Re: The Earthling Humans [Gloguk Participant Race]
Cool. Sorry for bumping it like that. Was just hoping it wasn't dead, which it isn't!
Re: The Earthling Humans [Gloguk Participant Race]
FUCKING FINALLY. Europe was so complicated that even with a bit of country absorbing and merging it was a lot. I'm hoping to expand more on the countries I have, as this is just a general summary.
A summary on the European Special Administrative District
Gloguk Administrative Center: Sicily, Italy
Military Group: European Joint Operation Command (EJOC)
Extraterrestrial Holdings: Orbital space colonies in Jupiter, HQ/Embarkation bases on the Sigma-22 planetoid, Colonies in various parts of Alpha Centauri and Beyond thanks to the Poles
Flagship: The Battleship Le Jugement is a 700 meter long Battleship decked out in arrays of plasma cannons, missile tubes, and Railcannons to act like 16th-17th century ships, going right next to the enemy ships (being in space, "getting next to the enemy" means within a relatively short distance) and duking it out. Le Jugement has been known to sit its long metaphorical ass down in front of a JumpGate or planet and win alone against whole fleets by sheer attrition and volume of weaponry alone.
Things to note:
Cloning/Uploading: Due to the reduced population from the Tyxan invasion and the violent Dark Centuries following, cloning and uploading are quite common to increase the human population to galactic-warfare worth levels. While the technology is there, the Aeiou allows each country to choose how to approach this topic in political/social/cultural lines.
Economic Focus: While all countries have diverse economies with many regional resources, the Aeiou take note and groom the element that is most prevalent and could be beneficial for supplying an Earthling army in a galactic rampage.
Military Focus: What the nation could provide to the Gloguk if the Aeiou calls for a Galactic Conquest that demands the cooperation of all Earthling SADs in large quantities.
The Protectorate of the Isles
Comprised of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and England, the Isles are once again the Sea-faring Power. Armed with the best submersibles and Aerial Ships on Earth, the Isles are tasked with patrolling the seas for threats and keeping the various merchant fleets of the countries trading with each other. The Protectorate Marine Corps are one of the best in Earth and have protected merchant Fleets all across the continents. The Merchant Navy of the Isles which comprises both astrological and maritime trade, act not only as the lifeblood of global trade for the Isles but is also chartered as agents of the Protectorate, taking the roles of Intelligence Agency, Special Forces, and ambassadors of the Isles all across trade routes. Overseeing their defense is the Neo Model Army and its prefabricated Iron Fortresses that overlook the Isle landscape as well as defend When the Earthlings want to create and maintain trade routes in the sea and across the stars, the Isles are the premier choice in the task.
The French Socialist Republic
The French Socialist Republic, a decadent cultural and social utopia nearing Transhumanist level rising from the ashes of a techno-barbaric feudal system like a phoenix; high cuisine and fine wine; the AI known as JOIE maximizing economic input and output for the betterment of the peolpe; the Foreign Legion accepting all to their ranks to fight for Liberté, égalité, fraternité; Energy Exports to Europe enables extravagant entitlements; libertine/hedonistic/free behavior is common; Tyxan, Tybrids, and uploads achieve equal rights; achieving levels of progressivism not seen since before the Dark Centuries. France is starting to question Gloguk membership; Gloguk in French mind: Reactionary, superstitious, warmongering metaculture dedicated to maintaining an eternal struggle against another metaculture, when signs of alternative means of conflict resolution are available.
The Industrial German Confederation
Comprised of Germany, Austria, and the Bohemian half of the former Czech Republic, The Industrial Germanic Confederation is built on the mixture of ancient state of the art industrial arcologies during the System Defense Coalition years and the tribal nature of the survivors during the Dark Centuries. Corporate Chieftains in woad and a Jil Sander suit negotiate industrial deals for their factory arcology one day and wage tank warfare against his competition the next. Hordes of heavy weapon wielding labor unions and student demonstrations clash against mechanized Landsknecht companies for the future of the Arcologies. In the lower and forgotten levels of the Autobahn 2.0 network death races and destruction derbies are common as speed clans fight for their turf and to showcase their latest Mad Max-esque vehicles. At least there is Oktoberfest to look forward to.
The Nordic Thing
The Nordic Thing, Thing being the old Nordic assembly system that comprised many of the Norse governmental systems, is a resurrection of Viking culture in a more modern time. Comprised of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the Faroe Islands, The Nordic Thing are a bunch of local governments under the rule of locally elected Jarls, who in turn choose a High King among them. Roving spaceships full of warriors in powerful Battlesuits and wielding fearsome melee weapons plunder the galaxy for loot, all under the blessing of the Gloguk. Cybernetic and mysterious women warriors name Valkyries join the battle with their arsenal of electroblades and beam rifles, using powerful uploading and brain flashing technology to bring the strongest warriors back from the dead in the form of powerful and titanic JOTNAR mechanoid shells and VALHALLA Operating Systems that allow the echoes of the brave to help guide the living warriors.
