Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts is a 2016 first person open world survival horror video game published by Activision in conjunction with Cabela's for XBox One, PS5 and PC. It is a reboot of the 2003 video game of the same name, also released by Activision in conjunction with Cabela's. It was made with Crye Engine.

The game focuses on a big game hunter who teams up with a biologist to investigate reports of unusually aggressive animals launching unprovoked attacks on human beings across the US and Mexico. As with the original games, the hunter has a limited amount of energy and can be injured, which results in failure. There are many weapons, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, knives and machetes. The game also includes many different animals including a final boss, the Chupacabra.

Unlike the original games, this game is open world. The player is tasked with uncovering the species of animal responsible for a series of fatal attacks on humans along the US-Mexico Border. 

The game received mixed reactions from critics, with many calling it “Grand Theft Auto as a hunting simulator" and others praising the reimagined premise, but criticized the choice of making a cryptid the final boss, with many believing the game to be a knockoff of the second game of the original series.

Not much lore for this one, except only Americans I found interesting end up as President.

In this timeline, the May 1926 coup d'état never happened and the First Portuguese Republic continued to rot, with cabinets and presidents continuously falling and being replaced by new ones without any change to Portugal's institutions. The Great Depression was the final straw, because Portugal, as one of Europe's poorest countries, was heavily affected.

In 1932, Francisco Rolão Preto established the National Syndicalist Movement (MNS), a fascist movement advocating for a traditional monarchy and opposing communism and capitalism. Rolão Preto soon obtained a massive following among conservative Catholics and the Portuguese military, who saw him as a potential "saviour of the Fatherland".

A year after the MNS's founding, the party contested its first general election, winning 44 out of 163 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 18 out of 74 seats in the Senate. Portugal's government was thrown into near-paralysis, prompting the Portuguese elite to feel they could use the National Syndicalists' mass following for their own purposes.

On 19 July 1933, the MNS carried out a coup d'état, known as the "March on Lisbon", forcing prime minister Afonso Costa to resign and name Rolão Preto his successor as the head of a coalition government between the MNS, the Sidonist PNR, and the Portuguese Catholic Centre.

Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and Portugal's traditional ally the United Kingdom soon recognized the new Portuguese regime. Rolão Preto named it the Estado Sindicalista (Syndicalist State) and announced his intention to turn Portugal into an organic, municipalist monarchy.

By the end of the year, Rolão Preto and his right-hand man Alberto Monsaraz had either suppressed or outmaneuvered the more moderate elements in their coalition, and transformed Portugal into a one-party state. The Portuguese monarchy was restored, but Rolão Preto broke his promise of municipalism and transformed Portugal into a totalitarian regime resembling Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, albeit economically more left-wing due to national syndicalism.

Rolão Preto would rule Portugal until his overthrow in 1965, modernizing and industrializing the country, albeit at the cost of civil liberties and human rights. He is a controversial figure in modern-day Portugal.

In the early 1980s, Argentine junta leader Juan Carlos Onganía, who hated the "communist Brazilian monkeys", began a secret nuclear program in order to counter Socialist Brazil's nuclear program. The United States refused to help due to its distrust of nuclear proliferation, but South Africa, Israel and Pakistan, all of whom had or were pursuing nukes, provided Argentina assistance to make them.

Argentina simultaneously developed the Condor series of missiles and worked on miniaturizing a nuclear warhead to fit inside them, again with Israeli help. Brazil's first nuclear test on 7 September 1990 prompted Onganía to accelerate his program further, because South Africa ceased to help due to the impending end of apartheid.

On 19 June 1992, Argentina tested its first nuclear warhead in the Andean state of Catamarca. Virtually the entire world condemned the nuclear test, with the USSR calling it an "outrage from a fascist regime" and the US saying it was "very concerning" that nuclear proliferation had spread further.

But the United States and France continued to support Argentina in order to contain socialist Brazil. Consequently, Argentina conducted further nuclear tests in September 1992, January 1993, May 1993, January 1994, August 1994 and March 1995. Following Onganía's death on 8 June 1995, his successor Roberto Marcelo Levingston suspended nuclear testing due to pressure from the United States.

Like in Brazil, the end of nuclear tests did not mean the end of Argentina's nuclear program, which continued to operate with support from Israel. In 1998, the Condor IV ballistic missile, with a range of 2,000 kilometers, entered service with the Argentine Army, significantly boosting Argentina's military capabilities.

Levingston's successor Mohamed Alí Seineldín continued saber rattling against Brazil, Chile and the UK, and the development of nuclear weapons; in 2006, Seineldín said Argentina would "never, ever" give up its nukes. Aldo Rico, who has led Argentina since Seineldín died in 2009, has continued this approach.

