Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

other nations then were like "hey, we hate the hapsburgs too!" and intervened because seriously, fuck the hapsburgs.
i didn't see anything wrong with classifying it as an inter-HRE (i.e: primarily german) conflict
Two massively destructive (of human lives and of capital) World Wars will probably do that.
i hate working out.

Or they just make weaker and weaker lineages until the bloodline ends naturally. Darwinism works, social Darwinism isn't my thing as I'm no fan if Nazi interpretations of Nietzsche, but in an information based capitalistic democracy, I believe there is some merit in using census and aptitude test data for sociological predictions, and so does your government.

Nah, lots of non Germans too. The Bohemians were only a bit German. Lots of Slavs and the like. Then the Spanish, French Danes, Swedes and Poles (?) came and joined the party
It's funny to picture Europe going through World War II and then just being like
NOPE NOPE NOPE
But I don't know if it's valid from a historical perspective. WWII was the worst war ever in the terms of absolute carnage, but in a relative sense we've done way worse things to each other and just kept on killing afterwards.

Sometimes I allow myself to think I live in a sleepy, pleasent little Eden, where nothing awful ever happens.
Then I turn on the local news and its all white people complaining about the natives.
My privilege is blinding me to the gross.
Technology and medicine obviate a lot of Darwinian principles, I would say.
Like I'm pretty happy I can wear glasses to make up for being nearsighted. That's pretty cool.

Any war in Europe post WWII would also inevitably been cast in Cold War terms with US allied Western countries vs Soviet dominated countries. And that would have involved nukes so....

I mean, there are clearly loads of other factors at play -- the relative equilibrium of capacity for war among the belligerents of WWII (read: basically none, because they'd bombed the shit out of each other and we'd leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki), the (relatively) very similar cultures and social values of Europe, well-educated populations, etc.
I mean the list is probably much longer.
They do jury duty by computer/phone now? When did that happen?

NZ has done a bit of this. It is our cersion of the Culture Wars I guess.
Maori tribes make settlements with the Government over the latter's treaty/other breaches, which usually includes some naming privileges - although usually nothing too worrying. Most place names have alternative, lawful Maori names anyway.
It is more a matter of pronunciation - most Anglos pronounce Maori place names differently than current Maori would agree to be correct. Things can get a little tense
My home town for example pronounces the name of the town one way, the Maori another way, but the latter's pronunciation is take as the rule by the national media - who has done so for 2 decades, which is almost like an ongoing troll of my home town, as the latter won't change and nor will the former.
It's accurate enough to use it as a funny line in a history comedy thing at least.

what does "bloodline ends naturally" mean though?
are you asserting that there's any correlation between fecundity or the willingness to reproduce and any of these social metrics that you like?
to the contrary, in developed nations, family size tends to be inversely proportional to income/ wealth/ education.
It's a civil case I'm doing. I'm surrounded by old people who like to talk over people and don't know how to use technology
Though I suppose only @Abdhyius @Honk etc will understand this.

Oh please, like they weren't already doing puns of Lone Ranger and Man of Steel. :P
