The appearance of the Gods in March 2011, coincided with a rise in the Hurr Durr Meme (and the melting of several thousands of actual minds) leading to a generation of people whose only verbal output was "Old Gods, Hurr Durr."

The Gothic Khanate, also referred to as the Gothic Empire was a state located on the Pontic Steppe between 800 and 1100 CE. Founded after the Crimean Goths defeated the Khazars, over the course of a century the Goths conquered the Khazar Khaganate. During the rule of Goddas the Great between 896 CE to 928 CE, the Khanate converted to Orthodox Christianity and conquered a large empire from Bessarabia to the Ural River. The Empire's capital was at Khanstädt, near modern-day Astrakhan. The city was called "the grandest on the Steppe," holding a population between 50 and 75 thousand. The empire is famous for its warriors who mercilessly fought other powers, most famously during the Gothic-Rus wars. The Empire began declining in the eleventh century, and in 1100, Khanstädt was sacked by the Cumans, ending the empire. However, its legacy still remains, as 4 million Goths still live in the region and Orthodoxy cemented itself as the religion of the steppe.

Deemed one of the most controversial events in history, the Cairo Horrors was a massacre that took place in Cairo in 1966 by British colonial powers. The event would lead to over 3,000 deaths and turned many opinions on the British Empire. The formation of the Imperial Federation in the 1920s helped decrease unrest throughout the empire. However, by the 1960s, many subjects of the empire began demanding more rights, demanding the independence of many nations directly under British control. In 1966 a meeting in Cairo over Egypt's autonomy began. The debate on the Suez Canal was the most important issue in the debate. However, as time went on it began to become more clear that no demands of the Egyptians were to be meant. Protests began around the building and escalated into a riot. Concerned over the safety of the officials, the British army was called in and a misunderstanding resulted in the army firing on the civilians. The event widely changed the opinion of the IC, even in Britain. Over the next decade many nations began declaring independence from Britain. Today, the IC only covers the white states of Britain and India.
