Fake Yabujin accounts

For those who still follow the first two accounts id recommend to unfollow it, they’ve been leeching off his fame and making false reports of releasing new albums etc, outright claiming there the real deal unironically in Q&A’s saying diabolical shit that Yabujin wouldn’t say and what not.

The real Yabujin is this , @za0za_0 , it’d be great if we actually acknowledge his work and that then following around leeches fr💀

Holy Roman survival concept - H.R.E colony of Waldena

Ottonian survival ;

The Ottonian dynasty ended in 1024, with the death of Henry II who died childless. He who was a deeply pious man (later canonised as a saint) was chronically ill his whole life, possibly in some sort of celibate mutual agreement with his wife Cunigunde of Luxembourg, it prevented him from bearing any heirs. The point of divergence in this timeline comes with Henry forgoing a second wife after Cunigunde proves barren, or she herself bears a son who survives infancy. This is the time period where divorce and remarriage among dynastic families were still common, and the church had little power before the Gregorian reforms… The man himself had strong relationships with the German episcopate and could have navigated himself to do so especially when he was still active and vigorous. Henry's advisor Archbishop Willigis of Mainz pressures him to take a politically strategic second wife, perhaps a Polish or Danish princess, thus resolving a simmering succession crisis, while solving frontier diplomatic problems simultaneously. Cunigunde, deeply religious, retires to her convent voluntarily and is later venerated as a saint. 

With a stable Ottonian succession it can be placated that the Investiture controversy could arguably never happen, the Ottonians were highly symbiotic with the imperial church, installing the Reichskirche system, implementing bishops as loyal royal administrators, contrary to this the subsequent Salian dynasty lacked the Ottonians personal relationship with the church, Henry IV was a child king whose regency was chaotic, easily exploitable by scheming popes such as Gregory VII. A strong Ottonian king in 1076 does not go to Canossa and the pope's temporal ambitions are checked a century earlier; the German princes never receive concessions because of this, and the prince’s confederation that made Germany ungovernable never fully forms. 

Historically the most effectively governed realm in Europe the kingdom promulgate its advance into Slavic and Baltic frontiers, Otto I had already established the Nordmark and Billunger March, which pushed deeply into Slavic territory. His friendship with Bolesław I of Poland was genuine and he envisioned a Christian Slavic commonwealth under imperial leadership. However in 1002 the Great Slav uprising rolled back German influence east of the Elbe catastrophically. With stable Ottonian succession Nordmark is reinforced, while missionary bishoprics at Poznan, Gneizno and Magdenburg are properly resourced and the Ostseidlung can begin a 150 years earlier then when it originally began, Poland becomes a duchy of the empire much like Bohemia with the Oder-Vistula plains - some of the most fertile agricultural lands in Europe becomes heavily settled by surplus population which weren’t lost in meaningless religious conflicts and civil wars which plagued Germany. 

With its gigantic weight the empire forces down the papal states, absorbing the rest of the peninsula and preventing the Norman conquests of Sicily, crucially Genoese and Pisan maritime networks become imperial assets not independent actors, providing remarkable navigational knowledge, connecting itself to mediterranean trade networks the empires geographic knowledge accelerates, the crusades never happen. 

Close situational relationships with the Norse and overall improved connectivity of Central - Europe, the empire could have been possible allies with the Danes or Norse gaining Trans - Atlantic navigational knowledge of lands such as Iceland, Greenland and ultimately Vinland. With the advanced shipbuilding technologies of the Hanseatic/Italian merchant leagues and the added navigational knowledge from the Genoans the empire began leering for new lands as the surplus population increasingly destabilised the nation.  

Named Waldena the first German explorers land on the coasts of the Antilles and Recife, named after beliefs that this continent was a land bountiful of forests which never ended. Throughout the centuries tens of millions of Germans preliminarily migrated to the colonies of Sanktottoland and Olsecesgau eventually combining to form the federal constituents which are the republics of Waldena. Because colonisation happened before the introduction of gunpowder to Europe many native kingdoms survived the onslaughts which followed, the  Germans fought centuries long wars against the Nomad confederations of the pampas and the empire of the four corners. Because of its highly societally centralised nature of their empire the Incas quickly adapted to gunpowder warfare when it arrived, cementing themselves as the guardians of the Andes despite minor strategic losses in the north. 

The same cannot be said for the natives of the North American continent with the remaining empires of the Toltecs and Chichimecas subdued and culturally assimilated in the Anglosphere, the empire's history is pertained through its constant efforts to establish its dominance in Europe and the world. Establishing its legacy in both the Americas, Africa and Oceania. The map partakes directly after the African partition conference circa 1832 and the 200th anniversary of Waldena’s independence from Imperial Germany. To its south lays the crown dependency of the South March a stalwart advocate for Imperial authority, closely intertwined with the Reich back home and fiercely independent, a prominent member of the Imperial Commonwealth, further south is the Kingdom of Gwladychfa, a Welsh remnant state which started off as shanty towns for Welsh deportees of Brittania, is a centre of Celtic literary arts and culture standing a high standard of living. The Arctic is clay of the Nords and Walds which rushed to pertain lands in hopes of colonising the Boreal south, now a major centre of trade for Arctic goods and inter - oceanic trades. 

The Americas and the world in general face an increasingly multi-polar world, Tawantinsuyuu much like Japan becomes a respected world power among the European powers, while the French and English empires leer at Imperial holding, conflicts will brew.
