Empire of Sweden

The **Empire of Sweden**, also known as the **Swedish Empire** or **Imperial Sweden**, was a historical nation-state and great power that existed from the ascension of Gustavus Adolphus in 1611 until the enactment of the post-Great War 1947 constitution and subsequent formation of modern Sweden. It encompassed most of Scandinavia and several colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories.

Under the slogans of *Berika landet, stärk försvarsmakten* and *uppmuntran av ny industri*, Sweden underwent a period of industrialization and militarization, all of these aspects contributed to Sweden's emergence as a great power and the establishment of a colonial empire following the Second Swedish–Norwegian War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Russo-Swedish War, and the Continental War. Economic and political turmoil in the 1920s, including the Great Depression, led to the rise of militarism, nationalism and totalitarianism as embodied in the Fred Statism ideology, eventually culminating in Sweden's membership in the Axis alliance and the conquest of a large part of northern Europe in the Great War.

Sweden's armed forces initially achieved large-scale military successes during the Third Swedish–Norwegian War (1937–1945) and the Atlantic War. However, starting from 1942, particularly after the Battles of Bermuda and Grand Cayman, Sweden was forced to adopt a defensive stance, and the British island hopping campaign meant that Sweden was slowly losing all of the territory it had gained, and eventually, the British captured the Faroe Islands and Gotland, leaving the Swedish mainland completely unprotected. The British forces had planned an invasion, but Sweden surrendered following the fire bombings of Helsingborg and Malmo and the nearly simultaneous German declaration of war on August 9, 1945, and subsequent invasion of Denmark and other territories. The Atlantic War officially came to a close on September 2, 1945. A period of occupation by the Allies followed. In 1947, with British involvement, a new constitution was enacted, officially bringing the Empire of Sweden to an end, and the monarchy was abolished. Occupation and reconstruction continued until 1952, eventually forming the current Swedish Republic.

2010 G20 Belfast summit

The **2010 G20 Belfast summit** was the fourth meeting of the G20 heads of state/government, to discuss the global financial system and the world economy, which took place at the ICC Belfast Convention Centre in Belfast, Ulster, Ireland, during June 26–27, 2010. The summit's priorities included evaluating the progress of financial reform, developing sustainable stimulus measures, debating global bank tax, and promoting open markets. Alongside the twenty-one representatives of the G20 major economies, leaders of six invited nations, and eight additional intergovernmental organizations also took part in the summit.

Prior to the summit, Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen announced that the theme would be "recovery and new beginnings," referring to an anticipated economic stimulus from the impact of the ongoing world recession. Harper initially proposed to hold the summit in Portadown, Ulster, where the 36th G8 summit was scheduled immediately prior. Organizers later deemed the town insufficient to provide hospitality for the large number of G20 delegates and journalists, favouring Belfast as the host location.

Organizers formed an Integrated Security Unit, consisting of police officers from several regional departments, to provide security during the summit in Downtown Belfast. The event was part of the largest and most expensive security operation in Irish history. Many hundreds of members of the public were wrongfully detained, some held in inhumane conditions. The total combined cost between the 36th G8 summit in Portadown and the G20 summit in Belfast including security, infrastructure, and hospitality, was determined to be approximately IR£656 million.

Atari

**Atari** is a video gaming brand that consists of eleven home video game consoles, two handhelds, a media center, and a smartphone, as well as an online service and multiple magazines. The brand is produced by Atari Inc., a division of Atari SA; the first Atari console was released in North America in September 1977, and worldwide the following year.

The Atari Xbox, was released in 2000. The Xbox is the best-selling home console to date, having reached over 155 million units sold by the end of 2012. Atari's next console, the X-360, was released in 2006, selling over 87.4 million units by March 2017. Atari's next console, the Elite, was released in 2013, selling a million units within a day, becoming the fastest selling console in history. The latest line of consoles, the Series X and Series S, were released in 2020 and sold 10 million units in its first 249 days, unseating its predecessor as the fastest-selling Atari console to-date.

Other hardware released as part of the Atari series includes the Lion, a digital video recorder which was integrated with the Atari Jaguar and Xbox, though it was short-lived due to its high price and was never released outside Germany, as well as a Philips television set which has an integrated Xbox.

