" the land of the free and the home of the brave became the land of the batshit and the home of the what the fuck are you doing stop shooting at me where did you even get that gun you're twelve years old!"
The Red Nation/Free World/: The Red Nation, also known as the Free World, is a sprawling, powerful, and expansionist nation dominating North and Siberia in the 2400 ad. Its history is steeped in conflict, and its military might is formidable, advanced missile, chemical, and biological weaponry. This vast arsenal is a constant threat to its neighbors and a tool for internal control.
The Red Nation is ruled by Zion. Zion’s power isn't derived from traditional politics, but question might rise (if you already finish the story), do Zion is a fascist? like the Austrian painter with funny mustache?, he dont need to be a fascist if dont have a opposition.especially if he gain influence from the spectacle of the colosseum.
Zion as an Exploiter of Social Anxieties: Zion as someone who understands and exploits the anxieties of his people. Perhaps the constant warfare, the scarcity of resources, and the collapse of the old world order have created a deep sense of insecurity and fear. Zion uses the colosseum and his rhetoric to channel these anxieties towards external enemies or internal scapegoats, maintaining his power.
A twelve-time consecutive champion of the arena's deadly battle royales, Zion’s victories have cemented his absolute authority. This system, where success in gladiatorial combat translates to political influence, creates a ruthless hierarchy where only the strongest survive and thrive.
The gladiatorial combat in the colosseum could be seen as a way to release societal tensions. It provides a spectacle of violence that distracts people from their problems and gives them a sense of vicarious power. This is similar to how the Nazis used rallies and propaganda to create a sense of national unity and purpose.
The nation's culture is a strange blend of advanced 24th-century technology and brutal primitivism.Music, particularly black metal, plays a significant role in shaping the national identity, often used as a tool for propaganda and emotional manipulation, especially on the youth. From a young age, citizens are indoctrinated into this philosophy, with radicalization beginning as early as twelve years old, birthday parties are… interesting. While vestiges of advanced technology remain, particularly in the entertainment industry, where virtual reality allows citizens to experience the thrill of freedom without, you know, actually being free.
the focus is on control and distraction. Virtual worlds offer citizens an escape, a place to vent emotions and live out fantasies, effectively functioning as a state-sanctioned opiate, pacifying the population and diverting their attention from the harsh realities of their lives.
The political landscape of the Red Nation is one of controlled anarchy. While Zion holds absolute power, the vast territory is divided into autonomous provinces, each governed by local strongmen who pay tribute to the central authority. It's like letting a bunch of toddlers play with loaded toys, but with Zion as the babysitter holding the automatic rifle.
This system creates a constant power struggle, with local leaders vying for influence and resources, keeping the nation in a state of perpetual tension. This "autonomy" is a carefully crafted illusion. While provinces manage their internal affairs, the central government maintains ultimate control through strategic manipulation, military force, and economic leverage.
The Red Nation’s society is deeply stratified. Status and power are determined by success in the colosseum or advancement within the military. This creates a culture of competition and violence, where individuals are driven to prove their worth through brutal means. While some dream of escaping the system or joining a resistance movement, most are trapped in a cycle of survival, seeking temporary respite in state-sponsored entertainment like the colosseum games and the virtual worlds. Extensive propaganda and limited access to real information keep the majority of the population ignorant of alternatives, reinforcing their dependence on the regime.
You might ask. but wait how about its people intelectual? the nerd guy? they might tell the uneducated about truth right?, Yes and no.
you see. Red nation Ancestor is developing political Brainrot. the idea is bombing people with conspiracy theory. mindless entertainment 24/7 on their media. This manufactured ignorance makes people apathetic; they simply ignore whatever happens around them. This climate discourages intellectual action, the few thinkers feeling powerless against the billions spent by the government on their media machine.
The Red Nation’s government employs even more direct propaganda, with a clear tagline: “Zion will conquer the world.” This simple message, ironically, became the cure for the "brainrot" disease, though it still operates on similar principles of manipulation.
“you might question. what is main different between brainrot and shitpost? well. brainrot is the currated shitpost, well i know its debatable. but anyway.”

They justify their authoritarian rule by emphasizing national security and economic efficiency, using state-controlled media and education to shape public perception and suppress dissent. The regime co-opts individual ambition by allowing citizens to pursue wealth and success within strictly defined parameters, rewarding those who align with the government's agenda. Dissenters are systematically blacklisted and ostracized, facing economic hardship and imprisonment, serving as a stark warning to anyone considering challenging the established order.
To further solidify their grip on power and promote a pro-war sentiment, the Red Nation employs seven key committees:
* Radio Committee: Broadcasts patriotic music, war news, and soldier interviews, glorifying military service and demonizing enemies.
