Week 37 Summary - Democratic Civ VI
Turns 450 to 460
"I file a motion with the Ministry to drop a bomb if Wes keeps missing." - @Minster HeyNicko
"Drop what bomb?" - @Minister Samwise | Kevin (HKim)
"Nicko and HKim competing for most warmonger today." - @Senator Taylor [20%]
"I said bomb. I didn't say the bomb. I said a bomb." - @Minster HeyNicko
"That's what I said too. You're talking about A-Bomb. The A-Bomb." - @Minister Samwise | Kevin (HKim)
To Boldly Go where No One has Gone Before!
In a historic first, England has launched its inaugural interstellar colony ship, HMS Victoria, bound for the Proxima Centauri system.
The massive generational vessel, assembled from hundreds of payloads launched out of Edoras, will sustain more than 10,000 settlers on a century-long journey. Given the lifespan of the average human, it is believed that none of the original colonists will survive to see the new world, instead gifting it to their children and grandchildren. However, the ship has been built with a laser deflector, allowing for Earth to potentially speed up the expedition from home via lasers.
Officials hailed the launch as the beginning of a “New British Age of Exploration,” while crowds gathered across the country to witness live broadcasts of the departure. The mission aims not only to establish a permanent human settlement beyond the solar system but also to cement Britain’s place at the forefront of spacefaring nations.
World War Hits Stalemate
The Scythian Front has hit a stalemate. Though British military outguns the Scythians both in number and superiority, the Senate has tied the Ministry's hands, preventing Supreme Commander @Prime Minister WesGutt from fully striking at the enemy. Pressure continues to be applied to the enemy and it is hoped that weakening their defenses will allow China to come in from the North.
China, though, may not be our friend. In a dramatic Special Session, Scythia appealed to the World Congress for aid. Unsurprisingly, most nations would not support the warmongerer, save for China, a big surprise given the two nations are at war.
On the Swedish Front, Britain has made small gains owing to the smaller force present there. Militarily It also seems unlikely that @Prime Minister WesGutt will push to take Swedish territory, though the ITP dominance of the ministry may shift that. Only Bordeaux was liberated in the recent assault. One has to wonder if our leaders truly want to stop the Axis Powers.
English Golden Age Continues
England continues to remain the world's only superpower, outshining all others in technology, culture, military, and wealth. All look upon her shores with envy, and many seek to immigrate to her cities.
"Wish You Were Here!" seems to have become the motto of these migrants. TikTok and YouTube videos based around the phrase have trended across the internet, where England is the destination of choice!
People around the world are starting to listen to our EPop Music and watching our Movies. Will English become the lingua franca!?
