Fourth attempt let's do this! - Europe in the Half-Life Universe, Before the Arrival of Freeman

The First Nations of Australians are believed to have arrived in Australia roughly 60,000-50,000 years ago, which is before other groups moved into the other regions of Earth.

I have exactly no idea why they went straight to Australia instead of anywhere else, it was either because of competition with other Homo species, or the Dreamtime is the true belief, and every other religion has gotten it wrong.

Either way, it's fascinating that they decided to move there.

Basically Unity day is a holiday in Kazakhstan to celebrate the ethnic and cultural diversity of Kazakhstan, which also includes people that got deported to the country during the soviet times, such as Belarusians, Germans, Ukrainians and perhaps most famous, the Koryo-Saram people.

Now I'm not trying to say multi-culturalism is bad by any means, hell I'm Australian I live for this shit (you'll never take cheese naan away from me) I just wanted to try a hand at dark humour

I don't have to explain the 1453 conquest of Constantinople right? This shit gets covered pretty much everywhere, hell I learned in year 11 Australian history!

Hello, I made a small collection of flags for the numerous First Nations people of Australia, as well as the numerous separatist micronations that numerous nations have attempted.

Now a lot of these flags to me are bloody beautiful (except for the central west Wiradjuri flag), my personal favourites are the Murrawarri Republic flag, the Yidinji Sovereign Government flag, and the Tiwi Islander flag.

Now obviously there are likely more than just these flags, but unfortunately I have not been able to find any others (I struggled finding high quality versions of most of the flags presented today) so if you have any other flags, please post them in the comments!

Whenever I try to do world-building with human history and our world, there's always this divide that I and probably you create in your head: "do I take this seriously, or go full alien space bats?". Because on the one hand, you wish to be as accurate and logical as possible, really take it seriously and create a work of art, on the other hand, you just want to have some fun with your project. While this seems standard, I make this post because I want to remind people that you don't have to follow one path all the time, because it's your project, and I just simply wanted to remind people of that, it's yours and you can choose whatever path makes you the most happy.

If you go down the care-free path, it's pure bliss, you can write whatever to deal with your stories issues, very 'toys out of the box' you feel me? Like, "the Evil Emperor Plotholes has taken your story hostage, so you must gather whatever you can and save the day!" so you just make shit up and boom, problem solved!

However if you take the more serious path, you have now become involved in a grand chess match against grand Chess Master Plotholes, so you have to think of every little detail, anything that can secure you a satisfying checkmate against your arch-nemesis Plotholes.

Ultimately though, it's up to you on which path you take with your project, do you wish to be the kid playing with their toys, getting the most enjoyment you can with your worldbuilding, or do you wish to be the chess master, someone who's work can rival that of the greatest of the greats.

Or you could completely freeball it like me and just bounce around between the two for just one of your projects, which is how one of mine became a complete mess with a list of just some of the ideas I thought of:

  • The USA getting a new constitution (but no civil war)
  • Extremism, both left and right decrease in popularity, and will never become mainstream politics ever again
  • oil companies moving into space and establishing warlord states across near space, and Earth has more nuclear and renewable energy sources
  • somehow, the Ming dynasty has returned
  • abortions for all
  • terrorist groups are gone
  • Australia gets some new states and territories (not territorial expansion but within the country)
  • Australia gets cool new trainlines like a super railway that goes through the outback
  • Australia becomes the world's most number one country
  • First Nation Australians get their own territories analogous to Nunavut in Canada
  • OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE OY OY OY
  • Pauline Hanson fucking chokes on an apple and the only people around her are First Nations, LGBTQIA+, and communists, so she croaks like the old frog that she is
  • Slightly more constitutional monarchies
  • Prussia's back and they made it woke smh
  • It's now the Canaan Federation because I don't like genocide all that much and if it's one or the other, just expect there to be one of the worst genocides in modern history
  • Nationalist movements and tribalism fall to the wayside and like political extremism, never comes back
  • France pays back all the money it stole from Haiti
  • Slightly bigger Mongolia
  • East African Federation but without Congo and Somalia because the current proposed borders are personally RANCID (don't worry things go good for them independently)
  • Indie studios become the new powers in the entertainment industry (like I imagine Glitch Productions becoming a contender with Disney and the likes)
  • A construction robot gets struck by lightning, becomes seemingly sapient, claims to be Thor, and goes around killing Nazis at rallies then disappears
  • Oman is now the richest country on Earth, and now a Caliphate
  • Somehow, the Incan empire returned
  • It's now a world where women feel safer to be with a man in the forest than a bear
  • A SECOND PORNHUB HAS HIT THE INTERNET
