The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

Ironically Rurik II is very close to historical Rurik given that his conversion was based on asking what will converting to X religion benefit him with Orthodox winning over Islam due to allowing alcohol.

No, that was Rurik's descendant, Vladimir the Great, Rurik himself was born as pagan and died as pagan.
 
Not really, historical Rurik was pagan and Rurik II from TNO is secularist, whatever Krylov tries to do is fusion between his view of tradition and his view of modernity.
Also, Chita in Far East also represents their take on Russian Empire.
Well, TNO Rurik follows state atheism, not secularism. He is not shown burning churches so at the very least he bans then from the government and supress their influence on public life.

I wish there was a way to convert to secularism or state religion as him.

As far as I know it took a few centuries for that, it was a member of the house of Rurik that did that, but not THE Rurik.

Considering he integrates the Oyrats as advisors, one idea I have is that Lydia (Rurik III would probably just be secular) moves away from state atheism, but doesn't want the baggage of Russian Orthodoxy, so she digs up the Old Believers as the new state faith that represents the "new" Russia.

Or even goes with a "reformed" Slavic paganism, for that matter.

Yeah, though state atheism is radical form of secularism so I kinda dumbed it down. You're right when it comes to pie chart analysis.
 
I don't know if I've brought this for, but my vague TNO head canon is that most of the historical hooters made by Americans would be set during the South African War depending on how that ends.

Looks like Mexico has some issues.
 
Here a interesting thing.

So, integralism came in the 1900s by ultrareactionaries who wanted to bring the pre enlightenment society back. Mexico has integralists, and the bizarre thing is what they want.

Basically the Mexican integralists are anti Mexico. They believe (like some radtrad Brazilians do) that their current nation state is heretic and unchristian since the European monarchies had a mandate given by the pope to rule over their lands. This the Mexican integralists want to end Mexico and annex the country back into Spain.
The event talks about a socialist guerrilla, and the dirty war was about the PRI fighting socialists movements. The Synarchists became irrelevant after the 30s historically.