* High School Contest Committee: Organizes competitions promoting military values and preparedness, such as marksmanship training and patriotic essay contests.
* Book Burning Committee: Eliminates books deemed anti-war or subversive, controlling narratives and ensuring loyalty.
* Library Committee: Curates libraries with pro-war literature and educational materials, shaping young minds towards militarism.
* Game Committee: Designs and promotes video games and other interactive media that normalize and glamorize violence and war.
* Shop Committee: Offers discounts and privileges to veterans and active military personnel, incentivizing service and creating a social hierarchy that rewards it.
* Movie Committee: Produces pro-war films, indoctrinating citizens and normalizing the concept of constant conflict.
This combination of brutal leadership, a culture of violence, advanced technology used for control, and sophisticated propaganda makes the Red Nation a formidable and dangerous power in the 2400ad
The Khaganate
war machine is portrayed as relying on propaganda and a warped sense of historical destiny "revive Pax Mongolica"
the erosion of traditional values like love, charity, and brotherhood in society, replaced by a glorification of violence, the "superman" ideal, and social Darwinism ("survival of the fittest"). This created a fertile ground for extremist ideologies.
Its all start when Warlord Wu as remnant of once a China Government. had fun idea put exosuit soldier with a jetpack. its quickly overwhelming the other warlord until his rival start having anti air missile. which make him change his direct attention turn to other continent, since that land still lack of cohesion on their defense.
WW3 start, when people from civilian to military rank. is distrust each other. and 70 year later. hatred still exist on their dna, Wu exploit this. then passing the bering strait and take the west coast till reach mexico, then he meet Zion and so on.
After Wu demise on Zion hand. Zion manipulating Wu follower and act by allying and supporting them. then new faction born The Blood Khaganate, they clearly a fascist faction. but if you ask why? its because fascist government is was easier to control by Zion. complex idea to Economic Domination and Imperialism is hard to grasp. but saying if your race is greater than other is easier to explain, Wu son who had nickname “Juggernaut” , believe in Zion and fight for him, without clear knowledge if he was just his puppet.

the Red nation new Religion worship Caesar. the civilization which use rhetoric is dated back to the roman era. they used their traditional polytheistic religion to justify war, mix faith and their expansionist policies, often framing them as a "civilizing mission." Here's how:
1. Religious Rituals and Omens:
Consulting the Gods: Before declaring war, the Romans would consult their gods through various rituals, such as interpreting omens (auspices) from the flight of birds or examining the entrails of sacrificed animals. If the omens were favorable, it was seen as divine approval for the war.
Fetial Priests: The Fetial priests were a college of priests responsible for conducting rituals related to declaring war and making peace. They would perform specific ceremonies to ensure that the war was just and had the support of the gods.
2. Divine Ancestry and Patronage:
Myth of Romulus and Remus: The myth of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, being raised by a wolf and descended from the god Mars (god of war) provided a divine lineage for the Roman state and its military endeavors.
Specific Deities and War: Certain deities, such as Mars, Jupiter (king of the gods), and Minerva (goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare), were closely associated with war and were invoked to ensure victory.
3. "Civilizing Mission" and Romanitas:
Spreading Roman Culture: The Romans believed that their culture and way of life (Romanitas) were superior to those of other peoples. They saw their conquests as a way of bringing civilization, law, and order to conquered territories.
Incorporating Conquered Peoples: While conquest could be brutal, the Romans also had a policy of incorporating conquered peoples into their empire, granting them citizenship and allowing them to participate in Roman society. This was seen as a way of "civilizing" them and making them part of the Roman world.
4. Religious Syncretism and Adaptation:
Adopting Local Deities: The Romans were often willing to adopt and incorporate the deities of conquered peoples into their own pantheon. This was a way of integrating conquered territories and creating a sense of shared religious identity.
Interpreting Foreign Religions: They would often interpret foreign religions in terms of their own religious framework, finding parallels between their gods and those of other cultures (interpretatio Romana).
Borte and Baikonur Cosmodrome
First up, Börte (pronounced kinda like "Bur-tay") was a super important figure in Mongolian history. She was the main wife of Temüjin,
Think of it like this: Genghis Khan was out conquering the world and building his massive empire, and Börte was holding down the fort back home. She wasn't just sitting around, though. She was a key advisor to Genghis, and when he was away, she helped manage things and keep the empire running smoothly. So, she was a total badass and a major player in the Mongol Empire's success. Woman in nomad society is more equal than feminist trying to do today
Baikonur Cosmodrome. This place is basically a space launch center, like where they send rockets and spaceships into orbit. It's located in Kazakhstan, which is in Central Asia.
first and largest space launch facility in the world. It's got a long history, too. The Soviets started building it back in the 1950s, and it's where they launched Sputnik (the first artificial satellite) and Yuri Gagarin (the first human in space).
