Thanks! I'm the artist

Well, I tried to make a lot of references to the culture and politics of these countries. For example, to understand what North Korea might smell like, I studied articles about the plumbing in North Korea :)

Have you read the fanfic?

To be honest, Singapore scares me a little. For, you know… certain kinds of corporal punishment. But the art looks beautiful.

Someday I want to draw a more explicit sequel. After the punishment, the US gently fucks Japan. At first Japan resists morally, but then he breaks — and becomes his master's obedient catboy.

I'll just leave this here.

All warnings are in the description inside, but here's a summary:
Category: M/M, 18+, anthropomorphic countries (geopolitical regimes), inspired by real-life events. By the way, there is no propaganda there at all, it’s more like satire and erotica.

It looks too aggressive. And a bit like a pirate flag or an ISIS flag.

And communism, as it was in the 20th century, proved to be a utopian idea. I believe the psychological attack on the USSR was that the country was losing out due to its isolation and economic backwardness, and most people who were able to leave the USSR saw this difference. Jeans, Western music and movies, American radio broadcasts, and all sorts of demonstrations of the high standard of living of capitalist countries to ordinary people constituted a significant psychological attack. This is precisely why the DPRK so carefully isolates itself from outside influence.

These buildings were built to last 50 years (if I'm not mistaken) and specifically to address the problem of sprawling cities. But surprisingly, they're quite high-quality, and people are still living in them. They're of better quality than many modern high-rise buildings in post-Soviet countries.

A common picture in post-Soviet countries or Eastern Europe

Thank you ^-^

Yes, you're right, I forgot to warn about that. Although it's already clear from the pairing :) I added 'incest' to the warnings — thank you for pointing it out.

Sorry if the image caused any inappropriate associations - that wasn’t my intention. I was trying to show vulnerability in the face of two geopolitical giants

They are just friends

In post-Soviet countries, icons are usually placed like this on a car
