History

See also: History of Orioni

1. Classical orioni
   1. Can I borrow anything from Anitta (king)?
   2. Re-use the many ages of Elam#Elamite Empire as inspiration for my Medani Empire.
   3. Opet Festival as explanation of divine royalty
   4. Put a dubious find of Orinese coins in either Western Argis or Alharu. See: Carthaginian coins of Corvo.
   5. Write my own version of the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor.
2. Insular Orioni
   1. During the insular era, introduce some economic cycles, as described in The Great Wave (book).
   2. 424 BCE — Borrow Classical history of Dion from Dion, Pieria (°424 BCE).
   3. The Pearl Road needs some ruling council system. Look at the Hanseatic League. I require some form of tax ruling to justify the later collection of back taxes, and formation of colonial empire. See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR3IhT-XvsE&t=292s
   4. Follow-up to “Empress Yomiro sails into the Oriental Ocean with 1,000 ships.” Reverse the Mallian campaign (northwards, over water). Look to Carchemish for a final confrontation.
   5. 137 (number) — Something happens, related to the grand unified theory.
3. 

   Drawing by St. Hildegarde of "Gott, Kosmos und Menschheit“ from Scivias, Table 4. (Looks similar to the Flag of Orioni.)
   1100s — Have !Saint Hildegarde (1098-1179) flee to Orioni, so she can be more independent. This fits into the post-war Restoration period (~12th Century).
4. Colonial Orioni
   1. 1300s — Use of !Catalan Company mercenaries to police the vast colonial assets (~14th Century).
   2. 1600s+ — Vassals send tribute in the form of a golden tree (see Bunga mas). Can be larger or more frequent to punish bad vassals.
   3. Quote of some imperialist admiral: "(Political) power comes from the barrel of a cannon. It must always be the Orinese who aim the cannons."
   4. See if I can re-use the story of these female monarchs for any of my empresses: Nest ferch Rhys (1085-1136), Empress Matilda (1102-1167), Razia Sultana unknown-1240).
   5. Piracy
      1. How about some pirates that come and kidnap people? Either Orinese in Volsci, or Buranians in Orioni.
      2. 1400s — Employ a successful version of the !Victual Brothers as my explanation for pirate cooperation during the Civil War, and Buran influences afterwards.
      3. Sayyida al Hurra (1485-1561). Moroccan privateer leader. Became the wife of a Sultan. Considered to be “one of the most important female figures of the Islamic West in the modern age.” --> Use as a pirate leader who raided the East-Alharun coast in service of Orioni.
      4. 1700s — Gotta have Black Caesar (pirate) from Azania.
      5. 1800s — How about Zheng Yi Sao from Ide Jima?
   6. 1800s: Need some Treaty ports.
5. Modern Orioni
   1. Stick the Pathé logo on some old news photograph or film reel.

Politics

1. Last Sibiseba election: https://iiwiki.us/wiki/2020_Azmaran_legislative_election
2. Foreign relations of Orioni
3. Do something with Synarchism (rule by a secret elite).
4. Revisit the idea of Project O-Mega, with inspiration from the Megali Idea.

3. Setup Vali(s) Group.
4. Setup Buran Group as a private military company to sabotage Volsci (see fake Turan Group, supported by Wagner).
5. Fix military ranks. — Orioni (talk) 19:54, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
6. 'Rumbler' aeroplane (~rumblr).
7. How to Rebuild the Navy, after the Thalassan War. https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2022/january/getting-back-top-how-rebuild-navy
8. I really like the SAAB aircraft design. Use the Saab 35 Draken (1960-2005), Saab 37 Viggen (1971-2007), Saab JAS 39 Gripen (1996–present). In the future, maybe get the Korean KF-21?
9. Replace my pictures of the F-16 with F-16XL.
10. The YF-23 is a nice alternative to the F22 and F35.
11. Replace Adenhold Bruiser with the equally swole Andika Perkasa. Cool picture on Reddit: https://redd.it/sx1k7t
12. Develop a big rocket called Sharur (mythological weapon).
