What are your thoughts?
 
The rest of the world won't stand for it. There will be a coalition formed to go in and reinstate the monarchy!
 
This should go in ASB

IC: I'm sure the US will take a hard line against this coup. (There are so many butterflies you might be better off ignoring them.)

OOC: Guys, he meant America as being a mistaken Atlantis. Use your imaginations.

IC: The United States of South Newland will likely invade this new Atlantean Monarchy, even though I support it.

I always knew that nothing good could come of telling the Jews that their new homeland has to be named Atlantis. I mean what League Of Nations flunkhead thought that up??

OOC: as this is in post-1900, that means the divergence is after 1900.
 
We all kind of knew that ever since the 1998 stock collapse that the libertarian dream of Atlantis was a little more than a pipe-dream. When they decided to impose a monarchy in 2003, you could tell that the Rand family was "losing it". Even the 1968 British crackdown on Sealand, should have told us that sooner or later that the idea of a self-proclaimed kingdom was an invitation for military force to be used....

OOC: I'm going with the idea that Atlantis refers to one of the many libertarian projects to create a micronation in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I threw in the Rand family to insure some fun with the Bioshock allegory...

1: Atlanteans have a difficult time with English grammar.
2: I did not know there was an Atlantis.
3: Surely this is bull, as the Atlantean Emperor has magic powers by virtue of his elohim blood and attunement to the Golden Throne? I mean sure, if it was the Crown Prince during the high festival of Yig, but otherwise no.
4: Shouldn't this be in the ASB forum?
