And our resident Nuclear Gandhi wasn't held back by the Seven-Nation Army he was warned about when the United States gave him his ultimatum.
Did you made that flag yourself?
The banner of the Unitarian Party of Korea
No, I got it from a Wikipedia article on Jinju City. However, I could find no source to corroborate the article's claim that the flag is actually Jinju's city flag.
Whether or not it's real, it looks good :^)
Especially if the Three Bogatyrs are successfully appealed to by the Indians with promises of land (IIRC, the Volgaks and Chinese haven't resolved their border issues and the Russians and Krajinans both desire Lithuanian land) and revanche (against the Lithuanians for the crimes of the Revivalists and the Germans for their leniency towards Lithuania). What other powers could the Indians appeal to, anyways?
Eastern Turkey, maybe some of the post-Visengrad states, maybe some countries in the Vespucias?
What makes you say that? I'd say the Ruskies would be good Indian allies due to their hatred of the Lithuanians and resentment of the Germans.
Note that Alexei Krutov's regime in Russia persecuted Unitarians just as much as they persecuted Revivalists
and I'm pretty sure I noted the Bogatyrs' stance on the Great Asian War in a previous chapter.
Not saying that it's a bad suggestion or anything, I just wanted to point a few things out
Okay, but yeah, if the Indians were smart, they would be reaching out to countries with grudges against the "Big Seven".
I never said that Russians wouldn't be good allies for the Unitarians, I simply suggested some other possibilities.

Ethnic Jokes in the (former) Lithuanian Empire
"Tell a joke to a German, and he will not understand it.
Tell a joke to a Frenchman, and he will understand it, but won't show it.
Tell a joke to a Chinese, and he will understand it his own way.
Tell a joke to a Lithuanian, and he will tell you that he knows three more versions of that joke that are much better."
When not fighting each other with words or knives, the multiethnic people of the Empire of Lithuania were not beyond making stories and jokes about each other, many of which ended up surviving to modern day. Stereotypes and humorous exaggerations of other peoples was common across the nation, evolving into a somewhat unique joke format that is still widespread and told in pubs or meetings. The first attempts to write down Imperial Lithuanian jokes started in the late 19th century and intensified during the Era of Good Feelings. Even today, joke books are being released for the enjoyment of readers in Eastern Europe and elsewhere.
Here are some of the more common ethnic jokes in the former Empire of Lithuania.
Komi and Nenets are largely characterized similarly, and are most commonly presented as extremely poor, uncivilized and simple-minded, but clever in a naive kind of way.
Russians and Ruthenians are also presented in a similar manner to each other - both are stereotypically stingy and abrasive and with a bit of a vendetta towards Lithuanians. A unique property of their jokes, however, is that if a Ruthenian tells a joke about Russians and vice versa, it is practically mandatory to do so in the other country's accent, which is in both countries perceived as funny.
Lithuanians rarely show up as the main character of jokes, usually playing the role of straight man responding to the hijinks of other characters, but for the most part, they are presented as arrogant, rich and smug, and people of urban life, as opposed to their simpler, poorer counterparts.
Humor regarding Jews is a developed subset of Lithuanian jokes, and stems from the public perception of Jewish Lithuanians. The stereotypical greed and arrogant attitude present in most European cultures in largely around, though there are many variations.
Estonians are depicted as having no sense of humor and being stubborn, taciturn, and especially slow. The Estonian accent, especially its sing-song tune and the lack of genders in grammar, forms part of the humor. Their common usage of long vowels and consonants both in speech and orthography also led to the stereotype of being slow in speech, thinking, and action.
