Bujan Fourfold

"**Bujan Fourfold**" is a TV series set in an alternate Bujan. It was filmed after the defeat of the Zavtranian Usurpation, preventing the island country from becoming a colony of a Terran empire.

It became a tragic prophecy that was fulfilled by the different Terran armies that occupied that fought over control of the entire island.

## Premise

This TV show depicts life in a Bujan that was defeated, yet partially-occupied and colonised by foreign fanatics from Terra. Each conquest of Bujan is known by the Terrans as a "Spring": a Russian Spring, an American Spring, a Chinese Spring, and an Arabian Spring.

All the Terrans who took over Bujan in these timelines were made of a mixture of Internet extremists, militants, and soldiers; the basis of the Maeranoi invaders from history. All of them saw Bujan not as a civilisation, but a future colony ripe for the taking. However, for the purpose of stimulation, the Terrans were limited to only a region, rather than the entire island.

## 1: Province of Zavtrana (Russian colony)

* Bujan was the first nation to be subjected to nuclear bombing, for the first time on Jerde in three thousand years. Further attempts by the Jerdiskar to repel the combine Zavtranian-Russian armies were repelled with heavy losses.
* The western provinces where the Zavtranian Usurpation began (known as the Zavtranian Revolution) became into a direct colony. The Governorate was more autonomous while a "spring cleaning" took place in the Province of Zavtrana, where the locals were exiled or killed so only the Zavtranians were left as an aristocracy.
* Heavy censorship, Z's everywhere, Zavtrana became very militarised. Rodnovery was replaced with Darroskei Rodnovery, where the worship of native gods were replaced with worshipping the Emperor of Zetrosia.
* The only advantages for non-Zavtranians and non-Russians were better space transport and immortality.

Relations with the rest of Bujan: hostile. The Zavtranians were very arrogant, using their history of being invaded to justify superiority and entitlement over the locals. If anyone got upset at them, the Zavtranians resort to whataboutism and accuse the Bujanski of a genocide. Yet this also led to bans on Zavtranian culture.

### Zavtranian culture

* Kalinka (a song)
* Soccer, hockey
* the Russian language (which sounded similar to Bujanski)
* claiming all speakers of said language as part of the "community", so they must be annexed too
* anything opposing the leaders and nationalism = "is an attack on Zavtranian people" (considered a very paranoid form of nationalism in Bujan)
* Z's and 8's everywhere - Z represents Zavtranian victory, and 8 represents immortality.
* An obsession with being immortal and forever young, traditional families, masculinity (instead of the Bujanski "gentleman"), and whataboutism
* keyboard warriors
* militarism

## 2: Weston State vs. Humanity (American colonies)

* Half of Bujan fell to American rule, but is divided between a conservative monotheist north, and a communist south.
* The Americans bombed northern Bujan to force the nation to surrender. The south was taken over by a different army who claimed to be "communist".
* North Bujan was notorious for its shootings, its prison-like temples, and pollution. In South Bujan, every city was divided by fandoms, and gang wars occurred every few weeks.

Relations with the rest of Bujan: hostile, though a bit friendly. North Bujan and South Bujan wanted better relations with the rest of the kingdom, only to demand it and wage terrorist attacks to force the kingdom to agree with their demands. It was the terrorist attacks that led to very hostile attitudes against the Divideds.

### North Bujanski culture

* Golf
* Guns
* Vulgarity and rudeness
* Obsession with "freedom of speech" and the police
* Corporatism
* Hatred of modern medicine and especially vaccinations
* Mysticism
* Elitism favouring White Americans - even the Bujanski, who look exactly like them, are second-class citizens known as "russkies".
* Demanding everyone to "be grateful to us", because their country invented some modern machinery *in their world*, not Jerde.

### South Bujanski culture

* Fursuits
* Fandoms
* Neon
* Videogames
* Shipping
* Colourful flags
* Hatred of religion
* Desecration of temples
* Bullying Bujanski for not being "liberated" (assimilated into American culture)

## 3: Xinwang Province (Chinese colony)

Relations with the rest of Bujan: hostile. The Xinwangian colonials saw themselves as the new rulers of the world, deserving of absolute obedience. Any complaints against them was claimed to "offend the feelings of the Empire's billions", repeating another Terran excuse.

## 4: Al-Safirah Wilayat (Arabian colony)

Considered the worst of the four timelines, this is when a militant group of keyboard warriors forced the Bujanski to become subjects of the Dark Banners. Their culture was erased, women were heavily restricted, many forms of entertainment reduced to only marches and sermons, and slavery was practiced.

Everyone suffered under the rule of their new aristocrats, who claimed that under the harsh principles of their Constitution, they bring the "stupid islanders" closer to their God.

Relations with the rest of Bujan: hostile. Every day, the chaplains called for war against unbelievers, to raise an army for a great crusade. The aristocrats considered every minor offense against them to be a persecution, even if it was directed at individuals and not on their foreign beliefs.

## Trivia

* This TV show was inspired by a picture where Ukraine being occupied by Russian militants in the east also depicted Western countries having breakaway colonies of Russia.
* Each of the provinces were based on these online subcultures:
	+ Zavtrana Province - Donetsk and Luhansk supporters, Russian nationalists and their supporters. The province of Zavtrana itself was based on Donetsk and Luhansk during Russian occupation.
	+ North Bujan - Trumpism, American conservatives and anti-vaxxers
	+ South Bujan - far-left netizens from America, American communists
	+ Xinwang - Chinese nationalists
	+ Al-Safirah - Islamist nationalists
