Racist Europe

Description

This is what I imagine a racist Europe would've looked like: a continent comprised of colossal nation-states founded on extreme ethnic chauvinism, each beset by war fuelled by hatreds both new and ancient, intent on destroying each other and either enslaving or eradicating anything they deem inferior to themselves. Countries sends millions of their own men and women to their deaths for meaningless, tiny scraps of land or undertake huge campaigns to unite their motherland with another country they see as their relatives, no matter other peoples live between them.

This what I believe our continent would look like if ruled by chest-pounding nationalists.

The medium green country is the All-Germanic Realm, a largely homogeneous nations populated almost exclusively by Germanic peoples. What few other ethnic groups remain are used as slave labour in the sweatshops of various industries, live in human zoos, as personal slaves among richer people or studied by scientists. Eugenics is widely practised to eliminate diseases and any other potential and unwanted genetic deviations. The majority religion is Germanic Paganism in its various forms. The only other religions allowed are Protestant Christianity and Reformed Christianity, though they are in the minority. Atheism and Agnosticism are also tolerated, but not Nihilism. All other religions are strictly prohibited. Their primary enemies are New Rome and their allies as well as Vielkoslavia. They look with a certain respect at and sometimes support the Finns, since they are a northern people, but look with disgust at their supposed relatives: the Turanians.

The light red giant of a country is the Vielkoslavia, a grand country with ports in both the Mediterranean and the Arctic Sea, spanning many hectares of land and the largest Indo-European country in the world by area. It's just as racist as its Germanic neighbour, though not as developed and they don't practice eugenics, nor do they pursue any industrial extermination of "lesser peoples". They do however hold slaves and have masses of them, though they have even larger armies. They focus of brute force and numbers, with legions of tanks, airplanes and infantry behind them. The main religion is Slavic Paganism and only Eastern Orthodoxy is tolerated, though it barely manages to survive and the number of adherents are below 10%. All other faiths are prohibited, including atheist ones. Their principal foes are the Germanians and Turanians. They also tussle with the Greeks at times.

That big cyan thing creeping in from the East is the Turanian Empire, one of the world's largest states that stretches from Hungarian Grác to Japanese Chiba, encompassing vast steppes and deserts. It's essentially all the worlds Ural-Altaic peoples united, plus the Koreans and the Japanese as well as some other so-called Paleo-Siberian peoples. The Turanians possess a military unlike any other, with top modern aircraft, tanks and ships and highly skilled infantry in massive numbers. Owing to their heritage, they've also retained and developed their cavalry, with which they're able to sweep into enemy armoured and infantry ranks with unmatched speed and cause extreme havoc. Their main religions is Tengriism in its various forms, though local Pagan religions like Ugric Paganism, Finnic Shamanism and Shintoism are also widely practised. The Turanians make no distinction based on religion and don't discriminate against other faiths. Conquered peoples are forced to intermingle with them, with their offsprings then regarded as half-Turanians, but given pretty much the same rights as other citizens except that they may only procreate with "pure" Turanians. They mostly war with the Greeks, the Semites, the Slavs and the Persians, as well as with their enemies in Asia. They're pretty much feared and hated by everybody except the Finns, whom they see as their relatives and whom they support in every way they can.

The ones painted in blood red are the Neo-Roman Commonwealth, the least racist of the great powers. the Commonwealth includes all Romance nations and of course places the Romance man at the top of the racial pyramid, but doesn't discriminate as much against lower peoples as the Germanians or the Slavs. Genocide is alien and slavery is illegal, though lower peoples are still faced with extensive discrimination in education, health-care and work. A lesser man can increase his stature by showing his loyalty and working hard for his country, after which he faces considerably less discrimination. Likewise, a Romance man might be degraded to the same level as a lesser man, mostly in cases of repeated felony. Their military is strong, even if small compared to the other great powers, and their air force is the most sophisticated in the world. They are able to protect their possessions in Dacia thanks only to their talented pilots and cutting edge aircraft. Homosexuality is allowed if not even encouraged and widely practised. The main religion is Roman Polytheism and this is seen as the best, though all other religions are free to work without restrictions, even Atheists. Monotheism however, even if tolerated, is seen as an incredibly stupid and simplistic faith. Their principal enemies are the Turanians, Germanians and Semites and while they're also traditionally the enemies of the Slavs, they've put their differences aside to focus on their common foes. While the country may be small, they rely on allies and puppet states for influence. The Basque Republic, Kingdom of Albania and Romani Protectorate are all puppet states of New Rome, while the Greek Hegemony and United Celtic Kingdoms are their traditional allies.