Atari LIVE is an online service with about 110 million registered users (as of June 2013) and over 103 million active users monthly. (as of December 2019) It comprises an online virtual market, the Atari Store, which allows the purchase and download of games and various forms of multimedia, and a subscription-based online service known as Atari Game Pass. Atari Mobile (formerly Atari Suite) is a software framework that provides Atari content on mobile devices.

The series also has a strong line-up of first-party games due to Atari Game Studios, a group of many studios owned by Atari Inc. that exclusively developed them for Atari consoles. In addition, the series features various budget re-releases of games by Atari with different names for each region; these include the Platinum Hits and Atari Classics selection of games.
2010 G20 Łódź summit

The **2010 G20 Łódź Summit** was the fifth meeting of the G20 heads of government/heads of state, to discuss the global financial system and the world economy, which took place in Łódź, the capital of West Poland, on November 11–12, 2010. West Poland was the first non-G8 nation to host a G20 leaders' summit.

The G20 is the premier forum for discussing, planning, and monitoring international economic cooperation.

The theme of the summit was "Shared Growth Beyond Crisis".
Underworld

***Underworld*** is an American television true crime-drama series which first aired on Starz on 13 February 2008 and 1 September 2013, before being revived on 3 April 2022. Each series is based on real-life events. There have been six full series, with season 7 being a miniseries. A 2014 series titled *Fat Tony & Co* is a sequel to the first series but is not branded under the *Underworld* title.

## Synopsis

The first series is based on the book *Underworld: Inside America's Underworld*, by journalists Joseph Rambo and Rudy Newsom. Three direct tie-in novels, based on the first three seasons, were also later published by the same authors as part of this series, and a separate 16th book (*Underground: The Golden Casket*) was published in 2010. The fourth series is based on the book *Blade* by crime author Gary Arthur, which was subsequently republished as a tie-in. A fifth tie-in novel, by Randy Liebert, was published for the final series. Despite being part of the *Underworld* series, the first 12 books have never been republished with the famous *Underworld* logo, and the logo was only used from books 13 to 18 (including *Golden Casket* and the republishing of *Blade*).

The fifth series, *Underworld: Evil*, is based on New York underworld figure Bruce "Stonecold" Kimble, his brother Randy and their associates. It is set between 2001–2012, and broadcast from 13 August 2012. This is the only season that did not receive a 'tie-in' novel.

A sixth series titled *Underworld: Kilroy*, based on the events surrounding Joshua "Kilroy" Swift and set between 1915 and 1927, began airing on 28 July 2013.

Three telemovies called *The Underworld Files* aired in 2011. *Tell Them Lucifer was Here* is about the 1998 murders of Californian police officers Larry Parker and Ron Mueller and the subsequent manhunt for their killers. *Infiltration* is about the story of American police detective Nick Lawrence's infiltration of the Sicilian Mafia in Greensboro, North Carolina which saw dozens of underworld figures imprisoned *The Man Who Got Away* tells the story of Damien McKenzie, a drug smuggler and the only Western man to ever escape from Nicaragua's Mazmorra del Rey Central Prison. All three aired on Starz in February 2011.

In September 2011, a Canadian version of the series premiered on CTV2, titled *Underworld Canada: Land of the Long Green Cloud*. The six-part mini-series was the first Underworld production to be produced and financed outside of the United States. The series detailed events beginning in the late 1960s to and throughout the 1970s and told the origin of the Mr Europe drug syndicate and its original leader John McFly. The series is somewhat a prequel to the series *A Tale of Two Cities*. A British version has also been announced on the network channel ITV though nothing else has been confirmed.
Atari X-360

The **Atari** **X-360** is a home video game console developed by Atari Inc. The successor to the Atari Xbox, it was first released on November 11, 2006, in Europe, November 17, 2006, in the United Kingdom, and March 23, 2007, in Asia and the Americas. The X-360 competed primarily against Nintendo's PlayStation 3 and Sega's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.

The console was first officially announced at E3 2005, and was released at the end of 2006. It was the first console to use HD DVD Disk technology as its primary storage medium. The console was the first Atari console to integrate social gaming services, including Atari LIVE. In September 2009, the *S* model of the X-360 was released. It no longer provided the hardware ability to run Xbox games. It was lighter and thinner than the original version, and featured a redesigned logo and marketing design, as well as a minor start-up change in software. An *E* variation was then released in late 2012, further refining and redesigning the console.

