For over ten years, Ill Bethisad has been a collaborative effort in shared-universe building.  Part alt-history, part conculture, '''Ill Bethisad''' is an alternate timeline created by a dedicated group of [[The List|conculturists]]. If you are unfamiliar with it, please have a look at this [[Ill Bethisad|short description]] or, better yet, visit [http://www.bethisad.com/ IB's homepage].

This is the '''Ill Bethisad Wiki''':  it is a constantly growing, ever more detailed perspective of the alternate timeline Earth created by [[User:AndrewSmith|Andrew Smith]]. Ill Bethisad [[The List|Members]] should feel free to make of this resource what they will. Guests are invited to comment. If you're not a member, but are interested in contributing, first please go [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conculture/ here] to the Conculture list, introduce yourself to the group, take a look at the links page, IB's Website and then learn how we function as a group. Then, review your own ideas and introduce them to the group to see how well they fit. At this point in time, the sort of idea that can fit within the framework of IB seems increasingly limited due to the great amount of work that has been done at understanding how this '''alternate timeline''' functions, but proposals are welcome nonetheless.

As of right now, we have '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' articles!

If you are unfamiliar with wikis in general, visit [[Help:How does one start a page]] and [[Help:Editing]]. A full list of help topics is at [[Help:Contents]].

'''Note to editors''':  This Wiki may be used in several different contexts: making Proposals or Suggestions, asking Questions, and the storage of such [[QSS|Fact]] as are not kept on the various IB related webpages, which constitute the primary source material.  If you're making a proposal and you want something to be read as a proposal, not 100% factual, please add the text '''&lt;nowiki&gt;{{proposal}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;''' to the top of the page.  For denoting source material, do the same, replacing '''&lt;nowiki&gt;{{proposal}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;''' with '''&lt;nowiki&gt;{{source}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;'''. See [[IBWiki:Templates]] for more info.
&lt;br&gt;We ask that all members of [[the List]] make a regular pass over the '''[[:Category:Proposal|Proposal]]''' page to voice their opinion of pending submissions.

Why can't I place images on the site? This is what Carlos did:

http://chlewey.org/ib/af/cl/ao).bflag.png

And this is what I do:
http://www.geocities.com/wenedyk/ib/turkestan_map.png

??? Can somebody tell me the difference ???

Bandersnatch: I guess it's something about the geocities server. There where similar problems with the flag of [[Republic Of The Two Crowns|RTC]]. I placed the flag on an other server and now it works.

== Proposal tags ==

It's a bit late, but I finally got this working. If you simply type '''&lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{proposal}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;''', you get this:

{{proposal}}

But if you type '''&lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{proposal|date=July 7, 2006}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;''', you get this:

{{proposal|date=July 7, 2006}}

It is not likely that we will ever be using the proposal template again, but the same mechanism can also be applied on other template, so that we will finally be free of this &quot;convential short name&quot; kind of things if there are none. &amp;mdash;[[User:IJzeren Jan|IJzeren Jan]] &lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:IJzeren Jan|&lt;font color=&quot;green&quot;&gt;Uszkiełtu?&lt;/font&gt;]]&lt;/sup&gt; 08:08, 28 June 2006 (PDT)

[[Gun Companies in IB]]

Why do infoboxes not seem to work for me?

I type &lt;nowiki&gt; {{independence infobox|from=RULING NATION|dec_date=DATE OF DECLARATION|rec_date=DATE OF RECOGNITION}}
&lt;/nowiki&gt;

This is what I get:
{{independence infobox|from=RULING NATION|dec_date=DATE OF DECLARATION|rec_date=DATE OF RECOGNITION}}

:I think that you need the header for the infobox; I would suggest that you look at the other pages that link to the independence infobox, so you can better see how to link them with other content. [[User:BoArthur|BoArthur]] 15:42, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

      <text xml:space="preserve">Ill Bethisad isn't just about Wars and discussions on measurement standards and constructed languages. Presumably, the people that inhabit IB like to get out of the house and take in a picture or see a play. Here you can read about various aspects of IB's culture.

This is for cultural items like popular literature, moving pictures and the like - especially when it departs from or plays on *here*'s pop culture.

*[[Alcohol Production in Ill Bethisad|Alcohol]] is as much the social lubricant *there* as *here*.

*[[Corporations|Corporations and Economics]] - not normally thought of as &quot;culture&quot;, perhaps, but these are certainly important parts of everyday life.

*[[movies|Moving Pictures]] provide a great escape from the drudgeries of airshipping over to the [[Germany|Holy Roman Empire]] for a serious business meeting with top [[Baltic League]] and European Federation chiefs; or taking the [[TGV]] out of Embro headed for a holiday in sunny Costa del Sol, hobnobbing with Spanish, Sicilian and Tawantinsuyan royalty.

*[[books|Books]] of excellent caliber are also a popular escape and allow one to draw the pictures in one's own mind.

*[[plays|Plays]] ...

*[[Eurovidere Song Contest]] is a European song and artistic contest...

*[[Music]] ...

*[[Shows]] ...

*[[Television]] does exist in [[Ill Bethisad|IB]], though is not a dominant a world-culture force.

*[[News Agencies]] come in both the responsible and irresponsible types.

*[[Cultural Mentalities]]

*[[Culture Tests]] Every culture has its own assumptions and shared background.  These are a few of them.

*[[Minority cultures]], interesting little concultures that have yet to achieve self-determination

*[[IB Religion|Religions]]  Though not often thought of as 'Culture' in the sense of High-Society, the world's religious systems have greatly affected the cultures of all societies, the world over.

'''Chemin De Fer Louisiannais''' is the state sponsored rail system of [[Louisianne]].  For most of its existence it has remained fully 20 years behind the times, buying older styles of trains from [[France]].  In recent years a dramatic refurbishing of the rail network has been capped-off by the creation of major [[TGV]] lines.  These lines, coupled with increased tourism to Louisianne from the NAL and Oregon, has lead to increased growth of revenue of CFL.  With the settling of hostilities with [[Tejas]] it is expected that rail connections will continue a-pace, and, given time, [[Alta California]] will bring peace to [[Deseret]], and plans for a direct connection toward the west coasts are well developed.

CFL claims proud ownership of some of the longest rail tunnels in North America, created to reach the ski and mining towns growing up in the [[Alpes-Argentés]].

With the new TGV lines in full functionality, CFL is pushing a publicity campaign to help the public understand how much time using the CFL will save them.  An example of this advertisement can be found on the [http://www.geocities.com/bo_arthur/ltb/cfle.html CFL Website].

==History==
Under the leadership [[Joseph Thomas Robespierre]], the various railways of Louisianne were unified under the '''''Chemins de Fer Louisiannais''''' in ''an CXXIX'' (1920).  The railways that were purchased, and in some cases nationalized, were as follows:

* Chemins de Fer des Bayous (Bayou Railways), which covered most of [[Saint-Onge]].
* Chemin de Fer Valle-de-Loire (Loire Valley Railway), covering the ''département'' of [[Loire-Neuf]].
* Chemin de Fer du Centre (Central Railway), covering [[Saint-Louis (prefecture)|Saint Louis]] and some of [[Osage]].
* Chemins de Fer du Nord de la Louisianne (Northern Railways of Louisianna), covering all points North and West of [[Lyons-sur-Mizouri]]

Prior to ''an CXXIX'' (1920) there had been a growing corporatization and conglomeration of railways.  Prior to ''an CIX'' (1900) there were nearly as many local railways within Louisianne as there were days of the year, although some were simply local 20 kilometer rail-lines.

===Introduction of TGV===
On 11 Nivôse, CCXI, (January 1st, 2003) CFL began TGV rail service from Zaraëmla and Lyons-sur-Mizouri to Paris-sur-Mizouri and a second service from Paris-sur-Mizouri to Le Caillou, Baton Rouge, ending in Nouvelle Orléans.  The popular response to these services lead to the enriching of the TGV network to current standards.  Further expansion is planned in the north and west, however this is somewhat hampered due to lack of demand.  

TGV service from Toulouse to Santa Fe in [[Tejas]] is currently under review by the two governments.

==Major Hubs==

[[Image:Louisiannetgv.jpg|thumb|right|Approximation of the TGV ''réseau'' of CFL in Louisianne]]Due to the geographical lay of the country, Louisianne has resulted in a Y-shaped network of high speed rail lines.  CFL operates two non-stop lines to Chicago from Lyons-sur-Mizouri and Saint-Louis.  The Regional hubs of CFL are:

* [[Paris-sur-Mizouri]]
* Brest
* [[Zarahemla|Zaraëmla]]
* [[Saint-Louis]]
* [[New Orleans|Nouvelle Orléans]]
* [[Baton Rouge]]
* [[Toulouse]]
* [[Le Caillou]]
* [[Lyons-sur-Mizouri]]
* Ouatchita
* Pierre

'''Dorris Motorworks''' is the primary automobile manufacturer of Louisianne.  While historically Dorris produced exclusively automobiles, in recent decades the automobile manufacturer has encompassed other products, expanding into the public transportation industry.

==History==
Dorris Motors Company was founded by George Preston Dorris. Born in Nashville, [[Tenisi]], [[NAL-SLC|NAL]], Dorris had built an experimental gasoline car circa 1896-7. He relocated to St. Louis, where he joined with John L. French to found the St. Louis Motor Carriage Company. Dorris served as chief engineer. When French returned to Peoria, [[Illinoise]], Dorris stayed behind, retaining the production facilities and founded the Dorris Motor Car Company.

His first production vehicle had a four-cylinder engine with 101-inch wheel-base, which took the New Amsterdam Automobile show by storm. Over time, Dorris' cars became more powerful, graduating from a four to six-cylinder engine, and increasing nearly 30 inches in the wheelbase. The price tag of these cars was nearly $7,000.

Prior to the [[First Great War]] truck production began. In 1917, the capital stock was expanded $700,000 worth to $1,000,00 to all for expansion of the company.

[[Image:Dorris.gif|75px|thumb|left|Dorris Motorworks until their 2005 merger.]]In 1920, Dorris acquired the Astra Company, a competing St. Louis auto manufacturer, and re-organized as Dorris Motors Corporation. In 1925 rumors abounded that the Dorris, Haynes and Winton companies would merge, but this merger did not come to fruition at that time.  However, in early 1944 Haynes and Winton approached Dorris, who was in hard financial straits and suggested a merger.  Part of Dorris' poor finances were due to its involvment in the [[Affaire des Tramways]].  The companies merged, and continued to grow.  Under the name of Dorris Motorworks (Dorris's name holding out because his company, while much less stable financially was the largest and most notable of the three) the company went on to produce the Astra, Dorris and Haynes car lines.  The Haynes line was phased out following the [[Second Great War]].  Today, every third car in [[Louisianne]] is a Dorris or Astra (or other Motorworks makes).

==Fiscal Outlook==
Astras are known for their competitve use in Road Rallies around the world.  In 2003 Dorris Motorworks began negotations with the [[Japan]]ese government to construct a production facility there to expand their market to Asia.  This deal was later changed in early 2005 into negotiations for the sale of Mitçubixi Motors to Dorris Motorworks.  It is expected that they will use their knowledge of the Astras and the Mitçubixi expertise with motors to make a new, more appealing line of motor cars for the younger 'sports-car' demographic.

As a result of this merger, Dorris Motorworks posted particularly high revenue and profit margins for the 2005 fiscal year.

==New Lines of Vehicles: The Eco-Series==
The Furacano Season of 2005 was particularly detrimental to the oil processing facilities of of North America.  In response to this and growing environmental desires within Louisianne and Japan, Dorris-Mitçubixi Motorworks announce in September of 2007 the creation of a new line of industrial tractor-rigs, the so-called &quot;Tesla Series.&quot;

Working with [[Tesla-Westinghouse]], engineers from Dorris-Mitçubixi have begun developing the prototype vehicles, slated for production in 2012.  These vehicles would incorporate a new engine, capable of using ethanol produced from prairie grasses grown in the north of Louisianne, as well as surplus corn and wine production, to the dismay of some wine-producers in the country.

      <text xml:space="preserve">== Introduction ==
Egmont-Nordisk A/S is Scandinavia's media giant and the result of the merger between the media group, Egmont A/S, and the world's oldest film company, Nordisk Film A/S. It operates in more than 30 countries around the globe, producing magazines, comics, books, films, and television shows.

== History ==
Egmont started as a small one-man printing business in 1878, when the enterprising Egmont Harald Petersen with a loan from his mother's assets buys a &quot;flyswatter&quot;, a simple hand operated printing machine. By 1892, his company had grown big, and the quality of his prints well known that his was awarded the honourable title of &quot;Printers to the Royal Scandinavian Court&quot;, a distinction still held by the company today.

The investment in high capacity printing machines required a stable flow of new orders. To ensure this Egmont in 1901 acquired the magazine &lt;i&gt;Damernes Blad&lt;/i&gt; and changed its name to &lt;i&gt;Hemet&lt;/i&gt; (&quot;The Home&quot;) with a content focused on travel, fashion, patriotic poetry, and essays. Five years later the circulation exceeded 250,000 and Egmont was ready to expand the activities to more countries. In 1911 &lt;i&gt;Hemet&lt;/i&gt; appeared in the Scandinavian East Indies, 10 years later in the Scandinavian Guinea-West Indies and became, over time, the biggest magazine in the [[Scandinavian Realm]]. Today the group's Scandinavian magazine business encompasses over 67 magazines and weeklies, each week reaching more than 10 Million [[Scandinavian Realm]] citizens.

In 1906, while Egmont was expanding its printing and publishing company, the managing director of the Tivoli amusement park in [[Køpenhavn]], Ole Olsen, founded Nordisk Film A/S in 1906. It too quickly expanded and by the 1920s was producing feature films and documentaries for the international market.

After the [[Second Great War]], Egmont initiated a cooperation with [[Valdemar Ditzenoe|Valdemar Ditzenø]] about comics among other things. In 1949 the first Ditzenø magazine, &lt;i&gt;[[Anders And]] &amp; Co&lt;/i&gt;, appeared. These publications became the basis for developing a broad knowledge about children and young people. Through the 80s and 90s Egmont's publishing rights have been expanded to also include countries in [[Eastern Europe]] and [[Asia]]. Today Egmont develops and publishes over 100 different comics, preschool magazines and books as well as editorially driven youth and teenage magazines in more than 30 countries and cooperates with the world’s leading rights owners.

In 1963, Egmont entered the book market. Today, Egmont holds strong positions in children's book market outside Scandinavia, and is the second largest children's publisher in the [[Federated Kingdoms]]. Egmont publishes books in 30 countries and is one of Europe's leading children's book publishers. In the [[Scandinavian Realm]] itself, Egmont is among the leaders across all publishing areas including textbooks.

As part of the magazine publishing Egmont established an advertising agency to serve the advertising clients of the magazines. This later leads into film commercials and into a strongly growing market for film rights driven by the rapid spread of VCR machines. At the 1992 merger with the world's oldest film company, Nordisk Film, Egmont developed into the biggest private film and TV company.

In 1992 Egmont-Nordisk set up Scandinavia's first commercial television station, [[Fjærrensjuntvå]], with a number of partners.

Today Egmont-Nordisk produces feature films, commercials, and television programming. A large portfolio of film and games rights places Egmont-Nordisk as the leading Scandinavian provider of electronic entertainment. It also owns over half of the movie theatres in the [[Scandinavian Realm]].

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''Ki'a''' (起亞), spelled Kïa in much of the Western world, or Quía in Castilian-speaking nations (both based on older non-standard romanizations) is one of the largest auto manufacturers in the [[Japan|Japanese Empire]].  It is based in [[Corea]] and was founded during the Interregnum, in Saisei Gannen (1952).  It quickly expanded into the rest of the Empire after the personal union.  In Saisei 47 (1998), it acquired Hiendai.

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''Miçubixi Heavy Industries''' ((三菱重工業) is one of several companies spun off of the Miçubixi Zaibaçu in Saisei 5 (1956).  Today, they are the largest manufacturer of military equipment for the Japanese military, and also some foreign nations, most recently [[Louisianne]].  Military sales are their largest market.

The Miçubixi Zaibaçu originated as a shipping firm founded in Meidji 3 (1870).  At one time, Miçubixi was a major auto manufacturer in Japan, but Miçubixi Motors has been steadily declining since the 5th decade of the Saisei era (1990's).  MHI is currently in negotiations with [[Dorris Motorworks]] to sell the remaining auto factories, ending Miçubixi Motors as an independent company.  Dorris Motorworks does intend to continue use of the Mitçubixi name, using it to launch a new 'sports-car' line in the next 5 years.

Divisions of Miçubixi Heavy Industries
*Miçubixi Motors
*Miçubixi Atomic Works
*Miçubixi Chemical
*[[Miçubixi Aeronautics]] - heavily employed by [[ATOE]] and [[CNEL]].
*Miçubixi Military
*Niccò - Specializes in cameras, microscopes, binoculars, etc. (*here*'s Nikon)

A Quite Interesting Story of &lt;i&gt;Love&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Passion&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;Struggle to Survive&lt;/i&gt; in a WORLD GONE MAD!...&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Now showing at all better moving picture Theatre Houses:&lt;/b&gt;

* &lt;i&gt;Amalia of Castreleon&lt;/i&gt; - 'She'll change your life.' The sweeping Kerno language masterpiece originally titled  &quot;Llo Gran Gwid di Amalia Polan&quot; Amalia, an innocent and naive girl in Castreleon with her own sense of justice, decides to help those around her and along the way, discovers love.&quot;  Directed by renowned [[France|Francien]] Director, Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

* &lt;i&gt;Captains of the Air&lt;/i&gt; - a futuristic tale of aerial derring do against invading aliens from the deeps of space!

* &lt;i&gt;[[Chronicles of Empire Long Gone]]&lt;/i&gt; - perhaps the most controversial film of all the times about an expeditions sent to investigate archeological remains of unknown civilization somewhere in [[Antarctica]].