The light green country in the south east is the Greater Aryan Realm, a pan-Iranian empire under the ruled of a Great Shah. It reaches from Ossetia and Zazastan and surrounding lands to the River Indus and is one of the most populous countries in the world, with a huge and developed military that's not to be taken lightly. The Realm is just as racist its Germanian counterparts, with the exception that it doesn't practice extermination. Unlike the All-Germanic Realm, it's a hereditary monarchy and its main religion is Zoroastrianism, though all other faiths except the Abrahamic ones are tolerated. Its maine enemies are the Turanian and Semites. They also support their own little puppet state, a rump Armenia between then and Turania.

That ominous black thing in the south is the Holy Semitic Land, an absolute theocracy ruled by a religious council which mixes the teachings of Judaism, Christianity and Islam into what it calls Abrahamism, which is also the most widely practised religion. The Semites rule over large areas and have an over-abundance of valuable resources, a strong military and fanatic devotion to their faith and country. All non-Semites are seen as lesser people are automatically forced into slavery, while all non-Abrahamic Semites are forced to convert to one of the Abrahamic faiths or face death. They don't care much for the faiths of their slaves however, and as such they're allowed to believe in whatever they want. They especially believe white and black people to be disturbing miscolourations of the divine brown man, their skin hue the result of either difference in sunlight backwaters of the world or some horrifying disease. If not enslaved, they are summarily executed upon capture. They believe themselves to the the centre of the universe and their principal enemies are the Turanians, the Aryans and the Neo-Romans, as well as their African enemies. They also war with the Greeks over Crete and Cyprus.

The dark blue country is the Greek Hegemony, a middle sized independent state that with the help of New-Rome has not only succeeded in pushing back Turanian invaders, but also take Turanian held lands. An incredibly strict theocratic and racist state, any non-Greek is banished from the country and executed if not complying (except for citizens of New Rome and Albania, who are their allies). The only allowed religions are Greek Polytheism, Greek Orthodox Christianity and Greek Catholic Christianity. Atheism and Agnosticism is tolerated by the stated by their adherents are shunned and detested by society. All other religions are vigorously persecuted. Homosexuality is legal, but only acceptable in non-Christian areas. They have a small but potent military, which is armed and funded in part by New Rome. Their main enemies are the Turanians, with whom they almost constantly battle, and the Slavs, with whom they sometimes skirmish over Bulgaria and Macedonia, but with whom they've also made peace to jointly focus on the Turanians. Their allies are New Rome and their allies, including Albania, though they're only allied with the latter because New Rome says so. The Turanians, Slavs, Albanian and Semites hate their guts and the feeling is mutual and they look with some skepticism and grudging respect toward the Neo-Romans, whose faith they largely share, and who in turn regard them as hot headed and wayward little brothers.

The dark green country in Britannia is the United Celtic Kingdoms, a loose confederation of Celtic monarchies united by necessity against an encroaching Germania. Their military is capable of keeping their borders mostly intact, though they lack the resources to wage a fair war against Germania. They're allies of New Rome, not because they want to but because they have to, and are fiercely independent. Due to New Rome ceding part of Brittany to them however, they've come to develop somewhat warm relations with them. While the Celts have no concept of race, they still actively discriminate against anything they view as foreign. The majority religion is Celtic Paganism and almost no other form of religion is practices within its borders. There are strands of Roman Paganism, Germanic Paganism and Atheism within its borders, followed mostly by small minorities. Their only enemy is the arch-nemesis Germania, while New Rome supports them in various ways.

The light blue state up in the north is the Finno-Saamic Union, a federal republic comprising Finland, Karelia, Ingria, Estonia, Livonia and Saamiland. It's probably the least racist and most level-headed country in all of Europe: there's no institutional racism or discrimination in the country, though they do view all other peoples except the Balts and Neo-Romans as war-crazed barbarians. A foreigner will not face any discrimination from the state nor any hateful remarks from the people, but might have trouble integrating into society. Still, the Finno-Saami Union is probably the most welcoming country to foreigners on the continent. The most widely practised religions are various forms of Finnic and Saami Shamanism as well as Atheism and Agnosticism and although other faiths aren't persecuted, there simply aren't that many. Their traditional enemy is Vielkoslavia, with whom they fight over the Kola Peninsula, Karelia and Ingria. However, the Finno-Saami military, although small, is highly competent and very well equipped, being supported by both the All-Germanic Realm and the Turanian Empire. The latter has repeatedly tried to create a corridor to the Union through various wars against Vielkoslavia, though the Finno-Saamis have had little to no intention of joining the empire, since they don't wish to join such a authoritarian state and regard the theory of their ethnic relation to the Turanians as lofty and dubious at best. They have no formal allies, though both Germania and Turania support their efforts against Vielkoslavia. They also enjoy friendly relations with their southern neighbours, the Balts, even though they are closely tied to Vielkoslavia.

