@@lazerktulu2693 As for names not translating, it really depends on the situation. Take Belarus. The roots of the word are "white" and "Rus," the northern Slavs that settled Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, etc. We just call them Belarus, but the Germans call them Weißrussland, literally "White Rus Land." Montenegro doesn't call themselves that, they call themselves Crna Gora (pronounced Cherna Gora), which means Black Mountain.

This was so much FUN! Thanks for the bit of levity. Nice to know that some "wars" occur with minimal casualties, errr...injuries. In some utopian future all "wars" will be fought as you outlined.
Things may have changed since I left the Army eight months ago (49 years, enlisted, Officer, active duty, Reserve TPU, AGR, contractor and DAC), but China and Russia are considered "near-peer nations inimical to the interests of the US" because they don't have the ability to project power across the world like we do. Iran is described as a "regional power in opposition to US interests in the Middle East". US Army strategic, funding and doctrinal planning guidance states that the primary possible opponents are Russia, China and Iran. There are pieces of evidence of who the US civilian and military believe we are going to fight. Various exercises feature "OPFOR (Opposing Forces)" organized and equipped (real stuff and "VISMODs") along the lines of Russian and Chinese forces. The OPFOR at Ft. Irwin, the National Training Center was designated as a "Motor Rifle Regiment" and featured Soviet tactics, organization, doctrine and equipment. There was no attempt to hide who we believed we were going to fight between 1978-1992. Still, before this, OPFOR were generally other US units with cheap and easy VISMODs, a plastic cover over the issue helmet featuring a ridge over the top. But, really, I can remember when I was in the 82d ABN DIV in 1983-84 and we were wargaming intervening in Central America to execute regime change in Nicaragua.

So there is a series that I love to bits in which a small town in West Virginia is sent back in time to central Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years War. There is a sub-series within the larger series about a security consultancy company (Think Wells Fargo/detective agency/short-term private security that also works with military intelligence here and there.) Part of book one has the originating group of ex-1630s German mercenaries running through BootCamp for the army reserve, including some company-level field drills such as responding to an invasion of a village, trying to get a supply train to the battle while dealing with interference from both infantry and cavalry and finally defending a town against a larger force with artillery support. The training is quite interesting because it is in preparation for a conflict, which everyone expects within a year or more, against the neighboring Saxons but the training is all about building discipline, adaptive thinking, detecting and ejecting problem soldiers, and allowing cadets from the JROTC to get some field time with veterans and familiarise everyone with the new standard rifle. There were seemingly impossible missions or missions where the stated objectives were different from the actual objectives, etc. I found it extremely well written. The point I am trying to get to is I could see the future enemies in that world's training courses being named something like the Sax-Bimbacs. (A reference to a rather... problematic knight called Von Bimbac but referred to by his opponents as "his bimbo-ship" who tried to organize a destabilization effort to delegitimize the new-born liberal democracy growing in the heart of Germany. The over series is called The Ring of Fire. The sub-series is called NESS (After the agency's name) and the book is called A Matter of Security by Bjorn Hasseler.

In Switzerland military service is mandatory. We had some excercises with made up countries, but to us soldiers it was always obvious which country was the enemy. For example: "Northern country is being destabilized by a huge influx of immigrants". We all knew this was about Germany. In 2013 the army apparently still used real countries for their excercises. The excercise was about a revolutionary France invading Switzerland once again. The scenario got leaked to the press and it caused a minor diplomatic incident.
I was stationed in Limeria during the Great McDonalds War in the early 2000s for 8 years. After the first 4 years of the carnage I was stupid enough to be sweet talked into another 4 years by my Staff Sergeant. Two years into my second tour, the McDonalds near base was mercilessly struck with a supply shortage of Nuggets that stopped us dead in our tracks in our warpath going north into the country. Our malnutrition from our most major supply depot being cut was so severe I scraped my knee on the blacktop in an exhausted stupor. I was out of action for 2 months and during that I learned my best friend had throwed up and had to be picked up by his mom. I went crazy. I went AWOL and got out in time out for 10 minutes. I was deemed unfit to fight shortly after and sent hime. I'm still fighting for 100% disability to this day. War is hell.

U.S. is obsessed with war games where they face adversaries with a massive disadvantage. We tend to often handicap ourselves with preposterous rules.