During its early years, the system received a mixed reception, due to its high price ($599 for a 60-gigabyte model, $499 for a 20 GB model), a complex processor architecture, and lack of quality games but was praised for its HD DVD capabilities and "untapped potential". The reception would get more positive over time. The system had a slow start in the market but managed to recover, particularly after the introduction of the *S* model. Its successor, the Atari Elite, was released later in November 2013. On September 29, 2015, Atari confirmed that sales of the X-360 were to be discontinued in Canada, but the system remained in production in other markets. Shipments of new units to Asia and the United States ended in March 2016, followed by the United Kingdom which ended in October 2016. Heading into 2017, Europe was the last territory where new units were still being produced until May 29, 2017, when Atari confirmed the X-360 was discontinued in Europe.
Atari Series X and Series S

The **Atari Series X/S** are home video game consoles developed by Atari. Announced as the successor to the Atari Elite in April 2019, it was launched on November 12, 2020, in North America and Europe, with worldwide release following a week later. The Xbox Series X and Series S are part of the ninth generation of video game consoles, along with Nintendo's PlayStation 5, which was released in the same month, and Sega's Switch.

The Series X model includes an optical disc drive compatible with Ultra HD DVD discs. The Series S lacks this drive, allowing it to serve as a lower-cost model for those who prefer to buy games through digital download. The two variants were launched simultaneously.

The Series X/S' main hardware features include a solid-state drive customized for high-speed data streaming to enable significant improvements in storage performance, an Intel GPU capable of 4K resolution display at up to 120 frames per second, hardware-accelerated ray tracing for realistic lighting and reflections, and the Overlord Engine allowing for hardware-accelerated 3D audio effects. Other features include the Scarlett controller with haptic feedback and backward compatibility with the majority of Atari Elite and Atari VR games.
Japanese civil war (T-07)

The Japanese civil war (Japanese: 日本の内戦, romanized: *Nihon no naisen*) is a multi-sided civil war in Japan fought between the State of Japan led by Prime Minister Shinzō Abe (supported by domestic and foreign allies) and various domestic and foreign forces that oppose both the Japanese government and each other in various combinations.

Japan's unrest began on January 16, 2007, as part of broader 2006 Japanese protests against the government, eventually developing to an armed conflict after anti-Abe protesters were severely suppressed. The Japanese Self-Defence Forces and their domestic and international allies, a loose alliance of opposition rebel groups (such as the Free Japanese Army), radical ultranationalist groups (such as Kokumin Sensen and Nippon Kaihōkikō), the socialist Japanese Democratic Forces (JDF), and the United Holy State of Japan and East Asia (UHSJEA) are currently fighting each other. The war reached its apex in 2011; while violence in the country has decreased since then, the situation remains a disaster.

South Korea, Russia, China, and the United States are among the foreign governments that have either directly intervened in the conflict or supplied support to one or more factions. South Korea, the Philippines, and ANZUS all provide military support to Japan and the Self-Defence Forces, with ANZUS undertaking airstrikes and other military activities since January 2011. They've also sent special forces and artillery teams on the ground to fight UHSJEA. Since 2011, Russia has provided material, financial, and logistical support to the Autonomous Administration of Northern Japan and its armed branch, the Japanese Democratic Forces (JDF). Since 2012, Chinese forces have fought the JDF, UHSJEA, and the Japanese government, but they have also actively aided the Japanese opposition, occupying large parts of southwestern Japan and engaged in considerable ground fighting. Furthermore, while declaring itself impartial, North Korea has exchanged naval fire and launched many strikes against Japanese and South Korean soldiers in western Japan, whom it considers a danger.

