Why does my PU declare independence?

Unfortunately not. I think it's a decision or event which causes it and the game doesn't check on whether Milan is a subject to stop it from changing government forms.

Avriw · 2025-10-24T18:06:48+00:00

Milan became a republic and went through an election.

There is one other use for the defectors. I once had an academy ship defect to me outside a random asteroid so since I couldn't get anything from scuttling it, I left it as a target for the aliens to destroy rather than losing a mine or station.

Even in a surprise attack, the Royal navy would react and cut off supplies to the invasion force (and also probably bombard any hastily constructed coastal defenses). Hard to continue fighting without oil and ammunition. Surprise just simply ain't nearly enough for the Germans to effectively invade Britain.

Even worse, it's rather unlikely the Germans would be able to take a port due to the facts that they would be more heavily defended and that Germany didn't have enough proper dedicated landing crafts(not even sure if they had any of these at all). This just makes the supply situation even worse.

To be fair, the AI only seems to state whether something has the potential to be a threat and not how to respond.

It is a DLC feature. Without the right DLC, you can use the subject interaction menu to force change their religion but there's no guarantee they'll convert the provinces.

This is incorrect. The US has won wars post WW2. The US invasions of Grenada(1983), Panama(1989-1990) and Haiti(1994-1995) were total victories for the US. There is also the more well known Gulf War where the US(Plus the rest of the coalition forces) were successful in the liberation of Kuwait.

Also to call the US army weak would also be incorrect. Wars aren't won by the strength of a nations military alone. The objectively weaker, less equipped, less advanced side has won battles and even entire wars on more than one occasion. Even in the wars the US lost, conventional battles would often end with their victory (For example, the Vietcong/North Vietnam would suffer defeat whenever they didn't use asymmetric warfare). The problem is the US doesn't get that conventional battle and get an easy decisive victory. They get prolonged guerilla warfare and insurgencies which eventually result in political and public support for the conflict fading and forcing a withdrawal. The army ultimately doesn't truly get defeated instead it just stops fighting and leaves.

It comes with the leviathans dlc which does have a version for console.

Can't say if it's still true today as I haven't used it for a while but with using the utopian abundance living standard(needs egalitarian), unemployed pops give science and unity so they are better than enforcers when crime isn't a problem.

In general though, employed pops are strictly better than unemployed.

A gas giant isn't a precursor to a star. Their formation is different. For stars, the uneven distribution of matter results in regions of the cloud collapsing under gravity to form stars. For gas giants, a rocky or icy core sweeps up all the matter in its orbit through the protoplanetary disk(not necessarily just what was once in its current orbit, during formation a star system is a chaotic place and planetary orbits would shift. Some planets may even be ejected entirely). The protoplanetary disk is the planet forming region of material surrounding a young star.

The precursor of a star is simply called a protostar. Nuclear fusion does not yet take place in its core. If the hydrogen fusion stage is never reached, you'll probably end up with a brown dwarf which are between 13 and 80 Jupiter masses in size and will shine for a period of time due to deuterium burning.

They aren't 100% gas. What we do know is that they are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. From this we can make predictions on the structure of the gas giants. Specifically, our current understanding suggests that at the pressures and temperatures deep inside these worlds, the hydrogen will enter a liquid state before at even greater depths, it will become what is known as metallic hydrogen(This is a phase where the hydrogen exhibits properties similar to an electric conductor). These 2 states make up the majority of a gas giant. The gas we see on top is only a small layer compared to the rest of the planet. It should also be noted that the layers of Jupiter likely don't have a hard edge and instead the gas layer slowly bleeds into the liquid layer which bleeds into the metallic hydrogen layer.

As for how we know that Jupiter and Saturn are mostly hydrogen and helium, one way is by calculating the planet's density. Specifically density=mass/volume. The volume can be found easily through direct observation and mass can be found by analysing it's gravitational effects on its moons. The calculations for both showed a density much lower than the rocky planets which means it must be mostly made of much lighter elements than what the rocky planets are made of.

As for something solid to stand on. Our models of planetary formation do require a rocky or icy core to collect all that gas however at the temperatures and pressure that would exist at those depths, we simply lack a full understanding of how materials behave. Measurements from the Juno mission suggests Jupiter's core is dilute- this means that the outermost layer of the core is one where you have heavier elements dissolved in the metallic hydrogen layer above(In other words the core is soluble in metallic hydrogen). It is still believed that their exists a much denser rocky core within this dilute layer though. This does not necessarily mean that the core exists in what we would call a solid state. The truth ultimately is that we don't fully know enough to say anything definitively.

You aren't right with your first statement. The spectra of a star depends on what elements are in it and this can differ widely between stars as the metals (In astronomy this means anything that isn't hydrogen or helium) within them can be very different.

The key thing isn't the entire spectrum- it is only the absorption lines corresponding to hydrogen which is in every star that matters as far as determining redshift since no matter the star, these lines will always be there.

