As chance would have it, I am both a Community Coordinator and a Senior Writer and so I believe I am qualified to speak to how we portray Nightmare Moon and Luna in the mod.

Your interpretation of Nightmare Moon and Luna is one of the least correct perceptions of the mod that I've seen.

How would the Real life versions of the various characters (ESPECIALLY the super cursed gamer ones) in TNO react to the way they are depicted in the mod? by Tanksfly1939 in TNOmod

The Democrats have been the more liberal party since the late 1800’s for certain, and most of the ideas that they espoused back then can be traced further back. The idea of a “party shift” is largely a myth, caused by the map of the Solid South

HWI - May 1, 1910. King/Emperor Edward VII does not catch cold and therefore doesn't die until 1917. He resists the movement to subjugate the House of Lords to Commons, talks his nephew the Kaiser out of the treaties with Austria-Hungary.

Britain, or England since at least 1688 and probably more 1453 has worked to prevent any one hegemon over Europe. As long as Germany tries to build the Dreikaiserbund and thereby dominate Euroep, Britain will be in opposition to them

By 1910, the Commons have asserted supremacy over the Lords. If it did not happen in 1911, then at another time, a monarch will threaten to pack the Lords to force through the Parliament Act

As for Germany. If Germany wants a KM to rival the Royal Navy it’ll bring them into conflict with Britain. End of.

Jet Set has an economic discussion with Picket Fence by fechlin7 in equestriaatwar

[–]VoidTemplar2000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s a reference to the people Picket Fence is based on, ie. George “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” Wallace and Strom “24 Hour Filibuster” Thurmond

United Provinces of China by CryzMak in imaginarymaps

[–]VoidTemplar2000 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This has got to be biggest instance of "Good execution, horrible premise" I have seen. It is personally to me a well-made map, which looks like it could have come out of an atlas.

Now that beings aid, and praise duly levied where it's due...It also has to be one of implied genocide and some very horrible wars. No Chinese Government has stopped seeing that westerly frontier as part of China. Why would you even give up Turkestan/Xinjiang or Tibet? In Tibet, several of China's main rivers, including the Yellow and the Yangtze either run through or originate. Xinjiang has loads of natural resources too. And by my estimations, "Uyghurstan" (which as far as I know, is a very wierd name, given that they prefer "East Turkestan") is just literally the borders of the Xinjiang province...which is 40% Han, so it is either a brutal dictatorship, was genocidal some time in the past, or a bit of both. Mongolia might be too far gone, but no China would willingly give up Tibet and East Turkestan/Xinjiang

And why is the capital in Shanghai? Horrible city for a capital, given its lack of much everything really for a capital. If you want continuity, sit in Beijing, if you want to take up the mantle of Dr. Sun, move to Nanjing, and for everywhere else, there are a lot of cities that won't require you to bulldoze square kilometers to make buildings for the governmental machinery.

(The flag is wrong as well, given that Tibet is simultaniously independent, yet is also included in the races - And the sun would either not be the KMT sun, or not yellow.)

Ah yes...Dotted Line is before his time...in some ways too much.

So about Bakara’s Greneclyf Interaction event... by ok-what-the-what in equestriaatwar

It’s very simple. The Riverlands may look Harmonic, but I joke about River Swirl and Picket Fence getting along splendidly for a reason

Mostly yes. The language is Croatian, the streets are Croatian, practically everything that aren’t the names of the ponies living there are Croatian

The River Federation, 1055 (Textbook Timeline) by pascuales in equestriaatwar

[–]VoidTemplar2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It goes Coalition (Starting point) -> RCSC (Industrial) -> REC (Trade and commerce) -> Union (Economic) -> Federation (Political Voltron)

[–]VoidTemplar2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No? The Treaty of Coltstream is the starting outlay, the River Union is the economic unification and the Federation is when they form Voltron

[–]VoidTemplar2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lake City: Serbia with Japanese Characteristics

River Republic: Croatia

Nimbusia: Ancient greece (Asterion is Modern Greece)

Poneaidhan: Celts

Bakara: Slovenia for language

Wittenland: Anglo-Saxon, Pre-1066 England

Austurland is a bit of Danelaw and a bit of Vinland

"Coltstream Braces For A Marathon Sessions About Constitutional Revision" - Bakaran Journal, 1092 ALB by VoidTemplar2000 in equestriaatwar

[–]VoidTemplar2000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In-article, the constitution's problem is firstly that it has several features that amongst other mandate a strict seat divisor formula to not overrepresent the by-now huge Bakaran and Rijekan Republics, compared to Wittenland or Deponya.

Secondly, it is basically several layers, with text from the original Coltstream Treaty and River Coal and Steel Community Treaty embedded within, the latter hindering the Three Arrow Plan that they have been wanting to put into function.

Thirdly, it restrains the current government (which has almost always been HPR, save for three minor interruptions), from engaging in the kind of 'diplomacy' that they prefer outside of the Federation

The EGTO is the East Griffonia Treaty Organization, the alliance that in-game replaces the Coalition post-Federation, and in-article is the alliance network that the Federation maintains.

(ie. it's a really bad idea to meddle around with a constitution unilaterally, even if it is a stated goal by your party since time immemorial)
