This AAR is now complete, yes it was short, but that was intentional. I'll be starting my next AAR on Monday.

Erm, sound policy for a strong nation.
And I’d thought he was immortal.
Sounds like the end of the road.
Ah, and it is! Short and ridiculous but amusing along the way, in an entirely surrealistic fashion. Good luck with the new work.

Immortality means he doesn't age or die from age/disease related things. However he could still be killed, seeing as he still has to breathe, choking seems like a likely way he could be killed.

Will it be 'cannibal free'? Asking for a friend.

Not intentionally, but I can't make any guarantees. (Edit: Scratch that, Bob mandated cannibalism).

This is hilarious. RIP Earth. Hopefully his children do not take after Snedgus...
Why did Snedgus have so many children anyway? If he's immortal, he doesn't need them for the succession, and he has magic - he can (probably) have sex without producing offspring.
Were his advisors suspicious of him after he started eating people? Or was that normal to the "inner circle"?

Luckily (for the other planets) they don't
Apparently the magic doesn't believe in contraception (sorta checks out, in the third novel series it's insinuated that Ben was a conservative, right-leaning Prime Minister (and he has 10 children of his own within a space of 13 years) (as his rival is explicitly stated to be left-wing), Fred doesn't really have political views (in the first and second series he exists to be cannon fodder) and Jeff is a self-serving billionaire (so following the magical Ben makes sense in this instance))
They kinda shrugged it off, I guess (like in most of my novels, one or most of the antagonists surround themselves with sycophants who don't ever question them (the only case where it falls apart is in the second series when the Irish Leader of the Opposition loses the support of his 'party' (more like cult) when his teenage protege proves to be a much more competent leader during a debate against a very weak coalition.)
Said debate has some vibes from the one in America in June (In this analogy, Coalition = Democrats, with a 40-year old drug addict and philanderer as a disinterested Prime Minister, while Opposition= Republicans, with a 37-year old billionaire who can't stop ranting about radioactive squirrels, NFL players, ex-love interests (he didn't even date them), why hygienic people should be on a register, why 25 should be the age of majority (which raises eyebrows about his 19-year old protege), alcoholism, his support for capital punishment, why reality TV should be replaced by his idea of mixing the Hunger Games and Saw, his social media platform replacing all others, the need for him owning everything, and plenty of other things). The other two main antagonists of the second series also lose support to other degrees (The 49th President of America ends up undoing all of President Smith's (#48) 'reforms' and arrests his supporters, while the Archdruid ends up making an alliance with a guy from the debate (this guy is incredibly incompetent) that leads to the one-time 19 year old and a priest starting a revolution). The magical beings only found out about what Snedgus was doing at the very end.

Apologies that I missed all the fun and silliness while I was away. Glad to see some entertainment here and you are definitely keeping folks amused. Need to finish your first AAR before I jump into the third AAR.
Now my head is spinning. Thank goodness the evil Snedgus is no more.

No problem. I'm able to be around because I don't really have anything to do irl (my exam results are coming out tomorrow and I'm taking a gap year). If by the third AAR, you mean the CK3 one, don't bother, I cancelled it. If you mean the third CK2 AAR, carry on once ready.
But other evil rises...
