have you heard of the rumors that Kevin Loibl, the gunman who shot Lorde dead in a concert in Orlando on June 11, had another target in mind before aiming his gun at Lorde, who tried to hug him and was shot dead by him but he was tackled and arrested by police afterwards? No i have not but i am not interested in these kind of things, you do not have breaking news on the major news channels every time a regular person is killed in a shooting. Okay, but Lorde was a prominent and talented young artist who wrote and sang songs like "Royals" and "Team" and it is a shame that a deranged fan shot her dead in a concert lately. Also, I am going to watch Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, and Christina Grimmie perform a concert in Manila tomorrow night and I also also have VIP tickets for me and a friend for the meet and greet. (OOC: I have never actually been to a concert, but for the purposes of the DBRP, let's say I have) Finally, what do you think would happen to the ASU when Muammar Gaddafi dies? |

There will be a power struggle but as the ASU has been so long around i think it will end with with a new head of government in charge who like Muammar Gaddafi will kill those who where opposing him and then it will be life as usual in the ASU. |

I hope that someone like Muhammad ElBaradei succeeds to the head of the ASU and that the ASU would liberalize like the Federation of Workers' Republics. Also, so, did you read any of the eyewitness accounts of 5/24 and what do you think of them? |

No i have not read anything about the eyewitness accounts of 5/24 but i do not doubt there will be plenty of documentary going to be made where they tell their stories. |

Yea, there would probably be many documentaries about 5/24 and I wouldn't be surprised if they also interview the two surviving singers in the concert attack as well for the documentaries. Also, what do you think of my view that China's homogenous nature is an advantage it has over India?

I think as long as China remains a democratic imperial monarchy who mange to unite all the people they will have no problem rising to world status. |

Okay, so, in 5/24, what factors do you think determined if you survived or if you died in the terrorist attack? And BTW, I think that "A Hohenzollern Germany" having Islamic Fundamentalism replace left-wing Arab Nationalism as the main ideology of Middle Eastern anger against the West is quite implausible along with the Lebanese Civil War as the Republic of Lebanon has a reputation as the "Switzerland of the Middle East" with a system of federalism based on the Swiss model and a thriving economy.

And do not forget the good relation thet have with Israel, together they are a good counter to the ASU. |

Is it me or is the presence of the People's Republic of Burma a boon for Pop Culture as Burma provides a good captain-ersatz for the FWR as the Federation of Workers Republics liberalizes and becomes a market for pop culture from Russia, Germany, America, China, and Japan? And BTW, why do you think do Koreans have such a high view of Russia? Is it because the Russians were the ones who liberated Korea from Japan after WW2?

Of course the 2nd Empire of Korea has never forgotten how the Empire Russia during the failed Russia-Japanese war of 1905 tried to defend Korea, when the had the change the Empire of Russia jumped in to have their revenge and as a result they reinstated after 40 years of being under Japanese rule the imperial Korea family to power when the 2nd Empire of Korea was proclaimed, it also helped that Russia had the full backing and support of the Empire of China. |

Yea, a recent poll of Koreans indicate that over 83% of Koreans see Russia in a positive light and BTW, what party do you think would win the July 11 elections in China? Liu Xiaobo's Kuomintang, Xi Jinping's Chinese Socialist Party, or Wang Youcai's Liberal Party? The latest polls indicate the KMT would win 37% of the seats, the Socialists would win 33% of the seats while the Liberals would win 21% seats. Is it possible that the Liberals, along with Tibetan, Uighur, and Mongolian regionalist parties could decide whether the KMT or thr Socialists would form the next government? Also, my heart goes out to the Canadian singer Justin Bieber who has just been shot dead in a concert in Seattle even though I don't like his singing and I think that the trio performing in Manila soon and I will be there will probably start their concert by dedicating memorializing Justin Bieber.

IS the KMT not the party that want to limit the power of the emperor to just a symbolic function. |

Yes, and that is one of the few things that they agree with the Socialist Party while the Liberals are okay with the Emperor having quite strong powers as long as they are largely theoretical and apply in "national emergencies". |

If the KMT wanted they would have the emperor removed from power and created a Republic of China. |

The timeline "A Hohenzollern Germany" creates a "perfect storm" of factors for such a Chinese Republic to arise starting with the 1894-1895 Sino-Japanese war being a Japanese victory as opposed to the draw it was as Cixi doesn't die in 1891 and Emperor Guangxu, unlike in OTL, isn't able to reform the Chinese state with his "Hundred Day Reformation" of 1898, analogous to his "Great Reformation" historically being squashed by conservative nobles led by Empress Cixi and the Boxers, unlike in our world, aren't nipped in the bud in 1899 and the resulting "Eight-Nation Intervention" leads to China being humiliated in the "Boxer Protocols", which both discredit the Qing dynasty and along with the fact Guangxu is poisoned when Cixi dies instead of dying of natural causes in 1933, ensures that Chinese modernizers turn to a Republic as the solution to China's bad years instead of the liberal constitutional monarchy they viewed as the solution to China's problems.
