Why didn't other men, Dwarves, elves, or Orcs take up residence in an otherwise unoccupied land?
Because of the travel times involved, you need to have local concentrations of force across your territory so you can react to situations as they crop up. And to have effective leadership in a crisis, you need people in situ to lead those forces. Trouble is, what happens when those local forces become more loyal to their commander than to the central government, and that commander starts to have ambitions?
As a historical parallel, the Roman Empire went through a long phase (the crisis of the third century) of provincial generals being acclaimed Caesar by their troops and them marching on Rome. Stability only returned by subdividing the Empire into more easily managed units (the Tetrarchy, and then the split betwen Eastern and Western Empire. I am not a historian , don't @ me ;))
I could not find an answer to my question online, so I thought some experts on obscure citizenship inheritance laws on this sub might be able to help. This question is more for potential citizenship for my father, for whom I hope (though don't expect) some latent dual nationality eligibility might be possible. His maternal (hence my lack of hope) grandparents immigrated to the USA from what was the Kingdom of Bohemia (modern Czechia) within Austria-Hungary, some time between 1900 and 1913. Old US census documents even list their birthplace as "Austria", while others list "Bohemia", the conflict likely due to confusion on the part of different years' census takers.
Anyway, what were the laws regarding citizenship of inhabitants of what is now Czechia/Czech Republic? The preamble to the Czech constitution states that the modern country is the successor to the Kingdom and of Czechoslovakia. Is this represented in their nationality law? All I could gather from an online search pertains to "Czech citizens", which is ambiguous given the multiple regime changes in the last century, and nothing about whether leaving the country automatically would have lost a person their citizenship (like German citizenship before 1914), or if my grandmother (a fluent Czech speaker but born in the USA around 1913) could have even passed on latent Czech nationality to my father (born in the USA in the 1950's).
As a sign of good faith, that I am not just trying to scrounge for E.U. citizenship and avoid integrating, I have visited the Czech Republic a few times when I lived in a neighboring country for a year, and I speak a different European language at a basic level, but not quite fluently (I don't want to go into detail for that, just to stay anonymous). My family also has many friends in yet another country that neighbors Czechia, so it wouldn't be inconceivable for my parents to move to Czechia for retirement and integrate as best as possible at that age. I know all this is immaterial to the law, I just want to make it clear that I'm not arrogantly trying to claim a convenient E.U. citizenship and then bail to the South of France!
Thank you for your time!
I am just curious as Iβd like to do a play through as the Golden Horde
No worries if you change your mind later, I probably will
Successor State: Draconis Combine
Periphery State: Magistracy of Canopus
Unit: It's a toss up between the Ghost Regiments and Amphigean LAGs at the moment.
I love "political record" but with it and "a Young Woman Journey to avoid Totalitarians" i am quite tired of stories like that.
I prefer stories like Deliquency record, where Tanya doesn't give much of a shit about it and go in others nations (for example, she currently reside into the Youjo senki equivalent of the Ottoman Empire).
There is such potential with this World.
So, do you know ones ?
It is a common spiel by the hungarian communist worker's party's (just Worker's Party since 2013) that the fight for LGBT rights is western imperialism, and such they oppose it and vote for removing the rights of transgender people to change their names as most recent example.
Poland, Russia, Czechy are quite similar in this regard.
Russian federation as a successor state for Soviet Union (+ small splinters) is infamous for its bigotry and the violence enacted against minority groups (Chechyna, St. Petersburg).
Why is it, that outside the Western countries, economic left is socially regressive? And even for Western countries, the British Labour party contains a fair number of bigoted individuals too.
Why isn't Mutualism thought more popular? (Mutualist being intersectional).
I am asking, as this tendency is a major reason I am more of a social democrat than socialist or communist. Mutualism is something I look towards to as an "Ideal", but I cannot really support it with how its tenets can be taken towards eastern socialism/communism.

Something weird to think about is that Liechtenstein is essentially the successor state or rump state of the HRE. Like you guys have existed almost the same way as you always have (well except you have direct democracy now), you are the only one of former member states (of the HRE) that still exist and continue to be a monarchy and proudly sees itself as feudal (well sort of, at least in a traditional sense and spirit anyway, in practice you aren't but you are somewhat fashioned like a modern feudal country).
It's kinda funny to think about lol.
P.s. I haven't been but your country seems amazing. I'd love to go at some point
And who could be a successor to each breton leader ? (Mordrel died OTL in 1985, Delaporte in 1990 and LainΓ© in 1983)
With today's reveal of Cyberdark World we now know all the new cards that will be included in the Cyber Style's Successor Structure Deck (Structure Deck: Cyber Strike for those of us in the TCG). The purpose of this post is to discuss how the new support affected the Cyberdark archetype, I will not be commenting on the Cyber Dragon side of things since I'm not a CyDra player but I'm guessing the new support does nothing for Cyber Dragons; thankfully, that's not the case for Cyberdarks.
