I sometimes create fictional countries set in modern day and have a long term world building project of one. I want to keep them mostly grounded and I’m thinking of using ai like Gemini or chat gpt to CHECK if it would be realistic enough. All the ideas will still be mine but I’d make sure just to have the ai tell me if it would actually work. For example, I may ask the ai “Could this economy work in this country that has this situation”. The ai would just be a helping hand and all the ideas and world building would still be mine. I’d of course not let the ai be the final decision maker because it is my work after all. Do it would work more like a fact checker than anything else.
Would this actually a bad thing to do and would it have possible negative consequences for it?

I don’t know if everyone else knew this already, but it just clicked in my head. The core worlds are representative of places like Europe and North America, with their powerful influence and vast wealth, while the outer rim is places like Africa with poorer living conditions and massive exploitation of resources. The corporations just represent other irl corporations like nestle. I always knew that Star Wars was about anti-imperialism and highlighted inequalities in society but it just never clicked for me till yesterday, that the galaxy was set up that way.
Did you know this?
Was it pretty obvious to you?

I’m asking this because I’m creating a country set in the modern era in 2040. It is a wealthy nation, so it does have money to spend and spends roughly 4.5%-5.5% of gdp on defence. It is capitalistic but has the services that run the government nationalised (e.g. water, construction, gas, etc) as well as two of the biggest steel and ship manufacturing companies in the country.
Ask me if you need more information.
Edit: this is about design and production

This is not about the most money but the most recognised for. For example, electronics may be in every house, but cars may be the most recognisable.

Note: these examples are just examples and you can have other reasons to pick the one you chose.

Automotive: Sordland becomes world famous for its high quality car brands and every Arcasian oligarch and Catanan civil servant owns atleast one.

Agriculture: Sordland becomes known as the bread basket of Merkopa and many countries rely on it to meet their ever growing populations.

Electronics: Sordland becomes well known for its highly advanced tech industries and each house in Merkopa has at least one Sordish tech product in it.

Military: Sordland becomes a military powerhouse and is highly praised for its modern and reliable weapons that are sought out by many countries that seek to fight for ‘freedom’.

This is about the main industries you create through synergies.

These descriptions are just examples of what these industries could be used for.

Electronics: Help the CSP compete with the ATO and become a primary production hub for other socialist nations

Automotives: Have Sordish cars become world famous for their affordability and well known brands

Agriculture: Create a self reliant Sordland so its food supply isn’t susceptible to outside events

Military: defend yourself from the neo-capitalist pigs and liberate the Rums from their oppressors

Don’t know what flair would go with this?
I’ve gave some interest in the anime (not watched any yet), but I want to know in what order I should watch it in on Netflix?

Some time ago, a battlefield that stretched beyond the horizon of deeply entrenched mud that was strewn with barbed wire and decimated by water logged shell holes. All while it was layered by hundreds of corpses of soldiers scattered throughout, a lone soldier rushed desperately to her corporal, squishing the mud beneath her boots, as he bled out squalored amongst the dead. Dropping her gun to his side, she scrambled to stop the bleeding. But there was too much. With an ounce of strength left, he lifted up his hand and used it to rest her hands on his chest and mumbled a few words.

Foaming red from the mouth, he blurted out ”There’s nothing you can do now Buck.”

“No! We still have time. We can still get you to a field hospital! I just need to-”

“I won’t make it in time! You need to leave and save yourself.” he urged.

“We both know I can’t do that, don’t we?” she chuckled while tears trickled down her cheeks.

Starting to stumble on his words, he told her “But I won’t be here for you anymore. You’ll have to learn how to care for yourself from now on, ok?”

