Good thing my imagination is vivid. On a less graphic note, I wonder how the Southern US has been.

Lots of Redneck Porn. No interracial porn.
Well that sucks... :rofl:
They're all white and pasty. Killer cheekbones though (and I won't post on this any more. This is driving the very interesting tale that will be told wildly offtopic.)

Asalto has been saying that a number of states have nuclear weapons. So far, Canada, Nationalist France, the Russian Empire, Germany, and Japan have been said to have them in their arsenals. He hasn't gotten to the syndie states yet, so i bet at least a couple of them will have nuclear weapons.
Mitteleuropa: Central Wall
Italian Federation was eastablished in Northern Italy by Austrians after Italian defeat in Weltkrieg. Another Austrian client state named Kingdom of Sicilies was dominating Italian South. Ausgleich crisis in 1927 that crippled Austria-Hungary allowed Italians to get rid of Austrian influence. Reactionary Kingdom of Sicilies was overthrown by masses of workers and peasants, and Republic of Sicilies was established as new Syndicalist state in Europe. Italians in the North found Pope as good symbol of unity and organized more efficient federation with Pope as president. When Pope Pius XI passed away in 1936, Austrians pressed for Duke Giuseppe di Toscana to be crowned as new king of Italy. Italian Federation accepted Austrian demands and became monarchy under heavy Austrian influence. Status of Papacy was decided with treaty between Italian Federation and Church, with Vatican City becoming sovereign and independent state, led by the Pope. Italian Federation didn't take part in Danubian conflict that was triggered by failed Ausgleich in 1937, but it fought on the side of restored Austria-Hungary as part of Mitteleuropa against European Syndicalists. Republic of Sicilies was overrun by Austro-Hungarian and Italian troops, and Italy was united again. Unification brought great economic boost to Italian Federation and strong Italy wasn't just dominion of Vienna any more. However, Italians decided to stay loyal to Mitteleuropa since this alliance helped them to unite the country again. Royal dynasty, founded by Duke Giuseppe, became symbol of friendship with Mitteleuropa. Power of the kings has slowly slipped to influental prime ministers and Italian Federation is today led by ambitious prime minister and successful businessman Silvio Berlusconi. King Rudolf is still official head of state, altough being only popular figurehead now. Italian army is fully professional, while Italian Federation has also strong national defense industry. Italian aircraft companies were playing important role in development of Paneuropa Tornado fighter aircraft and Italian developed C1 Ariete tank is standard main battle tank of Italian ground forces. Italian army is fully professional and consists of five mechanized brigades, two armoured brigades, one air mobile brigade, three Alpini brigades and one mobile command center. Navy is made of one pocket carrier, six destroyers and 15 frigates. Italian Federation also deploys strong submarine fleet and is able to perform amphibious assaults. One brigade of marines is ready to take part in such operations as shock force. Air force deploys three squadrons of Paneuropa Tornado long-range fighters and four squadrons of Paneuropa Tornado strike fighters.
Navy of Italian Federation took part in joint Mediterranean naval excercise together with German Kaiserliche Marine, Austro-Hungarian k.u.k. Kriegsmarine and Spanish Navy in 2002.
With German help, Austria-Hungary was restored as strong dual monarchy after the conflict in Danubian region that followed failed Ausgleich in 1937. In all those years, system went trough some reforms, but there weren't any radical changes. Austrian Empire and Kingdom of Hungary preserved their dominant position, using ''divide and conquer'' strategy to keep smaller nations under control. Army is still based on broad conscription system. Separate Austrian and Hungarian Landwehr was not restored after restoration of dual monarchy, since old system was weakening common army. Land forces deploy four mechanized brigades, six motorized brigades, two armoured brigades(one brigade of Leopard 1A5 and one brigade of Leopard 2A4 tanks), two mobile command centers, one air mobile brigade and four Jäger brigades, specialized for mountain warfare. Imperial and Royal Navy is made of four destroyers(SMS Tegethoff as most advanced, accompanied by SMS Kaiser Franz Josef, SMS Prince Eugen and SMS Radetzky), seven frigates and small submarine fleet. Air force deploys two squadrons of Paneuropa Tornado strike fighters and three squadrons of Me-2000 Taifun long-range fighters.
Austro-Hungarian soldiers deployed with the Steyr AUG (StG 77) which is standard service rifle of Austro-Hungarian Army.
Lithuania started successful international policy in second half of 1930s, forging union with Poland and anexing Galicia during chaos in Danubian region. Country is ruled by king Mindaugas IV and his first minister, General Arturas Eisenschuh. Army is fully professional, with Iron Wolf mechanized brigade being most elite unit. It is accompanied by one motorized brigade and one air mobile brigade. Air force deploys one squadron of short-range fighters and one squadron of close air support aircraft.