Republic of Finland
Composed of outcasts and former thralls of the Nordic Thing, the Republic of Finland is ever vigilant against both the barbaric Nordic Thing and whatever madness comes out of the Russian SAD. The Finnish Defense Force are still composed of conscripts and the Rk 62m Assault Rifle is still the mainstay service rifle, but helping the Finnish now are half-animal/half-plant Mielikkii who sleep as normal great trees but in times of danger can uproot themselves and wreck tanks and spew acidic sap at enemies. Fueled by opulent amounts of coffee and armed with deadly custom-made Puukko knives, the Finns will defend their democratic republic to the death. There is a saying in the Finnish Defense Force whenever anyone invades them that "the wolves will eat well this year".
The Baltic States
Comprised of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the former Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad, the Baltic States' main focus is to keep whatever goes on in the Russian Special Administrative Zone in the Russian Special Administrative Zone. To that end, the Baltic Defense Force is versatile for any situation, preferring modular weapon platforms over weapons already built for purpose. This allows the Baltic States to act as a placeholder in any Galactic Conquest. But do not be fooled by this "jack of all trades, master of none" image that the Baltic States give off. To name a few of their accomplishments: Achieved all the objectives of a Galactic Conquest comprised only of Baltic soldiers, got fed up with the War of the Three Technocrats in Moscow and single highhandedly stopped all three mad scientists, managed to retrieve a designated package in the Free Arm spiral without causing several wars and a hundred incidents, killed the King in Yellow, exterminated a dozen Tyxan-created monstrosities in the Arctic Ocean in a single weak with only two casualties, and most impressive of all, were able to persuade the extra-dimensional and timeless AI known as O1D+45 to alter reality a bit so anyone BUT fucking Brazil won the FIFA cup of that year with a little nudge towards the Baltic States.
The Iberian SuperState
Born from the ancient spy wars of African turmoil and the final great War during the days before the System Defense Coalition, the Iberian SuperState is the new place to be for anything worth happening to happen. The impressive and extremely expensive Space Elevator that supplies and maintains the huge space freighters in orbit is located in Iberia, and hundreds of space docks attached to the looming Elevator houses and services many smaller ships that can afford to touch atmosphere. Arcologies full of all types of services and commerce exist in the shadow the Space Elevator, which in turn is surrounded by scenic towns and pristine national parks. Spymaster schools semi openly operate, ready to spy for the Iberian Government as well as for the highest bidders. Lovers in the academies turn into bitter enemies in the alleyways of cities like Madrid, Barcelona, or Lisbon. Secret agents from all over collide and collude under the shadow of the symbol of the Elevator, Symbol of New Hopes.
The Holy Republic of Italy
Armored Riot Legionnaires with airburst shields and concussive batons clash with CyberGoths and Body Vandals as the horticulture factories and wine labs continue to pump out food and fine dining into the rest of the world. The Roman Catholic Church, now one of the most powerful NGOs in the world, houses its own Templar regiments, lone hermits with large guns dishing out divine retribution, Martial Nun Convents, Swiss Guards equipped small mechs, and even a Papal Fleet with a "PopeRocket". The Cosa Nostra have begun expanding into the stars, dealing in galactic-level drug trades and alien specimen trafficking. Family run cottage industries have become million Lira dynasties as all across the galaxy Italian craftsmanship in things like textiles and the arts are greatly sought after. The Holy Republic deals in both virtue and sin.
The Benelux Union
Guns, chocolate, quaint towns, and hookers! The Benelux Union is an scenic, almost Arcadian land with massive funds put into repairing damage done during the Dark Centuries. Comprised of Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg, the Benelux Union have managed to avoid internal strife that has occurred in many of its fellow European states. One reason is that Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal, a Belgian arms company with a long history, has been producing many cheap and time-tested small arm designs such as the FN-FAL, FN P90, and FN SCAR which are in high demand with both historical buffs, private citizens, and budget-minded warlords of both human and alien product in need of guns to arm their two-bit insurgents and militia. The Sex Industry is also an important factor in the Benelux Union's wealth, with prostitution being legal and filled with species of all types, ready to do all types of things both common...and experimental.