###Claw and Cannon, 3 years later
With Legendary Duelists in 2017, Cyberdarks received their first wave of direct support in over 10 years. Cyberdarkness Dragon along with Cyberdark Claw, Cannon and Inferno had huge implications for the deck. Claw and Cannon especially had major potential and solved a lot of issues the deck faced; they now had searchers and amazing equip targets that could continue generating advantage through milling and setting up for future plays. However, the deck was still Cyberdown... bad; Cyberdarkness was almost impossible to get out consistently, Claw was only able to search 2 Spells (one of which sucked) and Cannon could only search for the 3 OG Cyberdarks, which were nothing impressive. But the implications that Claw and Cannon had were major, moving forward every Cyberdark card would be searchable and every Extra Deck monster with a GY effect could be used as a tech. These 2 cards (Claw more than Cannon) changed the way Cyberdarks would play forever.
###The new cards
Cyber Style's Successor introduces 7 new cards, here's a breakdown of each of them:
Let's get this one out of the way first. TLDR; it does absolutely nothing for the deck. We got another revival tool that is arguably better and less clunky to run, another recycling tool through PSY-Framelord Omega being milled by Claw and the Cyberdark fusions are already protected either by Inferno or their own effects. Don't bother with this card in Cyberdarks.
What every Cyberdark player wanted, a Power Bond searcher! /s. I do feel kinda bad that Cyber Dragons didn't get their long-awaited (good Pharos was a mistake) Power Bond searcher, but it is what it is. Honestly, its search effect isn't amazing for pure Cyberdarks, the deck doesn't really benefit
Iβm imagining Cascadia and California would be your basic tech executiveβ¦all namaste and weβre improving humanity but at the same time nefarious as fuck
The UCS would be run by a Joel Osteen or Rick Warren type
Pastor Mike is basically Jerry Falwell brought back to life.
The AmFed would be run by the kind of right center Democrat who plays golf with the top CEOs every weekend but ducks out for the occasional photo op doing a boilermaker at some bar because his dad βgot up to work the millβ every morning.
Honest question, even if my delivery is designed to be memey as shit. Mainly because I had done research on Savinkov and to say his political views where...uh, shall we say exotic is an understatement.
After doing my 100th play through of Russia and proceeding to get rid of the Duma and Senate; I thought that the US and whatever nation ends up winning could use a system like that. Imagine trying to get bills passed during the pre-war period and having to ally with either Huey or Bill trying to pass bills. Maybe if enough bills were passed that favored one of the βradicalβ factions, they would agree not to rise up in the Civil War. If Huey wins the election, in the buildup to the war, he can either be a more right wing president to try and steal support from Murray or he can act as a more left-wing president to steal support from Haywood and the Progressive party.
i'm putting together a campaign where the players are chalcas, fleeing Jade Falcon on a Comitatus jumpship. one of them, being from canopus, convinced the rest to head there to seek asylum due to their longstanding policy of granting citizenship to any and all fleeing persecution.
the problem: they start the campaign on Ambrose, just outside the jade falcon occupation zone cir. 3066. the quickest rout requires 35 jumps and takes them through Lyran space and the Free Worlds League. in the lyran case they would have to pass right by Tharkad, and i don't know if the archon would be okay with a jade falcon jumpship passing within one jump of the capital unmolested. also, the first two jumps are in systems firmly occupied by jade falcon forces. so that's right out.
the other, saner option, is to keep to the periphery, sort of skirting around the Lyran Alliance, resupplying in the Rim Collection and Circinus federation, then from there passing through either the marian hegemony or just making a B-line to Canopus through the FWL.
I'm curious as to which option would be more dangerous, and what procedures are there to get through more effectively.
also, even if you keep to the spaces between the stars, you're still going to need to replenish food and fuel periodically. that requires jumping into an inhabited system and performing trade or piracy. both generate unwanted attention from actors who may not be interested in hearing them out.
I'm also curious on whether the successor states utilize anything like tolls, tariffs, or fees on foreign vessels moving through their territory. I haven't read anything on that but that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
for their part, the comitatus is basically a heavy jolly roger, with space for twenty ASFs and enough weaponry and armor to spank an overlord.
space battles will be frequent enough but i want it to be plausible and neatly sidestep the default of "and then WoB fanatics reenact the Tripitz incident."
