* Akashgrad
	+ A Hindu city full of beautiful temples and fascinating literature.

	+ Radumo loves this show because of Posillon's dresses.
* Ādi, Edi, and Ædi (Аді, Еді, і Ѣді) - a popular comedic cartoon about three stupid boys, similar to Ed Edd and Eddy or the Three Stooges, but with more slapstick, crashes, explosions, and bleak nihilism to accentuate the boys' stupidity.
	+ In Russia, Е and Ѣ are pronounced in the same sound, "je", while in Bujanski these are for separate phonemes. When the show was introduced to Russia in Earth-27, it was spelled as Adi, Yedi, and Edi (Ади, Еди, и Эди).

#### Gdjestrana

* Gdjestrana
	+ Satirical depictions of Bujanski society as a fictional republic dealing with nonsensical allies and enemies.

#### Characters

##### Superheroes

* The Splicer
* Who-Is-That
* Mite Man
* Falcon
* Moonhunter
* Loads-of-Guns
* Pencil Poker
* "Pork Chops" Okhuraka
	+ A muscular lieutenant from Baido who chews cigars and fires a minigun.

##### Others

* MP (Minister of Parliament) Buspusher/Tolǐklestelǐ
	+ In Bujanski slang, "bus-pusher" means "a loser".

* Zolǐnik
	+ A robotic wolf that was designed by Dr. Soirazum (Friedmind) to entertain guests. He was installed with Celestial machinery, but its improper, poorly-adjusted functions caused that robot to eat cigarettes and become unintelligent.
	+ Its audience tends to be teenagers and young adults (mostly boys and men), who enjoyed watching Zolinik make a fool of himself.

### Pinogunian

* Alone in the Greenhouse
	+ This series was a mockery of the Porasonids' obsession with trees.
* Student of Frustration
	+ This was Radumo's favourite cartoon series.

### Porasonid

* Ruotan and Parmankjapoi
	+ Two fictional countries inhabited by Buddhist bisexuals. Ruotan is a nation of drug addicts, while its rival Parmankjapoi became a regional power armed with advanced technology.
	+ Lashvansh is depicted as one of Ruotan's kings, fighting monsters before becoming a guardian deity of bisexuals.
	+ Bisarruloz is shown as the last prince of Ruotan before its destruction.

* Râvana Atrozaroi
	+ The Porasonid version of the Ramayana, becoming more tragic and cruel than the original. Its name means "the hubris of Ravana".
	+ It is an inversion of the aforementioned book and stage play as it makes the titans Ravana and his brother Vibhishana as the tragic protagonists. It also makes Vibhishana and his friend Avindhya as sympathetic characters, as they unsuccessfully try to stop Ravana from becoming more corrupt and cruel.
	+ Likewise, the antagonists are Ravana himself and his minister Kalanemi. Ravana's greed for power turned him away from his wisdom and former devotion to Shiva, and (deviating from the original) Kalanemi encouraged him to become more destructive so he can become as powerful as the rakshasas.
	+ Rakshasas are depicted either as sentient beasts, or asuras who have become too evil. In the course of the story, Ravana changed from a student of Shiva into a bloodthirsty savage.
	+ It was intended to teach people that arrogance destroys lives, and that every action always has consequences. It was also done to mourn the atrocities of their Ontemazei ancestors:
		- Kalanemi represents the Ontemazei authorities; the rakshasas represent the Ontemazei armies; Ravana represents the Ontemazei people who destroyed themselves; and Vibhishana and Avindhya represent Porashon and other dissidents who had no choice but to rebel against their bloodthirsty empire.
		- It was also held on several dates of the Ontemazei Empire's festivals, such as Mithura's Birthday, the Destruction of Jerde, etc.

