With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Attention Counting]

A treaty federation built on consensus where the states are independent nations? I don't know, the American Union? AU?

The AU abbreviation refers (or at least, previously referred) to Australia. I'm not sure how our friends from the land down under are doing but let's keep it open for them. Why not just add an "s" at the end? Something like... the American Union State?

We marched north as traitors, and came home as kings! Every man a king!

Spoiler: American Union State

Kaiserreich was a balm to my soul. I racked up 10,000 hours in the mod over the years.

Limit us to things made before the Equalizing Plague.

Should all be 'Equalising' I think, or maybe 'Equalizing'.

I think both are acceptable in British spelling. 'z' is used in the Oxford standard, chosen to conform to a the Greek suffix used in the root word. 's' is used in some other British dictionaries and style guides. I couldn't say which is more common.

I would note that the term itself used in this fic has been inconsistent, let alone the spelling. It's possible that Thanagarians have different ways of referring to it depending on the background of the speaker, similar to how different generations use The Great War vs. The First World War vs. World War I to refer to the same historical event, even within the same geographic and linguistic background in our world. I mean, given that the people using the terms are not even all from the same continuity or planet, some variation would not be surprising, though Paul has a habit of picking a name for something and being consistent with it even when it would be more socially acceptable to shift terms dependent on context, and this case seems to be an exception.

He can just pirate their content. What are they going to do? But can't Earth just use Mars content instead? They do seem to be psychologically similar enough to love Earth content.

Most martian stuff would have a telepathic component that would require martian biotech to play it back properly.
Do the Tamaranians still have any of their media archives stashed away?
