Borealia, Part 2.5

Just for Aesculus


Teddy was born when I was
Also
He won his first election in 2003 when he was 18.

Upon doing so he told his new party leader his dream was "To be Interim leader. You know the guy who rights the ship. I don't want to be the full-time leader, I'd probably fuck it up, but I'd love to be the guy that everyone turns to and says 'we need a stable hand at the wheel, we want you'. I want to be that stable hand"

Teddy said the same thing to the next leader, and to everyone in caucus.

Teddy told everyone that "I want people to think of me as the boring, grey, administrator. Someone who pushes papers and keeps the wheels turning without ever rocking the boat"


After a decade of this, people realized he wasn't lying, and this is actually what he wanted.

Borealia, Part 1

The world keeps spinning. 
This is a world very much like our own, but, somehow different. Great Albion used to rule, but now there are two major superpowers. It would not last.

On July 2nd, 2015, The Volkshaus Compact and the Allied Provinces of Johannia have a nuclear war.

The world ends.


Mostly

It's unknown exactly what happens next, but biological weapons were used, en masse. Additionally, attempts were made to spread these, and most were successful. Only one country was able to fight off.

Borealia


A federation of former Albion colonies, is now the only country in the world that remains.

It's big
these are scale comparisons between Borealia and some places in our reality.


Starting in part 2, we will follow the development of the country and see how this all plays out.

Car and knife violence

The US has a violence problem.

When you compare the USA to these other countries, it becomes obvious.

The US has a violence problem.
If you take away their guns, you'll do two thing. First you'll reduce the rate of violence a bit, secondly, you'll increase the amount of knife and car violence.

If you take away their knives and cars you'll increase the rate of hammer violence
And then of axe violence
And then of frying pan violence

If you strip everyone in the world naked, and took away all their things, the amount of fist and foot violence in the US would be off the scale compared to fist and foot violence around the world.

The US has a violence problem.