* Kalokei
	+ A tyranny of monsters in the far edge of the world "where the sun never shines".
	+ It is also a caricature of the Ontemazei Empire, its cruelty, its cannibalism, and its debauchery.
	+ Its oppression is enforced by the infernal macchuseno, demonic overlords: Lust, Aversion, Hunger and Thirst, Craving, Sloth, Cowardice, Doubt, Hypocrisy, False-Triumph, and Selfishness. Every day, they hunt for people to kill and eat.
	+ "Kalokei" was derived from the Sanskrit name "Kalakeya", and it is used to refer to evil Ontemazei.

### Marnosyn

* Sleipnir (media adaptation)
* Slonar the Skeleton Lord
	+ Unatils (skeleton army)

* Ice-Cream Town
	+ A 19th-century AT film about a town of ice-cream factories and trucks being slowly invaded by Heronoi, who later attempt to kill the inhabitants in a fit of murderous, berserk rage triggered by the smell of ice-cream and its resulting nightmares towards their blonde foes.
	+ In one ending, the townsfolk kill all the Heronoi. In another, the Heronoi kill everyone in the town, and driven mad by the smell of ice-cream they make more ice-cream from the bodies of their enemies and descend into cannibalism.
	+ This tragic work was inspired by the riots in eastern Heronoja that led to the deaths of hundreds of Waxeroi and their departure from the country, reducing the disgusted mobs into a savage horde.
	+ In Marnos, it led to mistreatment of its local Heronoi, who were associated with their murderous kin in their homeland. In Heronoja, it was simply regarded as just another horror film, but with the Waxeroi replacing the "Heronoi" murderers in the film.

### Josolchir

See also: Josolchir mythology

* Princess Pjalariz
	+ A show about a unicorn princess.
	+ It once had a crossover episode where Pjalariz went on a date with Sleipnir, angering hundreds of fans from around the (free) world.

* Jaupoz Jon
	+ A show about a gryphon who uses various laser guns to fight his enemies.

### Siangwaanian

* Sao Lang the Superhero
	+ A superhero who fights evil Wannaenid scientists. At one particular incident, he frees a scientist and his horse from a Wannaenid laboratory in a cave.
* Da Zeng
	+ A detective-themed novel. Its main character, who is codenamed as "Dok Saau", became the namesake of a certain pet unicorn.

* Yam Gaai (陰界)
	+ A fantasy novel. It is set in a dim, moist world lit only by a glowing green moon, later revealed to be created by the third Yim Lo king of the underworld, Chogiong Wong (楚江王), as an experiment. Its main characters consisted of walking corpses that constantly live in fear of "birth" and "life", when they vanish into light after a certain number of decades.
		- The corpses were "born" by emerging from magical graves as youths or adults: some corpses age normally, while others (with less gray skin and hair) get younger after reaching a certain age, but all of them know how many years are left until they disappear by reducing the number of candles on their cakes.
		- If a corpse's body is destroyed/killed, it reappears and emerges from the nearest magic grave.
		- For example, Yamgaaivians wear black and white on New Year's Day, and they drink blood instead of tea. Zi Hong's (their equivalent of Hong Zi) birthday is celebrated with self-torture.
		- Their thirteenth birthdays instead mourn the start of the loss of their comforts, and their sixty-second birthdays celebrate them not vanishing into light by wearing silver and green and eating salt made from their own fingernails.
		- Their birthdays are known as "death days", when a corpse magically emerges from a grave. Conversely, the dates of their deaths are instead known and feared as "birthdays", when a corpse disappears into light: according to their religion, such unfortunate souls are reborn as children of living flesh out of a womb, to live a life of more suffering. If a corpse is killed, its remains crumble into dust, and it might reappear in the nearest grave.
		- Every corpse is born with the knowledge of how many years until their estimated birth, so death day has a shrinking amount of candles. Once a death day has three candles left, the corpse becomes more afraid and aware of their coming doom.
		- Corpses mourn life and birth by wearing colourful clothes. In Ngaaungat (anti-Siangwaan), the local corpses wear red and gold as a person gets closer to birth.
		- Their enemies include large bats, fungal wolves, worm-like wolves, cannibalistic vampires, various spiders, glowing fungal forests, and living spores made of cobweb-like ooze, who eagerly chew, devour, and torment any unlucky corpses. Occasionally, demons from Diyu would sneak past Chogiong Wong's guards and wreak havoc into that world, setting large areas ablaze and destroying its cities with hellfire.
* (certain Heronoi superheroines)
	+ These were created by several Waxeroi artists to celebrate their lost life in Heronoja.
		- Paladina - a woman with a shield and sword
		- Rosetta - an agent in white
		- Elendira - another woman in white with a spear and shield that shoots lightning

### Vozonid

* Various doodles of anthropomorphic gryphons
	+ Mostly used to make fun of the different conditions of the Vozonid nations.

