Ah, and what do you think of the Imperial German unit idea?
Well, I'd expect a fascist British state to still mostly crib from the typical conservative/classical ideals of England, just as fascist France would do the same for the French Kingdom. But I just mean maybe there's a cabal of weird theosophists who are really into Egypt, much like the German ones were really into Tibet.
The Brits or French fascists would be into Egyptology because it's Old and hence Powerful, but unlike German fascists who obsessed about Germanic and Nordic stuff, it would be about their nation conquering Egypt, and thus harnessing the mythical abilities of that civilization.
For France it's easier, I mean they actually took the original Cleopatra's Needle from Luxor and they own plenty of African colonies, so a French fascist state can be like, "Yeah we're totally following Napoleon's footsteps."
Maybe the Brits crib from
British Israelism and are like, "We are the original, true Jews, and this is payback. Give us your ancient mummy magics." Which is ironic because if you think about it, Raiders of the Lost Ark was about the Nazis trying to acquire ancient Jewish magic so faux-Jewish British crazies trying to take ancient Egyptian magic would be quite a high concept twist.
Does this idea merit its own thread?