* &lt;i&gt;Dupła Wita Walęcinie&lt;/i&gt; (&quot;The Double Life of Valentina&quot;) - a moving masterpiece by the Venedic cineast [[Krzysztof Kieśliny]] about the parallel lives of two almost identical young women: Walęcina from the [[RTC]] and Valentina from the [[NAL]], both played by Irena Jakobina. Although they meet only once (a brief glimpse through a bus window in Kordyn), their lives remain thoroughly interconnected until Walęcina's untimely death, symbolising the sacrifices of the RTC during the [[Second Great War]].

* &lt;i&gt;Forlorn in Traduction&lt;/i&gt; - highly acclaimed drama about two very different people coping with culture shock together in Quiòto, titled &quot;Wisse in Commeirdsone&quot; in the Jovian original.

* &lt;i&gt;Gigantic!&lt;/i&gt; - set sail on the world's first superliner: longest, widest, most richly appointed passenger liner on the ocean sea and unsinkable to boot!

Blone tends to save the world from megalomaniac bad guys by disposing of them and their goons in creative ways and with suitable one-liner eulogies, bedding at the very least two beautiful women (regardless of affiliation), engaging in vehicle chases, staying in style under all circumstances, flirting with his secretary Ms ''Guenapfeinge'', spending immesurable amounts of money, and in general just being very Jervan. His latest movie is ''Casino Reqal'', set in an even-more-intrigue-prone version of [[Xliponia]].

Naturally, the Captain of the Fenwickian forces falls in love with a local New Amsterdamian beauty and he seduces her into returning his diminutive forest home. Drollery par excellence!

*&lt;i&gt;La Fille de la Maison&lt;/i&gt; - a controversial 1977 film telling the tale of Virginie, the daughter of a prostitute in Nouvelle Orléans' Storyville district, and her photographer-lover Étienne Delacroix.

*''Mare'' - an [[Italian]] film by [[Elba|Elban]] film director Lucco Jovio is already treated as a classic film in Italy, though it was only released in 1997. It tells the story of a [[First Great War]]-era doomed love on the Tuscan coast, between an Italian soldier heading off to fight, and his childhood sweetheart from his home village. Described by the Italian press, varyingly, as &quot;tragic&quot;, &quot;deeply moving&quot;, and &quot;wonderfully sad&quot;.

* ''[[Once Were Explorers (movie)|Once Were Explorers]]'' - Aotheroan film about a poor english family

* &lt;i&gt;Rescue of Soldier Ryan&lt;/i&gt; - a good, modern war story telling a tale of [[Second Great War|Great War II]] daring.

The next installment is in pre-production, titled &lt;i&gt;Winter White&lt;/i&gt;.  16 April, 2005 saw the theatric release of the first &lt;i&gt;fanfic&lt;/i&gt;[1] moving picture entitled &lt;i&gt;War in the Heavens: Adumbrations&lt;/i&gt;. 

* &lt;i&gt;Witches of l'Ancrea&lt;/i&gt; - a fantastic tale of three witches and their adventures in Parts Unknown!

* ''[[Woldemarow]]'' by [[Lars von Trier]], a famous allegory tale, allegedly based on a real settlement of Antarctica [[Voldemaravas]].

* ''[[World Wars (series of movies)|World Wars]]'' - an epic tale of a boy's discovery of his fate taking place during the Great Wars.

= Popular actors and actresses =

* [[Paburofu Iban]] - a popular [[Russia]]n-born actor in [[Ezo]], [[Japan|Japanese Empire]].  Recently signed a contract for 500,000 [[Japanese currency|lò]] ([[Currency of the Commonwealth of Nations| £]]100,000) for an as-of-yet-unnamed movie about the First Ruso-Japanese War.

* Coenga fih Johan - a beautiful [[Jervaine|Jervan]] actress featuring in many recent movies, but known primarily due to her stellar performance and natural charm in ''Forlorn in Traduction''.

*[[Alec Lloneir]] - famous Kemrese actor, known for his large volume of work produced primarily in the NAL-SLC.

[1] - Fanfic is a whole subgenre of fan produced stories based on the original themes of the author. [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s and [[Books|Pratchett]]'s works have long been subject to fanfic, but ''Adumbrations'' represents the first feature length motion picture so produced.

==== 'Yn nediwn seint yn llinghedig, yn nediwn seint yn cor' ====
&lt;/center&gt;

'''Ill Bethisad''' (&quot;the universe&quot; in Brithenig, a calque of Welsh ''bydysawd'') had as its origins the constructed world and history devised in 1996 by [[Andrew Smith]] of New Zealand where his constructed language (called Brithenig) exists. [[Brithenig]] itself is a constructed [[Romance Languages|Romance]] language based on the premise that the Latin spoken in Roman Britain did not die out but rather developped into a modern Romance language akin to Spanish and [[Francien|French]]. Since its original conception, Brithenig has attracted a number of fans who have either created their own conlangs within Ill Bethisad, a term that has come to be applied to the constructed reality of this alternate timeline, or else have contributed to shaping its history and cultures.

[[Image:Dragon.gif|right]]
Ill Bethisad is different from other alternate histories in that it has numerous [[Point of Divergence|Points of Divergence]] or PODs, whereas others, such as Harry Turtledove's ''Southern Victory'' series, where the South wins the war against the North, and the resulting wars that would wrack the North American continent, have only one.

Because of the numerous PODs and the fact that we have a large number of [[The List|participants]], we've implemented several principles, such as ''[[QSS|Quod Scripsi, Scripsi]]'', that help us establish and defend the corpus of canonical fact for this alternate world. (see: [[How It All Works]] and [[What IB Is and What IB Ain't]])

This wiki is Ill Bethisad's most elaborate source of information. It should be noted, however, that it is only one out of several places were materials regarding IB can be found. See the [[Links page]] for a list of websites, discussion fora, etc.

If you are interested in participation in the project, please read [[More about IB|this]] first. 

----

From the Archivum Anticum (19, February, 1999), one of the first descriptions of Ill Bethisad as a whole: 

''This is interesting. I don't think you have told us about the Kemrese. I gather the conworld is an alternate one maybe. Please tell us more!''

The Kemrese are simply the Brithenig speakers, who make occasional appearances on Conlang. It is indeed an alternate world; and one where the Latin language survives in Britain after the Romans retreated. 

[[Image:Logo-ib-new2.png|thumb]]
The intervening centuries have seen the political consolidation of the Kemrese state, and the amalgamation of Roman and Celtic culture. They've got a constitutional monarchy and most of the doodads associated with (reasonably) modern society. Some differences to note between *there* and *here*: long distance travel is accomplished by means of zeppelins, since aeroplanes are relegated to military use; life is a little slower-paced on the whole and technology isn't quite as advanced (though is probably more advanced in some areas): motorcars are not seen with the same high frequency, and indeed, many country roads are unpaved; trains play a significant role in land transport. The &quot;metric system&quot; is relegated to history books as a mad scheme adopted by the First French Republic, but was shortly abandoned; the whole world doesn't speak English (I think it may be safe to say that Brithenig, French and Spanish are strong contenders in the West); the money is not decimal (pounds / shillings / pence in much of western Europe; escudos / reales / maravedis (or similar) in Spain and Latin America). 

Culturally, the Kemrese consider themselves &quot;Romans&quot; and therefore aligned somewhat with the Latin world; but still have a firm Celtic root. There is some sort of clan system in effect (though I don't know much about it); loud bagpipes and clarinets, jigs and contradances, town brass bands and harp wielding bards figure prominently in the musical end of things; pubs, ale, football (nòt US style!), rugby, horseracing, and vocal political discourse (often in conjunction with the aforementioned ale in pubs) round out daily life fairly well.

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''Sir Artvir Karl Klaric''' (born December 16, 1917) is an author and inventor, probably most famous for his science fiction novel ''1999: A Space Journey''. It is loosely inspired by Klaric's short story &quot;The Sentinel&quot;, but it became its own novel while he was collaborating on a screen play with Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick approached Mr. Klaric about writing a novel for the express purpose of making &quot;the proverbial good science-fiction movie&quot;, and the novel was still being written while the film was being made. This resulted in one of the truly unique collaborations in media history.

He has written numerous other books, including the Rama novels and several sequels to ''1999'', and many short stories.

There is a species of Ceratopsian dinosaur, ''Serendipaceratops artvirklarikei'', discovered in Inverloch in [[Australasia]].

He lives on [[Ceylon]], and survived the çunamis of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, but lost his diving school on Hikkaduwa.

==Biography==

Klaric was born in [[Kemr]], and as a boy enjoyed stargazing and enthusiastically read old [[NAL-SLC|NALien]] science fiction magazines (many of which made their way to England as ballast in ships).  After secondary school, he was unable to afford university and consequently acquired a job as an auditor in the pensions section of the Board of Education.

During the [[Second Great War]], he served in the [[Royal Air Force]] (RAF) as a radar specialist and was involved in the early warning radar defense system which contributed to the Royal Air Force's success during the war.  After the war, he obtained a first class degree in mathematics and physics at King's College, London.

His most important contribution to the world may be the conception that geostationary satellites would be ideal telecommunications relays. He proposed this concept in a scientific paper titled &quot;Can Rocket Stations Give Worldwide Radio Coverage?&quot;, published in ''Wireless World'' in October 1945.  It has only been until recently that with [[ATOE]] and soon the [[Tysk-Skandinaviske Rum Compagnie|TSRC]] that geostationary orbit will be exploited for this purpose and is often referred to in scientific circles as the [[Klaric orbit]] in his honour.

In the early 1940s, while he was in the RAF, Klaric began selling his science fiction stories to magazines.  Klaric worked briefly as Assistant Editor of ''Science Abstracts'' before devoting himself to writing full-time from 1951.  He has been chairman of the British Interplanetary Society and a member of the Underwater Explorers Club.

He has lived in Colombo, [[Ceylon]], since 1956. This inspired the locale for his novel, ''Paradise's Fountains,'' in which he describes a [[space elevator]]. This, he figures, will ultimately be his legacy, more so than geostationary satellites, once space elevators make space shuttles obsolete.

Early in his career, Klaric had a fascination with the paranormal, and has stated that it was part of the inspiration for his novel ''The End of Innocence''. He has also said that he was one of several who were fooled by a Uri Geller demonstration at Birkbeck College. Although he has long since dismissed and distanced himself from most pseudo-science, he still advocates for research into purported instances of telekinesis and other similar phenomena.

Klaric is known to many for his television programmes ''Artvir Klaric's World of Mystery'' (1981) and ''Artvir Klaric's Universe of Strange Powers'' (1984).

In 1988 he was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome and has since been confined to a wheel-chair.

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''Paul Thordersen Xwítáw''' (1786-1853) was a theologist and a professor of Sanskrit, and was [[Xriwizaj Candra|Xríwizáj Canðra]]'s successor at Xrirampur University. Xwítáw was the son of [[Thordhur Jonsson fra Hvita|Þorður Jónsson frá Hvítá]] and his [[Bán̊glá]] wife. He was first educated by the missionaries of the [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] Missionary Society of Frederiksnagore, who educated him as a Lutheran priest.

Being trilingual in Danish, Icelandic, and Bengali, he developed a keen interest on the languages of East India at an early age. In his father's footstep, he joined the Kongelige Dansk Østindiske Selskab (Royal Danish East Indian Society) in 1804. That same year, after the publication of &quot;Lexicon Sanscritum, Latinum, Danicum et Germanicum&quot; by his father [[Thordhur Jonsson fra Hvita|Þorður Jónsson frá Hvítá]] and coauthor [[Xriwizaj Candra|Xríwizáj Canðra]], Xwítáw began his work on a companion version, &quot;Lexicon Sanscritum, Latinum, Anglicum, Britannicum et Gallicum&quot;, which was later published in 1808. Ten years later, he published the &quot;Bengalsk-Rigsmaal og Rigsmaal-Bengalsk Ordbog&quot;. Both books used the transcription system used in the &quot;Lexicon Sanscritum, Latinum, Danicum et Germanicum&quot;, and this inevitably came to set the standard of the [[Xryram͂pur Romanization|Transcription of Indian Writing Systems]] in the scholarly world. The name Xwítáw is in fact the Indianized transcription of Hvítá.

After [[Xriwizaj Candra|Xríwizáj Canðra]] died in 1828, Paul Thordersen Xwítáw succeeded as professor of Sanskrit in Xrirampur University.

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''INVASION!'''

'''CAISANUAI, [[Russo-Japanese Condominium Area|OUTER MANCHURIA]] (VLADIVOSTOK, EAST PRIMORYE.)'''

The East [[Russia]]n Army is in shambles, retreating toward Novosibirsk following crushing blows in Soccaitxi/East Primorye and the Okhotsk coast.  The invasion began today as [[Japan]]ese forces landed the length of the Primoryan and Okhotsk coasts.  [[Chukotka]] has already signed a peace treaty with Japan, most likely because of the Japanese Navy poised to strike just offshore.

It began with Japanese forces crossing into Soccaitxi at 6:45 local morning (9:45PM GMT), leaving [[Corea]] behind and sweeping north and east, to capture Caisanuai/Vladivostok by the setting of the sun.

General Quinomoto stood in the central square of Caisanuai amidst cheers of his soldiers and said, 'For too long, Russia has been a thorn in our side.'  He gesticulated around him. 'We can't trust the Russians.  This so-called 'Russian Federation' is nothing more than a temporary weakness.  If we did not invade now, the Russians would rebuild, and attack us again, the way they did when they stole [[Ezo]] from us!'

In synchronous attack, the 7th Armored Panzer Behälterabteilung broached the borders of the [[RTC]] at 10:45 PM (9:45PM GMT), and had secured Siodawa and Siora within an hour.  While the 7th plowed on to Lodz Field Marshall Karl von Preimern and the 11th Infanterie-Abteilung secured the line, preparing for the 5th Panzer Behälterabteilungs arrival on its way to Danzig.  Speaking to [[Germany|HRE]] Reporters who'd come along to the war zone, Von Preimern said, 'At no time in the past has our enemy to the east appeared so weak.  With the government teetering on the edge we will reclaim all Prussian lands.  We will welcome our new eastern citizens...' von Preimern paused, chuckling, '...after they have been successfully rehabilitated into good citizens of the Empire.'

Raising his arm at a stiffly held fourty-five degree angle he shouted 'Das Reich wird wieder groß!' (the Empire will again be great!) chorused by all soldiers in earshot.  The sight of the display drawing gasps and astonishment from the civilians.

Turning to a reporter from the Berliner Morgenpost, Field Marshall von Preimern touched his nose and
whispered loudly, a greedy look in his eye, 'After the RTC falls, it's on to Moscow!'

----

Thus begins ''The Eagle and the Sun'', [[Tom Clentsin]]'s latest novel.  In it, he portrays a [[Prussia]]n-[[Japan|Japanese]] alliance aimed at subduing the [[RTC|Republic of Two Crowns]] and [[Russia]].  Published in early 2004, it became obsolete almost as soon as it hit the book stores with [[Emperor Saisei]]'s surprise resignation from the throne, completely invalidating one of the major motivations behind [[Japan]]'s invasion in the novel - the desire of then-Emperor to reclaim [[Russo-Japanese Condominium Area|Outer Manchuria]] during his reign.

      <text xml:space="preserve">Itzak Asimov (c. January 2, 1920 - April 6, 1992) came to the North American League as a stowaway.  Hiding in his parent's suitcases to escape from [[SNOR|SNORist]] [[Russia]], Itzak arrived in the [[NAL-SLC|North American League]] and settled into life.  According to the Oxford English Dictionary, he was the first person to coin the word &lt;i&gt;[[Kawarics]]&lt;/i&gt;.

A prolific author, Azimov wrote a large number of books, most of them seeking to better the public perception of Kawars.  He is best known for his science fiction novels and for his science books for the average person.

Asimov also wrote a great number of mysteries and fantasy.  He is one of few authors who has managed to write something for every major division of libraries.  It is estimated that he wrote or edited more than 550 volumes and 100,000 letters or postcards.  The asteroid 5020 Azimov is named in his honour.  References to him and his 4 Laws of Kawarics are nearly constant in any sci-fi involving benevolent kawars.

==Biography==
Azimov was born around January 3, 1920.  His actual date of birth is unknown as records were not kept of his actual birthdate.  Born in Petrovichi, near Smolensk, [[Russia]], Azimov grew up in a jewish family.  His parents, Anna Rachel and Judah Azimov emigrated to the [[NAL]] when he was two years old.  A prevalent anecdote suggests that Azimov stowed away in his parent's luggage in order to come with them to the North American League from [[SNOR]]ist Russia.

Azimov taught himself to read by the age of 5, and grew up in [[Breuckelen]], [[Castreleon New]].  His parents owned a candy and chocolate store, in which the family worked together.  As he worked there, Azimov came across science fiction magazines and began reading them extensively.  By the age of 16 Azimov was submitting his own stories to science fiction publishers, and was soon after published.

After attending Columbia University in [[New Amsterdam]], Azimov graduated with a Doctorate in chemistry in 1948.  Joining the faculty at Massachussets Bay University in 1949, he remained an associate professor, but in a non-teaching role.  His salary ceased in 1958, but he had income from writing that exceeded his salary from his academic duties.  In 1979 he was promoted to full professor.  His personal papers are in archive at Massachussets Bay O'Kinneide Memorial Library, taking 464 boxes on 232 feet of shelf-space.

==Beliefs and politics==

Isaac Azimov was a humanist and a rationalist, and later espoused some of the ideals of [[ecotopism]]. He did not oppose genuine religious conviction in others but was against superstitious or unfounded beliefs. He enjoyed flying, doing so any chance he could, often cruising with his wife for months at a time while working on a novel.  This is attributed to his  claustrophilic tendencies; that is, he enjoyed small, enclosed spaces.  Azimov seemed to mostly prefer travelling with [[BOAC]], but in later years, he chose to travel on [[Venedair S.A.|Venedair]] and [[Air Louisianne]].

