Yina, lady justice, Lira, and liras got together to talk about their accomplishments. Basically, the traveling of the old and the new reunite in one. In that regard, we could actually see that the main battle of the universe had yet to arrive. Knowing this, they had conquered their respective countries, except for Ananke. The other thing might be that the holiest of life could get to the farthest that he had predicted for the long run that they had witnessed. After all, they needed a new year to shine in the darkness of life. It looked like they needed a new offering of life and marriage proposal to the only chaos that could make Karl's heart shake violently.
The main path of life and death that they chased after was the ultimate crave that they had for passion of conquest that we could content with. At least, not for the moment. No one could actually shake in fear. For the moment, it was a volcanic passion in the veins that we could actually see in other sides of the spirit. The thing is, no one could actually be prepared for the only shape of the heart that could sense the hidden in the whole cosmos. So that said, they had to achieve something incredible.
As they gathered at Yinas new France, which had taken a new step toward supremacy This hypothetical state controls approximately 1.2 million square kilometers (about 60% of Napoleon's peak extent) that everyone could actually predict because of how the past had been witnessed and a population of over 150 million in the parameter along with the unity of the planet such as the granted quantity of the useless past that they had for a new future, blending historical grandeur with 2040s-level tech that no one had ever thought about. Well, to some extent, it's governed as a technocratic republic under an elected "First Consul" (a nod to Napoleon), with AI-augmented decision-making to prevent the overreach of old. However, the economy thrives on green fusion energy, quantum computing exports that no one could actually see in the main lapsus of what we could call the personal and the impersonal, and a universal basic innovation stipend, ensuring no citizen idles while ideas flourish for what was normal and heard in the history of those who could come to hear them.
For a visual of its borders that we had changed in the initial systems according to the use —core France expanded eastward and northward, hugging the Rhine and Alps while stopping short of the Pyrenees that napoleon had once crossed — just imagine a map where the empire's azure fields dominate from Lisbon's shadow to Warsaw's gates or perhaps it was not normal to have the unity of what we could see for the new epoch, but without the red stains of Iberian conquest. As far as I am concerned, this was something that Karl had not predicted. After all, she was his first wife. (In reality, this echoes 1812 maps but with modern overlays for tech hubs that the meta modern engineer would actually doubt)
Rooted in the Napoleonic triad—Liberté (personal agency via universal neural interfaces for direct democracy votes that everyone could exercise under the agreement of the super constitution that we could actually have over others), Égalité (genetic equity through CRISPR clinics erasing hereditary divides that were given over all the new France and the empire), Fraternité (pan-European citizenship with mandatory cross-department exchanges that was literally given as a value of life for them to have what it could be in the future )—but supercharged for 2026. The updated Code Néron (a quantum-secured blockchain version of the Napoleonic Code) enforces:
Merit over Birth: Promotions via gamified skill trees; no nepotism, detected by lie-detector implants.
Secular Humanism: State atheism optional, but mandatory "empathy simulations" in VR to foster unity.
Expansionist Pragmatism: Conquest only if AI models predict 80%+ net gain in human flourishing; current focus is "soft power" via cultural exports like adaptive-language operas.
Sustainability Oath: All citizens pledge carbon neutrality, enforced by personal eco-scores tied to social credits.
