It could still be the BBC: British Broadcasting Co-Operative.
What's TTL's equivalent of the BBC? The IBC? The BBU?

I like thatIt could still be the BBC: British Broadcasting Co-Operative.
I had an idea about a comic featuring a socialist working-class hero called the Joker, who lacks superpowers and fights using his wits to produce tools and traps to fight criminals with. His main enemy is the Lord of Bats, a blood-sucking vampire that terrorizes the commune of Gotham at night, whose real identity is revealed to be an unscrupulous capitalist with connections to the German arms industry.
Joker's catchphrase is "Why so serious?", playfully said to seething criminals after they've fallen into one of his traps.
I wonder if there's some kind of syndie Santa thereWhat would Christmas movies be like in Syndicalist nations, including the CSA?
Syndicalist France and Italy would still be influenced by the Catholic Church so that would work. The same could be said for America and the Anglican Church in Britain would probably play a role in societyI wonder if there's some kind of syndie Santa there
Considering the population should still be religious despite the left secular leaning of these states I think they should have these movies(specially the religious ones) re-purposed to fit their "social teachings"(kinda like the church's social doctrine but with a red paint over it)
I really would love to see what "Jingle All the Way" would be like ITTL

Wait, does the csa have free speech?Syndiepunk 2020
"Welcome to life on the edge" - Tagline of the game
Syndiepunk 2020 is a game made in 1989, based on the existing genre of Syndiepunk in the Orthodox Syndicalist CSA. Syndiepunk as a genre has always been a criticism of new technology but, more importantly, of old society. Direct democracy breeds obsessiveness and ideological bitterness, while the bureaucratic structures of syndicalism often lead young people to feeling disconnected and treated as a machine. Children in schools are taught values of charity and unity, but in practice mild corruption and the politicization of all life are uncomfortable. Syndiepunk is a resistance against the notion that a human being can be abstracted into the machine of democracy. It is nihilistic, individualistic, and even capitalist in a certain way.
The premise of Syndiepunk 2020 is that in the distant future of, well, 2020, the Combined Syndicates of America is changing. Advanced technology has led to advances like robotic limbs, vat-grown body parts, nuclear and solar technology, and genetic engineering, but those advances are distributed unevenly by the CSA's government and favor those who 'play by the rules'. An underground profession of 'gun punks' serve as rebels, fighting against cruel militias and dodging Department of Internal Security agents armed with machine guns and robotic eyes. Everyone who plays by the rules is tracked, with digital dossiers keeping Reed-De Leon D.C. informed of who's playing by the rules and who isn't.
Players are disaffected rebels aiding the PSA or sowing discord in occupied Canada. They may also just be out for money, with individual labor organizations paying them to sabotage other organizations. Gun punks may even assist gangsters and such on the streets, going on epic heists against the people who play by the rules or even the people who make the rules. They use false identities and fake thumbprints. They sometimes go in quietly and lie their way into some administrative block, or maybe they'll bring a machine gun in and just paint the walls red.
Despite having emerged in the CSA on the part of countercultural libertarians, Syndiepunk is quite popular in Europe, especially in the Entente. There, the more nuanced understandings of how the CSA operates are often scrubbed away in favor of a simpler story of capitalist rebels versus syndicalist tyrants. CSA Syndiepunk players often deride 'Ententepunks' for their simplistic views of the game, though 'cross ocean games' have been recently brought into existence in recent times.
Basically make Village the first game and grow the lore from thatI have always wondered: How would one make the Resident Evil series different in the world of Kaiserreich? Either in the Kalterkrieg and/or Krasnacht Timelines?
You do know that Village takes place after everything, right?Basically make Village the first game and grow the lore from that
