The Cylinder

The Cylinder is the world on which the Battle Royale takes place. Not much is known about the cylinder, but many hypotheses have been put forward, but none have yet been proven.

## The Outside Cylinder Belief

The most commonly held belief on the nature of the BR world, is that it takes place on the large, outside face of a cylinder drifting through space. The main question sprung from this belief is 'What's at the poles?', a question that has yet to be answered.

## The O'Neill Cylinder Hypothesis

First proposed by philosopher u/Synonymous\_Howard, the O'Neill Cylinder provides artificial gravity by rotating and has it's surface on the inside with open ends, providing a solution to the mystery of the poles.

They quoted the improbability of gravitational variation to support this hypothesis, and others have suggested that this type of world could have helped the Finnish take over The Mughal Empire.

The hypothesis has also led to more questions about the nature of the Babylonian observers, especially, if there had been other inhabitants to the cylinder, what they did to them.

Nuking of Sydney

The nuking of sydney was a crucial event in the history of the battle royale. It shocked the world. It was the first nuclear blast to ever detonate inside a large city, and the first ever tactical nuclear explosion ever. It killed thousands of virtual people, and made the surrounding mountains glow.

However, this was not an act of terrorism, or anything like that. The Australians had attacked the Maori cities, ships, and units. It was for the porpose of teaching the Australians a good lesson, and to defend themselves from the imminent threat. To some, they are seen as villains, but to us, they are ***HEROES.***

World War 2

World War 2 is a current event happening, starting in part 64, it so far has 3 parts to it, with the possibility of more to come.

## Pre-World War

The start of WWII is hard to place, but for simplicity, we will say that is began with the Persian Liberation of Israel in Gaza in 1546 CE, proir to wich, the world mainly had it's focus on  Asia, where Korea was making inroads into Mongolia, Yakutia was bombing Osaka, the Australia-Vietnan war was still at the Borneo-Philippine front, and, probably most importantly, Persia was at war with Sparta and Vietnam.

This of course caused Persia, in a final act of desperation to become memorable, to liberate Gaza and Artashat to their original founders, reviving Israel.

According to reports at the time, the Boers then responded to David's call for a crusade to liberate Jerusalem (a misson that was soon forgotten as the war raged on), bringing Iceland along with them in the initial attack in 1548 CE.

Meanwhile in South America, the Brazilians launched yet another attack on Chile, joining the Australians in a war that did not see any action until 1556 CE when the Australian navy seized control of Santiago de Chile.

## Part 1: 1558 CE - CE

The war on Sparta was progressing, with the loss of Utique and Carthage to the Boers, and Rome to Iceland.
Chile (Pinochet)

The 2nd Kamchatkan War

The 2nd Kamchatkan War took place between 920 BC and , between Yakutia and the Inuit.

 Yakutia

Ekeuhnick, eager to expand his Asian territories declares war on the Yakutian chief, Tygyn Darkhan, in 920 BC. At the beginning of the war, the Yakutian fleet is in the Okhotsk Sea, while the Inuit two times bigger fleet is resting near the Bering Strait.

Igloolik, the biggest Inuit city in the region, defending the canal between the Okhotsk Sea and the Anadyr Gulf, is attacked in 890 BC, but is quickly defended.

Yakutian frigates advance on the Arctic Ocean and reach the Inuit territory in 870 BC. Ikaluktutiak is attacked ten years later. The Yakuts seem to be winning, but the Inuit forces are coming.

Yakutia takes Sendai (eastward from Sakhalin) in 840 BC. Inuits recapture the city in 820 BC. Ikaluktiak and Wotjulum (city founded upon the ruins of Japanese Wakayama) are being attacked.

Wotjulum is taken by Yakutia in 780 BC, and Sendai next. However, at this stage, there are no more Yakutian ships, and the Ice Fleet has arrived. The Inuit ships take back Sendai and Wotjulum. Then occurs a long, long stalemate...

In 670 BC begins the naval battle of Taloyoak.
