The Sesame War - Part 3

     Guys, welcome back to the Sesame War! We left off with the rapid rise of the Sesame Empire, aka the Czechoslovakian Empire. They had fast war tactics reminiscent of the Mongol Empire. But in 1959, something shocking happened. So let's see what it was. Let's go, OttoRomans!

    As the empire rapidly grew, something shocking happened. Military Manager Big Bird, General Ernie, and Colonel Bert split from the Sesame Street Party, leaving the party in the hands of Party Secretary Abby Caddaby. (Judicial Manager Elmo Monster was still there, but he was barely doing anything.) 

    The new party formed by Bird was called the Czechoslovakian Liberation Organization. Though Caddaby was suspicious that "liberation" meant liberation from Sesame Street, she allowed it due to her trust of Bird, who helped with the growth of Czechoslovakia. 

    She made a big mistake. On September 7, 1959, Bird started negotiating with the United States and Soviet Union about forming an alliance. All of a sudden, Caddaby, who had no experience in military managing, was seeing her own military manager betray her. Now, she was calling all the troops in their occupied territories to go back to the homeland, where the Liberation Organization started a civil war. As a result, the Sesame Empire collapsed. By 1961, Moscow was no longer an exclave of the USSR, and the United States regained its ports. 

    Caddaby heavily regretted her decisions. First, she allowed her own friends to betray her. Then, she called too many troops to fight in the civil war. To fix this problem, she sent half of her troops back to the former occupied areas, but this gave breathing room to Bird's troops. By 1962, the civil war was over, and the Sesame Street Party was dead. Abby Caddaby was arrested, and is still in prison today.

    Following the party's defeat, the Treaty of Prague was signed. The treaty ceded all of the countries their land back. To prevent another war from happening, Czechoslovakia purposely split themselves into Bohemia-Moravia and Slovakia. (In real life, Bohemia-Moravia is Czechia, or the Czech Republic.) A year later, in 1963, Bohemia and Moravia split. (That didn't happen in real life.) Now, what was a major threat just one year ago was now 3 countries, Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. 

    However, there were a lot of remnants of the Sesame Street Party. The media calls them "neo-Sesames." In Bohemia, a major neo-Sesame party called the Friends of Abby currently holds the country's chancellor. In Moravia, two parties joined to restore Sesame Street. They are Super Sesame and Caddaby Group. They're part of a neo-Sesame alliance in Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia called the Sons of Sesame Street. 

    In the fourth and final part of the Sesame War, we'll see how the United States and Soviet Union dealt with neo-Sesames, and the aftermath of the Sesame War. See you there!

The Ager Centralis Enotitae and Pecunia - Enotitan Finance Guide

Image
The first ever bill issued by the Ager Centralis. This bill is for one Pecunia.      Almost every country has a currency. You have the dollar, peso, euro, pound, and much more. However, we did not have a currency. This is bad, because the economy is very vital to every country. That's why we established the Ager Centralis Enotitae (Latin for Enotitan Central Bank). From now on, Enotitans can use the Pecunia, our new currency.      To start, open an account at any branch of the Ager Centralis. (Currently, there are only branches in Olsen, the main state.) Present the teller any valid Enotitan government ID. Following that, give the teller any bill from any currency. After around 10 minutes, it will be converted and transformed into a Pecunia for the initial deposit.      You can use the card in Enotitan shops. You can buy souvenirs, food, or even use it to receive salary. (Enotitan companies besides government agencies do not exist at the mome...

Historical Facts: The 1867 Compromise and the Austro-Hungarian Empire

Image
     Okay. I think I gave you the end before the beginning, because this is about the rise of Austria-Hungary. If you didn't read the last article , that's on the fall of Austria-Hungary. But, I didn't know I would post on this. So, let's go!     Let's look at Austria in 1867. The previous year, they lost a war to Prussia and Italy. After Prussia defeated Austria, the other German states dependent on Austria had an uncertain future. (This would be resolved after the Franco-Prussian War.) But Austria also had an uncertain future. After losing wars, you would generally have a bad economy. Austria was no exception. And Austria already had many ethnicities in their empire. As I said in the last article, Austria had many minorities. In fact, I'll list just some of the most significant minorities in the Austrian Empire: Czechs Slovaks Poles Ukrainians Romanians Hungarians Serbs Croats Slovenes Italians     If this doesn't sound too complicated to you, think ...

Historical Facts: American and Japanese Rule in the Philippines

     This was based on Reader's Digest: The Story of the Filipino People - Parts 6 and 7 ( Under the Stars and Stripes  and The Japanese Occupation ) by Milagros C. Guerrero and Ricardo T. Jose.      Now that I think about it, I would call the Spanish occupation "the first storm," the American occupation "the second storm," and the Japanese occupation "the third storm." The "between the storm" parts would be 1898 - 1901 and 1935 - 1941.  Part 1 - The Second Storm (1901 - 1935)     After the Philippine-American War, the United States turned the Philippines into a colony. They gained it in the Treaty of Paris along with Puerto Rico, Cuba, and some other islands. The Americans needed to keep it away from Spain, France, and Germany.      Under Spanish rule, the Filipinos were taught Catholicism. But the Americans were mainly Methodist (a sect of Protestantism). American missionaries were sent to the Philippines, although most ...