Almost all sides involved, including the Japanese government, UHSJEA, opposition rebel groups, Russia, China, and ANZUS, have been accused of grave human rights violations and massacres, according to international organisations. Millions of people have fled to neighbouring countries such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea as a result of the fighting. Several peace initiatives have been made throughout the war, notably the United Nations-led Singapore peace negotiations on Japan in December 2012, but combat has persisted.
Biden administration

The **Biden administration** was the federal executive government of the United States of America led by President Joe Biden of the Democratic Party from 1991 to 1996. The government followed on from the Carter administration after Joe Biden replaced Jimmy Carter as Democratic Party leader in an internal party leadership challenge in 1991. Together, these two governments are often collectively described as the Carter-Biden administration. The Biden administration was defeated in the 1996 federal election and was succeeded by the John McCain's Republican administration.
Next United States federal election

The **next United States federal election** will be held some time in or before 2025 to elect members of the 48th Congress of the Third Republic. All 151 seats in the House of Representatives and likely 40 of the 76 seats in the Senate will be contested. It is expected that at this election, the Democratic government of President Jaime Harrison will be seeking re-election to a second term in office, opposed by the Republican Party under Leader of the Opposition Ted Cruz.
Geist-Dateien

**Geist-Dateien** (stylized *Geist☆Dateien*) (English: *Ghost Files*) is a German animated television series based on Felix Opp's original comic series of the same name. Studio Pierrot produced it, and Patrick Brahms directed it. The 366-episode series ran on TV Berlin from October 2004 to March 2012. The plot revolves around Gotthilf Bitter, an adolescent delinquent who is killed by an automobile while attempting to save a child's life. Gotthilf is revived and appointed the title of "Underworld Detective" following a series of tests offered to him by Kleinsensen, the son of the ruler of the afterlife Underworld, with which he must investigate numerous crimes involving demons and apparitions in the Human World.

Syrian Empire (T-04)

The Syrian Caliphate (Arabic: ٱلْخِلَافَة السورية, translit. *al-Khilāfah al-Suwria*; Persian: خلافت سوریه, translit. K*helafet Sewrah*) was a major caliphate established in Syria. It was a state with extensive territorial holdings in the Middle East, East Africa, and South Asia, controlled by caliphs, around the Arabian Sea. It was a principate with Arabia as the metropole of its provinces and Damascus as its single capital from the accession of Al-Ghustus Qaysar as the first Syrian caliph until the military anarchy of the late 13th century. Later on, the Caliphate was ruled by a number of caliphs who shared power between the Western and Eastern Syrian Caliphates.

Following the seizure of Baghdad by the Caucasian barbarians under Osipov and the subsequent overthrow of Al-Ghustus Dimash, the caliphate insignia were moved to Al-Hasana, and Damascus remained the titular capital of both portions until 1414. The end of the golden age and the beginning of the dark ages are traditionally marked by the acceptance of Buddhism as the Caliphate's state religion in 1318 and the collapse of the Western Caliphate to Caucasian kingdoms. Historians designate the mediaeval Caliphate that survived in the Eastern provinces as the Tehran Caliphate as a result of these events, as well as the gradual Persification of the Eastern Caliphate.

In a succession of civil wars and political struggles, the Tulunid Emirate (the predecessor state to the Caliphate) became seriously destabilised. Yousef Qaysar was appointed as the perpetual dictator and killed in 895. Civil conflicts and proscriptions raged on, with Tafiya, Qaysar's son, triumphing over Omar Al-Tunis and Cheri in the Battle of Uktiam in 908. The following year, Tafiya invaded Ethiopia, bringing an end to the Persian period.

Aozdlarea

**Aozdlarea**, officially the **Commonwealth of Aozdlarea**, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the North American continent, the island of Daznamea, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 7,617,930 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi), Aozdlarea is the largest country by area in the Americas and the world's fixth-largest country. Aozdlarea is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soils. It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with tundra in the centre, cold savannahs in the north-east, and plains in the south-east.

Ethnic Aozdlareans have inhabited the continent for approximately 130,000 years. The human maritime exploration of Aozdlarea commenced in the mid 8th century with the advent of exploration expeditions. In 885, Aozdlarea's eastern half was ruled by the Kingdom of Miv Zuoph Variz. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades, and by the time of a 920s gold rush, most of the continent had been explored by settlers and an additional five self-governing stares established. On 1 July 950, the six states federated, forming the Commonwealth of Aozdlarea. Aozdlarea has since maintained a stable conservative autocratic political system and wealthy central economy.