I see German monarchs are everywhere, does the Kaiser assign them to nations or something?
No, their ancestors were assigned to those nations by ancestor of German Kaiser.
The German monarchs must be the iluminati controlling politics and events of earth!
well, I think Alsato has convinced me on more than one occasion that Mitteleuropa has the dominant military force in Europe. To the point where I'm gonna dislike the Typhoon, and I'm a guy who likes the Typhoon.
The Italian Federation should be a cautionary tale of what happens if you gain too much freedom from your rightful German overlords- you might end up with Berlusconi!
The German monarchs must be the iluminati controlling politics and events of earth!
In fact, they are all controlled by Berlusconni. Mwahahaha!
You can never get rid of Berlusconi
He's everywhere !
Well this Universe needs some kind of comic relief.
Mitteleuropa: Defense Sector Asia
Qing Empire still awaits to restore it's ancient greatness. Altough many warlords gave an oath to Emperor after Pacific War and creation of Chinese Republic, China is still not united. Main question is who will unite it. Republicans have wrote in constitution that all Chinese lands must be liberated and united under republican flag. Maybe this was great political mistake, since petty warlords of Yunnan, Sinkiang and Tibet rather chosed imperial rule, which granted them many rights. They knew Republic will come after them when Empire will fall, and republicans surely wouldn't respect local tradition and rulers. Qing Empire was much more wise in this question, and Pu-Yi offered good conditions for reunification. Tibet was pleased with imperial stipulation that Empire will not intervene in religious affairs. Lamas have preserved their religious authority and also strong political position in Tibet, altough Qing bureaucracy was making sure that imperial laws were above local custom rules. Ma warlord family was satisfied with political positions that were offered by Qing Empire and warlords became governors and other important officials in their territory. Only diffrence was that warlords once ruled de facto independent states, but now they ruled part of Empire as humble servants of Emperor. Off course they wouldn't accepted such offer if new position wouldn't bring more pluses than their old position. Traditionalist forces, united under imperial flag, forged united front against influence of Republic, which would deprive local warlords of all their rights if republican flag would one day wave over roofs of Urumqi or monasteries of Lhasa. Qing Empire was also offering chance of economic prosperity, since Empire enjoyed friendship of Germany, one of strongest nations in the world. For the same reasons, Yunnan also joined imperial cause. Qing Empire was much better choice for them than rising threat of Republic or even worse, Syndicalism. With wise internal policy and German backing in international relations, Qing Empire managed to survive until modern day. Emperor is strong symbol of unity for all nations of empire, for Han Chinese, Tibetans and Turkic people of Sinkiang. Empire is surrounded by old enemies: Russian and Japanese imperialists, Mongolia, India, Nepalese and Bengali Syndicalists, and worst of them, Republican China. Pu-Yi once said that Republic is cancer of China. From imperial stance this is very true, as Republic occupies richest Chinese regions.
With rise of economic prosperity due to connection of imperial China with important world markets via Germany, standard of living has very improved and growth of population was quite high, changing once deserted regions in the West into developed and populated areas. Ambitious project were turning marshes and deserts into more friendly places for living, agrarian land was expanded and entire new cities were built. Tibet was connected to other parts with new railroads that passed the mountains. Such large projects were often compared with construction of Great Wall of China and people of empire saw such transformation as sign of rising imperial might. Qing Empire decided not do rely any more on import of German weapons and experimented with development of own defense industry. Some weaponry is still imported from Germany, but Qing Empire also managed to use greediness of other nations to improve it's arsenal. Governors of Russian Turkestan and corrupted Russian generals often ignore official stance of Moscow and secretly sell some equipment to Imperial China. Kim Jong Il is also golden oportunity for Qing Empire, selling some fine Japanese equipment to Chinese Empire, off course for a big money. Lanzhou is center of Qing defense industry, with aircraft companies and arms manufactures comparing purchased types of weaponry and trying to use their best attributes for development of unique weapons. Off course many projects turn into total failure because it isn't so simple to cross Leopard 2 and T-90, but Qing Empire insists on such strategy and some good fruits were already born from it, like massive Type 99 Emperor MBT, or Lanzhou JF-17 Dragon, advanced and powerful strike fighter. Qing Empire is also struggling to develop nuclear weapons, performing several nuclear tests in Taklimakan Desert, but still being far from establishment of real nuclear arsenal. Qing Empire has large manpower reserves, but still not larger than Republican China has, which occupies most populated parts of China. However, conscription system allows imperial army to deploy large quantity of troops. But deploying more troops is not the only cause for use of conscripted army. Military service is also important weapon of political control, since soldiers are taught to be completely loyal to Emperor. Imperial Chinese Army deploy seven mechanized divisions, two mechanized brigades, 12 motorized divisions, 18 motorized brigades, 6 armoured brigades, 8 armoured divisions, two air mobile brigades and six mobile command centers. Many important units are also strengthened by various support brigades. Main base of Imperial Chinese Navy is Tianjin, largest port of imperial China. Shock force of imperial navy consists of one fleet carrier(Divine Sword was built in 1990s), seven destroyers and 15 frigates. Qing Empire also maintains strong submarine fleet, while navy is also able to transport land units.
Type 99 Emperor MBT of Imperial Chinese Army.
Princenly Federation is ruled by council of princes and chairman of council represents federation in international politics. This country is based on traditionalism and great role of aristocracy, thus being mortal foe of Syndicalist Bengal and Republic of India. Each princenly state maintains it's own professional army that is put under joint command in case of war. Larger and richer states also own navies and air forces. Most of weaponry is imported from Germany, some weapons of older types are also purchased in Qing Empire, Combined land forces of all princenly states deploy 24 motorized brigades, 12 mechanized brigades, four armoured brigades and 16 brigades of special forces. Combined naval forces deploy nine frigates, while joint air forces deploy six squadrons of short-range fighters and three squadrons of strike fighters.

Looks like Lithuania lacks some rare resources (or is it energy?). Prime Minister Eisenschuh really has to work out a solution, his country is below the possible efficiency.
And I believe China is going to become a flashpoint of Asia, or a bet in the Great Game between Germans, Russians and the Japanese. I like the setup, a lot.

As they say, a divided house will not stand. From the sound of things, all it needs is one or two strong and greedy princes to send the Princely Federation teetering towards Civil War.