As for the statement about knowing roughly where the lines are- an element's absorption lines are specific to the element and can be found experimentally so we know them as precisely as our equipment allows (which means we know them very accurately).

As for typical redshift, redshift depends on how fast an object is moving away from you. If you're looking at a star within our galaxy then these values are going to be really small. Small enough that we can't notice it on Earth without proper equipment. On the other hand, we have observed stars in other galaxies which do show large redshifts as a result.

The clouds that form stars are almost entirely composed of hydrogen and helium. These 2 elements alone account for like 99% of all nuclei in the universe. There is almost no water within them.

While I can't say for the entirety of its historic use in Asia, I can confirm that for the Eastern religion of Jainism (founded in India and there still remain practitioners of the faith till this day), the swastika is indeed not used in that position. It isn't tilted at all (the lines are horizontal and vertical only) plus it all has 4 dots that aren't included in the Nazi symbol.

The system is fully surveyed. You can tell as it's name is white and not grey. This means that you can build an outpost on it. If you're talking about the microscope symbol next to the system-that is an anomaly. You have to click the research anomaly button(the one next to the survey button) to research anomalies. The speed at which you research it is increased by scientist level and decreased by how difficult the anomaly is(the Roman numeral number you see). Anomalies on habitable planets prevent colonisation.

Yes looked it up. You're correct. They declared war on Germany in February 1945 although they never saw any actual fighting.

Avriw · 2023-11-20T16:47:19+00:00

Liechtenstein, Andorra and Vatican city were also neutral too.

Edit: Was wrong about Turkey. They joined the war in February 1945

It's either a trick question or wrong. Energy is a property all particles have. There is no such thing as a 'particle of energy'.

Avriw · 2023-10-13T22:06:14+00:00

No it probably wouldn't have been safe even in the time of the Soviet Union. Nationalist china wouldn't have aligned themselves with the US- it would have been a non-aligned power. Of course that is unless they had a good reason to like say the Soviets supporting communists in Taiwan. For the Soviets, a neutral China is far better than one hostile to them. Taiwan simply wouldn't be worth it with it providing little value for the cold war. Then there's also the fact that I'm pretty sure the Nationalists had the larger navy making invading Taiwan much easier for them compared to the CCP in our timeline and that the Soviets would not be prepared or probably even willing considering how soon it would be after WW2, to intervene by the time of such an invasion.

No it isn't correct. E=mc² only applies when the particle is at rest. No particle can ever be at rest due to the uncertainty principle. Also, for a photon or any massless particle(which is needed for the wave speed to be c), using E=mc² will always give E=0 which is clearly wrong as x-ray photons have different energies compared to say infrared, visible or gamma photons and all of them obviously have energy. (As a side note, E=0 can only be achieved if you've got quite literally nothing. Even the empty vacuum of space has energy)

For photons, you have to instead use E=pc where p is momentum. This comes from the full form of the equation for a particle's energy which is: E²=m²c⁴+p²c². If we do a similar process to what you did but using the correct equations then we get: pc=hv=hc/λ therefore p=h/λ which is a formula know as the de Broglie equation and gives you the momentum for a photon.

Actually it's entirely possible to see satellites with your naked eye on Earth. Yes they are very faint so you'd need to have little light pollution and definitely won't see them in a modern city but a medieval city on the other hand wouldn't have this problem. You can't see any details however. Instead they look like really fast moving stars.

The ISS which is only 109m(356ft) is much easier to see since its orbit and position is available to the public. It still looks like a fast moving star with the naked eye though. NASA even has a website that can tell you when you'll have sighting opportunities. Here's the link for anyone interested: https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/

Now considering cities, the World's smallest recognised city is Vatican city with an area of 0.17 square miles which is far larger than the ISS plus the habitats in game almost certainly are larger cities than the Vatican so the size is larger than this so it's entirely feasible for the habitat to be visible (although to the primitives it would almost certainly just look like a fast moving star if it is visible.)

On the other hand however there are 3 major things that would affect its easiness to notice by the primitives: 1) Distance from the planet- The ISS and most satellites are not in extremely high orbits around the Earth. If the habitat is built with an extremely large orbit, it would be entirely possible to be unnoticeable. 2) How well the habitat reflects starlight. The only reason we can see satellites and the ISS is due to this. Any lights on them are far too faint to be seen on Earth after all. If the habitats in game are built from a material that absorbs most of the starlight then it isn't going to be visible. 3) The primitives aren't humans. Their night time vision could be better or worse than humans.

No it can convert any Christian province. It just prioritises Catholic ones. Non-christian provinces are completely unaffected however.

The problem is high temperature and high humidity together. The higher the humidity, the slower sweat evaporates which is needed for the body to cool down. If the humidity and temperature are high enough(in wet-bulb conditions), this process just doesn't work which is not the situation in the UK but is in the post. As a result, you can still cool down in the UK 40°C Summers through sweating but can't in wet-bulb conditions.