Azimov was a progressive on most political issues, and a staunch supporter of the [[Progressive Conservative]] Party.  In a television interview in the early 1970s he publicly endorsed [[James Wainwright]]. He was unhappy at what he saw as an irrationalist tack taken by many progressive political activists from the late 1960s onwards. His defense of civil applications of nuclear power was strong, but later lent his support to [[Tesla Generators]] as they became more widely available.

==Azimov's writing career==

===Overview===
Asimov's career can be divided into several time periods. His early career, dominated by science fiction, began with short stories in 1939. This lasted until about 1958, all but ending after publication of ''The Naked Sun.'' Following that, he greatly increased his production of non-fiction, consequently publishing little science fiction. Over the next quarter century, he would write only four science fiction novels. Starting in 1982, the second half of his science fiction career began with the publication of ''Alliance's Frontier''. From then until his death, Azimov would publish many sequels to his existing novels, tying them together in a way he had not originally anticipated.
&lt;!--


===Science fiction===

Asimov began contributing stories to science fiction magazines in [[1939]], ''[[Marooned Off Vesta]]'' being his first published story, written when he was 18. Two and a half years later, he published his 32nd short story, ''[[Nightfall (Asimov)|Nightfall]]'' ([[1941]]), which is described in ''Bewildering Stories'', issue 8, as one of &quot;the most famous science-fiction stories of all time&quot; [http://www.bewilderingstories.com/issue8/asimov.html]. In [[1968]] the Science Fiction Writers of America voted ''Nightfall'' the best science fiction short story ever written [http://www.rudysbooks.com/asimovobit.html]. In his short anthology ''Nightfall and Other Stories'' he wrote, &quot;The writing of 'Nightfall' was a watershed in my professional career ... I was suddenly taken seriously and the world of science fiction became aware that I existed. As the years passed, in fact, it became evident that I had written a 'classic'.&quot; 

In [[1942]] he began his ''Foundation'' stories&amp;mdash;later collected in the ''[[Foundation Trilogy]]'': ''[[Foundation (novel)|Foundation]]'' ([[1951]]), ''[[Foundation and Empire]]'' ([[1952]]), and ''[[Second Foundation]]'' ([[1953]])&amp;mdash;which recount the collapse and rebirth of a vast [[Galactic Empire (Asimov)|interstellar empire]] in a universe of the future. Taken together, they are his most famous work of science fiction, along with the [[Robot Series]].  Many years later, he continued the series with ''[[Foundation's Edge]]'' ([[1982]]) and ''[[Foundation and Earth]]'' ([[1986]]) and then went back to before the original trilogy with ''[[Prelude to Foundation]]'' ([[1988]]) and ''[[Forward the Foundation]]'' ([[1992]]).

His [[robot]] stories&amp;mdash;many of which were collected in ''[[I, Robot]]'' ([[1950]])&amp;mdash;were begun at about the same time. They promulgated a set of rules of [[ethics]] for [[robot]]s (see [[Three Laws of Robotics]]) and intelligent machines that greatly influenced other writers and thinkers in their treatment of the subject. One such short story, ''[[The Bicentennial Man]]'' was made into a movie starring [[Robin Williams]].

The recent film ''[[I, Robot (movie)|I, Robot]]'', starring [[Will Smith]], was based on the ''[[Hardwired]]'' script by [[Jeff Vintar]] with Asimov's ideas incorporated later after acquiring the rights to the ''I, Robot'' title by the [[20th Century Fox]]. It is not related to the ''I, Robot'' script by [[Harlan Ellison]], who collaborated with Asimov himself to create a version which captured the spirit of the original. Asimov is quoted as saying that Ellison's screenplay would lead to &quot;the first really adult, complex, worthwhile science fiction movie ever made.&quot; The screenplay was published in book form in 1994, after hopes of seeing it in film form were becoming slim. See: [[I, Robot]], [http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/bottom/56.html]

He also wrote a spoof science article, ''[[Thiotimoline|The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline]]'' in [[1948]], which he feared would affect his chances of obtaining his doctorate.

Having spent much of the [[1940s]] on the ''Foundation'' series and ''I, Robot'', he returned to writing short stories for science fiction magazines in the [[1950s]], which he refers to as his golden decade. A number of these are included in his ''[[The Best of Isaac Asimov|Best of]]'' anthology, including ''[[The Last Question]]'' ([[1956]]), his personal favorite and considered by many to be a contender to ''Nightfall''. It deals with the ability of humankind to cope with and overcome [[entropy]].

Beginning in [[1977]], he lent his name to ''[[Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine]]'' (now ''[[Asimov's Science Fiction]]'') and penned an editorial for each issue.  There was also a short-lived ''Asimov's SF Adventure Magazine'' and a companion ''Asimov's Science Fiction Anthology'' reprint series, published as magazines (in the same manner as stablemates ''[[Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine]]'' and ''[[Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine]]'''s &quot;anthologies&quot;).

===Popular science===

During the late [[1950s]] and [[1960s]], Asimov shifted gears somewhat, and substantially decreased his fiction output (he published only four adult novels between [[1957]]'s ''[[The Naked Sun]]'' and [[1982]]'s ''Foundation's Edge'', two of which were mysteries). At the same time, he greatly increased his non-fiction production, writing mostly on science topics; the launch of [[Sputnik]] in [[1957]] engendered public concern over a &quot;science gap&quot;, which Asimov's publishers were eager to fill with as much material as he could write. Meanwhile, the monthly ''[[Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction]]'' invited him to continue his regular non-fiction column, begun in the now-folded bimonthly companion magazine ''[[Venture Science Fiction]]'', ostensibly dedicated to [[popular science]], but with Asimov having complete editorial freedom. The first of the ''F&amp;SF'' columns appeared in November of [[1958]], and they followed uninterrupted thereafter, with 399 entries, until Asimov's terminal illness took its toll.  These columns, periodically collected into books by his principal publisher, [[Doubleday]], helped make Asimov's reputation as a &quot;Great Explainer&quot; of science and were referred to by him as his only pop-science writing in which he never had to assume complete ignorance of the subjects at hand on the part of his readers.  The popularity of his first wide-ranging reference work, ''The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science'', also allowed him to give up most of his academic responsibilities and become essentially a full-time freelance writer.

He published ''Asimov's Guide to the Bible'' in two volumes&amp;mdash;covering the [[Old Testament]] in [[1967]] and the [[New Testament]] in [[1969]]&amp;mdash;and then combined them into one 1300-page volume in [[1981]]. Replete with maps and tables, the guide goes through the books of the [[Bible]] in order, explaining the history of each one and the political influences that affected it, as well as biographical information about the important characters.

Asimov also wrote several essays on the social contentions of his day, including &quot;Thinking About Thinking&quot; and &quot;Science: Knock Plastic&quot; ([[1967]]).

===Other===

Never entirely lacking wit and humor, towards the end of his life Asimov published a series of collections of [[limerick (poetry)|limericks]], mostly written by himself, starting with ''[[Lecherous Limericks]]'', which appeared in [[1975]]. His ''Treasury of Humor'' is both a working joke book and a treatise propounding his views on humor theory. According to Asimov, the most essential element of humor is an abrupt change in point of view, one that suddenly shifts focus from the important to the trivial, or from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Asimov published two volumes of autobiography: ''[[In Memory Yet Green]]'' ([[1979]]) and ''[[In Joy Still Felt]]'' ([[1980]]). A third autobiography, ''I. Asimov: A Memoir'', was published in April [[1994]].  The epilogue was written by [[Janet Asimov]] (née Jeppson), shortly after his death.

===Literary themes===
{{spoiler}} 

Much of Asimov's fiction dealt with themes of [[paternalism]]. His first robot story, &quot;[[Robbie]]&quot;, concerned a robotic [[nanny]]. As the robots grew more sophisticated, their interventions became more wide-reaching and subtle. In &quot;[[Evidence (Asimov)|Evidence]]&quot;, a robot masquerading as a human successfully runs for elective office.  In &quot;[[The Evitable Conflict]]&quot;, the robots ran humanity from behind the scenes, acting as caretakers to the whole species. 

Later, in ''[[Robots and Empire]]'', a robot develops what he calls the [[Zeroth Law of Robotics]], which states that &quot;A robot may not injure humanity, nor, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm&quot;. He also decides that robotic presence is stifling humanity's freedom, and that the best course of action is for the robots to phase themselves out. A non-robot story, ''[[The End of Eternity]]'', features a similar conflict and resolution.

In [[The Foundation Series]] (which did not originally have robots), a scientist implements a semi-secret plan to create a [[utopia|perfect society]] over the course of 1000 years. This series has its version of [[Plato's Republic|Platonic guardians]], called the Second Foundation, to perfect and protect the plan. When Asimov stopped writing the series in the [[1950s]], the Second Foundation was depicted as benign protectors of humanity. When he revisted the series in the [[1980s]], he made the paternalistic themes even more explicit.

''[[Foundation's Edge]]'' introduced the planet [[Gaia (planet)|Gaia]], obviously based on the [[Gaia hypothesis]]. Every animal, plant, and mineral on Gaia participated in a shared consciousness, forming a single super-mind, and working together for the greater good. In ''[[Foundation and Earth]]'', the protagonist must decide whether or not to allow the development of [[Galaxia]], a larger version of Gaia, encompassing the entire galaxy.

''Foundation and Earth'' introduces robots to the Foundation universe.  Two of Asimov's last novels, ''[[Prelude to Foundation]]'' and ''[[Forward the Foundation]]'', explore their behavior in fuller detail. The robots are depicted as [[covert operative]]s, acting for the benefit of humanity.

==Criticisms==

Asimov was criticised for the lack of sex and aliens in his science fiction.  Asimov once explained that his reluctance to write about aliens came from an incident early in his career when one of his early science fiction stories was rejected because the alien characters were portrayed as superior to the humans.  He decided that, rather than write weak alien characters, he would not write about aliens at all.  Nevertheless, in response to these criticisms he wrote ''[[The Gods Themselves]]'', which contains aliens, sex, and alien sex.  Asimov said that of all his writings, he was most proud of the middle section of ''The Gods Themselves''.

Others have criticised him for a lack of strong female characters in his early work. In his autobiographical writings, he acknowledges this, and responds by pointing to inexperience.

==Quotes==

* &quot;If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.&quot;
* &quot;Early in my school career, I turned out to be an incorrigible disciplinary problem. I could understand what the teacher was saying as fast as she could say it, I found time hanging heavy, so I would occasionally talk to my neighbor. That was my great crime, I talked.&quot;
* &quot;I prefer [[rationalism]] to [[atheism]]. The question of [[God]] and other objects-of-faith are outside reason and play no part in rationalism, thus you don't have to waste your time in either attacking or defending.&quot;
* &quot;If I could trace my origins to [[Judas Maccabaeus]] or [[King David]], that would not add one inch to my stature. It may well be that many [[eastern Europe|East European]] [[Jew]]s are descended from [[Khazars]], I may be one of them. Who knows? And who cares?&quot;
* &quot;In [[1936]], I first wrote science fiction. It was a long-winded attempt at writing an endless novel...which died. I remember one sentence, 'Whole forests stood sere and brown in midsummer.'. That was the first Asimovian science-fiction sentence.&quot;
* &quot;Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.&quot;
* &quot;Night was a wonderful time in Brooklyn in the [[1930s]]. [[Air conditioning]] was unknown except in [[film|movie]] houses, and so was [[television]]. There was nothing to keep one in the house. Furthermore, few people owned [[automobile]]s, so there was nothing to carry one away. That left the streets and the stoops. The very fullness served as an inhibition to [[crime]].&quot;
* &quot;No one can possibly have lived through the [[Great Depression]] without being scarred by it. No amount of experience since the depression can convince someone who has lived through it that the world is safe [[economics|economically]].&quot;
* &quot;True [[literacy]] is becoming an arcane art and the [[United States]] is steadily dumbing down.&quot;
* &quot;Until I became a published writer, I remained completely ignorant of books on how to write and courses on the subject...they would have spoiled my natural style; made me observe caution; would have hedged me with rules.&quot;
* &quot;When I read about the way in which [[library]] funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that [[United States|American]] [[society]] has found one more way to destroy itself.&quot;
* &quot;What I ''will'' be remembered for are the Foundation Trilogy and the [[Three Laws of Robotics]]. What I ''want'' to be remembered for is no one book, or no dozen books. Any single thing I have written can be paralleled or even surpassed by something someone else has done. However, my total corpus for quantity, quality and ''variety'' can be duplicated by no one else. That is what I want to be remembered for&quot;, [[September 20]], [[1973]], ''Yours, Isaac Asimov,'' page 329.

'''Wenedyk''' (in English: Venedic) is a [[constructed language]] of the naturalistic kind, created by the Dutch translator [[Jan van Steenbergen]]. It is used in the fictional ''Republic of the Two Crowns'' (based on the ''[[Republic of Two Nations]]''), in the [[alternate history (fiction)|alternate timeline]] of [[Ill Bethisad]]. Officially, Wenedyk is a descendant of [[Vulgar Latin]] with a strong [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] admixture, based on the premise that the [[Roman Empire]] incorporated the ancestors of the [[Poles]] in their territory. Unofficially, it tries to show what [[Polish language|Polish]] would have looked like if it had been a [[Romance languages|Romance]] instead of a [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] language. 

The idea for the language was inspired by such languages as [[Brithenig]], [[Breathanach]] and [[Kerno]]. The language itself is based entirely on ([[Vulgar Latin|Vulgar]]) [[Latin]] and [[Polish language|Polish]]: all phonological, morphological, and syntactic changes that made Polish develop from [[Common Slavic language|Common Slavic]] are applied to Vulgar Latin. On the Internet, it is well-recognized as an example of the altlang genre, much like Brithenig and Breathanach.

Wenedyk plays a role in the [[alternate history (fiction)|alternate history]] of [[Ill Bethisad]], where it is one of the official languages of the [http://www.geocities.com/wenedyk/ib/rtc.html Republic of the Two Crowns].  In 2005 Wenedyk underwent a major revision due to a better understanding of Latin and Slavic sound and grammar changes.

The dictionary on the WWW page linked below contains around 3000 entries.

==Example==
[[The Lord's Prayer]]:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
''Potrze nostry, kwały jesz en czałór, sąciewkaty si twej numię.'' &lt;br /&gt;
''Owień twej rzeń.'' &lt;br /&gt;
''Foca si twa włątać, komód en czału szyk i sur cierze.'' &lt;br /&gt;
''Da nów odzej nostry pań kocidzany.'' &lt;br /&gt;
''I dziemieć nów nostrze dziewta, komód i nu dziemiećmy swór dziewtorzór.'' &lt;br /&gt;
''I nie endycz nosz en ciętaceń, uta liwra nosz dzie mału.'' &lt;br /&gt;
''Nąk twie są rzeń i pociestać i głurza, o siąprz. Amen.''
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

      <comment>/* The Play */</comment>
      <text xml:space="preserve">First production was scheduled for Prák, Bohemia, in January of 1921, but due to financial struggles, Capek left the Bohemian Kingdom and staged the play in &amp;#321;ód&amp;#378;, Veneda, Republic of the Two Crowns.  

In K.U.K., Capek presents a seeming paradise, where machines bring huge benefits initially, but in the end cause just as much blight as existed before their use due to unemployment and social unrest.  That the [[kawar]]s have come to be seen as metal automatons was beyond Capek's idea.  His Kawars were chemical creations, only largely used in Fiction by [[Itzak Azimov]] as androids, beings of flesh-like substance with a metallic internal structure.

==The Play==

The play begins in a factory that makes 'artificial people' — they are called Kawars, but are closer to the modern idea of androids or even clones, creatures who can be mistaken for humans. They can plainly think for themselves. Although they seem happy to work for humans, that changes and leads to the end of the human race due to a hostile robot rebellion. The play premiered in Prák in 1921. It was translated from Venedic into English by Paul Selver, and adapted for the English stage by Nigel Playfair in 1923. Basil Dean produced it in April 1923 for the Reandean Company at St. Martin's Theatre, London. The play's North American premier was in [[Castreleon New]] in October 1922. It also played in Chicago and Philadelphia during 1923.

After having finished the manuscript, Capek realized that he had created a modern version of the old Golem legend. He later took a different approach to the same theme in ''War with the Salamanders'', in which non-humans become a servant class in human society.

K.U.K is dark but not hopeless, and it was successful in its day in both Europe and the [[NAL-SLC]]. In the American production, Spencer Tracy played one of the robots, in one of his earliest roles.

In February 1938, a thirty-five minute adaptation of a section of the play was broadcast on BBC Television — the first piece of television science-fiction ever to be produced. In 1948, another adaptation — this time of the entire play and running to ninety minutes — was screened by the BBC, and in between in 1941 BBC radio had also produced a radio play version. None of these three productions survive in the BBC's archives.

A more modern (1990) translation in English is available in Toward the Radical Center: A Karel Capek Reader, published by Catbird Press.

The upcoming film adaptation, titled simply K.U.K., is slated for a 2011 release from  [[Apex Productions]]

Pronunciation: [mra:ts], feminine '''Mraca''' ['mratsa]

== Pavel Mrác==

(aka Paulus Martius, Paul Mratz, Paul Mr&amp;#x00e1;ce, Paolo Mrazzi, Pavel Mra&amp;#x00e7;, Pawe&amp;#x142; Mrac), 1833-1898: Philologist, folklorist and poet born 1833 in Heidelberg as second child and eldest son of a Slevan father, Peter &lt;nowiki&gt;Mrác/Mratz&lt;/nowiki&gt; and a German mother Catharina Schreiber.