* Mithura and Goruso dramas and comedies
* Karkilaz
	+ Karkilaz ("land of spinels") is a fictional country used to make fun of Vozolaz's backwards society. It is depicted either as a remnant of Sarmelonid glory, or a faction of mutants obsessed with its eponymous spinels.

### Arantarese

* Noskovjoltoz/Noskovjoz
	+ A newspaper comic about a gryphon who draws political cartoons making fun of the regions around Arantar. It is set in a fictional country known as "Moljatar"/"Molshoritar"/"Motjatar" (which means "sensible country"), bordered by impoverished "Rūmolaz" ("red land") and "Ōvjotar" ("crazy country" to the east.

### Azgovian

* Various doodles of anthropomorphic gryphons
	+ Mostly used to make fun of the different conditions of the Vozonid nations.

### Heronoi

* Kanewariba
	+ One of many, many romantic dramas. Such shows are popular among young Heronoi, who tend to have watch parties for such dramas or sports games.
* Blonde Fighter
	+ An action game that pits one of 84 characters against each other. Much of its content is a satire on Heronoi society, and its characters represent many stereotypes of different people and trends, hence the name.
* Karakewe Shore
	+ The original series was about an isolated family of nobles' debauchery. As the series became more crude, it became so repulsive to its audiences that its characters were replaced by a sanitised group that acted as ancient characters.
	+ Certain episodes were notorious for causing attacks and riots that forced the mixed-blooded Waxeroi to leave Heronoja, to avoid being beaten up and killed by mobs.

* Lawastan
	+ A fictional nation located southwest of Uvjora inhabited by drunkards and unintelligent people, and the subject of many Heronoi jokes. Its name was derived from the Sarmelonid phrase "lawa lawa" ("take it easy"), and its people are mixed descendants of Epadwaranai and locals.
	+ One notable Lawastanian is "Koqueta", a drunk woman who belches and tumbles down.

* Hatakutari
	+ A female snowy owl who works as the mascot for the Royal Post Service of Heronoja. Often shipped with her counterpart from Nolworra in the north.

* kurynaworai (blonde-washing, blondening)
	+ Not necessarily Heronoi nor a specific franchise, but it is the practice of foreign artists making their characters blonde and blue-eyed to attract them. It later led to other Heronoi laughing at "blonde-washed" characters as a stupid practice.

* Roki and Zoki
	+ A newspaper comic about two Heronoi women: Roki (formerly known as Duki) is the feminine one who uses magic, while Zoki is the crazy one who loves guns and rocket launchers. Some episodes and arcs involve Roki and Zoki having the opposite personalities (for example, Zoki being a princess mage, while Roki firing missiles from her guns and cannons).

### Pelarin

* The Fox of Verucci
* Orientation Day
	+ A videogame set in an office where one's boring first day at work turned into a fight against raiders and militants.