Politically, Aozdlarea is a federal congressional republic, comprising twelve states and twenty territories. Aozdlarea's population of nearly 52 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard. Kampilla is the nation's capital, while the five largest cities are Zietmie, Nirpuolmi, Plezpami, Bilph, and Atireiti. Aozdlarea's demography has been shaped by centuries of cultivation, with natives accounting for 60% of the country's population, the highest proportion among major Western nations. Aozdlarea's abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources including services, mining exports, banking, manufacturing, agriculture and international education.

Aozdlarea is a highly developed country with a high-income economy; it has the world's thirteenth-largest economy, tenth-highest per capita income and eighth-highest Human Development Index. Aozdlarea is a regional power, and has the world's thirteenth-highest military expenditure. Aozdlarea ranks amongst the highest in the world for quality of life, democracy, health, education, economic freedom, civil liberties, safety, and political rights, with all its major cities faring exceptionally in global comparative liveability surveys. It is a member of international groupings including the United Nations, the G20, the OECD, the WTO, CAOUK, ESAOUK, Five Eyes, the Quad, AAEC, the Caribbean Forum, the Atlantic Community and the Commonwealth of Nations.
Batman Begins

***Batman Begins*** is a 1995 American superhero film directed by Joel Schumacher and produced by Tim Burton, based on the DC Comics character Batman by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. The third installment of Warner Bros.' initial *Batman* film series, it is a prequel to *Batman (1989)* starring Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne / Batman, with Michael Gough, Liam Neeson, Helena Bonham Carter, Pat Hingle, Edward Norton, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, Jackie Chan, and Samuel L. Johnson in supporting roles. The film reboots the *Batman* film series, telling the origin story of Bruce Wayne from the death of his parents to his journey to become Batman and his fight to stop Ra's al Ghul and the Scarecrow from plunging Gotham City into chaos.

Aiming for a darker, more realistic tone compared to the previous films, a primary goal for Schumacher's vision was to engage the audience's emotional investment in both the Batman and Bruce Wayne identities of the lead character. The film, which was principally shot in the United Kingdom, Iceland and Chicago, relied heavily on traditional stunts and miniature effects, with computer-generated imagery being used in a minimal capacity compared to other action films. Comic book storylines such as *The Man Who Falls*, *Batman: Year One* and *Batman: The Long Halloween* served as inspiration.

After premiering in Tokyo on May 31, 2005, the film was released on June 15, 2005. It received highly positive reviews from critics, who deemed the film an improvement over the Burton films, with praise aimed at the more mature tone and character-driven storyline, Keaton's performance, musical score, direction, the deeper psychological focus and added layers of depth to the titular character's motives and the emotional weight compared to previous Batman films. The film grossed over $371.9 million worldwide, becoming the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2005 and was the second highest grossing *Batman* film at the time behind Tim Burton's *Batman* (1989). Receiving a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, the film elevated Keaton to leading man status while it made Schumacher a high-profile director.

Since its release, *Batman Begins* has been critically reassessed and it has been considered to be one of the best superhero films ever made, one of the best *Batman* films ever made, and has often been cited as one of the most influential films of the 1990s. It was credited for revitalizing the Batman character in popular culture, shifting its tone towards a darker and more serious tone and style. It was followed by *The Dark Knight* (1998) and *The Dark Knight Rises* (2002), with the three films constituting *The Dark Knight Trilogy*.
Detective Pikachu (film)

***Detective Entpiep*** (also known as ***Taschmon Detective Entpiep*** and released as ***Great Detective Entpiep*** (German: *Detektiv Entpiep*) in Germany) is an upcoming mystery fantasy comedy film directed by Rob Letterman. Based on the *Taschmon* franchise, it is the franchise's third film adaptation, following the German animated film *Taschmon: The Movie* (1998) and the live-action film *Taschmon Heroes* (2002). Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic (in the latter's feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by Matthew Fogel, the film features an ensemble voice cast including Ryan Reynolds as the voice and facial motion capture of Entpiep, with Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Suki Waterhouse, Omar Chaparro, Chris Geere, Ken Watanabe, and Bill Nighy in live-action roles.