In 2010, Rico gave a press conference announcing Argentina was working on a nuclear submarine in order to patrol the South Atlantic and give the Argentine Navy a blue water capability. Argentina's economy has declined since Seineldín began a shift towards far-right Peronism, and this expensive nuclear submarine program did not help.

As of 2026, the Argentine nuclear submarine is 70% finished, and is expected to enter service in 2032. Argentina has a stockpile of 40 nuclear warheads that can be launched from missile silos, in contrast to Brazil's use of transporter erector launchers.

Most Argentines, even those who oppose the Junta, support the nuclear program due to their dislike of Brazil. This makes it unlikely for Argentina ever to give up its nukes, even if it democratizes (as Pakistan did several times).

The Labour Party leads "Romanians United for Andreescu", a coalition with the Romanian Socialist Party, which holds two seats in the Chamber of Deputies, and the Greater Romania Party, which has no parliamentary representation whatsoever but holds a few local council seats. Most Romanians, including Andreescu supporters, do not know this coalition exists.

Scholars are divided on how to classify the MP, with some classifying it as left-wing due to its economic policies, others calling it right-wing due to its nationalism and social conservatism, and others saying it is a left-wing conservative and syncretic party with views from both sides of the political spectrum. This classification is the most accurate one.

Specifically, Andreescu has pursued socially conservative policies, including a ban on "LGBT propaganda" and a tough approach on crime said to have disproportionately affected the Romani community. But his attempt to amend the constitution of Romania to ban gay marriage failed, and he supports legal access to abortion due to the disastrous abortion ban in communist Romania.

As Andreescu is an Eastern Orthodox Christian, the PM has close ties with the Romanian Orthodox Church, many of whose clergy support him due to his socially conservative views and support for Christian charity. He disagrees with the church on other issues and "strongly" supports the separation of church and state though.

Like the GOP is a nationalist party based around Trump, PM

is centered around Andreescu, who calls Ion Iliescu, the first post-communist leader of Romania, his main inspiration, and attended Iliescu's funeral, during which he cried. PM's 13 MEPs are members of the Non-Inscrits group in the European Parliament. They vote similarly to the PfE and the GUE-NGL, demonstrating MP's syncretic ideology.

The PM's main foreign partners are Fidesz in Hungary, Rumen Radev's Progressive Bulgaria, Smer in Slovakia, and the PSRM in neighbouring Moldova. Aleksandar Vucic's SNS also cooperates with the PM to a lesser extent, but relations between the two parties are fairly distant.

As of August 2026, the PM has 116,000 members across Romania, and 35,000 in the Romanian diaspora. Andreescu's birthplace of Craiova is the party's main stronghold, and is basically a one-party city under the PM, which controls the mayoralty and virtually all of the local council.

On 15 August 1990, Hungary held its first free elections since 1910. Marko Veselica's Croatian Democratic Union HDZ won a majority of seats in the Supreme Soviet of Croatia, while Ján Budaj's SDS defeated the MKP in the elections for the Supreme Soviet of Slovakia. Both Autonomous Soviet Republics declared independence the following day.

László Piros appeared in Hungarian State television to declare the secessions illegal, because the 1963 Constitution of Hungary declared the Hungarian state's unity to be "indissoluble". Piros ordered the use of military force to crush the secessions.

Hungarian troops rapidly occupied two-thirds of Slovakia and Croatia, but, to the Hungarian leadership's shock, Slovak and Croat-majority military units in the MN defected to the separatists, becoming the militaries of Croatia and Slovakia. Consequently, the separatists were victorious at the battles of Zagreb and Kosice, turning the tide of the war in their favour.

Upon becoming the premier of Hungary on 6 September 1990, Imre Pozsgay removed the "Soviet" from Hungary's name, changed its flag and coat of arms, and liberalized the economy of Hungary. But he refused to recognize the two separatist republics, and the war continued, with both sides mobilizing their economies and populations in support of the war effort.

Both sides committed war crimes, including the massacre, rape and deportation of civilians. Consequently, on 25 May 1991, the UN Security Council imposed an arms embargo on all three belligerents; this affected the separatists more than Hungary, most of whose equipment was domestically made by that point.

The war's outcome was uncertain at first, but from 1992 onwards, separatists slowly gained ground, and Hungarian casualties increased, making Pozsgay's government increasingly unpopular in Hungary. On 18 November 1994, the Croatian military captured Zagreb, restricting Hungarian control in Croatia to the border between the two countries.

This was followed on 12 January 1995 by the fall of Bratislava, which made the Hungarian military situation hopeless. Thus, Pozsgay was forced to begin negotiations with Croatia and Slovakia, culminating in the signature of a ceasefire on 16 March.

On 19 June 1995, a final peace agreement was signed in Cleveland, Ohio, under the mediation of US President George HW Bush. By signing the treaty, Hungary recognized the independence of Croatia and Slovakia and agreed to return separatist POWs to their countries of origin.
