Guns Vs Fae
The latter in an odd twist actually had preptime and proceed to conquer the world from the humans
Apparently, going by an in-universe seer, it's gonna be a LONG time before humanity gains it's independence. Lots of guerilla warfare in the meanwhile
... Ok, and? Do you know how many gangs have guns there?
... How?
Magic absolutely shitstomps tech in a lot of settings.
Pentex is pure wyrm, I mean they have some corrupted gaian, wyld, and weaver spirits but mostly just wyrm. And most of what they do is just magic.
Oh no, those aren't stats. Those are just things they can do. By lore. The stats actually underplay them so you can have some level of challenge in the fights against things like hunters and pentex goons using regular mortal weapons.
Is there a different San Marino I wasn't told about?
It has done something greater empires couldn't. It survived to watch history unfold.
This one? Small land locked country near Italy? I'll admittedly give it points for being the oldest Constitutional Republic, but it hasn't actually done anything impressive.
Can't be invaded if no one knows you exist.

Just because they don't care, doesn't mean they don't know.
Watching shit happen from the sidelines is literally, factually, the opposite of Main Protagonist stuff.
Only for Heroic Narratives. But our world isn't a heroic narrative.
That is the logic of a loser. The Victor should talk about how the world should be not how it is.
That's the logic of an armchair philosopher...or a weeb. The world is as it is, and all we can do is follow our roles.
I dunno.
Nope, travel for the sake of stealing other people's land and settle to escape religious persecution (or the victims of YOUR religious persecution). America was made by the villains of an alien invasion film...or rather, the other way around.
Yeah, sure. "Your" backyard.
Nah, more like enter a conflict you really shouldn't have and directly lead to the world going properly insane.
No, I'll give you that one. WW2 was your aristeia.
Heh. Friendship.....sure.
Not how heroic narratives work. The USSR doesn't lose after some grand battle, it just collapses because it was always just a paper tiger.
Aizen canonically sits in a chair for most of it.
And this is why Britain doesn't matter anymore.
Nah, we beat them where it counted, in the hearts and minds of the people. That's why they collapsed. Well, that and the inherit failures and evil of Communism.