The dark red country below the recently mentioned country is the Baltic Republic, a rather small country whose independence hinges on the goodwill of Vielkoslavia. Their mildly racist, practising institutional ethnic discrimination, but don't believe in racism per se. They often regarded as a puppet of Vielkoslavia, with whom they share very warm relations, but they exercise a considerable degree of independence nonetheless. The majority religion is Baltic Paganism, with a middle sized Atheist and Agnostic following and small communities of Finnic Pagans and Slavic Pagans. They prohibit no religion. They are constantly in war with Germania over Prussia and are allied with Vielkoslavia against them, though the alliance only goes that far, since they don't want to come into conflict with their friends to the north. Vielkoslavia sees them as their little brothers and so feels obliged to protect them from Germania.

The purple country between Arya and Turania is the Armenian Apostolic State, a theocracy where every part of life in permeated by the Armenian Orthodox faith, which is the only allowed faith in the country, with the exception of Zoroastrianism, which is allowed due to their close relation with the Greater Aryan Realm. They see the Aryans as their protectors and distant relatives and the regard the Turanians as spawns of hell, needed to be fought at every turn at any cost. They're pretty much an Aryan puppet, even though they don't think so themselves.

That lighter purplish country between our-timeline France and Spain is the Basque Republic, a state allowed to exist thanks to the goodwill of the Neo-Roman Commonwealth, a fact for which the Basques are extremely grateful. They mainly adhere to either Roman Polytheism or Atheism. A militaristic but not racist country, the Basques are renowned throughout the continent for their battle prowess and a frequently seen serving alongside Neo-Roman and sometimes Celtic units against Germanians and Semites. They look upon the Neo-Romans and Celts with admiration and upon the Greeks with interest. Their ally is New Rome &. Co. and then enemies of New Rome are the enemies of the Basque.

That little brown thing between Greece and Vielkoslavia is the Kingdom of Albania, an old country that only exists because they're supported by New Rome. If not for the ad hoc peace between New Rome and Vielkoslavia, they would be constantly locked in battle with their northern neighbours if not swallowed by them. Now their forces are concentrated on the Turanians instead, armed and trained by Neo-Roman instructors. They hate both their neighbours, Greece and Vielkoslavia with a passion and would like nothing more than to see them erased from the face of the Earth, though they've accepted the grim reality that is the opposite: they're at risk of being obliterated by their strong neighbours. So they seek refuge in the arms of New Rome, who protect them from the Slavs with their armies and diplomats, and who hold the Greeks off by forcing them to be allies. They hate pretty much everybody they know (the Slavs, the Greeks and the Turanians) except New Rome, who're they protectors and best friends. They aren't very fond of their Romani neighbours either. As a result of their history, they follow various religions.

If you noticed that little dot between Albania and Vielkoslavia, cookies for you! That's the Romani Protectorate, an experimental political entity established by New Rome out of a province conquered from Vielkoslavia in an old war and one the Albanians had no interest of administering. The Romani Protectorate is a whose purpose is a social experiment to determine whether the Romani people can effectively govern themselves or are just a bunch of unwashed roving thieves and scoundrels. So far, it seems to have gone well, with the Romani having established a well functioning electoral monarchy after a decade of civil war. Their society is guided by their constitution and by their code of honour, which plays a huge role in their daily lives. They mostly adhere to Roman Polytheism, with a minority belonging to Hinduism, a result of a cultural revitalization movement. They have no allies or enemies, except for formally those of New Rome. Their only standing enemy force is a tiny but well equipped and well trained border guard, as well as a small Volunteer Corps that fights alongside the Neo-Romans and their allies. Their friends are New Rome, they're ambivalent towards Albania and their view on Vielkoslavia is either uncaring or wary.

There, that's about all of it. ^^

Reason nº 51 against ethnostates: the amount of border gore is unacceptable.