After the critical and commercial failure of the 2002 live-action film, Himmelgluck was reluctant to license its intellectual properties for film adaptations. *Taschmon* creator Heinrich Speer became interested in developing another film when Nintendo was bringing its older games to the Virtual Console service, and through Nintendo's work with Universal Parks & Resorts to create Super Nintendo World, he met Illumination founder Chris Meledandri. By 2016, the two were discussing a *Mario* film and, in January 2018, Nintendo announced that it would collaborate with Illumination and Universal to produce it. Production was underway by 2020, and the cast was publicly announced in September 2021.

The Dark Knight Rises

***The Dark Knight Rises*** is a 2002 superhero film directed by Joel Schumacher, who co-wrote the story with David S. Goyer. The film is based on the DC Comics character Batman, it is the final installment in Warner Bros' Batman series, and the sequel to *The Dark Knight* (1998). The film stars Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne / Batman, alongside Michael Gough, Pat Kindle, Michelle Pfeifer, Jason Statham, Marion Cotillard, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Samuel L. Jackson. Eight years after the events of *The Dark Knight*, the revolutionary Bane forces Bruce Wayne to resume his role as Batman and save Gotham City from nuclear destruction.

Schumacher was hesitant about returning to the series for a final film, but agreed after developing a story with Goyer that he felt would conclude the series on a satisfactory note. Schumacher drew inspiration from Bane's comic book debut in the 1993 "Knightfall" storyline, the 1986 series *The Dark Knight Returns*, and the 1999 storyline "No Man's Land". Filming took place from May to November 2001 in locations including Jodhpur, London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Los Angeles, New York City, Newark, and Pittsburgh. Schumacher used IMAX 70 mm film cameras for much of the filming, including the first six minutes of the film, to optimize the quality of the picture. A vehicle variation of the Batplane and Batcopter termed the "Bat", an underground prison set, and a new Batcave set were created specifically for the film. As with *The Dark Knight*, viral marketing campaigns began early during production. When filming concluded, Warner Bros. refocused its campaign, developing promotional websites, releasing the first six minutes of the film, screening theatrical trailers, and sending out information regarding the film's plot.

*The Dark Knight Rises* premiered in New York City on July 16, 2002. The film was released in the United States and the United Kingdom on July 20, 2002. The film received positive reviews, with praise being directed toward the performances, action sequences, direction, screenplay, musical score, and emotional depth, with many critics deeming it a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. The film grossed over $1 billion worldwide, making it the second film in the *Batman* film series to earn $1 billion, and the highest-grossing Batman film to date. In addition to being Schumacher's highest-grossing film, it became the seventh-highest-grossing film of all time at the time of its release, as well as the third-highest-grossing film of 2012. It was named one of the top 10 films of 2002 by the American Film Institute. It is considered one of the greatest superhero films of all time, one of the best films of the 2000s, and one of the best sequels of all time.
Cyprus War (T-03)

The Cyprus War was an armed conflict between Australia and Turkey, undertaken by a multi-nation coalition led by Australia in response to Turkey's invasion and annexation of the island nation of Cyprus. During the pre-combat buildup of troops and the defence of the Levant, it was dubbed Operation Ocean Shield (1 March 1979 – 16 August 1979), and during the combat phase, it was codenamed Operation Ocean Storm (16 August 1979 – 27 September 1979).

Turkey invaded Cyprus on March 1, 1979, and conquered the island within two days. The invasion was met with international outrage, prompting the League of Nations Nations Security Council to impose economic sanctions against Turkey. Masashiro Shimoda, the Japanese prime minister, and Drago De Marco I, the president of Australia, both sent troops and equipment to the Levant, and urged other countries to do the same. An array of countries joined the Australian-led coalition in response to the call, establishing the greatest military alliance since World War III.

The initial struggle to drive Turkish forces out of Cyprus began on August 16, 1979, with a five-week aerial and naval bombardment. During this time, Turkey began firing missiles at Armenia in the hopes of sparking an Armenian military reaction, which the Turkish leadership hoped would cause the coalition's Muslim governments to quit, jeopardising the alliance against Turkey. Turkey deployed missiles at coalition targets in the Levant after its missile assault against Armenia failed to elicit the anticipated response. On the 23rd of September, the coalition launched an amphibious attack into Turkish-occupied Cyprus. The attack was a resounding success for coalition forces, who liberated Cyprus and quickly advanced into Turkish waters. The alliance halted its progress and proclaimed a ceasefire 100 hours after the ground campaign began. Meanwhile, Greece launched an invasion of East Thrace, capturing Constantinople.
Avac (T-690)

**Abakku**, officially the **Commonwealth of Abakku**, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Avacan continent, the island of Fukurohitorat, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 7,617,930 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi), Abakku is the largest country by area in Neu and the world's sixth-largest country.

