Deut5chland)A good and bold community newspaper is a thing that every respectable community should have, and Astellaria is no different. This idea first conceived by
Greatdux and Deut5chland on a random afternoon, goes by the name of [working title]; and is an ongoing community-driven newspaper series aiming to showcase the creative prowess of Astellaria. We will make it clear that [working title] be operated independently and not be the mouthpiece of any Astellarian government, and those who seek to achieve the censorship of any written piece of media.Introductory Article: Johann von Politik
Johann Von Politik was an active German Nationalist, writing various papers on German Unification when it was a lot less mainstream, including the publishing of one major paper in 1762, which became popular among various German Nationalists a hundred or so years later.
The man was also a little known debater, arguing with various people even before his infamous death, including one argument near a shop which ended with a man losing his eye and screaming: "MEIN EYEN" which would be from where we got the word, "Eye" from. Although the account of that one infamous day with his death is disputed even today among some historians, although the narrative that many came to conclude goes along this:
On a particular Tuesday Afternoon, following a long job of him being shoemaker the man was bored and of course did what many usuallly did at that time and that is to go to a shop to buy things, although he couldn't not notice the things he heard from nearby as he was buying a small gift.
"I think Germany should be unified" one man would scream.
"That's absolute bullshit!" the other would scream at the first man.
The argument would quickly escalate with various other people joining to scream at each other about something that did not have a word at the time.
Johann Von Politik, the ever present German Nationalist, would join the argument and argue as well, although his ideas would be considered so radical by various anti-unificationists that the argument became violent as people began exchanging fists to the face, including one man who brought a sword to the argument, and Johann Von, being the most radical would be the first victim, getting various heavy punches to face and would be stabbed, of course the man would not go down easily in the fight, exchanging various fists, screaming "COUNTARGUMENTM" from where we got the word counterargument from.
Although in the end Johann Von Politik would not make it past, eventually fainting and waking up a few hours later bleeding on the streets, before being caught by the ongoing argument by an anti-unifier who asks what his last words would be.
Johann responds: " I KNOW I AM RIGHT, ABOUT THE FUTURE, AND YOU'RE NOT!"
before being stabbed one final time and fainting again, this time for good.
Following the deadly fight, the man's name would quickly become prevalent as the major victim from the fight, with various residents from his town in Prussia making up the slang to Politiked, basically get beaten up arguing over national matters.
The term quickly would spread across Germany over the next century and eventually become more prevalent with German unification, and as the word would spread to Britain, the various linguists would give up at pronouncing it with a k and would instead make it into Politiced and eventually Politics.
His family still exists today, with various members of the Johann Von Politik Family also being German Nationalists but little is known about the family of today, alongside his birth year, some thing he was in his 40s during the fight, some think 30s.
But what is known is the danger, always remember the man. Johann Von Politik.

Deut5chland): "Iepte is the planet in which the events of Doychnya nations alike take place on. It was previously named Dunia. Shown in the image is the progress on the Iepte world map so far. The world map in question has underwent multiple illustrations and iterations but I personally hope this will be the very last I ever have to change.It's really important because once I finish the world map I get to start writing the world lore, in which in turn I will be able to write more detailed lore."
Q1: I wonder what was in your mind while making your flag?: Well that's a good Question. First of all, It's basically just a remaster of the Lacian-era Duxite flag which I basically made to distinguish Greatdux from Voghulia (which by the way was already a murky worldbuilding project at the time).
I basically originally just changed out the yellow for white, removed the emblem and rearranged stuff a bit. as I was basically designing that I thought to my self: Hmm, what if I put a double cross in there instead of just a plain Nordic cross or a tricolor, and what if I inverted the trend of putting the cross near the hoist? And that's how this flag was born originally.
This Redesign Basically Only Changed the Ratio of the Flag to 1:2, Thickened the Double Cross and Changed the Shade of Green.
Q2: Would you rather only be able to speak Romanian for the rest of your life or only English for the rest of your life?: English because then at least I can get father in life with that.
Q3: What's your favorite song you would say?: Hm. That's actually a pretty good question. You see I have like 1 bajillion favorite songs and it's difficult to pinpoint one of them as my most favorite. But currently my temporary favorite song is 
Davai Za by Lyube.
Q4:Well ever since you started retconning a lot of your lore, perhaps you could explain about it's new history and how it ended up in the geopolitical situation it situates itself in today.: Greatdux is the original name and is the name you know me as. Anyways, what if the unhinged child of Russia, Slovakia, and Austria had a communistic ocean-spanning empire which later collapsed due to the unstable nuclear policy of it's leadership destabilization from foreign intervention. It later resulted in a rump state and for about 20 years, became a flawed democracy before it's government collapsed due to a coup d'état from the Armed Forces who in question supported a certain party into power. It's now a security state nightmare.
Q4:What's your favourite color of the English alphabet?: Three.
Q5:What's a fun fact about your current leader?: First Minister Jarofogh Bučice, known as the "Iron Fist" by his opponents, is known for having cheated on his many romantic partners a total of 15 times; some homosexual, some not, before having joined the Duxite Imperial Army. Ultimately, he married with an imperial noblewoman after his fruitful military service.
Q1: Where did you get the idea for Experina's parliamentary systems?: Well, it was definitely inspired by the Israeli parliamentary system and it's fragmentation but I definitely took some parts from the German systems with the state elections as well. The presidential part was definitely more or so inspired by most parliamentary systems as well but just with the twist of the president being publicly elected., instead of their parliament.
Q2: How many leftist and rightist cabinets have there been in Experina's history Have there been more grand coalitions as well?: This is a part I haven't written much lore for yet. I have only done lore for 4 governments from 1998 to 2014, and of course considering the fragmented nature of Experinan politics there have been various grand coalitions, and you could count the current liberal unity coalition mainly the PE, PD, LDPE which stretch from social liberalism to stanch liberalism to libertarianism to liberal conservatism with the addition of the federalists FP and minority party KPP as a grand coalition of some sorts. However, there definitely have been more various wacky especially since recent times have been noticably stabler in coalition making.
Q3: Do you prefer classic vanilla ice to Polish-style cream-flavored cream?: Classic vanilla but preferably over it is chocolate.: Fantastic.
Q4: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?: No.
Q5: When did you begin writing Experina's current lore?: It depends on what you exactly mean by this as I really haven't thought much about Experina's history itself in detail aside from the LDPE and other various party stuff. I already had the idea of Experina being a federation for years so it depends in general what do you mean by current lore. But in general the current lore was written like a few months ago when I got back to worldbuilding. The States, the snipets, the parties, the cabinets.
Doych indirectly helped me gain motivation for my lore. So did Souzan.
Q6: Coca-Cola or Pepsi?: Water. I don't really drink soda since I think it neither tastes good to me.: Fair enough, carbonated water is better than any of them sodas.: I don't drink carbonated water either. Normal water.: Oh, that's good too.
Q7: Would you rather go to Detroit or the Golan Heights?: Difficult one because I'm getting shot in Detroit but definitely also a bit in the Golan Heights. I would prefer Detroit since you didn't say I have to stay there so I could see the US a bit while in the Golan Heights there's not much better to do than get shot by a Syrian on the frozen peaks. Would take the risk going to Detroit.
Q8: Would you rather be completely bald with one singular hair or balding with some hair in the back like Gorbachev but without the wine stain?: One hair bald.
