This article was written from an out-of-character perspective and might break the fourth, fifth, and even sixth wall. |
The Unified Governorates, as a setting, combines the:
- The dynamism of Britain in the 1970's;
- The openness of 1950's East Germany
- The managerial competence of the Russian state in the 21st Century.
Architectural aesthetic:
- Brutalist
- Gothic
- Industrial
Technology-levels in the UGB most closely those of a mid-to-late 20th century centrally-planned economy of the Eastern Bloc variety, with a heavy emphasis on resource extraction and heavy industry:
- Armaments manufacturing centred around the Autonomous Bailiwick of Mishagrad;
- Metallurgical enterprises concentrated around Gloomburg;
- Hydrocarbons (natural gas) extraction focused on the Governorate of Lachdolor
- The UGB relies heavily upon partners within the Benacian Union and the Raspur Pact for essential advanced components, microprocessors, modern synthetic materials, that would be beyond the means of domestic academia and industry to affordably develop or mass produce. The contributions of the Sovereign Confederation are integral to the functioning of the Benacian Data Network and the Panopticon Nexus. Vehicles and armaments from UGB arsenals are typically filled with components sourced from Floria, Natopia, New Alexandria, and Shireroth.
Languages spoken in the UGB:
- Praeta, by the military and ruling classes;
- Istvanistani, the everyday language of instruction and commerce;
- Other minority languages, such as Babkhi, Elw and Laqs/Lach, are tolerated where they are used sparingly by loyalist populations;
- Many other languages, particularly those spoken by the indigenous populations of the former United Isles, are spoken only by subjects without merit who have been deprived of liberties and protections under law.