After studies of primarily Romance philology in [[Germany]], the [[Republic of the Two Crowns]], Paris and the Italies he in 1857 visited [[Slevania]] together with his younger brother Martin, and both became entranced with the language and folk music of their fatherland.  While Martin remained behind in Slevania collecting folk music Pavel went again to Italy in 1859, where he married Maria Bozzini.  Thereafter he settled in Heidelberg.  From there he sent out dialect questionnaires to parish priests all over the {{SLVL}}-speaking territories.  Among these he selected twenty representative or more interesting sites where he directed his brother Martin to carry out more thoroughgoing investigations and thus gained a huge hoard of lexical and grammatical information on all the {{SLVA}} dialects.  He also obtained all manner of such older texts that existed, particularly several manuscript versions of the catechism originally written by Matjas Kvjat&amp;#x00ed;lj in the 16th century.  Based on this material he compiled the first edition of &lt;i&gt;Gramatika i Diciunair Slvain&amp;#x00e7;a&lt;/i&gt; (Modern spelling &lt;i&gt;Gramatika i Diczunarj Slv&amp;#x00e1;nca&lt;/i&gt; Heidelberg 1861).

In the following year (1862) Mr&amp;#x00e1;c with the help of the ''Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft'' published a modernized and strongly puristic version of the Kvjat&amp;#x00ed;lj catechism which was sent to all {{SLVA}} parishes.  At the same time his brother Martin, who had just married Anna Kovacs, started the first {{SLVA}} newspaper &lt;i&gt;Corier Slevanie&amp;#x00e7;&lt;/i&gt; in Poz&amp;#243;nj.  However the orthography and puristic language form, devised by Pavel Mr&amp;#x00e1;c, which was used in these publications caused the beginning of the long- lasting {{SLVA}} language controversy, which caused P. Mr&amp;#x00e1;c to undertake a journey to the major Slevan towns in order to rally support for his national romanticism, coinciding with the publication of Martin Mr&amp;#x00e1;c's edition of Slevan folk songs &lt;i&gt;Carmina Silvanica&lt;/i&gt; 1863.  These activities alerted the Hungarian authorities who were struck with fear for a Slevan national uprising.  As a result Pavel Mr&amp;#x00e1;c was extradited to Germany, and Martin Mr&amp;#x00e1;c was imprisoned, but was released after only three days through the intervention of his father-in-law who was an officer in the Hungarian army.  Contrary to the intentions of the Hungarian authorities this made the Mr&amp;#x00e1;c brothers widely popular and engendered support for their national romanticism also in quarters that opposed the Mr&amp;#x00e1;cian orthography and linguistic purism.  This popularity only increased when in the following year (1864) Martin published an opera &lt;i&gt;&amp;#x00c7;ecelia (Ceczelja)&lt;/i&gt; with text by Pavel Mr&amp;#x00e1;c and based on a folk tale.  The burghers of the Slevan towns founded singer lodges and culture societies, several people started collecting folk tales, and the signature [[Mark Urelj|Mark Ur&amp;#x00e9;lj]] began publishing chamber plays in the taste of the time.

In 1866 Pavel Mr&amp;#x00e1;c published his most important academic work &lt;i&gt;Ueber die nordostromanischen oder slaworomanischen Sprachen&lt;/i&gt;, where he investigated and elucidated the linguistic and historical relations of {{SLVL}} and Wenedyk.  This work earned him the professorship in Romance languages in Kardun in the [[RTC]] in 1870.  For this reason his great etymological dictionary of the North-East Romance languages was published in Wenedyk (&lt;i&gt;Dziconarz etymologik l&amp;#281;gwar nordko-orz&amp;#281;ta&amp;#322;oroma&amp;#324;ku u s&amp;#322;aworoma&amp;#324;ku&lt;/i&gt;, Kardun 1873), as was the second edition of his &lt;i&gt;magnum opus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Dzie l&amp;#281;gwar nordko-orz&amp;#281;ta&amp;#322;oroma&amp;#324;ku u s&amp;#322;aworoma&amp;#324;ku&lt;/i&gt;, Kardun 1876) which was enlarged not least with much material on [[Slezan]] and the dialects of Wenedyk.  After 1876 he published himself academically only in the periodical &lt;i&gt;Romanica Carrodunensia&lt;/i&gt; which he had founded.  This change has been attributed to the death of his wife in the said year, although it should be noted that many of the articles are of nearly book length, and that some articles form quite voluminous series, especially his &lt;i&gt;&amp;#x00c9;tudes sur les langues romanes de l'Am&amp;#x00e9;rique&lt;/i&gt; and his rediscovery of Louis Lemontaigners works on [[FrathWiki:Bâzrâmani|Bâzrâmani]].  He also published himself poetically in {{SLVL}}, although he is considered inferior as a poet to [[Mark Urelj|Mark Ur&amp;#x00e9;lj]] and other contemporaries. 

Pavel Mr&amp;#x00e1;c died in Kardun in 1898.  In 1998 his remains were transferred to [[Kasovlja]].

== Martin Mrác ==

Lived 1835-1917.  Younger brother of Pavel, musician, composer, musicologist, journalist and folklorist. Collected Slevan folk songs and folk-music simultanously as working as the main fieldworker of his brother.  This resulted in the publishing of the folk song collection &lt;i&gt;Carmina Silvanica&lt;/i&gt; 1863, and of &lt;i&gt;Musica Silvanica&lt;/i&gt; in 1871.  His first published more independent composition was the 1864 libretto of the opera &lt;i&gt;&amp;#x00c7;ecelia (Ceczelja)&lt;/i&gt;, with text by Pavel Mr&amp;#x00e1;c and based on a folk tale.  In the same vein he later composed a series of &lt;i&gt;Tancy Slvanjci&lt;/i&gt; and chamber music in the Italian style, for the various orchestras where he was a member or director, which however were not published until after his death (by Karol Jelj&amp;#225;n).  The original folk compositions underlying &lt;i&gt;Carmina Silvanica&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Musica Silvanica&lt;/i&gt; are under publication under the auspices of the faculty of music at [[Kasovlja]] University. Married to singer Anna Kovács, known for her renderings of Hungarian and Slevan folk songs, often arranged by her husband.

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''Xríwizáj Canðra''' (1757-1828) was a [[Bán̊glá]] philologist, one of the first member of the Kongelige Danske Østindiske Selskab (Royal Danish East Indian Society), and the first professor of [[Sam̃skrytam]] in Frederiksnagore's [[Xryram͂pur University]]. At a young age, he attached himself to westerners and their scholarly pursuits.

In 1804, Xrívizáj Canðra and [[Thordhur Jonsson fra Hvita|Þorður Jónsson frá Hvítá]] compiled a very famous and influential &quot;Lexicon Sanscritum, Latinum, Danicum et Germanicum&quot; which came to set the standard for the [[Xryram͂pur Romanization|Transcription of Indian Writing Systems]] in the scholarly world, especially after [[Paul Thordersen Xwitaw|Paul Thordersen Xwítáw]] edited a &quot;Lexicon Sanscritum, Latinum, Anglicum, Britannicum et Gallicum&quot; companion version, and a &quot;Bengalsk-Rigsmaal og Rigsmaal-Bengalsk Ordbog&quot; which used the system.

In 1818, the year the [[Xryram͂pur University]] was established in Frederiksnagore, Xríwizáj Canðra became its first professor of [[Sam̃skrytam]]. The professorship was awarded in recognition for a long and excellent service to an already mature scholar.

      <text xml:space="preserve">The '''Moxisei Series''' (If-World) is a popular alternative history series by the author Motosuwa Quirica.  The point of divergence is in the late 19th century.  [[China]] is far weaker, and their Emperor is overthrown in 1892.  [[Japan]] grows into a major military power in the early 20th century, allying with the [[Germany|Holy Roman Empire]] in the [[First Great War]], capturing the [[Russia]]n Far East.  They go on to colonize [[Corea]], taking pieces of [[China]], including all of [[Manchuria]].  At their height, during the Asia-Pacific War, the Greater Japanese Empire includes much of Asian Russia (including [[Chukotka]]), most of northern and central China, [[Alyaska]], [[Oregon]], nearly all of the Pacific and most of southeast Asia.

They incur the wrath of the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]], and are defeated in a bloody war, involving a massive invasion, and the atom-bombing of several major cities.  The latest novels bring this alternate timeline to the 1970's, and the beginnings of a Japanese Resurgence, as [[Japan]] takes advantage of its position near [[Russia]] (a [[communism|Communist]] nation in this timeline) to strengthen its position vis-a-vis the Commonwealth.  The Imperial House is restored to power, and the Empire reunited.  The series is up to 8 novels.  They've been criticized from some corners as overly nationalistic, and from other corners as excessively ''anti''-nationalistic.  Rumors have popped up from time to time about movies being made from the series, but nothing has happened yet.

==History==
Skuodia started to emerge in about the 4th or 5th century AD, when a group of Pomorian Slavs migrated across the Baltic Sea to approximately what is now Skuodia and the adjacent regions of [[Latvia]]. The exact dates of this settlement are unclear, but at least Iordanes mentions certain &lt;i&gt;skodae&lt;/i&gt; in connection with the Goths' 2nd century resettlement southwards. Incidentally, this &lt;i&gt;skodae&lt;/i&gt; is glossed (in Gothic!) as &lt;i&gt;so skaudisko &amp;thorn;iuda&lt;/i&gt;.

Be that as it may, in early 6th century BC we have a German manuscript now kept in the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford, mentioning &lt;i&gt;regio skudorum trans mari Germanico&lt;/i&gt;, whence a certain St. Brendan came to Trier. Apparently Skuodia had some contacts with the rest of Christian Europe, but it was less touched by the turmoil of the time. Skuodian culture of that period is typically compared with [[Ireland]], as it is a peripheral region which has both preserved the Christian heritage and absorbed local culture. The rich literary tradition of Old Skuodian is one of the principal sources for comparative Indo-European and Finno-Ugric mythological studies; however it also provides some invaluable information on early medieval Christian culture.

The principal collection of Old Skuodian documents is situated in the Archives of the [[Archbishopric of Skuoda]] where the chronicles have been kept in line unbroken from 923 AD. In 1772, under an order from Empress [[Catherine II]] of [[Russia]] most of the Archive was transferred to St. Petersburg to the Imperial archives and the documents had been kept at the Hermitage for the past two centuries. In 1993, as an act of goodwill, the government of the [[Russia| Russian Federation]] agreed to surrender those priceless manuscripts back to where they belong. They are now on display at the Skuodian National Museum of History in Krieloske near Skuoda.  These archives include several 10th century records of the Skuodian learned oral tradition, for example the [[Sluovo Guolodoboreskuo]] (‘The Tale of Vladobor’), often seen as Skuodia’s national epic.

The Skuodian realm appears to have encompassed, for a long time, two sides of the Baltic. Pomorian Skuodia was, however, finally crushed by the Germanic onslaught. It can also be hypothesized that the languages of the two parts of the principality would be drifting apart, since that of modern Skuodia would come under extremely strong influence from the Finnic and Baltic tribes over whom the invading Slavs ruled. As a result, Skuodian took its peculiar shape.

The Principality of Skuodia encompassed large territories on the eastern shore of the Baltic, striving to control the Finnic and Baltic majority there. Especially prominent in this respect were the Curs, a Baltic tribe who ravaged the coasts of the Baltic. After the Battle of B&amp;auml;lol&amp;auml;se (1074), where the Skuodians were victorious, Skuodian domination was finally established.

Skuodian was elevated to a high status then, and most of the extant Old Skuodian texts are known from manuscripts of this period. The princely court at Skuoda was an important cultural centre. Famous figures of that time include Danile Konisenike, Aliesandare Guornike and Jovane Pierbiegune, abbot of the Monastery of St. Theophilus.

The splendour of Skuodia came to an end after the wars with the Teutonic and Livonian Orders and subsequently the rise of [[Lithuania]], who controlled Baltic trade through the Daugava and the port of Riga. In 1437 the Skuodians were defeated by the joint forces of [[Lithuania]] and Pskov. By the Treaty of Kaunas, signed the following year, Prince Aliesiej surrendered his sceptre to the Grand Duke of [[Lithuania]]. Skuodian quickly lost its status as an official language and came under strong influence from Lithuanian and subsequently [[Wenedyk]]. This twilight period is known as Middle Skuodian. The monasteries, however, kept the written tradition flickering, and the towns of Skuoda and Liepiet’eke (the latter a [[Hanseatic League| Hansa]] member) made sure the language did not die out completely. The area, however, was diminished, especially in the more northerly regions.

|}
After the partitions of the [[Republic of the Two Crowns| RTC]], Skuodian territory became divided into two halves: the north went to [[Russia]], and the south remained with [[Lithuania]]. This became in part a trigger for the national revival, which hit Skuodia almost as hard as any other nation in Europe. The [[Russia| Russian]] authorities did not permit much publishing (and talking) in Skuodian, as they had learned to be wary of national revivals, thinking them dangerous and prone to turn into revolutionary movements. On the southern side of the border, however, things went a little better. This period produced such brilliant writers as Markus Jovanuove, Teodore Senivekuove and Aliesandare Potikine, the creators of the modern literary language.

The fortunes were reversed after GW1, as northern Skuodia became part of [[Latvia]] and the southern fell under the dominance of independent Lithuania, where minorities were suppressed. The plight of the Skuodians, like that of the [[Belarus| Belarusians]], was picked up by the [[SNOR]], and after GWII Skuodian independence was reinstitutionalized as the Slavic Republic of Skuodia. It was not until after the collapse of the [[SNOR]] that Skuodia got true independence.

Now the Principality of Skuodia (Koniengestvo Skuodija) is a constitutional monarchy. The current Prince (&lt;i&gt;konienge&lt;/i&gt;) is Timotieje II. His lineage goes right back to the ancient Skuodian princes, and these were, according to legend, called from Denmark. Prince Timotieje can claim lineage from Scef mentioned in &lt;i&gt;Beowulf&lt;/i&gt;.

Skuodia is a lively and vibrant culture. Situated on the ancient crossroads of [[Eastern Europe]], in the Baltic, Skuodia enjoys more than 1 500 years of tolerance, dialogue and exchange. As a member of the [[Baltic League]], Skuodia plays a part in all the developments in the region, and has been termed ‘The [[Jervaine]] of [[Eastern Europe]]’.

==Geography==
Skuodia is delimited by [[Latvia]] (in the north), by [[Lithuania]] ([[RTC]]) in the south, and by the Baltic Sea in the west.

      <text xml:space="preserve">{{SNORism}}
'''SNOR''' ('''СНОР = Союз Народного Обновления России''', ''Sojuz Narodnogo Obnovlenija Rossii'', &quot;Union for the National Renewal of Russia&quot;) is the name of the [[Russia|Russian]] political party (annex mass movement) founded in 1923 by the White generals [[Kolchak|Aleksandr Kolchak]], Anton Denikin, Pyotr Vrangel, and Nikolai Yudenich in an attempt to gain popular support for their regime.

The highest body of the SNOR was the so-called &quot;White Council&quot;. It took care of all day-to-day decisions taken by the party, and was responsible for most appointments within and without the party. The White Council enjoyed much more power than the government, and the chairman of the White Council was de facto head of the Russian state; after the death of Czar Aleksei the throne remained vacant and the chairman of the White Council always acted as regent.

[[Image:Russie-snor.PNG|left|]]The program of the SNOR was ardently nationalist. The generals portrayed [[Russia]] as the poor victim of the rich West and announced a huge pay-back to those who had brought misery to Russia. Russia's broken national pride had to be restored by the violent reacquisition of every lost territory and severe punishment of those who were considered guilty. Ultimately, they wanted the Third Rome to become the ruler of a huge territory between the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian Oceans. In their messianic propaganda, the Russian nation had been appointed by God as the saviour of the world. Non-Slavic national minorities on the other hand were considered a serious threat to Russia's national awakening and therefore severely oppressed. 

Another important factor in the SNOR's ideology was Russian Orthodoxy. Even more than the language, it was considered a vital constituent of the Russian national spirit, and as such heavily promoted. The Russian Orthodox Church could highly benefit from this situation and became an ardent supporter of the regime, even though a patriarch had to be killed first to achieve that purpose.

Other elements that played a role in the SNOR ideology, were anti-communism and pan-Slavism. With the decades, this type of Russian or Slavic nationalism became commonly known as &quot;SNORism&quot;.

[[Image:Propaganda2a.jpg|thumb|Early Snorist propaganda poster]]

Under this program, the SNOR ruled Russia with an iron fist until its ultimate fall in the early 1990s. During the decades of its existence, ideological terror had reached its peak under the rule of SNOR leader [[Vissarionov|Iosif Vissarionov]]. After that, ideology had grown less important. From the late sixties onwards, the SNOR became more and more populated with people who completely did not believe in the party's original ideas and used them only as a façade to hide their blind pursuit for their own personal interests. Corruption grew to inconceivable proportions. The government was guided mostly by opportunism and used its own ideology merely as a legimation of its actions.

Despite the fact that the SNOR was dismantled and banned in 1991, former members of it still play an important role in the army, in business, and in national and (particularly) regional politics. Especially in Muscovy, the Uralic republics, and Siberia, nostalgia after the &quot;glorious days&quot; of the SNOR period is a considerable political factor. In the political vacuum that exists today, several post-snorist parties exist, the largest of which is led by a certain Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

==The Second Great War==

[[Image:Snor.jpg|thumb|Countries that had SNORist governments.]]

Following the examples  of ''Ladoga'' (pro-White, later pro-SNOR extremistic party in [[Nassland]] 1920-1940) and ''Sovebodena Ladoga'' (Free Ladoga, SNOR-like party installed by SNOR to &quot;rule&quot; [[Ladogian Republic]] 1924-1940), during the Second Great War and especially in the decades after, parties similar to the SNOR emerged in many [[Eastern Europe|Central and East European]] countries. Most of them, like the ''Slov'jans'ke Bratstvo'' (Slavic Brotherhood, SLOB) in [[Ukraine]], the ''Solveneska Iznovorodena Setarna'' (Slavic Renaissance Party, SIS) in [[Nassland]], and the [[FNLS|Front Nacunale pru Liberacune Slvanje]] (National Front for the Liberation of Slevania, FNLS) in [[Slevania]], had been founded in 1930s or the early 1940s as small, pro-Russian satellite parties that adhered to the SNORist ideology. However, when after the war Russia successfully maintained its dominant position in the countries it had liberated from [[Germany|German]] and [[Hungary|Hungarian]] occupation, many of these parties became the nucleus of new single-party regimes, transforming their countries into Russian puppet states. These SNORist parties were completely obedient and even servile to Russia, although some of them allowed themselves significantly more liberties than others. It should be noted that not every country within the Russian sphere of influence was provided with a SNORist party; some countries, like [[Latvia]] and [[Turkestan]], were ruled by military juntas instead, while for other snorist regimes, like the [[Estonia]]n RUR regime, were founded after Russia took over.

