Girl Genius/YMMV: Difference between revisions

'''Lucrezia:''' Oh, but it ''could'' be! Let me ''help'' you! (seductively) ''Listen'' to me. How many lives have you sacrificed to keep the peace of your Empire? Sacrifice just two more - ''only these two'' - and we can have a ''true'' peace. ''Together''.}}

* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: Actual science is basically dead, which has effectively halted theoretical study, which means that the development of atomic energy, computers, and decent aircraft is not going to happen. Why bother working on fruitless theories that might become something much later when you can have awesome stuff now? Societal progress has (except for a few things such as the role of women and racism) also basically halted, with most of Europe frozen in the Victorian era. Democracy is unheard of, and the Spark nobility often rule with an iron fist. The distribution of wealth is still largely at the top, with no sort of working-class consumer society developing. Oh, and there are monsters, diseases and devices that will kill you. This is, of course, covered up with a coating of awesome steampunk machines, a noble, chivalric attitude, and cheerful plays and books. The people seem mostly content.

* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Jägers are a ''race'' of [[Crazy Awesome]] individuals.
