Deeply disgusted by the most recent proclamation of supposed universal and self-evident privileges of man,

Affirming the inherent sovereignty possessed by each immortal of each civilisation,

Noting the common adoption of autocratic forms of governance and the all-encompassing state,

1. Proclaims that the tenets of autocratic governance and a strong stable state to be the universal goal for all societies and states;

2. Affirms the right for each immortal to fully utilise the manpower, labour and intellectual capacity of their nation and that the common goal of all states to serve their immortal, to muster resources for the nation and to bolster the state,

3. Encouraging all citizens of the various states of the Cylinder to provide work to the growth of their civilisation, and by proxy, the world by the means seen fit by each state and government;

4. Recommends all states take on the path of an efficient mixed economy with strong regulations to bolster one's nation

5. Further Recommends all governments engaged in the attempt to destroy their own efficiency through feeding into greeds of a supposed underclass or by encouraging reckless impulses to govern their country heed their nations' call to bolster its strength first;

6. Congratulates all states and immortals who see it fit to organise their society hierarchically in a way that procures the greatest benefit to their state through all-encompassment;

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Hello! Last time I made a civ idea for the Oyo Empire which got some positive feedback, so I'm making another civ idea. Today I will be showing my civilisation idea for the Siamese who resided in today's Thailand.

Note: I am still not a historian but I did my best to research Siamese history to make the best civilisation I can make.

--------------------------------------The justification of bonuses using histery -------------------------------------

My Siamese civ has been based mostly on the Sukhothai (1238-1438) and Ayutthayan (1350-1767) Kingdoms in south-east Asia. They had the in-game Malay to their south, the Khmer and Vietnamese to their east and the Burmese to their north-west.

The Sukhothai Kingdom began as a trade center in Lavo under the Khmer Empire until they revolted in 1238 with the leadership of Bang Klang Hoa, who later took the name of Si Inthrathrit. Because the Sukhothai Kingdom began as a trade center, the Siamese have access to all Market upgrades.

The Ayutthaya Kingdom began as a small city state with the fortified city of Ayutthaya as its capital until it expanded to encorporate Sukhothai into the Kingdom in 1438 and and sacked the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor, in 1431. Since the Kingdom was quite large at this point the King would send a prince or relative to govern each city with each one swearing alliegance and loyalty to the king. Because each town or city had such important people governing them the Siamese have 25% cheaper Town Centers.

The Siamese were avid users of rice fields and so never lacked a rich food supply. From the 13th-15th centuries rice growth was transformed to include floating rice in flooded areas in the south and glutinous rice in the north and north east. Rice was very abundant so the Siamese sold it abroad via canals dug from the fields to the ports. In the process mud flats between the sea and firm land previously considered unsuitable for habitation was reclaimed and cultivated. This is why Siamese Farmers have access to full upgrades and why Battle Elephants, Knights are affected by the Supplies technology.

The Siamese army was made up mostly of infantry supported by cavalry, elephant and artillery corps. The elephants had a warrior sitting atop them who carried a Ngao with a curved end to command the elephant and sharp end to use as a blade during battle. **This is why the Siamese have fully upgraded champions, battle elephants, cavaliers and bombard cannons. The Siamese als

There are people who desire to return their monarchs and movements like this are most common in Romania, Bulgaria, Iran, Afghanistan, Brazil and Germany. However many ask why are there no monarchist movements in India or Pakistan? My answer is that the people have no memory of being ruled by a monarch (except for the British), however the many ethnic groups in India and Pakistan did have rulers of their own ethnic kingdoms whom were called Princely States. These Princely States were vassals and protectorates of the British Raj, Mughal Empire and Maratha Empire whom all ruled the Indian Subcontinent long ago.

Plus Pakistan and India were colonial creations of the authorities of the British Raj. The reason of their creation was due to idiotic ideological and religious differences the Hindu Indian National Congress and their former friends/hated enemies the Muslim League. The reason these two political parties were enemies was because their peoples were enemies for generations. The Hindus were enemies of the Muslims because in many Hindu majority regions, Muslims were victims to ethnic cleansing and the Muslims were enemies of the Hindus because the Hindus were oppressed under Muslim aristocrats and autocratic Muslim monarchs for thousands of years. This and the Kashmir region dispute were reasons why the partition and the constant wars between the two nations is a thing in OTL.

Origin of Partition (India was never unified as one nation)

India was never a united nation as many would like to think, India was nothing more than multiple kingdoms waging war with each other. These Kingdoms were created by ethnic groups with different cultural and religious backgrounds that had a habit of not getting along with their neighbors and constantly waging war with each other. There were many empires throughout India's history that tried to create a united India, but it never worked because the rulers of those Empires always had opposition against them which made centralization really hard. The only Empires that came close to creating a fully united India were the Mughal Empire and the Maratha Empire. The Mughals were successful due to their Persian Emperors (whom are descendants of the Persian Emperor Tamerlane) adapting to the culture of India, but sadly they were Islamic like their predecessors, the rulers of the Sultanate of Delhi and they lost wars to various rivals and to the British. The Marathas created an Empire that was secular and tolerated the practices of

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms

There hasn't been a post all year!

It was about a weak back.

US had heavy German immigration at the turn of the century. What if pro-German politicians come to power. During WW1 US decides to support the Central Powers as their Crown Prince had been assasinated.

US keeps selling weapons to Germany and does not recognize UK blockade of Germany. This leads to the Royal Navy sinking an American freighter bringing weapons to Germany.

US public is outraged that a civilian freighter was sunk and demands war against the UK.

The war starts in 1915 with a Naval landing against Toronto, Halifax and Vancouver along with an overland attack on Quebec City and Montreal

UK retaliates by interning Americans in Hong Kong as well as Diggers from Australia landing on Luzon. The Phillipine freedom fighters welcome the British help and soon Philippines is a UK protectorate. Guam is taken soon. A fleet is on its way to Hawaii.

Mexico now allies with Britain and turns over the Vera Cruz naval base to Triple Entente. The British Caribbean fleet moves over to Vera Cruz and proceeds to blockade Houston and New Orleans.

The British control the Caribbean but the Atlantic is contested and Canada has surrendered.

The French fleet in the Caribbean joins up at Vera Cruz and a joint command is setup. For the duration of hostilities the Dutch, Danish and French colonies are put under UK-French joint command

A landing on Cuba is accompanied by a local revolt against poor working conditions in the US Sugar plantations. Soon Cuba has a pro-UK govt. Puerto Rico is taken soon and joined with Cuba. The various Spanish speaking Central American countries join Mexico.

The US Canal Zone garrison is blockaded on the Atlantic side.

UK has meanwhile taken Hawaii and a fleet is on the way to blockade the Canal Zone from the West.

Chile now comes in on the UK side and sends its battleships North. They have a long history of cooperating with the British navy.

Meanwhile the British have been sending a couple of Divisions of troops who were sent to Serbia in OTL to Vera Cruz to defend Mexico againt US invasion. This means once Serbia falls, Greece also falls to the Bulgarians.

Bulgaria takes entire Macedonia , Turkey takes Thrace and all the Aegean islands. Austrian navy takes Crete and Cyprus and hands Cyprus over to the Turks but keeps Crete.

Austria also takes the Ionian Islands as well as the Dalmation coast.