SNORism also had its impact on the arts, in the form of [[National Realism]].

== Origin of the Snorist Emblem ==
[[Image:Proto-snor.png|thumb|The &quot;White Eagles&quot; unit banner]]
No one is certain of the identity of its original designer nor when the SNORist Emblem made its first appearance. A similar though more heraldic looking emblem had been used by one of Kornilov's Shock Troops units (the so called &quot;White Eagles&quot; battalion) during the Russian Civil War. Historians believe that as an elite unit (and one which served on more then one front), this would have given their emblem a high level of recognition and could have incited Kolchak to choose the eagle-and-cross as a symbol both of Russians but also of past martial merits. 

The first official apperance of the Snorist emblem is in annex B of the 1923 Russian Constitution which described the new national hymn and symbols. Unofficially however, the symbol had been in use by White Army troops for some time.

== Life under SNORism ==
Please see [[Life under SNORism]].

== Neo-Snorism ==
Recent years have seen the emergence of a new breed of SNORist enthusiast. Driven by a nostalgia for days they have barely known, groups of young adults in their 20s or 30s have made their presence known in Russian cities during demonstrations in favour of conservative politicians. Sporting large moustaches that bring to mind former Supreme Leader Vissarionov (hence their nickname of [[Usatets]], &quot;that has a moustache&quot;), they have taken to intimidating political opponents and have been linked to some violent incidents.

==SNORist Legacy==

Not only did SNOR leave a mark on the face of Europe and Russia, but it was also evidenced &quot;Far From The S.N.O.R.&quot; by the [[Kemr]]ese group, [[NoMoreEagleZ]].

The SNOR also became the focal point of a mass youth protest movement, especially in the 1970s and 80s in the [[North American League]] and elsewhere.  The [[Anti-Snorist Movement]] was a rebellion against the &quot;old zones of thought&quot; including hereditary monarchies and ''realpolitik''.  Its anthem in many ways was the song &quot;Far From the S.N.O.R.&quot; by the group [[NoMoreEagleZ]].

The '''High Kingdom of Jervaine''' is a small proud nation in the heart of Europe, known for its wealth, diplomacy, hearty cuisine and fine wine.  It comprises the three provinces '''Ausaedsa''' (Alsace), '''Siovadra''' (Black Forest) and '''Moseola''' (Moselle), the latter two of which enjoy a condominium status with the [[Germany|Holy Roman Empire]] and [[France]], respectively.

Originally split off the crumbling [[Roman Empire]], the kingdom has endured several Germanic mass migrations and has been passed to and fro between French and German empires.  Nevertheless, its unique High Romance language known as [[Jovian]] gave the people a sense of unity and identity even when foreign flags flew on their castles.

Being land-locked, Jervaine never colonized other terrains, but through its large-scale business agreements with [[Batavian Kingdom|Batavian]] colonial shipping acquired significant amounts of real estate in Seilon ([[Ceylon]]), where the Soectade Audraele Té ed Cofé (SATEC, High-Royal Tea and Coffee Company) is based.

The picturesque villages, idyllic countrysides, snowy mountains and culinary delights make the High Kingdom a popular tourist destination.
==Administration==
===Government===
The High Kingdom of Jervaine is a federalistic constitutional monarchy. The national parliament is divided into a house of commons and a house of nobles.  The bulk of political power lies in the former, whereas only the latter have the priviledge to elect the High King.  The executive is a septumvirate elected by the two houses.  The Audu Ric himself has more of a representative than a ruling role nowadays, but can wield considerable influence on public opinion given a charismatic personality.
===Administrative Divisions===
The federal levels of organizations below the High Kingdom are the ''provingae'' (provinces), ''pahi'' (districts) and ''logaeldades'' (townships).  Each such entity has a parliament and an executive council.  The nobility also appoints local leaders for each entity, with no appreciable political power.

Here is a quick overview of the three provinces of Jervaine.

{|cellpadding=5|

|-
| Moseola (Moselle) || 6'216 || 1'023 || Meitte (323)
|}

The Jovian-speaking minority in [[Ceylon]] is not officially a part of the High Kingdom, but often informally referred to as ''ja Coloenul'', the Little Colony.
==History==
The earliest ancestor of the Jervan nation is the ancient [[Roman_Empire|Roman]] province Germania Superior, whence the name is derived.  Already towards the end of the third century AD, the local [[Roman_Empire|Roman]] prefects began to feel less and less obliged to the waning Empire, and de facto ruled as kings.  Three prefects in particular are noteworthy for their unhumble opinion that Germania Superior was the ark in which the culture and civilization of [[Roman_Empire|Rome]] was to be perpetuated as the Empire fell.  They insisted that their courts speak proper [[Roman_Empire|Roman]], i.e. Classical rather than Vulgar Latin, or as Prefect [[Rodericus II.]] famously put it, the language of Jove rather than of the cattle (''lingua jovis nec bovis''), hence the name [[Jovian]].  Many Classical features quickly trickled from the nobility down to the citizens and peasants.
&lt;!--
In the fourth century, blablabla...
--&gt;

During the Hundred Years War the High King of Jervaine allied with the French King against the Dukes of Burgundy, a threat to the western borders of Jervaine and the English King, quickly counterbalancing the Anglo-Burgundian alliance.

==Geography==
[[Image:jervaine_map.jpg]]
===Borders===
West: Voscu (Vosges) mountain range &lt;br&gt;
East: Siovader (Black Forest) mountain range
==Economy==
Caesar described the land as ''optimus totius Galliae'', and Louis XIV. exclaimed &quot;Quel beau jardin!&quot; upon acquiring it.  The High Kingdom has been known as fertile and prosperous throughout history, and even nowadays, its gross social product per capita is only matched by spoilt city-states like Monaco. ;o) 

The most well-known Jervan exports are fine wines, beer, educated professionals and the High-Royal Tea and Coffee Company, '''SATEC''', whose products and overpriced but popular cafés can be found all around the globe.  Similarly, the '''Niorul''' food corporation has its fingers in many a distant country, but is primarily known for the invention of instant coffee.  The trademark ''Niocafé'' is often heard as a generic term for instant coffee.  

Another of Jervaine's hallmark industries is the movie business.  A respectable volume of motion pictures, both experimental and high-budget mainstream, is produced in the High Kingdom every year.  The national broadcasting company, [[VoJo]], and several movie studios are located in a suburb of Muelausun, ''Siovilge'' (&quot;holly forest&quot;), which has become synonymous with Jervan moviemaking.

Tourism is a lucrative business in Jervaine, too.

===Transportation===
Jervaine features a close-knit system of public transportation using buses, ferries and the High-Royal Railway.  Reondradun is reachable by high-speed train from Mannheim and Basel (ICE) and Paris (TGV).  Reondradun is also home to the headquarters of [[Aumaetruc, S. A.]], a company which maintains industrial facilities constructing and developing railway improvements throughout Europe and the world.

The national airlines, the [[Alae Joevae]] or Jovian Wings, enjoy an image of high comfort and retro-style class...  and correspondingly high fares, of course.

==Culture==

===Languages===
''&quot;Nationis lingua sanguis eius&quot;'', as the saying goes.  The unifying heritage and pride of the Jervan people is their proper language, [[Jovian]].  [[German]] and [[Francien]] are strong second languages in ''Siovadra'' and ''Moseola'', respectively.
===Religions===
I'll need to make up a Jervan reformer to translate the Bible into Jovian.  I'd say some 40% each of the population are Catholic and Protestant, respectively, with maybe a 10% Humanist minority.  Regardless of my own ties to Humanism, Strasbourg seems a fitting setting for an organized Humanist movement, human rights court and all.  ;)
===Cuisine===
The enjoyment of food and drink is one of the most imporant aspects of the ''art de vivre'' in the High Kingdom, as is evidenced in the long list of internationally popular Jervan specialties.  Typical dishes include ''cuehel lodranun'' (quiche lorraine), ''cuehul on miorvels'' (Mirabelle pie), ''cuehel flammadun'' (flammekueche), ''caulaecta'' (sauerkraut), and ''gaulu mou uenaeru'' (chicken in Riesling).  

The Jervan vineyards bring forth world-class white wines such as Flingosa (Riesling), Muscadun (Muscatel) and Trawinun (Traminer), as well as some rosés and few reds.  Furthermore, several brands of beers are brewed and liquors distilled.  Wine, beer and liquor feature are featured prominently in the ingredient lists of many local dishes and deserts.  The traditional Roman ''meidun'', diluted and honey-sweetened wine, and its more modern sibling ''sambuegun'' with elder-flower syrup, make refreshing summer drinks. 

Finally, the High Kingdom entertains a rich coffee culture.  A large variety of styles and sizes of the black gold is offered in any of the multitudinous cafés.  Order an ''aubu'' if you like latte macchiato, ''carwel'' if you're into caramel, ''ambrettu'' for amaretto and ''blatse'' for a shot of pomace brandy.

The unique Jervan product [[BioCola]] falls into the fuzzy area between soft drinks, new age medicine and drug abuse.
===Music &amp; Dance===
Among the many native and imported music styles heard in the High Kingdom, Argentine [[Tango]] deserves special mention. Dancing [[tango]] is such a popular and well-practiced hobby here that many Jervans believe the Argentine stole it from them. The most prevalent style is Orillero, whereas Milonguero is commonly regarded as limiting and unaesthetic, and formulaic by-the-book Parisian-style tango as the ultimate sin.

      <text xml:space="preserve">Pratchett's first published work was the short story &quot;The Hades Business&quot;, published in his school magazine when he was 13, and subsequently reprinted in Science Fantasy magazine in 1961, for which he was paid £14. His second published work was &quot;Night Dweller&quot;, which appeared in New Worlds magazine, issue 156 in November 1965.

On leaving school in 1965, he gained employment as a local newspaper journalist on the Bucks Free Press (&quot;I started work one morning and saw my first body three hours later, 'on-the-job training' meaning something in those days&quot;).

It was during his time as a journalist that he was sent to interview Peter Bander van Duren, a co-director of a small publishing company in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, Colin Smythe Limited, about a new book the company was publishing and Pratchett happened to mention that he'd written a novel of his own, The Carpet People. The rest is history...

In 1980, he became Press Officer for the Central Electricity Generating Board in an area which covered several nuclear power stations; he later joked that he had demonstrated impeccable timing by making this career change so soon after the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in the [[NAL-SLC|NAL]].

He gave up his work for the CEGB in 1987 when he realised he was earning several times as much money from his occasional writing; this allowed him to increase his output and he now typically writes two books in most years. It has been estimated that 1% of all fiction books sold in the [[Federated Kingdoms]] are written by Pratchett, although this was calculated before the success of J. K. Rowling's books.

He was awarded the Order of the Federated Kingdoms in 1998 for services to literature. Typically, his own tongue-in-cheek comment was &quot;I suspect the 'services to literature' consisted of refraining from trying to write any.&quot;  As he tells all his readers, he loves Banana Daquiris.

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''Eugenio Roddenberry''' was born in El Paso, [[Tejas]] in August 19, 1931.  He married his wife, [[Majel Lee Hudec Roddenberry]] who was born in Cuyahoga, [[Aquanishuonigy]].  Relocating to [[Les Plaines]], and later to [[Osage]], [[Louisianne]], Roddenberry's books, ''Le Voyage aux Étoilles'' series was highly popular in Louisianne.  This series of books has been rumored to be the reason for [[Empress Gacudai]] of [[Japan]]'s support of a space effort.

With the advent of the space race, the rights were sold by Majel Lee Hudec Roddenberry to a [[NAL-SLC|NALian]] network for development into '[[Space Voyage 2245]]'.  As Space Voyage 2245 has become quite the fruitful series, Mme. Roddenberry has brought to light other manuscripts of her late husband for posthumous publication and televising.  Some of Mr. Roddenberry's unpublished works have been used in the development of [[Mariner]], the spin-off of SV2245.

      <text xml:space="preserve">In 2245 the [[Space Condominium]] is well established; The Kings of the Universe have given their mandate to a stellar fleet charged with exploration, contact and increasing the peaceable Space Condominium.  These Ships of their Universal Majesties sail the stars to fulfill this goal.

The Starmada takes seriously this goal, and is most pleased with their flagship, the &lt;i&gt;Ship of their Universal Majesties Vanguard&lt;/i&gt;.  This series is the story of the SCC-1314, the SUM Vanguard, her crew, and their voyage through the stars.  As is said so clearly by Captain Ellen Spitzer at the start of the first episode: 

''Space is the last great untamed and unexplored expanse. This is the record of the travels of the SUM Vanguard, as we fulfill our mandate from the Kings of the Universe.  Our continuing charge of peace from the [[Space Condominium]] is four-fold:  To explore fantastic and pristine planets, to search for examples of life heretofore unknown, to welcome new cultures to participate in the Great Condominium, and to travel fearlessly where none have trod before!''

The response to this series both in the [[NAL-SLC|North American League]] and other neighboring countries has been so great that they're already filming a movie, [[Invasion of the Zmorite Horde|Space Voyage 2245: Invasion of the Zmorite Horde]].  Season Two was to begin shooting a month after the movie wrapped, however, response was so great they filmed Season Two in tandem with the Movie, making the release of the Movie to now coincide with the hiatus between Seasons Two and Three.

== Dramatis Personnae ==

=== Protagonists ===
====Races====
* '''Aqueans''': Natives of Oceanea.  On their homeworld, they had never evolved beyond a stone-age level of technology until their contact with humans.  They are a hairless race, with webbed feet and hands, and are pacifists, divided into hundreds of small tribes who keep to themselves for the most part.  They enthusiastically adopted human technology, and eagerly joined the Condominium.  They are a highly intelligent race, and possess an insatiable curiosity.  A disproportionate number of the Condominium's top scientists are Aqueans.
* '''Humans''':  All beings descended from Earth.  Some humans look poorly on those groups that left Earth and bio-engineered themselves away from the Earth &quot;norm&quot;.  For the concerns of the Space Condominium, they are all considered human if they share the 23 chromosome pairs, or did, at some point in their evolution.
* '''Sagittarians''': A bipedal marsupial race, the Sagittarians are Earth's closest allies.  Sharing a mammalian unity, the Sagittarians have co-settled a number of worlds with the humans, and get along without any bias.
* '''Yrgoans''': An elder bipedal race, many humans would feel them to be elvish, with pointy ears and tall and slender statures.  They often dismiss the humans as callous and foolhardy.  The are allied with the Sagittarians and Humans, but have been known to withdraw into their own space when they feel that the Humans and other races have &quot;muddied the waters&quot; too much.  Ages ago, they renounced war and sought a life of logic and contemplation.  They are often derogatorily called Worms because their blood is based on [[Wikipedia:Hemerythrin|hemerythrin]], something which some Terran worm species use for oxygen transport.

====Characters====

* '''Captain [[Ellen Spitzer]]''': Commanding Officer of the ''Vanguard''.  Has a propensity to sleep with every alien prince and slave-boy.  This is, of course  not shown, as SV2245 is a family show.  Captain Spitzer hails from [[Les Plaines]] in the [[NAL-SLC|NAL/SLC]].
* '''Pilot First-Class [[Marie Bouc]]''': Chief pilot of the ''Vanguard''.  A [[France|French]] woman from Lyon.  Known for her sarcastic wit, and cutting assessment of the situation at the start of every episode.
* '''Chief Medical Officer [[Hans-Philip Rasmussen]]''': A very animated doctor who marvels at every newly discovered race, animal, plant or even prion.  He often becomes so entrenched in medical diatribe that the other characters have to call him back.
* '''Chief Scientist [[Aquico Yamamoto]]''': Stoic [[Buddhism|buddhist]] from the [[Japan|Japanese]] colony of Edo. (until Season Five)
* '''Chief Engineer [[Jimmy Dohan|James &quot;Jimmy&quot; Dohan]]''': An [[Scotland|Scotchman]] known for his exaggeration of repairs in non-critical situations and his miraculous completion of repairs in just enough time to save the ship and crew.  Jimmy's often referred to as a Magician.
* '''Chief Watchman [[Birgit Vasasdotter]]''': a Scandinavian who oversees all security efforts aboard the Vanguard.
* '''Morale Officer [[Zowan Kryszkot]]''': A witty comic, Zowan doubles as ship's cook, cracking jokes and often falling into various events of physical comedy.
* '''[[Mistelsbog]]''': an Appraiser from the Yrgoans (played by [[Alexander Rickman]]).  He joins the crew in episode 2, and spends the better part of every succeding episode decrying everything the crew does and generally muttering, &quot;That is illogical.&quot;  By the end of Season Two he seems resigned to his fate.
* '''Dr. [[Ssaqueanyal]]''' [[Mira Eklund]] : (Season Three) An Aquean scientist who was held hostage by the Zmorites for a time.  Upon her escape she joined the crew of the Vanguard.  It is Dr. Ssaqueanyal that declares the death of a patient, as her Aquean senses help her sense when the life-force leaves a body.  Her &quot;catch-phrase&quot; among ''Voyagers'' is &quot;His soul has left, Cap'n&quot; or &quot;Her soul has left, Cap'n&quot;.
* '''Dr. Birko Lundgren''' [[Rolf Laſsgoerd]]: (Season Four) Joins the crew after the destruction of the the Lundgren Institute on Hoppas VII.
* '''Xu Ai Nu''' (Season Five): The lone survivor of a ship attacked by the Assassins.  &quot;Ainu&quot; (as he's called) has fleeting moments of consciousness, but they are increasing as he recovers from his injuries...but who he is and why the Assassins grabbed him in the first place are mysteries.


