Uhhh... Never mind. I think I got the wrong door, sorry.

I have broken my Spinal Laser Weapons taboo, and my world's dreadnoughts will have at least one spinal weapon, preferably a giant fuckoff laser that can bore a hole through another ship, or a giant tractor beam to toss asteroids if you're on a budget.

Northern District:

North Columbia. A highly advanced surveil- ahem, city that owns the most advanced technologies in all of Columbia. They have perfected the science of robotics and have an impressive weapons industry. They also have the most access to Columbia's stash of Tesla Crystals, the Continent's most sought after power source. They also have an island that they have lend leased to a corporation from the Shen Dynasty. What they do there is their business. North Columbia also employs "Frontiersmen", ruthless mercenaries who decimate the native population under the guise of "protecting Columbian territory" on the uncivilized forests far away from the city. North Columbia is also where the Columbian Intelligence Department is headquartered. North Columbia's governor himself is also very advanced in that he has surpassed his human body to a robotic one and is totally not an AI.

Western District:

Cascadia. Cascadia is a popular tourist spot and is the main source of the tourism industry that helps the Columbian economy. Tourists can enjoy casinos, hotels and party all night on private islands. It's also home to the elite Columbian Rangers that saw combat in the Reunification Wars and the War against the Federal Subjects of Zhelezo. As the district closest to the ocean, it is where the Columbian Navy is stationed. Advanced watercraft and battleships are researched and constructed day by day. There is also a booming natural gas industry here as Tesla Crystals don't come easily especially since North Columbia hoards all of them. Rich CEO's enjoy the nightlife here protected by Private Military Corporations from the ghetto hoodlums below. Cascadia's governor is more focused on the profit of the district as he believes it helps the success of the nation.

Southern District:

South Columbia. A conservative state locked in a war between the Traditionalists and the Cartel. The Traditionalists want to live a life like the good old days and enjoy drinking beer and shooting guns. The Cartel just wants to start a legitimate pharmaceutical industry. You'll find nothing but coyotes here in this barren wasteland. Education in South Columbia is decent, with it being commanded by the National Defense Institute which teaches children how to use firearms. Two candidates argue over who gets to represent South Columbia at the monthly summits. El Grande, the leader of the Cartel claims he is not a crime boss but a legitimate businessman who wants to help the healthcare in the district, whereas Joseph "Big Joe" Johnson, a self proclaimed true cowboy, wants the nation to practice traditional values that secure the nation's history and identity.

Eastern District:

The Commonwealth. Honestly besides the Syndicate coming in every now and then to ask for protection money, this district is the best place to live as a normal person. A haven for the lower class, the Commonwealth provides a calm livelihood and an agriculture industry capable of feeding the entire nation for a career choice. But watch where you're going lest you step into the path of a SuperTruck.

The Middle:

The Pentacle. A large office building and atrium used to house the monthly summit where every governor comes together to discuss the nation's state and what they should do about it. They don't always come to an agreement or do anything at all but when they do it usually harms the general public. The Pentacle is considered a neutral site so no district can assume power over it. This is also where the outpost for the Continential Guardianship Organization is stationed, for their operations within this nation. The Pentacles owns a massive subway system that reaches across the nation, allowing for quick access all around.

Furry visual novel is called "Manifesto Symphonia", a fvn for the itch.io May Wolf 2026 furry visual novel jam. In turn, this game is the manifesto of my artistical movement called "The Symphony".

This is so random I had to post it here. I am not making this up. Let me explain this briefly.

In my world, humans are derived from canidae. They look like lemur-dog anthros. These people, let's call them "wolfmen", first appeared in the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa instead of central/subsaharan Africa like irl humans. They can go through a second puberty. In their second puberty, they basically transform into a werewolf, partially or totally. As a result, they have a lot of folklore revolving around the transformation and canids. This includes the idea of woods feeling like one's second home, which is present in many cultures of my world. Simultaneously, people who live in less forest-like areas often have a tendency to become depressed or even commit suicide due to a deep feeling of dettachment. This is mostly cultural/psychological, not a biological thing. Also, wolfmen are immunologically more delicate than real life humans and fall victim to hot-humid and very cold climate diseases easily, so the great Asian empires were not as big as they were in real life. Taking this into consideration, I wrote forest cultures as generally more difficult to invade due to feeling more in their element. I wrote all this when designing the pre-history of my world, so I could later on figure out how to write the international history of it.

This is how we get to the current state of things of my world. As a byproduct of forest peoples being "harder to invade", the Roman Empire never got as much control of Europe in general as it did in real life. As a result, it was a less powerful empire and they couldn't get much control of the Levantine region, which was mostly unbothered by Egyptians because they were not very powerful either due to plains depression and diseases. Israel-Palestine were less threatened by external superpowers, so they had the perfect scenario to flourish. Judaism became a bit more widespread than in real life, posing a formidable competitor to Christian Churches and branches of Islam. There were more religiously Jewish people and branches of Judaism were bigger. The Jewish were not as systematically oppressed in pre-medieval and medieval ages as they were in real life. Israel-Palestine and the Levant in general greatly contributed to science and indirectly caused an earlier birth of universities. They were allies with Spain. Capitalism developed earlier but still came to a halt until the Industrial Revolution happened.

The great discovery of America by the Old Worldhappened in the 17th-18th century. A great part of Nordic peoples relocated into America due to demographical collapse (diseases), finding America by accident, but this was not comparable to Columbus finding America. Instead, it was found by an expedition of Levant and Spain people after years of intense study of avant-garde geographical theories pointing out to a new undiscovered continent.

Thing is, I don't want my lore to diverge too much from real life lore. Any advice on how to handle the contact of the Old World with America and the whole history from 18th century to 21st century?

Naturally any good creator or author blatantly crams their fetishes into their work, and I am definitely good at that.

Naturally, since I’m into shaving women’s heads, literally every world of mine has some reason for a woman character getting her head shaved.

Example of trope in media: V For Vendetta, where Natalie Portman’s character gets a very traumatic buzzcut

What weird stuff do y’all shove into your work?
