Yep, Mali also hasn’t fallen either, and the Eimercias sans Fusang (through they seem to have folded to the EF’s will after losing its fleet at Hawaii) are fighting on the side of Persia and Schengen and aren’t totalitarian.India is also dead though...
I wouldn't say the EF is on the same side as Persia/Schengen, nor are they enemies, but they both have a common enemy and are reasonably sane.Yep, Mali also hasn’t fallen either, and the Eimercias sans Fusang (through they seem to have folded to the EF’s will after losing its fleet at Hawaii) are fighting on the side of Persia and Schengen and aren’t totalitarian.
This. That’s why I didn’t put Equalist or Socialist EF as that would imply that Persia, India, and Eimerica are enemies.I wouldn't say the EF is on the same side as Persia/Schengen, nor are they enemies, but they both have a common enemy and are reasonably sane.
India certainly didn’t look that way when they killed Nepal tho…India is also dead though...
Okay.This. That’s why I didn’t put Equalist or Socialist EF as that would imply that Persia, India, and Eimerica are enemies.
I wouldn't say isolationist either, but they're more focused on the New World at the moment and don't have the time to look outward yet.In reality, Eimerican Federation is Isolationist (Though they don’t admit it, as Jerusalem bastardized that word) and Neutral, all of the nations in it are merely trying to survive. They are not for Persia’s interests but they are not necessarily against Persia’s interests either.
Never heard of that.With that in mind, The Hohenzollern Empire has also entered the True Tropes Wiki!

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears! For centuries, two great empires and two great peoples have both claimed that they are the rightful heirs of the ancient. The Germans were crowned by The Pope as Kaisers of Rome, and the Greeks have their own reasons. For centuries, both empires...the-true-tropes.fandom.com
That just means Nepal is that bad.India certainly didn’t look that way when they killed Nepal tho…
I also wouldn't say that India is particularly conservative either, especially after the Hindutvas were killed at the start of this war. I mean, the Indian royal family does have a trans girl as the heir to the throne after all.India certainly didn’t look that way when they killed Nepal tho…
India at this point no longer has an ideology, as the surviving Indians are solely focused on trying to survive the absolute chaos that Jerusalem has brought upon the entire subcontinent.I also wouldn't say that India is particularly conservative either, especially after the Hindutvas were killed at the start of this war.

But does Julian have it in him to betray his own beliefs and overthrow meritocracy?Well all of that just happened. Welp, the loyalists are effectively dead now, unless Julian is willing be like Julius and overthrow Mozaffar in an outright military coup and rule as a Reinhard like benevolent dictator, even if that would validate the nationalists. I don’t see much of a choice for him other than overthrowing meritocracy. I hate to say this, but with how the people of the former Reich, China, and now Persia have gone mad and thrown away their rights and freedoms to nationalists, maybe it is time to do away with democracy and meritocracy for the time being and have Julian step up a Cincinnatus like benevolent dictator. It may not beat a functional democracy or meritocracy, but an enlightened autocract is still better than repressive totalitarian regimes like Jerusalem and China. Perhaps things in the future will settle down enough after Jerusalem has fallen for meritocracy to return, but for the time being I think the best thing that Julian can do is pull a Cincinnatus.
Man, I’m starting to sound like Oberstein at this point. Come to think of it, this post also sounds like Mr. House from Fallout New Vegas as well.
I doubt the Romans will forgive the Persians for a long time.Well this certainly has gone even further downhill. If the Persians want it that way then let they lay on the bed they so made for themselves, let's see if that nationalism will get them somewhere in the end if it all comes to bite them, hell at this point I think even the Loyalists will resent this move from their supposed allies. It's certainly gonna break down every single good will the two nations have tried to cultivate for years.

Things are about to get very messy.I don’t think he does
It looks like Chancellor Pippa is about to go Order 66 in her Central African Roman capital against Central Asia for betraying the Reich and eat up East Africa along the way, cause you know, they were in the way.
Dew it
Sometimes, the appearance matters more than the actual truth, as many of our protagonists åre familiar with already.Yeah, can't be too surprised by that spin on what happened.
With how there will most likely be a surge of anti-Germán sentiments for the non Germans of the Reich when Jerusalem falls, perhaps Greek nationalists would consider themselves true Romans and the Germans as barbarian oppressors that tried to erase their cultural heritage and should be overthrown. I think that alone how dead Romanitas is when one of the core groups of the Reich has now turned against it due to oppression. German-Greek relations after this might be even more tense than OTL Turkish-Greek relations over the past century. Sucks to see Fredrich the Great's work to unite the Greeks and Germans get undone by the Committee.Greeks might actually call Greece as Romania, as they would still have identified themselves as Romans. I don't think they had a name for Greece as a whole during the Byzantine era, just Romania (which I've rendered as Rhomania here to avoid confusion with a certain OTL country). This would continue even after restoration and the empire expanding far beyond just Greece and Anatolia. While all of the peoples of the new Reich can call themselves as Romans (in addition to whatever cultural/geographical label they give themselves, so "German" would be considered as "Roman from Germany"), the Greeks still primarily consider themselves Rhomaioi, perhaps in an attempt to keep some of that old exceptionalism they had when the Greek-focused eastern empire was still around. It might be a cultural stereotype that non-Greeks have of them, being stuck-up in claiming to be "real Romans." Non-Greeks would just call them Hellenes, and in the modern era, official documents would also call them Hellenes (as in "Roman from Hellas").

As for other minorities, I could see France taking a page of Persia's book by associating Jerusalem's crimes with those of past Roman regimes, namely that of Saint Wilhelmina and Julius Caesar, and follow in Vercingetorix's footsteps by rebelling against the Reich. They could also take ques from the Greek nationalists and declare their own empire as the heir to Charlemagne's empire.
Also @TWR97, if you're still working on your ASOIAF/Hymn updates, then I would recommend having the Hymn protagonist take some inspiration from the Hongwu Emperor , as the way the emperor later went on to carry out large purges after reforming the government meshes well with your Hymn premise.