* '''Chief Engineer [[Martyn Burton]]''', the night shift Chief Engineer who moves to replace Jimmy.  (Portrayed by [[George LaFarge]])
* '''Pilot First-Class [[Nenette Cherisse]]''', a recent transfer from the S.U.M. Castreleon, an [[Arvorec]] citizen, one of the few serving in the Starmada.  (Portrayed by [[Kira de Boer]])
* '''Chief Scientist [[Colim O'Briain]]''', replacing Aquico Yamamoto.  O'Briain joined Starmada after years of experience with [[Solas Teoranta]] and her daughter corporations.  (Portrayed by [[Miles Meanaugh]])

=== Antagonists ===

Races:
*'''Assassins''':  The as-yet unseen threat facing the whole of the Space Condominium and space at large.
*'''Assessors''': Sable-robed entities that appear and disappear at will, possessing powers that could be called god-like, but are more often used to direct the affairs of the galaxy to their own ends, along a plan that they have not disclosed.
*'''Beshree''':  An enigmatic race with power to control the thoughts of humans.  While they seem good intentioned their requests and efforts often lead to pain for humankind.  Their true intentions have yet to be unmasked, but their presence seems guaranteed on the galactic stage.
*'''Calgon''': A Space Warrior Race who has always taken affront in their interactions with the Space Condominium.
*'''Dzhirona''': Space Nomads, foragers and hunter gatherers, like the Roma of Earth.  Their homes are asteroids.  They have no qualms in invading other race's planets, stations and spaceships, even crashing their own asteroids if there is need to aid them in attaining their desired forage.
*'''Monfareen''': A deeply religious race, the Monfereen feel their onus is to proselytize the universe at large.  They maintain only one star system, but are seen as a marauding cult, as they kill all who refuse their form of enlightenment.  Because of this, they are barred landing rights at every planet and space station within the Space Condominium.  They have, for some reason, accepted Radu Normandie as their Messiah figure.
*'''Plasmoids''': A genetically degenerate race, the Plasmoids travel space in their  obviously artificial hexoid ships, raiding ships, seeking genetic material to compliment their own.  Often they will kill ship's entire complements to scavenge only the smallest strands of DNA.  The have had debacles with the Vanguard, but it is feared, the worst is yet to come.
*'''Queliqot''': An insectoid race.  It is difficult to classify them as Antagonists, ''per se'', rather, they are belligerent in protecting their perceived territory, but are not expansionist at this stage of their existence.  They currently maintain a region of roughly 15 stars.
*'''Safloans''': A sister race to the Yrgoans, the Safloans have spent millennia circling the galaxy, joining the side of the &quot;oppressed&quot;, more often causing harm than good.
*'''Zeniaks''': A combination biological and nano-mechanical beings, the Zeniak are incapable of sexual reproduction.  Maintaining a growing empire of 30 star systems, they are feared throughout the galaxy, as they often travel in &quot;Press Gangs&quot;, injecting their nano-mechanics, which gradually take over the mind of the person, bringing them into the &quot;Fold&quot;.
*'''Zmorites''': A violent warmongering race from beyond this galaxy, the Zmorite ares on a crusade to achieve racial hegemony of the entire universe. The typical member of this race appears as a 7 feet tall humanoid with bushy eyebrows &amp; mustache and large fang jutting out from its lower jaw. The Zmorite normally wear a long coat and conical hat made out of the hairs or fur of their defeated foes. According to rumour, common past-time include drinking fermented liquids (of any source) and juggling babies over a fire.

=== Other Races ===
Not all races can be classified simply as protagonist or antagonist
*[[R'Zikk]]:  A widespread, ancient and private race of beings who breathe methane.  Hideous to human eyes, they are said to be extremely wise with technology far beyond our ken.  Legend has it their lifespans last for centuries, perhaps millennia.  They are willing to trade with others, usually raw materials, but the most valuable coin they possess is &lt;u&gt;knowledge&lt;/u&gt;.  Yet their prices for that are often high, or baffling, or both.
*Ulgween: A minority species on Sagittaria, the Ulgween have long been oppressed, considered by the ruling species as merely smart animals.  Most Ulgween are resigned to their status, but a revolutionary movement exists among some.

=== Spin Offs ===

Space Voyage 2245 spun off a new series, [[Mariner]] at the beginning of Season Four.  The initial success of Space Voyage 2245 and Mariner incited a spin-off, [[Outpost Space Seed]] at the transition from Season Six to Season Seven.

== Rumours of Series Finale ==

Rumours have arisen suggesting that the season finale for Season Five is in fact the Series Finale, but this was denied by the production company.  It later came to light that this was nearly true, however popular demand for the series kept it alive through the sixth season.  Waning interest has caused a re-tooling of the show for the seventh season, with the departure of some of the main crew to the new series of Outpost Space Seed, and new faces to help maintain interest in the crew.

= Movies =
The following movies have been produced, or are in production for [[Space Voyage 2245]]:

# [[Invasion of the Zmorite Horde]] &lt;i&gt;Released, 2005.&lt;/i&gt; [http://www.geocities.com/leclermontois/zmorite.wmv Teaser Trailer]
&lt;small&gt; Notabene: These will require the use of the latest release of Windows Media Player. &lt;/small&gt;

=Graphic Novels=

''For more specific information see [[Space Voyage 2245 (Graphic Novels)]].''

[[Bandes Dessinées Trois-Rivières]] has been granted the rights to create a series of graphic novels based on the television series.  According to early production estimates, the first graphic novel should hit the stands some time in 2010.

=Public Reaction=
Noted sociologist Cannon Hamaquer of the Université Ursuline in [[Baton Rouge]] has spoken somewhat extensively on the universe of Space Voyage 2245 and the derivative works.  The following quote is from a sociology paper submitted to Science in 2006 on the subject of gender roles in television.

&lt;blockquote&gt;It seems that the society of space exploration has mostly women in command and piloting roles, and men generally foot soldiers, and in some of the more brawny roles.  An example is how stable Captain Spitzer is portrayed, compared with Commander Radu Normandie, or Prime Minister Oskarsen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

It seems that the writers and producers of the series don't feel that the males of our species are capable of caring for an expensive piece of machinery or acting as the mouthpiece to alien nations.  Women are portrayed as more capable in the high-speed warfare of space, when the opportunity presents, and the cool heads in diplomacy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Either the writers and producers have a strongly misandristic bent, or they are deliberately placing the typical gender roles of our societies in question, asking us to re-evaluate ourselves from the ground up.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

      <text xml:space="preserve">&quot;Doctor &lt;nowiki&gt;McPherron&lt;/nowiki&gt;!  Look at this inscription!&quot;

The aging doctor trudged through the underbrush that choked the ancient temple.  As he drew near the pillar, he shaded his eyes from the sunset and looked eagerly at the statue.

His shaky voice filled the vicinity, accompanied by chirping insect life.

&quot;&lt;i&gt;The cloud that blocked out the stars had grown larger and larger every night.  At dawn we realized it was not a cloud.  It was the Zmorite Horde!  Long-fabled, these killing beasts descended on Agathea, ripping up the landscape, clearing out all life, nearly.  It's a miracle we survived as long as we did.  Life is returning...but our civilization is lost.  Know that the Zmorite Horde are unstoppable.  They will come.  They always come...&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

&quot;How old is this?&quot; the assistant asked.

&quot;Over two thousand years old, Ferko.&quot;  The doctor looked to the stars.  There was the dark circle in the sky, larger than before, eclipsing Betelgeuse.  He pointed to the sky.  &quot;Let's just hope that a ship from the Starmada gets here in time to evacuate us.&quot;

-------------

Thus begins the movie, [[Space Voyage 2245]]: Invasion of the Zmorite Horde.

Currently in Pre-Production, shooting is expected to start late this year and a release set for summer of 2006.  The Saint-Julien Studios has announced that the teaser trailer will be released in time for the Christmas movie season. 

Among the cast is renowned [[Ricardo Montalban]] filling the role of Kmora Xikra Nooniachev, Khan of the Zmorite Horde.

      <text xml:space="preserve">Citizen of the Republic of [[Mejico]], a famous actor. 

Born November 25, 1920 in Mejico City, Montalban's first role was on The 20th Century-Fox Hour in 1955. During the 1950s and 1960s he was one of the few working Hispanic actors. Many of his early roles were in Westerns, where he played character parts usually as the Latin lover.

In 1975 he was chosen as the television spokesman for the new Krystler Cordoba . The car was successful and heavily advertised—his mellifluous delivery of a line praising its &quot;rich Corinthian leather&quot; upholstery became famous and was much parodied.

He then starred in the television program, ''Isla Fantastico'' from 1978 to 1984. For a time the program was one of the most popular on television. His character, Mr. Roarke, and his sidekick Tattoo, were pop icons.

In the upcoming movie for [[Space Voyage 2245]] he's reprising the role of Kmora Xikra Khan, a character explored in the first season of SV2245.  The episode, titled Children of Space, featured him as the leader of a space-based warrior clan who had left the Earth many hundreds of years before, during the Genome Wars.  His ancestors had encountered the Zmorites and had been able to interbreed with them, thus creating a race of warriors.

He has played on dozens of television series, but has not been involved in too many films.  A spinal injury in 1994 was feared to reduce him to a wheel chair, but Mr. Montalban has overcome this injury and is able to fully play out the role of the warrior king.  He will play his role of Kmora Xikra Khan in the upcoming movie [[Space Voyage 2245]]:[[Invasion of the Zmorite Horde]].

For his role in this movie and since the filming of ''Isla Fantastico'' Montalban has been a resident of the [[NAL-SLC|NAL]].  He does maintain a residence in Mejico City, but spends most of his time between Philadelphia and New Amsterdam.

      <text xml:space="preserve">A type of fiction gaining growing interest here in [[Ill Bethisad]].  Among the noteable novel series are the stories of 
''[[Moxisei]]'', a fictional world that speaks of a different [[Japan]] from our world, one in which Japan is bellicose and closely aligned with the [[Germany|HRE]] during the [[Second Great War]].  Also, [[Andrew Smith]] is an author speaking of a Britain without [[Kemr]] and the British line of [[Romance Languages]] due to a successful Saxon invasion.

This style is gaining credence in reader circles the world over.  Some refer to it as ''If-Worlds''.  An upcoming novel series looks to focus on a divergent history of the [[NAL-SLC|North American League]], wherein it separates from the [[Federated Kingdoms]], has a rebellion over slavery and gradually works westward gaining control of the Continent.  Many have scorned this scenario as implausible at best, hypernationalist at worst.

Others focus on the turning points of the [[First Great War]] and the results of a more severe punishment for the [[Germany|Holy Roman Empire]], the development of a fascist national socialist party, and other [[Point Of Divergence|points of divergence]].

Authors of the genre include;
*[[Tom Clentsin]]
*[[Rhoberth Dain]]
*[[Adolf Hitler]]
*[[Llewfelen Iewen]]
*[[Charles R.R. Luther]]
*[[Andrew Smith]]
*[[Thorsten|Gajli Thorsten]]

      <text xml:space="preserve">According to the International Railway Union, the definition of high-speed rail is public transport by rail with a possible speed above 135 Milles per Hour (200 kilometers per hour).  Most of the high-end trains travel at top service speeds between 170 Milles Per Hour (250 km/h) and 200 Milles Per Hour (300 km/h).  The current high speed record for a wheeled train was set in 1992 by a [[France|French]] TGV which reached a speed of 350 Milles per Hour (515 km/h).  There are rumors of magnetic levitation trains far exceeding that speed, but none have been substatiated to present.

The use of the term TGV and its application vary from country to country, but all hinge on the idea of specialised track for the high-speed vehicle, the rolling stock, operating practices and the speed.  While there was a decline in the use of railways with the mass production of automobiles following the end of the [[Second Great War]], this has not brought about the end of rail travel, and in most countries a rail system does exist.

High-speed rail was the attempt of the rail industry to appeal to those for whom other travel methods weren't fast enough or efficient enough.  They have successfully done so, as the proliferation of High-speed rail can be seen, especially in North America.
Because of the distance-shrinking nature of the high-speed trains, cities that are many hours by car from Paris are now finding themselves as 'bed-room' communities, where people live their lives, but work in Paris.  Similar effects are happening in Lyon and other major markets of TGV.

The earliest high-speed train was Xiñcansen of [[Japan]], followed by the French TGV.  Because these trains often traverse national boundaries they are not all the same, as power requirements vary from nation to nation.

==Current World High-Speed Train Families==

===TGV family===

* TGV (Train à grande vitesse) ([[France]]'s SNCF, [[Louisianne]]'s [[CFL]])
* Eurostar Federated Kingdom - [[France]] - [[Batavian Kingdom]]
* Thalys (France - [[Batavian Kingdom]] - [[Germany]])
* Renfa AVE ([[Aragon]])
* New Castreleon Central Rail's Acela ([[NAL-SLC|NAL]]); only distantly related to TGV (Not articulated, and with a tilt mechanism)
* B&amp;A Rail's (NAL) Columbiastar, with TGV service throughout the Great Lakes Region.


===ICE family===

* ICE (InterCity Express), ([[Germany]] - [[Batavian Kingdom]] - [[Austria]]).


===Xiñcansen family===

[[Image:japemptrain.jpg|thumb|A map of Japan's High-speed lines]]Japan, as one of the initial creators of the high-speed train has one of the most prolific national high-speed lines.  It has also exported its technology to FuTaiNan, and this has been further connected with other regions in China, with limited success.

* Xiñcansen ([[Japan]])
* HSR ([[Fujian, Taiwan and Hainan|FTH]])
* KTX ([[Corea]])

===Talgo family===

* Talgo 350 ([[Castile and Leon]])
* Talgo 200 ([[Castile and Leon]]) (able to travel at 200 km/h and broad and standard gauge rail)
* [[Image:Bd802001.gif|thumb]] Teslatalgo, Dalmatian Railways class 802, aka CAV - Cug da Alta Veloczita ([[Dalmatia]]) (Based on the Castillean Talgo Pendular system and is powered by the Tesla-type powerplant; has reached 317 versts per hour (309.075km/h - one Dalmatian verst is 975 metres) in testing on the straight track through level land on the Agram-Sejesta rail line, though in scheduled service it doesn't exceed 140 versts per hour.)

===Tilting trains===

* Pendolino-type trains in [[Italy]], [[Portugal]] (&quot;Alfa Pendular&quot; by CP), [[Slevania]] (InterCitySlovenija), [[Bohemia|Bohemian Kingdom]] and the [[Federated Kingdoms]] (by Virgin Trains).
* New Castreleon Central Rail's Acela (NAL)
* X2000 ([[Scandinavian Realm]])
* Eurostar Italia, Cisalpino ([[Italy]], [[France]], [[Dalmatia]])

===Magnetic levitation===

* Transrapid (German maglev company, has a test track in Emsland, Germany, and constructed the first operational maglev railway in the world, from Shanghai to its Pu Dong International Airport, opened in 2002).

===Other===

* Intercity 125/Class 43 - introduced in late 1970s Federated Kingdoms, often called the High Speed Train or HST, was the fastest train in the country for some while at 125mph

===Vostok family===

The Vostok (Rus: &quot;Восток&quot;) series of high speed trains is sometimes referred to outside of the [[SNOR]] as the &quot;White TGV&quot;, referring to its resemblance to the [[France|French]] TGV train.  Indeed, the resemblance is so acute that many suspect that [[Russia|Russian]] industrial espionage was at work in its development.  Vostok was largely developed in parallel with the French train and officially introduced late in the following year, though testing actually continued for 3 years after the trains were &quot;officially&quot; introduced before they were released to carry passengers.

Whether the trains were actually aided in development by industrial espionage is not clear, and there are a few marked differences from the TGV.  Most notable of these is the tilt mechanism which was included in all but late production models of the train, but never employed on passenger-carrying runs.  According to persistent rumour vehemently denied by the [[White Council|Russian Government]], all but one test run of the Vostok employing the tilt mechanism resulted in a derailment.  Whether or not this was so, it is a matter of record that the tilt mechanism was kept in a locked-down state and never actually utilised except in testing.  The mechanism was not installed on late production Vostok trains.

Vostok-capable high-speed lines were installed between St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev and Volgograd, then later extended to Nizhni Novgorod.  Plans to extend the lines eastward to Yekaterinburg and [[Republic of Chelyabinsk|Chelyabinsk]] were shelved in the late 1980s due to budgetary constraints, then scrapped outright after the fall of the [[SNOR]].

*Vostok 100 ([[SNOR|Snorist Russia]])
*Vostok 200 ([[SNOR|Snorist Russia]] - late model with misfunctioning tilt mechanism not installed)

The '''Baltic League''', one of the modern descendants of the ancient [[Hanseatic League|Hansa]], is made up of the [[Republic of the Two Crowns]], the Free City of [[Danzig]], the Principality of [[Skuodia]], the Kingdom of [[Latvia]], the Kingdom of [[Estonia]], the [[Nassland]], [[Finland]], [[Sweden]], [[Schleswig-Holstein|Slesvig-Holsteen]], the City of [[Lybæk]], the State of [[Mecklenburg]], the Principality of [[Rygen]], and the Duchy of [[Preimern|Preymeren]]. Furthermore, the following three countries are candidate members (meaning that enjoy some priviledged status and have the right to attend meetings): [[Ukraine]], [[Belarus]] and the [[RPN|Republic of Petrograd and Novgorod]]. The League was founded in 1653, after the dramatic rise in the Øresund Tax by the Danish king Christian IV had caused a split in the [[Hanseatic League]].

The Republic is the largest and most powerful member of the League. The League has traditionally been one of commerce and trade, though mutual defense has also been an important aspect of its activities. The famous Lufthansa is the airship fleet of the League, and operates both passenger and goods transport services. Low German is the traditional official language of League business; however, [[Wenedyk]] is the most commonly used language by the ministers. 