The Hellenic Democratic States
Phalanxes of Hoplites wielding long-ranged Lancer Rifles that can pierce through armor while protected by rare energy shields that grow stronger with proximity of each other, the Hellenic Democratic States comprises of both Greece and Macedonia to form a futuristic mish mash version of Ancient Hellenic culture and Plato's Ideal State: City-States run by technocrats and philosophers with varying degrees of democracy and tyranny, Eugenics, education highly based around culture and logic rather than blind patriotism, the rights and privileges of the "Free Citizen" vs the "Civilian" (Slave was considered politically incorrect for a Modern Earth), "servants" owned by the public like firefighters and police officers for the lower classes, a volunteer army filled with free men with a powerful prototype and cutting edge arsenal, and a revival of the old Greek religion in the form of the modern versionof Hellenism, which currently has a tense coexistence with the current Christian faiths. The Hellenic Democratic States, along with Greater Romania and the Grand Polish Imperium, are known as the "Marcher States" and are the first line of defense against incursions from the Holy Land Special Administrative District and thus like the other two buffer states the Hellenic Democratic States would be considered "off" by their more western neighbors for both political and social reasons.
Greater Romania
Under the rule of the Blood Lords, those unlucky survivors were tampered by Tyxans with a sense of humor o crave the blood of the living in exchange for dubious powers, Romania and Moldova were consolidated during the Dark Centuries. In return for blood and eternal servitude as serfs, the Blood Lords and their thralls protect their subjects from the warlords of the Holy Land and the terrors that terrorize the land in both day and night. While naturally incredibly powerful, the Blood Lords (also known as vampires by everyone outside of Greater Romania) suffer an extreme variant of Xeroderma Pigmentosum and thus can only operate in night time or sunless days. Helping the Blood Lords during the day are individuals who gain a temporary and diluted version of the Blood Lord's powers, transforming them into Vrykolakas, a monstrous entity with canine features. With the Blood Lords at night and the packs of Vrykolakas during the day watching the borders leading into the Holy Land administrative district and augmented by an outdated but loyal military force, Greater Romania has become something of a boogieman to even the most brutal warlord and has kept the more "civilized" and "modern" parts of Europe safe. One of the three Marcher States that serve as a buffer against the Holy Land SAD along with the Hellenic Democratic States and the Grand Polish Imperium.
Switzerland
While now a banking superpower in Earthling space, Switzerland is on a blazing path of rampage against the Varakeef for stealing their treasures from well before the Dark Centuries. Armed with the best of the best since the Swiss finances quite a few countries' bleeding edge R&D projects and gets a peek now and then, the Swiss will send out special mercenary groups (since they officially have only a militia system) to capture and interrogate Tyxans or Tyxan biodevices that have memories of the whereabouts of their ancient treasures. This desire, above all else, have been the primary driving force of Swiss relationship with the greater galaxy; tensions can heat up when Swiss mercenary units leave the battlefield to track down any signs of the stolen Lock Boxes that once were housed in great Swiss banks.
The Grand Polish Imperium
Sick and tired of being the butt of a long line of geopolitical jokes, the Poles have used the chaos that occurred during the Dark Centuries to conquer Hungary, Ukraine, Slovakia, Belarus, and the Moravian Parts of the Czech Republic. Defended and ruled by landed and nigh-immortal nano-enhanced Szlachtas, the Grand Polish Imperium extends its reach beyond Alpha Centauri, its colonies and influences touching into places like the Free Arm Spiral and closer into the Galactic Core. Winged Hussars, mainly comprised of these superpowered Szlachta nobles, ride sentient genetically modified horses and charge into battle with deadly and hi-tech Beam Lances. Whole Galactic Conquest fleets composed of mostly Polish vassal states have won whole sectors for the Gloguk, and the Polish Grand Space Fleet is said to be the queen of all of Europe's space fleets, numbering thousands in spacefaring vessels to wage an eternal and sleepless war against the Gloguk's enemies. The Grand Polish Imperium is one of the three Marcher States, along with Greater Romania and the Hellenic Democratic States.

I can imagine Anime Catholicism being a thing though in Japan and Vgar Ki space, though. And there is definitely Gun Kata somewhere in the mix.

Re: The Earthling Humans [Gloguk Participant Race]
Do the Greeks allow for freemen to work their way into becoming Citizens ala Imperial Rome or Heinlein's Terran Federation from the book Starship Troopers? Or are they stuck being freemen only?
Re: The Earthling Humans [Gloguk Participant Race]
For the most part, there is a way for people to become a voting citizen. It usually varies between City to City: having a technical college degree, serving in the military, being a military officer, scaring people to vote for you with diabolical war machines, being a philosopher, being of a certain gender, etc. etc. As long as you aren't filthy Tybrid/mutant trash, I think there's a Greek city somewhere for you to participate in.

I love these guys, I particularly liked Scandinavia, there was some genuinely evocative and horrifying stuff in that one to get us to the end result of cyborg space vikings.