I mean, if we only count native speakers then yeah, but if we count L2+ speakers, the CIA estimates the total to be 30,000-2,000,000
@@JacksonHill-j7l according to the UN earths population was 8,122,914,525 as of july 22 2024, that makes 2,000,000 speakers 0.0246% of humanity. thats exteremely few my guy
@@qhu3878 Mostly concentrated in the PRC, if I recall correctly.
@@qhu3878Cope, finvenko SOON
@@qhu3878it is tiny, but more than enough to supply some speakers to act in this kind of exercise. Only other conlangs that come close are Quenya (Tolkein’s High-Elvish), Klingon, and Toki Pona (an engineered language with only about 137 words)-none of which were created with the intention of use as an International Auxiliary Language (IAL), though Toki Pona has a lot of good features to base one on. Esperanto has a lot of issues that I think will keep it from ever realizing its goal of being a true IAL (especially the Romance-language bias it pretends it doesn’t have despite clear evidence to the contrary), but it IS the most successful to try so far.
Don't forget the Conch Republic, they rise up every year.
In Denmark, our opfor was "Norrthjutish Anarchist Revolution", short NAR. "Nar" means "idiot" or "fool" in Danish.
I remember reading a fake newspaper during training describing us as tight lipped about our mission. Really i think most people didn't exactly know what the 'mission' even was.
So just like real life?
We need to be careful to keep our strategic alliance with bajookieland or pineland might push a major offensive.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Things may have changed since I left the Army eight months ago (49 years, enlisted, Officer, active duty, Reserve TPU, AGR, contractor and DAC), but China and Russia are considered "near-peer nations inimical to the interests of the US" because they don't have the ability to project power across the world like we do. Iran is described as a "regional power in opposition to US interests in the Middle East". US Army strategic, funding and doctrinal planning guidance states that the primary possible opponents are Russia, China and Iran. There are pieces of evidence of who the US civilian and military believe we are going to fight. Various exercises feature "OPFOR (Opposing Forces)" organized and equipped (real stuff and "VISMODs") along the lines of Russian and Chinese forces. The OPFOR at Ft. Irwin, the National Training Center was designated as a "Motor Rifle Regiment" and featured Soviet tactics, organization, doctrine and equipment. There was no attempt to hide who we believed we were going to fight between 1978-1992. Still, before this, OPFOR were generally other US units with cheap and easy VISMODs, a plastic cover over the issue helmet featuring a ridge over the top. But, really, I can remember when I was in the 82d ABN DIV in 1983-84 and we were wargaming intervening in Central America to execute regime change in Nicaragua.
Thankfully you didn't had to. CIA got that covered with unorthodox means.

This is the coolest thing I ever heard about the U.S military. The U.S needs to put this in the ADs because this made me far more interested in joining than any military ad ever did. Of course I still am not going to of course

I cleaned weapons at Fort Lewis in 1971 during my holdover period after basic for the ROTC training. Nothing like three days hands on with every weapon in common use at the time to learn how to get them disassembled, cleaned properly oiled, reassembled and function checks completed for turn in.

So there is a series that I love to bits in which a small town in West Virginia is sent back in time to central Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years War. There is a sub-series within the larger series about a security consultancy company (Think Wells Fargo/detective agency/short-term private security that also works with military intelligence here and there.)
Part of book one has the originating group of ex-1630s German mercenaries running through BootCamp for the army reserve, including some company-level field drills such as responding to an invasion of a village, trying to get a supply train to the battle while dealing with interference from both infantry and cavalry and finally defending a town against a larger force with artillery support.
The training is quite interesting because it is in preparation for a conflict, which everyone expects within a year or more, against the neighboring Saxons but the training is all about building discipline, adaptive thinking, detecting and ejecting problem soldiers, and allowing cadets from the JROTC to get some field time with veterans and familiarise everyone with the new standard rifle.
There were seemingly impossible missions or missions where the stated objectives were different from the actual objectives, etc. I found it extremely well written.
The point I am trying to get to is I could see the future enemies in that world's training courses being named something like the Sax-Bimbacs. (A reference to a rather... problematic knight called Von Bimbac but referred to by his opponents as "his bimbo-ship" who tried to organize a destabilization effort to delegitimize the new-born liberal democracy growing in the heart of Germany.
The over series is called The Ring of Fire. The sub-series is called NESS (After the agency's name) and the book is called A Matter of Security by Bjorn Hasseler.

In Switzerland military service is mandatory. We had some excercises with made up countries, but to us soldiers it was always obvious which country was the enemy.
For example: "Northern country is being destabilized by a huge influx of immigrants". We all knew this was about Germany.
In 2013 the army apparently still used real countries for their excercises. The excercise was about a revolutionary France invading Switzerland once again. The scenario got leaked to the press and it caused a minor diplomatic incident.
I'm not concerned about Elbonia invading, though I am interested if their wacky small arms will be sold as surplus after.

I was stationed in Limeria during the Great McDonalds War in the early 2000s for 8 years. After the first 4 years of the carnage I was stupid enough to be sweet talked into another 4 years by my Staff Sergeant. Two years into my second tour, the McDonalds near base was mercilessly struck with a supply shortage of Nuggets that stopped us dead in our tracks in our warpath going north into the country. Our malnutrition from our most major supply depot being cut was so severe I scraped my knee on the blacktop in an exhausted stupor. I was out of action for 2 months and during that I learned my best friend had throwed up and had to be picked up by his mom. I went crazy. I went AWOL and got out in time out for 10 minutes. I was deemed unfit to fight shortly after and sent hime. I'm still fighting for 100% disability to this day. War is hell.
This is absolutely a new information for me!

U.S. is obsessed with war games where they face adversaries with a massive disadvantage. We tend to often handicap ourselves with preposterous rules. This is why the U.S. tends to lose to tiny allied countries in the war games. Not sure what the other country really learns in these exercises though.
It would be pretty cool if someone took all this fake country lore and made like a movie or video game based off it