Low German is the traditional language of the Hansa / Baltic League because [[Hamburg]] and a couple other towns of Northern [[Germany]] were the birthplace of the League. From those cities, their influence spread east into [[Veneda]] (later the Republic of the Two Crowns), [[Sweden]] and the [[Baltic States|Baltic countries]]. 

Anymore, it may be that German is a &quot;formulaic&quot; language (except that ministers from German cities, obviously, speak Low German as a matter of course). Official in that documents are drawn up in it and some official records are kept in it. But day to day administration and actual business is done in other languages like [[Wenedyk]] and Lithuanian. Sort of like the way Latin is the official language of the RC church; but business in the [[Papal States|Vatican]] is done in the dialect of Rome.

      <text xml:space="preserve">Kárl &amp;#268;ápek wrote with intelligence and humor on a wide variety of subjects. His works are known not only for interesting and exact descriptions of reality, but also for his excellent work with the [[Bohemian|P&amp;eacute;mi&amp;#353;]] language, as well as [[Wenedyk]]. He is perhaps best known as a science fiction author, who wrote long before science fiction became established as a separate genre. He can be counted as one of the founders of classical non-hardcore European science fiction, which focuses on possible future (or alternative) social and human evolution on Earth, rather than technically advanced stories of space travel. However, it is best to class him with Aldous Huxley and George Orwell as a mainstream literary figure who used science-fiction motifs.

Many of his works discuss ethical and other aspects of the revolutionary inventions and processes that were already expected in the first half of 20th century. These included mass production, atomic weapons, and post-human intelligent beings such as robots or intelligent salamanders.

In this, &amp;#268;ápek was also expressing fear of upcoming social disasters, dictatorship, violence, and unlimited power of corporations, and trying to find some hope for human beings. &amp;#268;ápek's literary heirs include Ray Bradbury, Salman Rushdie, and possibly Brian Aldiss and Dan Simmons.

His other books and plays include detective stories, traveller notes, novels, fairy tales and theatre plays, and even a book on gardening. The most important works try to resolve the problem of epistemology, or &quot;What is knowledge?&quot;: The Tales from Two Pockets, and first of all the trilogy of novels Hortúpal, Meteor and An Ordinary Life.

Later, in the 1930s, &amp;#268;ápek's work focused on the threat of brutal dictatorships, [[SNOR|SNORist]], fascist, but also Communist. His most productive years corresponded within the conjuction period of Quenn Terésija (1920-1938). He wrote Talks with T.G. Másarik, a Bohemian liberal politician and patriot, and a regular guest at &amp;#268;ápek's Friday garden parties for Bohemian patriots. This extraordinary relationship between the great author and the great political leader is perhaps unique, and is known to have been an inspiration to Vencl Hável, a political activist, who shown his abilities in 1969 when he help to re-consilliate the boiling Bohemian society.

Kárl &amp;#268;ápek died in the December 1938, preceding the outbreak of the [[Second Great War]] and was interred in the Višpurk cemetery in Prague. Soon after, it became clear that the Europe would refuse to help defend Bohemia against [[Adolf Hessler|Hessler]]. He refused to eat or leave his country and died of double pneumonia. The Imperial Police had ranked him as &quot;public enemy number 2&quot; in Bohemia. His brother Jósef &amp;#268;ápek, a painter and also a writer, died in the Bergen-Belsen prison camp.

After the war, &amp;#268;ápek's work was only reluctantly accepted by the royal family of Bohemia, but has gradually grown in acceptance.

      <comment>changed Blackfriars to Middle Temple</comment>
      <text xml:space="preserve">'''Gwilim Trammelpila''' (fl. 1600), known in his adoptive [[England]] as Gouilliame Shaxepere, was a prolific poet and playwright. He and his cronies operated the Globe Theatre in London where his band of actors and musicians put on plays such as &quot;The Tempeste&quot;, &quot;Taming of the Shrewe&quot; and &quot;Amleth, Prince of [[Kemr|Cambria]]&quot;.  Eventually, he and his company also purchased the Middle Temple theatre, which was indoors and played to private audience.

The exact details of Shaxepere's life are sorely lacking, save that we know more about him than any other early Jacobean playwright save one (Johnson--who was regarded as almost manically self-publicizing).  We do know by a certain date he had become relatively well-known in the London Theatrical scene.  We also know the date of his marriage and the birthdates of all three children.  His plays were all published after his death or retirement by two different groups, and the plays show marked differences between editions.  Figuring out the precise order in which the plays were written (and presumably produced) is largely a matter of conjecture save for a few strong hints from diaries of the era and some topical references in the plays themselves.

In general, scholars divide his plays into four periods:

'''The Classical Period'''

This is when Shaxepere seemed to be following classical models like Galen and Seneca pretty closely.  Many of these works are based on ancient writings, sometimes reworked for (to him) modern settings.

* Two Gentlemen of Vienna
* Romeo and Juliet
* Julius Caesar
* Titus Andronicus
* The Comedie of Errors
* A Midsummer's Night's Dream
* King Ion

'''The Historical Period'''

According to theory, once Shaxepere had learned his craft he began to tell stories based on historical events familiar to audiences of the day.  Primariy, these fell into two groups.  One cycle of plays pretty much told of England's ''Wars of the Roses'', from their earliest seeds in ''Richard II'' until their final fruition in ''Richard III''.  The second cycle focussed on events from Kemr's (or Cambria's) history.  Probably for political reasons (not unimportant when one considers the legal authority of the Censor) none of these latter dealt with any event which could be pinpointed prior to the Battle of Hastings.

* Richard II
* Henry IV, Parts One and Two
* Henry V
* Henry VI, Parts One, Two and Three
* Edward IV
* [[Richard III]]
* Ambroisius
* [[Gereint V (play)|Gereint V]]
* Amleth, Prince of Cambria
* Macbeth

'''The Mature Period'''

Professors of literature like to call this &quot;Mature&quot; because this was when he wrote most of what are considered his greatest works.  All of his great comedies fall into this period.

* The Merchant of Milan
* Othello
* The Taming of the Shrewe
* As You Like It
* Twelfth Night
* King Llyr
* Much Ado About Nothing
* Anthony and Cleopatra

'''The Problem Period'''

During his final years, Shaxepere wrote a series of plays that scholars like to call &quot;problem plays&quot; because they seem so difficult to define and pin down.  Others prefer to call this his Experimental Period, because that is clearly one of the things he was doing.  

* All's Well That Ends Well
* Timon of Athens
* Love's Labour's Lost
* Madrad, Prince of Prydain
* Troilus and Cressida
* Measure for Measure
* The Winter's Tale
* The Tempeste

These last were the last known plays of his to be written and produced, the latter for the Globe and the former for the Middle Temple.  Legend has it that he retired because of growing blindness, which in some versions is the result of syphlis.  He clearly had become quite well-to-do and his will records a substantial estate for a non-nobleman of the time.

Gouilliame Shaxepere's life, what we know of it, shows a man of humble origins who never went to any great University.  This has led some (such as 19th century NAL GM George McClellan, among others) to theorize he was a fraud--the public face of someone more prestigious.  One of the more famous candidates for &quot;The Real Shaxepere&quot; is King James I himself.  Most reputable scholars look upon this as nonsense.

Some of his contemporaries included [[Tomos Corw]], [[William Kemp]] and [[Jowan Quidgerey]].

      <text xml:space="preserve">The [[Eurovidere]] Song Contest (a.k.a. Melody Grand Prix) is an annual televised song contest with participants from numerous countries whose national television broadcasters are members of the [[European Broadcasting Union]]. The contest is broadcast on television and also radio throughout Europe and other parts of the world.

The contest's name comes from the [[Eurovidere Network]], which is run by the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU). Any member of the EBU may participate in the contest. This includes also countries outside of Europe that are members of one the many European supranational organizations like the [[Commonwealth of Nations|British Commonwealth]], the [[Scandinavian Realm]], [[Community of Dalmatophone States]] or the [[Castilian Commonwealth of Nations|Castilean Commonwealth]].

In 2003, on the initiative of [[Rigets Radio|RR]], a junior version of the song contest was held for contestants between the ages of 8 and 15.

&lt;i&gt;It is not known what non-European nation has participated in the contest.&lt;/i&gt;

      <text xml:space="preserve">The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) was formed by several broadcasting organizations from Europe.

Members are radio and television companies, most of which are government-owned public service broadcasters or privately owned stations with public missions.

The EBU's most well-known production is probably the [[Eurovidere Song Contest]] organised by its [[Eurovidere Network]].

[[Category:Scandinavian Realm]]

&lt;i&gt;Rikets Radio&lt;/i&gt; (RR) is the [[Scandinavian Realm]]'s radio and television public broadcasting network.  It has a public service role and is the official organ of the Scandinavian government.  It is an independent public body administered by the Scandinavian Realm government, headed by a board, with its day-to-day running in the hands of a management committee.

RR is a member of the [[European Broadcasting Union]]. In 2003, RR hosted the first Junior [[Eurovidere Song Contest]].

RR has the longest running radio show, &lt;i&gt;Løgerdagsbarnetimen&lt;/i&gt; (The Children's Hour on Saturday), running since December 20, 1924.

= History =
RR started as a public service organization in 1933, based on a model similar to the [[BBC]], replacing all privately operated radio stations in the larger cities of the [[Scandinavian Realm]].  It was given the monopoly to broadcast within the [[Scandinavian Realm]].  The monopoly was gradually dissolved from 1975 onwards.

1941 saw the beginning of the use of the 13th century melody, &quot;Drømte mig en Drøm i Nat&quot;, as an interval signal and jingle for RR.

In 1948, RR started international radio transmissions on the shortwave bands.

In 1951, RR began to send television programmes.

RR was the last of the major European public broadcasters to introduce a second radio channel, P2 (&lt;i&gt;Programme 2&lt;/i&gt;), officially opened as late as in 1984. By 1993, RR got a third channel, P3 (&lt;i&gt;Programme 3&lt;/i&gt;).

In 1995, a second television channel was introduced, the channels being now called RR1 and RR2.

In 2003, communications satellites were first used when RR hosted the first Junior [[Eurovidere Song Contest]].

= Funding =
RR has always been funded through the radio license fee, which all owners of a radio or television in the Scandinavian Realm are obligated to pay.  Its public service role forbids it according to Scandinavian law from being commercial.  Listeners and viewers from outside the Scandinavian Realm pay a subscription fee.

= Regional Networks =
RR is subdivided into regional networks. These are:
* &lt;b&gt;Bengali&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Frederiksnagore]], and subscribers in [[Bengal]].
* &lt;b&gt;Chinese&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Tsingdav]], and subscribers in [[Beihanguo|China]].
* &lt;b&gt;Ðaij&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Tenasserim]], and subscribers in [[Mÿqan̊ Ðaij]].
* &lt;b&gt;East Indian&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in the [[Andaman Islands]] and the [[Nicobar Islands]].
* &lt;b&gt;Faeroese&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in the [[Faeroe Islands]].
* &lt;b&gt;Finnish&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Finland]], and subscribers in  [[Estonia]] and [[Nassland]].
* &lt;b&gt;Gadangme&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Gadangmeland]], and subscribers in the [[Gold Coast]].
* &lt;b&gt;German&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Schleswig-Holstein|Holstein]], [[Oldenborg|Oldenburg]], and [[Lybeck|Lübeck]], and subscribers in the rest of the [[Germany|Holy Roman Empire]], in [[Austria]], the [[Republic of the Two Crowns]], the [[Batavian Kingdom]], [[Bohemia]], and [[Helvetia]].
* &lt;b&gt;Icelandic&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Iceland]].
* &lt;b&gt;Inuit&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Greenland]], and subscribers in the [[NAL-SLC|North American]] province of [[Nunavik]].
* &lt;b&gt;Mon&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Monland]].
* &lt;b&gt;New Icelandic&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[New Iceland]].
* &lt;b&gt;New Swedish&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[New Sweden]], and subscribers in neighbouring [[NAL-SLC|North American]] provinces.
* &lt;b&gt;Saami&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Samme]].
* &lt;b&gt;Scandinavian&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Denmark]], [[Sweden]], [[Norway]], [[Schleswig-Holstein|Schleswig]], and [[Rygen]].
* &lt;b&gt;Tamil&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Tranquebar]], and subscribers in [[Karnátaka]].
* &lt;b&gt;West Guinean&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in [[Gebaland]] and The [[Pepper Coast]], and subscribers in [[Batavian Guinea]] and [[French Guinea]].
* &lt;b&gt;West Indian&lt;/b&gt;, servicing licensees in the [[Cruzan Islands]], and subscribers in neighbouring Caribbean islands.

= Transmission =
All programming from RR is relayed by local stations in regional versions.  Some programmes are sent via satellite to the regional networks, which then relay them regionally via local stations.  Other programs are sent directly by the regional networks.

= Radio Channels =
Each regional network provides three radio channels:
* &lt;b&gt;P1&lt;/b&gt; (Programme 1) is the public service and information radio channel, and is RR's most listened to radio channel, mixing popular music with factual programming, discussion and debate, national and international news, plus in-depth news reports.
* &lt;b&gt;P2&lt;/b&gt; (Programme 2) is the classical radio channel with classical music, opera, [[Jass|jass]], radio drama, and coverage of other artistic performances and events.
* &lt;b&gt;P3&lt;/b&gt; (Programme 3) is the hit radio channel, with popular music, entertainment shows, live coverage of major sporting events, and hourly three-minute news bulletins.

= Television Channels =
Each regional network provides two television channels:
* &lt;b&gt;RR1&lt;/b&gt; is the entertainment television channel, with entertainment shows, television series, movies, and live coverage of major sporting events. The stations airs from 0900 until 0415. The start-up is a menu, then with a start-up film showing sights of the country with an instrumental piece of Norwegian music on it, then the clock and the first programme of the day. Closedown is a film showing national symbols and city sights accompanied by the national anthem. 
* &lt;b&gt;RR2&lt;/b&gt; is the information television channel, featuring factual programming, discussion and debate, national and international news, as well as in-depth news reports. It broadcasts from 0900 with school's and children's programmes for three hours, and ends at 0500. There is no start-up sequence, only an ident to introduce the day's programmes. Closedown is simply the logo fading into the testcard. RR2 is controversial by showing some erotic content after 0930, especially in places with more conservative traditions. RR2's drama series &quot;Love&quot; was a ratings-winner despite its nudity and sexual acts.</text>

      <text xml:space="preserve">= Orchestral Instruments =

*The chief difference in the evolution of orchestral instruments in Ill Bethisad is the continued development of the keyed brass instruments as a separate and parallel subfamily (alongside the piston instruments). Thus, avid listeners of classical music *there* have long known and appreciated the different tonal qualities of ophicleide and euphonium, and have come to expect them where composers, such as Verdi and Wagner, have given voice to them. Both families of brass instruments have continued to evolve apace: the valved brass are largely where they are *here*, while the keyed brass have enjoyed continued improvements to key placement, standardised number of keys and systematisation of keywork that such instruments have not enjoyed *here*. The dichotomy of tonal colours has thus produced a modern orchestra with a slighty larger brass section than *here*'s orchestra: three piston trumpets (or cornets), two keyed trumpets (or cornets), five french horns, three trombones, one or two euphoniums, one or two ophicleides, one tuba.

= Musical Forms =

*Britain is famous worldwide for its varied musical output, from fine classical composers and orchestras, to town [[Brass Band Music|brass bands]], church orchestras and traditional bardic strains. Popular and folk music find an excellent environment to meld into new and fantastic forms. See [[Kemr]], keyword &quot;Music&quot;.

*[[Image:pic_solfeiges.jpg|thumb|500px|An old hand-copied part book from [[Ter Mair|Annapolis]], written in &quot;Patent Notes&quot;, with text in Kerno.]] A very old Anglo-Welsh style of part singing that has been in decline during the 19th and 20th centuries in Britain is making a revitalisation in the early 21st century, having been reëxported from the [[NAL-SLC|NAL]] to the [[Federated Kingdoms|FK]]. This kind of singing, called [[Media:Nogouiodunon.mid|solfey]], or &lt;i&gt;solfeġ&lt;/i&gt; as it's called in Brithenig, derives from 15th and 16th century styles which travelled to the Americas with the early settlers. As is still commonly heard in British churches, particularly in England, solfey singing is often accompanied in the bass part by a brace of serpents or ophicleides. The English, who have recently rediscovered this curious and ancient British passtime of comunal singing, have taken to calling it &lt;i&gt;gallery music&lt;/i&gt;.

*A new Americo-British music that evolved in the early to mid 20th century is &lt;I&gt;Fuzió&lt;/I&gt;: a &quot;fusion&quot; of Zaydeco, [[Jass]] and traditional British.

*[[Qvelbe]] music has become popular throughout the [[Scandinavian Realm]], particularly in the West Indies and in [[Guinea]].

*[[Turbofolk]] is a style unique to the Balkans.

*[[EastWest]] is a new style of music from [[Central Asia]] similar in concept to Balkan [[Turbofolk]].

*Popular in all northern cities of the NAL from the late 1800's to the early 20th century was Ragtime, which is considered by some a fusion of African-American styles and European Classical music. It's most famous contributor was Scott Joplin who composed some of the most popular songs.  

*Other trends are &lt;I&gt;Countrey&lt;/I&gt;, typical of northern [[Louisianne]] and the western provinces of the [[NAL-SLC| NAL]]; and &lt;I&gt;Estompier&lt;/I&gt;, which evolved from the [[Jass]] movement and is a popular sort of swing dance style known for energetic moves.

