The concept is so strange and outlandish it counts as a strange screenshot.

I only make empires that I can imagine in a Role-Play; my version of CoM are a stratocracy and my UN are a post-nuclear fanatical pacifist oligarchic bureaucracy, which I feel better represents their conflicting natures as pacifist/xenophiles and militarist/xenophobes.

There’s also this Empire made in the same vein as a bit of a joke based on every sterotype I could think of. The repugnant trait was supposed to represent space anti-Semetism back when that trait had a relations penalty. I make do with Xenophobe now.

lol, the Ancient Caretakers are just trolling you now.

I never know if to refuse their requests or not, do they ever get pissed off or is just as completely random as it seems?

My favourite is the xenophile FE, if you don't do what they want they condemn you to the...silent treatment!

That's all that happens; they close their borders and don't talk for about fifty years. It made me forget that while I could not access their territory, my enemies could.

That was fun.

Truly, the Ancient Caretakers are more enigmatic than the so-called "Enigmatic Observers".
 
Democratic and Sovjetunion... yeah, seems a bit odd...

Well, we all have our fantasies, but I am sure sentient turtles would have a much better grasp of Marxist theory then we do. :D

My back story for them is that the turtles sent on the Soviet moon missions entered a wormhole that brought them to a new world where they evolved into the lifeform you just saw.

On a different note, this game with the Zions escalated into the realm of conspiracy theories much faster then I thought...

Nice story though. Reminds me of a game I had a few months ago. I created a Roman Empire in the stars and concocted a story about some early Roman Army abducted by aliens and placed on a planet. Then they revolted and became an empire instead. The funny thing was that as I started exploring, I encountered an alien civilization and just beyond their borders there was Sol system in Early space age...
I deemed that civilization (which also uses the same phenotype you used for New Zion) as the one responsible for abducting my Romans... I then proceeded to conquer them... I still have the saves, I want to make an AAR at some point when I have the time...

They do have effect. While no relations are displayed, accept&scuess/reject&failure are still tracked and used for the various routines.

We went over this in a few dozen treads: What a Nation calls itself and what it actually is, are two entirely different things.
There is no point derailing this thread by starting that dicussion here again!
 
1st fleed is a rather awkward name for the Judean People's Front, isn't it?
I thought it was teh Front of Judean People? Or was it the Popular Front of Judea?

BRUH

On a side note, being an Empire whose backstory is entirely focused upon the cult of beauty, this feels so fitting.
I’ve never seen that event before. Is that part of a mod, or just really rare in the vanilla game?
