Can always start a side-hate against Austrovik or Scantarbia over their environmentalist trade war

tbh it's mostly going to be an aquascape, if I add fish they'll be small and simple guys who will fertilize the plants
def adding shrimp and snails later though

Seahound-class

A fusion between an aircraft carrier and a submarine.
Veteran of the IW, the true leviathan of the seas.


The Seahound-class is a Scantarbian large ocean-going submarine aircraft carrier, built by Frederich-Setiawan-Alexei Shipyards developed from the Sealion-class submarines. The Seahound-class, as a submarine aircraft carrier, is able to carry three Enterprise CA4 Skua aircraft underwater to their destination. The submarines were designed to surface, launch their planes, then quickly dive again before they were discovered. For close-range combat, the submarine is also equipped with fourteen 610mm torpedoes that could be launched from the ten torpedo tubes (eight forward, two aft) available onboard the submarine. Similar to the Sealion-class, these submarines also have a range of one-and-a-half times around the world.

To provide strength and stability for the large on-deck aircraft hangar, the cross-section of its pressure hull had a unique figure-of-eight shape. Another unique feature of the submarine is its twin conning tower, each was offset to both left and right of the submarine to allow the hangar to be put along the submarine's centerline. The twin conning tower was chosen after studying scale-model of the submarine, the model with a single conning tower offset to either left or right of the submarine will instead make the submarine unable to follow a straight course. Located approximately amidships on the top deck was a cylindrical watertight aircraft hangar, 34 m long and 3.5 m in diameter. The outer access door could be opened hydraulically from within or manually from the outside by turning a large hand-wheel connected to a rack and spur gear. The door was made waterproof with a 51-millimeter-thick rubber gasket. There is also a compressed-air catapult on the forward deck to launch the seaplane into the sky and a crane to hoist the plane back into the deck of the submarine.

Secondary armament was provided by one 140 mm deck guns with 160 rounds total positioned aft of the ship behind the hangar. To defend against aircrafts the submarine was armed with five 37 mm dual-mounted autocannons, one on each conning tower and three on top of the hangar, two on the aft and one on the front of the conning tower. The left tower is the one mounting most of the equipment, mounting two periscopes. The left tower comes equipped with two types of radar, the SV, a directional air-search radar capable to provide bearing and range of the target connected to the boat's CIC as well as IFF capability. The other is the SJ radar, a directional surface-and-air search radar mounted in a retractable mast, enabling the submarine to survey its surroundings while submerged. The submarine is also equipped with as two snorkels; one on the rear for the engine and one on the right tower for replenishing on-board oxygen. To enhance the stealth and survivability of the submarine it is equipped with anechoic tiles and each submarine went through a degaussing process prior to its commission. To aid with maneuvering the large submarine, it is also not only equipped with a large rudder but also a pair of additional rudders on the front and rear dive plane.

Quite whining, sir. You one got invaded like once compared to what happened to Domanania or San Montagna or ID :)

Why do you think we built that commie rail line right through San Montagna to connect us?

I mean there was that whole refugee scandal, so the people aren't fond of you, but the gov is neutral.

so right now it's pretty simple. mostly anubias with whatever fake driftwood I could find, planning on really filling it up front to back with grasses in the front and the back and sides going up all the way. My plan is to have a high enough plant to animal ratio that I can do small water changes. I also think this will let the platies (maybe guppies too) and the various types of shrimp and snails breed

I wish I could find good driftwood for sale around where I lived. I hate the idea of ordering online because there's no guarantee you get what you want or can really visualize it ahead of time (and it's expensive, too!). The fake stuff doesn't scratch the itch I've got and I'm already thinking about rescaping.

I currently have a decent variety of plants in my 29g [a couple dwarf aquarium lilies, crypt luteas, java ferns, bunch of water sprite - planted and floating, and some vallisneria]. The Val is going absolutely mental and has spread runners out super far, but I need to uproot and rearrange them towards the back where they belong. I can't get rid of them because they're super healthy and long but they're already blocking sight lines and I'm not done yet lol.

Still not sure what I want to stock in it right now. The heater I got with the tank was busted out of the packaging so it's been sitting at an ambient ~68 since I set up the tank. Subtropical would be nice but I can't find any bottom dwellers that are comfortable in that temp range. I got a couple hitchhiker snails from the my most recent plant order that just now popped up in my tank, so I have them at least

Okay, I'm thinking of rewriting my early history entirely (and actually writing one down in the first place.)

Who would be willing to colonize my lands until they would be given Dominion status, then independence around the 1890s?

I got lucky with a decent piece of driftwood, I also have a fake rock which looks... fine, and I might drill some holes in it and grow things in/on it. I have val in the mail, I'm going to put it in the back corners to form a curtain. I'm lowkey hoping for some hitchhiker snails to show up, would add some spice to things rn. And if that gets bad, assassin snail time.

bc of where I live the ambient room temperature is 75-78, so I have a heater but I'm not even sure if it's necessary for what I want to do

Is this... activity?

I'm not entirely sure what kind of hitchhiker snail I got is.... It's small enough since it's recently hatched that I'm not sure if it's a bladder snail or a regular pond snail. Where do you get your plants?

I got some nice looking fake ornaments that I stuffed my java ferns and little baby ferns in the cracks of, but I'd kill for a really good branch. I don't have anything that really fills in the middle of the tank because my deco pieces are too thick that it would cut down on swim space. A large stick-y driftwood piece would give the impression of fullness I want but not actually take up a ton of space.

Last night I watched a so-terrible-it's-good movie starring Nicolas Cage called "The Humanity Bureau." Truly a baffling experience.

I also saw "the Babysitter," which is supposedly a terrible movie but I enjoyed it. It was edited kinda weird and there were points where scenes felt stretched out to make it feature-length, but it was still a good movie of the kind that you watch when you wanna see suspense and watch mindless stuff.

I got my plants more or less as impulse buys at petsmart when I was grabbing the tank (my local fish store... didn't sell tanks so I guess I won't be seeing them for a few weeks). They were a bit expensive for what they were but quite healthy so I'll take it. The others I'm getting from amazon vendors, they all have great reviews so I guess it's safe.
