I identify as bi but I have jokingly referred to myself as partially gay and half gay before.

So if you don’t include that, I guess that would be me?

Regardless of the current success or failure of the at-vote RRS proposal, I intend to submit another thesis for consideration on the 26[sup]th[/sup]. This is a current copy of the draft text:

If there are any questions, comments, or concerns before I do so, please let me know.

Hello folkens, I've revived the card bank. If anyone is working on a Refugia collection (either S2 or S3) please let me know and I'll keep you in mind while sorting through the cards I've got. I'm planning to go through and get rid of as many cards as possible next weekend, so send me a telegram if you'd like to be included in that.

If you're not a Member State, the highest value card I'll send is 0.05 (the usual junk price for uncommon cards), if you're a Member State endorsing our delegate Typica then you can receive any card.

Melenavenia wrote:The impossible question: Most influential IRL nation in history?

Macedon.

[spoiler=wall of text prevention]

In its uniting of the Middle East, it spread Greek extensively as a lingua franca, merged cultures, and allowed for more trade in the region. The defeat of the Persians by the Macedons likely saved Greek culture from partial extinction. The collapse of Alexander’s empire after his death created the Seleucids and Ptolemaics, who were two of the most influential kingdoms of their time.

Macedon’s control of the Greek city-states and the fighting that took place to hopefully keep it that way allowed the Romans to take over Greece and expand eastward potentially much earlier than they would have otherwise, and their alliances with the Carthaginians and the Seleucids prompted a lot of conflict. Without Macedon, the Romans may never have been nearly as exposed to Greek culture, and may have stayed mainly Etruscan in culture.

The Ptolemaics maintained Alexandria, a hub of knowledge and trade, and their Hellenistic influence and language is one of the main reasons we know much of the things we know about Ancient Egypt today; without the Rosetta Stone, a Ptolemaic artifact, we would not know much of anything about Egyptian hieroglyphs, at least not until much later than in our timeline.

The Seleucids possibly influenced the Maurya Empire, the first state to unify the Indian subcontinent (except for the Tamil Kings) The Seleucids, when they shrank and collapsed, gave way to the Parthians, who themselves gave way to the Sassanians, all three of them empires that continued to controls a large amount of Middle Eastern territory. The Sassanians in particular were the main enemies of the Byzantine Empire after Rome’s division and collapse, and were very influential in the weakening of the Byzantines, which paved the way for the foundation of the Ottoman Empire.

This Sassanid-Byzantine antagonism weakened both sides, and allowed the Rashidun Caliphate to conquer the Middle East. (Quite frankly, Islam may not have even existed had it not been for Alexander’s empire, at least not in its current form; while Arabia surely would have developed significant trade without Alexander’s empire, the Greek lingua franca would not exist to spread the Abrahamic religions as far as they went.) The Rashidun Caliphate then gave way to the Umayyads, and without the Umayyads, Islam would not have spread nearly as far as it did.

As mentioned earlier parenthetically, the Abrahamic religions owe a great ton of their expansion to Macedon, especially Christianity. The lingua franca in the Middle East and Greece helped Christianity spread in the east, while Roman roads helped it spread further into Europe. Rome was influenced to expand and thus build its roads by the accomplishments of Alexander and Macedon as a whole, so there’s also that. Judaism deals with the same struggles, just significantly less so because the same things that caused Christianity to spread like fire in a timber mill didn’t really effect Judaism all that much.

As mentioned earlier, the Romans would not have expanded like they did had it not been for a heavy deal of inspiration from Alexander the Great. While there’s a pretty good chance they would have taken over Carthage anyway, it’s unlikely they would have gone much further. With that, the Celts remain one of the largest forces in Europe, likely repelling settlement from Germanic tribes, and the Germanic tribes themselves don’t have nearly as much of an impact on the rest of Europe. The Silk Road is also never established, at least in its modern form, and as such China stays isolated from the rest of the world for much, much longer if Macedon does not exist.

Without Macedon, our world is radically different than it is in our timeline. Let’s go to around 0 AD, in this new timeline. The Achaemenids likely conquer Greece, albeit after a long series of wars. Celts dominate Western Europe and Slavs will come to dominate Eastern Europe, with a good assortment of Germanic kingdoms in the center of the continent. Europe as a whole still has a variety of polytheistic beliefs and no single main religion. Carthaginians are the dominant power in the western Mediterranean, at least until a possible war between the Etruscans and themselves may kick them out of Sicily, although it’s unlikely. China and the Sinosphere it maintains continues to not have much knowledge of the lands into Central Asia and beyond. India is still pretty isolated due to the mountainous terrain.

Past that, who knows what happens, but there won’t be a lot of colonial empires, and as such states that originated as colonies never form. There’s also a much smaller spice trade, so the empires that do form will need another justification for existence.[/spoiler]

As far as I can tell there was never a Mesopotamian nation, but instead civilizations that came to dominate the region at various times in history.

It’s official, more people die from getting lost in the wilderness in my nation than die from old age.

I’m still choosing to believe they’re not actually dying, they’ve just decided to disappear and form a secret society of forest people because at this point that’s millions of people getting lost out there lol.

we should make a map treaty for nations who have quite significant amounts of their population die because of "lost in the wilderness" according to NS data (with "quite significant" being like 25% and up)

It’s the leading cause of death in my nation with 48.1% of people wandering off and “dying” (actually committing tax evasion), with an additional 4.7% allegedly getting eaten by beavers (but they’re probably also joining the forest people to commit tax evasion), for a grand total of 52.8% of deaths being listed as having a nature related cause.

That is quite significant indeed, I would say. If 25% is enough to meet that threshold then I really flew past it.

I'd definitely join. Maybe we could even bring in diplomats to deal with the secret countries in the forests.

In fact, maybe we could map more than our forests; we could also map the seas and underground too!