= Classical Music =

Of course, there is also Classical Music:

* [[Johann Sebastian Bach|J. S. Bach's]] &lt;I&gt;Premarian Concertos&lt;/I&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;; many works for klavier - toccatas, preludes, fugues [18th cen].
* [[Georg Friedrich Kremer]] dedicated his masterpiece ''Die Musikalische Gabe '' (a.k.a. &quot;the Forty-Eight&quot;) to his close friend [[Johann Sebastian Bach|J. S. Bach]], who was born in the very same year as Kremer himself.
* Andrew Corelli's &lt;I&gt;Concerto for Six Oliphaunts and Three Ophicleides vs. Orchestra&lt;/I&gt; [1866].
* [[Chopin|Frydryk Fr&amp;#x105;czyszek Chopin]], [[Veneda]]'s greatest and most prolific composer, whose musical style became radically avant-gardist after 1880.
* Ravi and Anoushka Shankar have brought Indian classical music into the western conscience [c.2000].

= Folk Music =

And many kinds of Folk Music to tempt the adventurous ear:

* The Clentsin Brothers (Ireland) made Irish popular music extremely popular in America.
* The Twelve Girls Band (Hunan) are making serious inroads into the West from the Orient.
* The Band of Brothers (Dûnein) are a popular zidico-celtic-breton &lt;I&gt;fuzió&lt;/I&gt; or fusion group.
* Prwyster Gweresydaed an Caemyn (Arvorec Isles) are gaining in popularity.
* Taely (Arvorec Isles) plays modern Celtic.
* The Jakob Broewer Band ([[Cruzan Islands]]), featuring the &quot;grand old man&quot; of [[Qvelbe]] music.
* Here's a popular folk tune: [[undefined|Spencer the Rover]]
* &lt;i&gt;Motoercar&lt;/i&gt; is a popular group in Kemr, to be found on the cutting edge of synthesised music like this version of the old tune [[Media:Mrs widgerys lodger.mid|Mrs. Widgery's Lodger]].
* ''O Sole d&lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt;a Acqua'' (The Sun off the Water; [[Italy]]) is a Neapolitan minority folk group from [[The Marches]], very popular in Italy.

= National anthems =
''See [[National anthems]].''

= Artists =

*[[ABBA]]; world-famous band from the [[Scandinavian Realm]]
*Aimee Mann who is doing an extended tour of [[Montrei]], to the joy of the locals.
*Alder Johannes, né Reginald Douwait, of Middlesex, renowned mostly for his monobrow is a court favorite for [[Diana I of England and Scotland|Queen Diana]], playing pianoforte in very dashing sequins.
* [[Angelita Diaz]] is an openly bisexual (in a relationship with novelist [[V.A.Howard]]) pop artist from Montrei, very popular in Montrei, Alta California, etc. who has just (in 2005) made a debut album in the NAL.
*[[Jean_de_Cournouaille]], [[Tejas]]-born singer-songwriter living in the [[NAL-SLC|NAL]]
*[[EastWest]], a former band from [[Turkestan]] who invented the musical style that now bears their name.
*[[Êtres-Vivants]], a wildly popular band from [[Saint-Louis]], pushing what has been dubbed Hyper-Jass. (said in a way to rhyme with Creeper-Grass)
* [[NoMoreEagleZ]] the now-disbanded rock group from the 1970s and 80s, one of the major icons of that generation.
*[[Collective Arse-Biters]], a grungy fuzio band originating in [[Aquanishuonigy]], blending some Native sounds with energetic fuzio.
*Claudius Pollinc, a minimalist from [[Atmar]], [[Xliponia]], composer of slightly disturbing pieces like
**[[Media:Jassify-3.mid|''Jassify-3'']], an eclectic jass-classical fusion
**[[Media:saXyl.mid|''saXyl'']], an intolerably long sonata for two instruments, never publicly performed in its entirety, a very small part of which is on file, playing (the word is used advisedly) on the '''x''' in sa'''x'''ophone, '''x'''ylophone and '''X'''liponia
*Zaydeco Warrior ([[Louisianne]]) released in April of 2003 'Getting Jiggy on the Bayou Tonight' (&lt;''Fuzió'')
*Antonia dei Angeli, an Italian pop singer from [[Tuscany]], very popular across Italy and abroad.
*''Viva Italia'', an Italian group from [[Aosta]], one of the few bands that sings only in Italian. Their efforts are changing the perception by native Italians that Italian is an &quot;ugly language&quot;.
----
[1] Although the proper German title is &lt;I&gt;Preimerische Konzerte&lt;/I&gt;, the usual English title is, in fact &lt;I&gt;Pommeranian Concertos&lt;/I&gt;. English is a weird language and often refuses to play by the rules. &quot;Premarian Concertos&quot; is a common title form found in European discographies, and is increasingly favoured by anglophone musicologists.

      <text xml:space="preserve">&lt;b&gt;Qvelbe&lt;/b&gt;, also known as &lt;i&gt;Guinea-West Indian quadrille&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;scratch band&lt;/i&gt; music, is an indigenous grass-roots form of folk music from the [[Cruzan Islands]] and has spread to other parts of the Caribbean and [[Guinea]]. Qvelbe music is played by scratch bands, who play homemade instruments one can &quot;scratch up.&quot; For example, one man might be blowing through a car-muffler pipe, another scratching a hollowed-out gourd with a hair pick, and yet another picking at a banjo made from a sardine can, a piece of wood and strings. Scratch bands contain at least one melodic instrument and at least one percussive instrument.

= History =
Qvelbe originated in the [[Cruzan Islands]]. The Cruzans, who worked on the sugar plantations as slaves, brought with them a percussive and rhythm-based musical tradition and rich storytelling practices from [[Guinea]]. The plantation owners, however, outlawed the use of drums by the slaves. Over time, the Guinean descendents turned to the Scandinavian colonizers' military bands and social music, especially the Scandinavian folk music, as models for new instrumentation and melodies, and to the quadrille, a square dance for four couples, for new dance moves.

Though the percussive musical and dance practices brought from [[Guinea]] changed significantly, the storytelling tradition (called quelbe) was never lost. A form of oral history, qvelbe is used to immortalize significant historical events, spread &quot;rude&quot; gossip about one's neighbours, and relay the day to day trials and tribulations of life in a small community. The way in which quelbe lyrics were used to convey historical events is evident in a song entitled &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;LaBega&lt;/nowiki&gt; Carousel&quot;. By the early 1900s slavery had long since ended in the [[Cruzan Islands]] and jobs were scarce. The economy had drastically declined and living conditions were poor. The very popular song bears witness to the resulting labor unrest. The song proposes the boycott of a popular carousel owned by a man named &lt;nowiki&gt;LaBega&lt;/nowiki&gt;, who said that laborers were not worthy of a pay raise. This song is still quite popular today. A strong Cruzan spirit is apparent in the lyrics:

:&lt;i&gt;Cruzan&lt;/i&gt;:
::Mi adu lo drik rum alga nat
::Voor mi lo ride na &lt;nowiki&gt;LaBega&lt;/nowiki&gt; Carousel.
::Ju no hoor wat &lt;nowiki&gt;LaBega&lt;/nowiki&gt; seg?
::&quot;Die folk no meer werdi as tien styver per deg.&quot;
::Mi er looper, mi er kiker, me er tiker
::Voor mi lo ride na &lt;nowiki&gt;LaBega&lt;/nowiki&gt; Carousel.

:&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:
::I'd rather go drink rum all night
::Before I go ride on &lt;nowiki&gt;LaBega&lt;/nowiki&gt; Carousel.
::Haven't you heard what &lt;nowiki&gt;LaBega&lt;/nowiki&gt; says?
::&quot;The people are not worth more than ten styvers a day.&quot;
::I am going, I am seeking, I am begging
::Before I go ride on &lt;nowiki&gt;LaBega&lt;/nowiki&gt; Carousel.

      <text xml:space="preserve">With a style mixing old and new elements, the Cirque du Roi Soleil is the premier cultural export of the [[New_Francy| Intendancy of New Francy]].

In the decades following its birth in the old port of Ville-Marie, it has become world famous for its lack of animal acts, its baroque costumes and its employements of champion-level athletes. 

At any time, there are at least 5 troupes perfoming in various part of the world. 

Its headquarters, which double as its performing school, are located in Ville-Marie, New Francy.

      <text xml:space="preserve">'''Ill Peleirin''' is a long-running [[Kemr]]ese science fiction television programme produced by the BBC about a mysterious time-travelling adventurer known only as &quot;''The Stranger''&quot;, (the [[English]] name of the character) who explores time with his companions in a &quot;TEDDRING&quot; (Temp E DDimensiwn Reladiw I NGwaglog), fighting evil.  His most infamous enemies are the ''Ddalec''.  The catch phrase is &quot;Dirumheth! Dirumheth!!&quot; (Destroy! Destroy!!).   Ill Peleirin is also the title of a 1996 television movie featuring the same character. It is common to see the show's title listed as just &quot;Stranger&quot;, even by the BBC, although purists consider this form incorrect.

The programme is one of the longest-running science fiction television series in the world and also a significant part of [[FK]] popular culture. It has been recognised for its imaginative stories, creative low-budget special effects and pioneering use of electronic music (originally produced by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop). Elements of the programme are well known and identifiable even to non-fans. In Britain and elsewhere, the show has only been recently rivaled as a cult television favourite by [[Space Voyage 2245]] and has influenced generations of British television writers, many of whom grew up watching the series. It has received recognition from critics and the public as one of the finest British television programmes, including a BAFTA Award for Best Drama Series in 2006.

The programme originally ran from 1962 to 1990. A series of television movies were made from 1991 to 1996, and were later syndicated as a series of 30 minute segments from 1996 until 1999. The programme was successfully relaunched in 2004, produced in-house by BBC-Kemr. Some development money is contributed by the Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which is credited as a co-producer in overseas markets, although they do not have creative input into the series. Broadcast outside of the Commonwealth of the 2005 series began on March 17, 2006 in [[Louisianne]], [[Oregon]] and [[Montrei]].

The new series, starring Tom Garvey as Ill Peleirin and Elizabeth Rhinalt as his companion Daisy Knightley, with regular appearances of Gwillam Horsht as a benign, and often useful stowaway in the Teddring began in the FK at 7.15pm, 15 April 2004 on BBC One.  Ill Peleirin is produced by Durfriw Dewi.


== The Stranger ==
The Stranger is an unnamed inhabitant of &quot;The End of Time&quot;, an era in the far future where the entire known universe has been pacified. With a lack of enemies and mastery of regenerative science, humans spend their near immortal life in peaceful philosophical pursuits.  

Craving for the excitements which this era lacked, the man who would become known as The Stranger spent his days trying to devise a machine that would allow him to travel back in time and experience more chaotic times. 

This machine, the TEDDRING actually included not only the Time-Displacement Generator but the entire home of The Stranger which had been caught in the Timewaves when it was first turned on. It was this house then that traveled through time but due to a quirk in parachronic physics it would always rematerialise inside some other construct already in the time period visited. This meant that while the inside of the TEDDRING always remained the same, the outside might be much smaller (in one episode, the TEDDRING door became linked to the flap of a postbox). 

The Stranger thus became an adventurer, visiting famous events and sometime getting caught in them. He also quickly developed an habit of picking up &quot;Time Hitchers&quot; who would travel with him for a time only to leave when they would find a more suitable time period. At one point it was revealed that the periods into which he had traveled were all part of another timeline then his own meaning that his actions would never result in changing his native era.

During one adventure, The Stranger was captured by the Ddalecs and put into their Soul Extractor. When his body was later destroyed, The Stranger was forced to inhabit the body of a comatose patient to be able to interact with the physical world once more. Over the years, The Stranger (now existing as a disembodied being) was forced to inhabit a few different bodies following various incidents that occurred to his then current bodies.   

== Adversaries ==
Originally, The Stranger's adversaries were simply characters from the time period he was visiting but it was decided after a few episodes to introduce a recurring villain. The episode in question, &lt;i&gt;&quot;The Necropolis&quot;&lt;/i&gt;, began with The Stranger deciding to return to a period he had previously visited only to find it changed. Instead of the thriving 1920s Castreleon, he arrived in a desolate and burned version of it covered with graphitis that read simply &quot;The Ddalecs are here&quot;.

[[File:Ddaleks.gif|thumb|ddaleks]]The Stranger later discover that the Ddalecs in question also came from The End Of Time but in an alternate timeline. The humans there had come to the conclusion that all the pain in the world was the result of unpredictability and to achieve the peace they craved they went about destroying everything that they perceived as chaotic (or unDdalec as they referred to it). They eventually shed their organic bodies to inhabit spheres which were not only perfectly identical but also made them much more resilient. 

After having conquered the entire known universe (and subjecting its inhabitants to the same process of soul extraction) they accidentally discovered the existence of other timelines. With the cold efficiency that characterize them, the Ddalecs set about conquering those parallel universes putting them at odds on numerous occasions with The Stranger.

While being The Stranger's &quot;main villains&quot;, other adversaries beside the Ddalecs have appeared over the years including    ''The Hunter'', a native of The Stranger home-era who fear that his meddling in alternate timelines might eventually damage the fabric of time itself. While relentless in his pursuit, The Hunter (unlike other adversaries) has always been shown has an honourable (if misguided) person. 

A group of adversaries seen in some early episodes, the ''Time Raiders'', caused some controversy. These characters, supposedly dark ages Saxon bandits who rode magical &quot;chrono-horses&quot;, were presented more as caricatures of modern Englishmen then historical Saxons and were considered by some viewers to border on racism. The group was dropped after the producers received too many complaints although they later introduced another similarly equipped groups of villains, time displaced Anglo-Norman Knights, who were scraped after only one appearance.

==Other Incarnations==
With the discovery of the Ddalec's alternate timeline came the realisation that many more timelines might exist. This was exploited by the producers who decided to release a feature length movie with a larger budget and different, better known actors. This movie, which was promoted as an &quot;Alternate Adventure&quot; of The Stranger, was generally poorly received due to the liberties it took with the original material (the main character real name being &quot;John Stranger&quot;) while at the same time copying many episodes' storylines.

Although it had been presented from the onset as only an alternate version, it ended up causing much confusion with new viewers many of whom had been introduced to the characters through the movie. It was thereafter decided to institute a policy of &quot;Quod Scripsit Scripsit&quot; meaning that any new timeline introduced would be based on divergence from outside the show continuity (such as a timeline where dinosaurs are not extinct) and not containing &quot;re-imagined&quot; characters or events from past episodes.

This policy had the result that unlike other series, every story, every publication (books, tv specials, radio shows, etc..) are considered to be canonical in regard to its continuity. Because of this, many new stories were written over time to try and mend apparent continuity errors only to create new ones.

==An Excerpt of a More Famous Episode==
Dredged from the Archives of the BBC:


:&quot;But, Mr. Peleirin,&quot; said the loyal companion, &quot;surely the fate of the kingdom and the succession would be at risk if the king died now.&quot;

:The infamous gentleman in motley paused.  It was not for no reason that he was considered older than actors and wiser than ratings.

:&quot;No, my dear,&quot; he replied, &quot;I am strictly forbidden to interfere with your human politics, lest we cross the time streams.  Who knows what could result from that!&quot;

:He bounded away.  &quot;Keep up,&quot; he boomed, &quot;we still have an adbreak left to spoil the fluffy bunny robots' evil plan to destroy the universe!&quot;

''[to be continued...]''

== Trivia ==

* Peleirin often saves the day by &quot;contrwollar lla bolardad di lla fain niwtron&quot; (reversing the polarity of the neutron current).

* Another famous quote is:
&quot;Yst es Castreleon.  Llondin nghoidarew rhen se'll inheir di Ghemr
ddruith-bunent affunaf i lla for.  Fon Ddew! Eo yscurs fil yn Comro!&quot;&lt;br&gt;The quote was used by an alien predator masquerading as the Rheithur of Castreleon and exemplifies for many Kemrese viewers the relationship that exists between London and Castreleon.

* The TEDDRING, as seen on the outside, was originally supposed to always stay the same shape (a dome made of canvas). After a few incidents while transporting and setting it up, it was decided that it would be more cost efficient to simply use some construct on location for the TEDDRING outside appearance.

* The Ddalecs were originally presented as highly religious believing that oneness of appearance and mind would in effect, make the whole of the Ddalec into God. Combined with their nationalistic outlook (seeing their way of life as superior) and a few other not-so-subtle reference to it, the Ddalecs were clearly intended to be an allegory of the SNORist regime. Most overt comparisons (such as the first Ddalec's human name being an anagram of Kornilov) were retconned away over the years.   

* The Incident with the Ddalec's Soul Extractor was written during the 3rd season for practical reasons. The actor that had played The Stranger until then had suddenly left the show after being refused creative input. Some rationale then was required to explain a change in actor. Later, this plot device was re-used whenever a new actor needed to be brought in. 

* After the BBC stopped producing new episodes, the series was distributed in a few others countries where it gained a cult following. With the number of back episodes quickly coming to an end, a conglomerate was set up to produce new ones. a made for TV movie was made but received a disappointing rerun, ending any hope of further non-british episodes being made. Interestingly, one of the staff writer on the TV movie was [[Eugenio Roddenberry]] who went on the produce his on series, &lt;i&gt;Space Voyage 2245&lt;/i&gt;.

* The rumour that Telefisiwn Comroig &lt;!-- Isn't that the BBC? --&gt; was going to get a known transvestite to play Ill Peleirin has been confirmed as a prank.

      <text xml:space="preserve">&lt;i&gt;Jumpers&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Saltadores&lt;/i&gt; in the original Castillian) aired in [[Montrei]] from 1995-1998.  The series followed the adventures of a group of &quot;Jumpers&quot; as they &quot;jump&quot; from one parallel universe to another (hence the name).  Due to damage incurred to the jumping device, the jumpers cannot control where or when they jump, and generally got caught up in some kind of trouble on every Earth they landed in.

Some of the worlds visited:
*United North America: a more expansionistic [[NAL-SLC|NAL]] spreads all the way to the Pacific.
*[[Communism]] world: The Communists won the Russian Civil War, and later expanded beyond [[Russia]], dominating the planet
*Pax Romana: Where the [[Roman Empire]] wasn't destroyed and continues to rule the world
*Vive le Roi: Where the French Revolution didn't happen and where the French were able to rout the foreign colonies from North America.
