Dude does a lot of worldbuilding and has some neat concepts but god drat the Drakas sound like assholes to the max. I kind of wonder what would draw him to the idea of an evil super-South Africa taking over the world though. What do you think about it?

boy it sure is weird how many stories that guy writes about successful ethnofascist countries I like how he really explores every side of the issue. like most people would probably think "wow! a hyper-racist police state must be really evil and bad!" and he's like "sure, they're really evil and bad. but also... maybe sort of good in a way???" and it's like, mind blown dude!

There was an online "fanfic" rewrite of the Draka-series years ago by a bunch of milspergs to make the series more realistic. It had the Draka get bogged down in horrific Eastern Front style meatgrinders with the USSR and eventually ended with massed nuclear raids on the Domination's heartland by the USAAF. If I remember right, Stirling found out about it and got kinda pissy. Edit: Found it Vernii fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Mar 14, 2018 |

If I remember right it was mostly some complaints that they just didn't "get" the point of the series, which I guess was just to make the most horrifying dystopia he could think of and plausibility be damned.