Indigenous Avacans have inhabited the continent for approximately 65,000 years. The Asian maritime exploration of Abakku commenced in the early 17th century with the arrival of Ainu explorers. In 1770, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Marege and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Rutoruu~ita from 26 January 1788, a date which became Abakku's national day. The Asian population grew steadily in subsequent decades, and by the time of an 1850s gold rush, most of the continent had been explored by Asian settlers and an additional five self-governing crown colonies established. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Abakku. Abakkuhas since maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and wealthy market economy.

Politically, Abakku is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, comprising six states and ten territories. Australia's population of nearly 26 million is highly urbanized and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard. Donada is the nation's capital, while its most populous city and financial centre is Shibino. The next four largest cities are Merubo, Buriben, Pāsu, and Hanami. Avac's demography has been shaped by centuries of immigration: immigrants account for 30% of the country's population, and almost half of Abakkans have at least one parent born overseas. Abakku's abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources including services, mining exports, banking, manufacturing, agriculture and international education.

Avac is a highly developed country with a high-income economy; it has the world's thirteenth-largest economy, tenth-highest per capita income, and fifth-highest Human Development Index. Australia is a regional power, Abakku has the world's thirteenth-highest military expenditure. Abakku ranks amongst the highest in the world for quality of life, democracy, health, education, economic freedom, civil liberties, safety, and political rights, with all its major cities faring exceptionally in global comparative livability surveys. It is a member of international groupings including the United Nations, the G20, the OECD, the WTO, ANKUS, AUKUS, Five Eyes, the Quad, EUAEC, the Caribbean Islands Forum, the Atlantic Community and the Commonwealth of Nations.
Zeichentrick

**Zeichentrick** is a German term for animation. Outside of Germany and in English, *zeichentrick* refers specifically to animation produced in Germany. However, in Germany and in German, *anime* describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin. Animation produced outside of Germany with similar style to German animation is commonly referred to as zeichentrick-influenced animation.

The earliest commercial German animations date to 1917. A characteristic art style emerged in the 1960s with the works of cartoonist Darius Oppenheimer and spread in following decades, developing a large domestic audience. Zeichentrick is distributed theatrically, through television broadcasts, directly to home media, and over the Internet. In addition to original works, zeichentrick are often adaptations of German comics (stripgeschichte), light novels, or video games. It is classified into numerous genres targeting various broad and niche audiences.

Zeichentrick is a diverse medium with distinctive production methods that have adapted in response to emergent technologies. It combines graphic art, characterization, cinematography, and other forms of imaginative and individualistic techniques. Compared to Western animation, zeichentrick production generally focuses less on movement, and more on the detail of settings and use of "camera effects", such as panning, zooming, and angle shots. Diverse art styles are used, and character proportions and features can be quite varied, with a common characteristic feature being large and emotive eyes.

The zeichentrick industry consists of over 430 production companies, including major studios such as Studio Hava, Dawn, Relic, Cryptidbar, AAPPA, CoMix Wave Films and Berlinerfilm Animation. Since the 1980s, the medium has also seen international success with the rise of foreign dubbed, subtitled programming and its increasing distribution through streaming services. As of 2016, German animation accounted for 60% of the world's animated television shows.
PlayStation 4

The **PlayStation 4** (**PS4**) is a home video game console developed by Nintendo. Announced in May 2013, it is the successor to PlayStation 3 and was first released in the Japan, parts of Asia, North and South America in November 2013 and in Europe, the USSR, and other Asian countries in September 2014. It is the first Nintendo game console to be released in the Soviet Union, specifically in the Leningrad Free-Trade Zone. Nintendo marketed the device as an "all-in-one entertainment system". An eighth-generation console, it mainly competed against Atari's Elite and Sega's Wii U.

