no earlier than the year 1100, try to create a modern-ish Great Power (post-1950s OTL tech level) with the following characteristics:

1) Slavery
2) Human sacrifice
3) Cannibalism
4) Totalitarian government
5) Taliban-level repression of women
6) "Scientific" racism
7) Eugenics (state-selected partners, euthanasia, sterilization, etc.)
8) Regular use of purges (both ethnic and political)
9) Militarism
10) Expansionist imperialism
11) Torture as an accepted part of the judicial system
12) Televised gladiatorial bouts
13) Euthanasia for people the state deems "unproductive"
14) Anything else you can think of that's sufficiently horrible

Bonus points if you don't need to start a nuclear war to produce this monstrosity.

EVEN MORE bonus points if you can make every Great Power in the world behave this way.



...My suspicion is that this level of awful might be ASB, but I thought I'd let the experts mull it over first.
