Is there a dominant power on Universalis? If so, who? Or is the world multipolar. If so, who are the dominant ***global*** powers?
I'd always thought it'd be a three-way order of Aeridani, Kallisto, and Bielosia. Ethanthova and Amalthea do kinda trail behind, though.
Other than that, I'm pretty sure all the major nations in the world have the ability to influence the world globally.
Which nations have the largest conventional militaries? (Tanks, Soldiers)
Lyintaria, probably. Bielosia in second?
Which nations have the largest blue water navies? (Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, Frigates)
Aeridani, with Lyintaria or Bielosia trailing close behind.
Which nations have the most nuclear weapons?
Kallisto.
What are the some of the most tense relations on Universalis? (e.g. USA vs Soviet Union, North Korea vs South Korea)
Unsure. Bielosia and Lyintaria are a possibility, but at the moment they're sort of cooperating at the moment. Maybe Aeridani and Kallisto?
What are some of the least tense relations on Universalis (e.g., Scandinavia, USA and Canada)
Amalthea.
What nations are the wealthiest? (Purely by wealth, not by overall standard of living)
Aeridani. Aahrus or Nikaesi as city states.
What nations have the highest standard of living? (e.g., Norway)
Ethanthovan nations I'd expect, and perhaps some Loviniosan nations like Bielosia or Nikaesi, or even Aahrus. Some close contenders are most likely the Amaltheans and Aeridani, perhaps.
What nations are regional powers? (e.g., Brazil, Nigeria)
Way too many to count. Outside from Loviniosa, perhaps the TND, Kaeshar, Tutono or whatever it's called now, Hellpotatoe's biggest nation, Blaist Blaland, Red Rainbow, Darvincia, Solea.
What nations are potential upcoming global powers? (e.g., potentially China, India, Brazil)
Sort of unpredictable, there's many factors involving this kind of thing. In my personal opinion, Lyintaria and Blaist Blaland are close.
What nations are the most environmentally friendly?
Solea or Auspikitan, I can't remember.
What nations are the least environmentally friendly?
Aeridani for sure. TND and possibly Lyintaria.
Which nations are the most different?
Depends on what's different about them. Solea being the only nation (?) with nudism, Red Rainbow with hardcore communism, a few city states like Aahrus or Nikaesi, or the fact that Himalia's all messed up.
Who's coastlines/borders do you like the most, aesthetically? (Subjective)
Either Aeridani or Lysteriok.
How many oceans are there?
I think it's three now?
What are the largest, most influential cities? (Anything to specific cities to general locations where you think there should be a city)
Lizabechai (Bie.), Vincent (Eth.), Faehrenfall (Aer.), Xeriitonua (Lyn.), Aahrus.
What continents/regions are the most developed (infrastructure)?
Aeridani and Aiyoti are perhaps the most developed. Loviniosa follows close behind, although depends on the region in the continent.
What language(s) are most likely to become globally spoken? (e.g. English)
It seems like Livikien seems to be the most spoken with ~500 million - 600 million people.
What nation to you admire the most? Why? (Subjective)
My nations, of course. Other than that, probably Aeridani. Mainly because of its shape, geography, location, and people. Of course, militarily wise it's horrid with the fact that they seem open with war and nationalism and all, but I find it reasonable.
Amalthea trails behind since they're environmentally friendly, with an interesting language and government customs. Even though there isn't a lot of people (which makes them vulnerable, funnily enough), they seem to get everything under check.
Anything else you want to add?
Bielosia-Lyintarian relations aren't as bad as you think. Even though I depicted them going into a cold war or even total war, they're still buddies at present day haha. If something happened between them, though, like a diplomatic incident, it might spark something.
jk they're actually in a cold war atm don't poop your pants They're both on edge since they're the two powerful nations on the continent, but they're cooperating on major issues the continent presents. At the current moment their cooperation isn't going to break soon, but maybe in the future...