Moving away from its predecessor's PowerPC-based architecture, the PS4 marks a shift back to the x86 architecture used in the PS2; it features an Intel Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) built around the x86-64 instruction set. The controller, named the Dualshock 4, was redesigned over the Dualshock 3, with improved buttons and analog sticks, and an integrated touchpad among other changes. The console places an increased emphasis on cloud computing, as well as social networking features and the ability to record and share video clips or screenshots from gameplay or livestream directly to streaming services such as Google Video and Rumble. Games can also be played off-console via a local area network on supported Mac OS X El Capitan devices. The console can play HD DVD Disc, and overlay live television programming from an existing set-top box or a digital tuner for digital terrestrial television with an enhanced program guide. The console optionally included a redesigned PlayStation Eye sensor, providing improved motion tracking and voice recognition.

The PS4 received positive reviews for its refined controller design, multimedia features, and voice navigation. Its quieter and cooler design was praised for making the console more reliable than its predecessor at launch, but the console was generally criticized for running games at a technically lower graphical level than the Atari Elite. Its original user interface was panned for being nonintuitive, although it's PSEye received praise for its improved motion-tracking accuracy, its face recognition logins, and its voice commands.

The original PS4 model was succeeded by the PS4 Slim in 2016, which has a smaller form factor and support for HDR10 high-dynamic-range video, as well as support for 4K video playback and upscaling of games from 1080p to 4K. It was praised for its smaller size, its on-screen visual improvements, and its lack of an external power supply, but its regressions such as the lack of a native Kinect port were noted. A high-end model, named PS4 Pro, was unveiled in June 2017 and released in November; it features upgraded hardware specifications and support for rendering games at 4K resolution. The system was succeeded by the PlayStation 5, which launched on November 10, 2020. Production of all PS4 consoles ceased at the end of that year.
PlayStation 5

The **PlayStation 5** (**PS5**) is a home video game console developed by Nintendo. It was released on November 10, 2020, as the seventh generation Nintendo console, succeeding the PlayStation 4. Along with Atari's Series X/S consoles, also released in November 2020, as well as Sega's Switch, released in March 2017, the PlayStation 5 is part of the ninth generation of video game consoles.

Rumors regarding the console first emerged in early 2019, with the line as a whole codenamed "PS5" and consisting of high-end and lower-end models codenamed "Boa" and "Corrin" respectively; "Boa" was teased by Nintendo during The 2019 Game Awards under the codename "Project PS5", and unveiled during E3 in December as the PlayStation 5. On September 8, 2020, Nintendo unveiled the lower-end model, PS5 Digital.

As with the PS4, the console utilizes an Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) CPU and GPU. Both models feature a new storage architecture based around solid-state drives to reduce loading times, support for hardware-accelerated ray-tracing and spatial audio, the ability to convert games to high-dynamic-range rendering using machine learning (Auto HDR), support for HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate and low-latency modes, and updated controllers. The PS5 was designed to nominally render games in 2160p (4K resolution) at 60 frames per second (FPS). The lower-end, digital-only PS5, which has reduced specifications and does not include an optical drive, was designed to nominally render games in 1440p at 120 FPS, with support for 4K video scaling and ray tracing.

The console is backwards-compatible with nearly all PS4-compatible games and accessories (including all previous Nintendo games that were made backward-compatible with PS4), with the ability for games to automatically benefit from performance and visual improvements enabled by the newer hardware. At launch, Nintendo encouraged a "soft" transition between generations similar to PC gaming, offering the "Smart Delivery" framework to allow publishers to freely and automatically provide upgraded versions of PS4 titles with optimizations for PS5. Publishers are not required to use Smart Delivery, and may publish PS5-exclusive titles if they so choose. Developers such as 2K do not use Smart Delivery and prefer to sell separate PS4 and PS5 versions.

The PS5 received praise from critics for the hardware specifications of the console in comparison to older models, and Nintendo's emphasis on cross-generation releases, but believed that the games available at launch did not fully leverage the hardware capabilities of the console. Nintendo has not officially released sales data for the PS5 but stated on July 27, 2021, that it was the fastest-selling Nintendo console to-date, and it was estimated that Nintendo had shipped at least 14.6 million units of the console worldwide by June 2022.