He then coughed out his final drop of blood and rested his head on the soft ground. Collapsing her head onto his chest, she began to breakdown and clasped the palm of her hands onto his knuckle. As a sea of grief mixed in with his pouring blood, she listened carefully to his vanishing heart. She desperately attempt of CPR on him, just like she was train at bootcamp, but it was to no avail and his beating heart finally stopped. She was then without him, without the man who helped her on their journey and who comforted her when the world felt a little too much. But when the string that kept her from falling finally snapped, she was forced to create her own rope. Binding herself to his last words, she promised that she would find her own way and stand up on her own two feet instead of cowering herself inside of a dead man’s arms. Staggering on her feet, she wiped away the bloody tears and screamed into the cold, dead air, releasing a storm of grief and anger. But the dead couldn’t hear her cries, it was only her and her thoughts that remained after the massacre.

(looking for any feedback on what the story falls short on and how I could improve it)

I currently have it overlaying my entire screen and no matter what I do, it won’t go away.
Whenever I try to open task manager or any other app, task manager will just block it. I tried multiple guides but non of them work. I don’t have anti virus installed, mom didn’t want to pay for and she’s at work in the day. It started at 3:01 am. There are no other pop ups, only the normal pc App Store screen. I went onto a website called suicidal short stories.

For years now I’ve been dealing with depression and it’s only gotten worse. Even with help I get I find it more difficult to hold onto life. To combat this and because it’s the break between leaving secondary school and entering college, I’ve decided to get into interests of mine like creating worlds and writing a bit, but it feels like I’m doing nothing as I might spend weeks wanting to do something but not being able to because I feel tired all the time.
Is there any advice you can give me to help me actually get up in the morning and do something?Because that’s what I feel I need to do at the moment, actually get up everyday and be productive.

I’m new to reading fantasy books again. I want to know any recommendations for me to start off with.

If you funded the army on a peace run, what branch would you fund? Would you expand it or modernise it? Would you remove conscription for a more professional army or keep it to have an intimidating army? Remember this is for RP purposes.

What types of economies would you have mixed with this?
E.g. capitalist but ally with Valgsland to keep your trade routes safe.

This is comparing their max. So every factory and all the funding.

Sordland economy has an industrial backbone that can support a large military industry and has a population use to it. It is easily able to supply a massive army and produce large quantities of vehicles.

Rizia is new to industry with its economic history is reliant on natural resources. However, if you build every factory, every branch of the armed forces can have modernised equipment and vehicles with state of the art planes and advanced ships.

This may be seen as harmful content, but because I am under 18, I would not be able to see my post

I hang here on a hill with everything to see
Overlooking this quaint countryside
I am ensnared in the boundless waves of an infinite sea
A fox drinking from a trickling stream, with nothing to mind
I am consumed by a limitless storm overreaching the endless horizon
Bunny’s nestle in the ground, unaware of the lurking storm
I then drown beyond the fathomless ocean, away from the reach of Poseidon
Leaves rustling from birds gazing at their new born
I am submerged, floating in the warmth of the loving abyss
Trees whisper the names of the drowned
I seek more from the unreachable depths, but they answer back with dismiss
Birds fling, for they are bot bound
I am carried by the commanding currents, left without thought
The storm forever draws near and none of them can hear

When they find me, I’ll be caught
And my hand will be cut red staring at countless thoughts
The storm will lume over drowning them deep, just like, they won’t sleep
They will be met with winds bellowing deep
They will be met with sobbing rain unable sleep
They will be submerged into a sea of grief
They will be a float, boundlessly in the second darkest void without relief

Then they too will be called the drowned
Whispered among the trees, just like me
But I am not bound

I want to make a plan on what the war would be like but don’t know how powerful its military is. What is its army like, how powerful is its airforce, and I know it’ll probably have a good navy but how good is it?

I am autistic myself and sometimes someone will ask a question or I heard something and I will know it but I can’t reach it. It’s like a feeling I have where I know what it is but can’t grasp it, and this happens often. As a metaphor, it would be if you were trying to touch the ceiling, but no matter how high you jump, you can’t reach it and is always out of reach. Is this an autistic trait, a trait from something else, or normal?