### Ardeschen

* And Fifty People Watched
* Palace of Pain
	+ A game show that frustrates the contestants. The one who manages to keep their cool wins an awful prize.
* The Insanity Has Progressed/Insanity Progress
* Athanaia and Artamis
	+ A popular stage play about a rivalry between the Archonian goddesses Athanaia and Artamis, which represent the struggle between civilisation and wildness. The composer also used popular stereotypes to depict the two deities: Athanaia was depicted as symbolic of sanity, aspiration, and order, and Artamis became a villain that represented chaos, desire, and madness.
	+ Two other supporting characters are used: Histia and Aphrodita. The wise woman Histia tries to mediate Athanaia's and Artamis' quarrels, and the comic relief Aphrodita plays pranks against the other three goddesses.
	+ It became popular during the Ardeschen Empire, when its government used the play to represent its quest for global domination. Statues of Athanaia were built all over the empire and its colonies, while it denounced its enemies and rebels as "children of Artamis".
	+ During the reign of Red Ardesch, Artamis was rehabilitated as a symbol of natural desires, such as sexuality, sensuality, change, diversity, and anger; while her rival Athanaia was either treated lightly as a symbol of higher science or reviled as an arrogant emblem of the old emperors.
	+ In modern times, the four goddesses were renamed and flanderised to Thanai, Tarmis, Issai, and Brodisa, to avoid offending their namesakes.

### Palguenian

* Broken Plates
	+ A comedic cartoon about a rivalry between a summer camp and a boarding school, Solstice Camp and Equinox Academy.
	+ One of its characters, Tobaran, was a blonde man. As Dr. Pinto's favourite character, his doodles of him shirtless led to one website forcing him to delete his drawings, and eventually the destruction of the website's owner out of revenge.
	+ Later, Broken Plates was hastily finished to focus more on merchandise of the Zomurudins. By that time, many fans loved the characters so much, that they were furious when the staff members made them lose their dreams, and yet forced the characters to have an inconsistent happy ending. For example, Patosol dreaded his parents, yet said goodbye with a smile and hugged his parents without them apologising to him.
	+ The only response the Lykina show staff answered, "You just need to let go of the past and embrace change. It's natural for everything to come and go! Accept it!" This only made the fans even more hateful, that occasionally they were beaten up and the studio burned with fire.
	+ The studio was taken over during the Terran invasion of Palguenia, who protected the former staff who worked at the show. The Walaara Terrans remade it to a more unpleasant series, where everything looked ugly and cheap to amuse the rulers, while the Denlotians made their own wartime version that was more idealistic.
	+ After the victory of the Denlotia, some of the show staff were killed off during the Day of Resolution.
* Zomurudins
	+ A series about six green women from a species of gem people, who fight criminals and demons as a team of detectives.
	+ The bigger rival of Broken Plates, and the more popular series in Lykina Studios.
	+ Many fans often fought each other, to the point that as violence grew rampant in Palguenian society, fights and murders broke out between zealous fans. Eventually they put aside their rivalries to defend their homeland against the Terrans, who forcibly rewrote the show to fit Terran views.
	+ Some of the surviving fanatics of the Zomurudin show were forced to kill each other during the Day of Resolution.

### Denlotian

* Broken Plates Evermore
	+ A revival and rewrite of the series of the same name.
	+ Instead of being a randomised comedy that left its beloved characters in broken, inconsistent fates, the Denlotians who rewrote the series expanded the whole setting with their theories and fan characters, given free reign to start a new studio that welcomed old and younger fans from across Palguenia and Ardesch. It became known as the House of the Two Schools, at the border between the two nations.
	+ Although it was not as absurdly comedic as its predecessor, its focus on making its characters (including old fan-favourites) more relatable with happy endings made it more popular. One of the founders awarded some of the directors for their improved story-writing, while two of them calmly suggested that there should be some more humour to be balanced with its consistency and idealism.
	+ The Denlotia's enemies, including some of the former staff who fled the Denlotia, condemned the show as "stolen from them". One of the show's writers, notorious for making the main characters suffer losing their hopes, made a new series that killed off each character one by one.

### Hothrovian

* Murder Number (other countries: Murder Number Sixty-Six/Six Six Six Six)
	+ A dystopian satire centred around the misadventures of a company of mercenaries and assassins in a criminal underworld. The namesake was Assignment Number Sixty-Six (Four Sixes in foreign editions), the first assignment seen in the pilot episode. It involved bombing a luxurious dinner party, the assassin wasting his bounty money on his own dance party, and a cliffhanger where he fights another serial killer dressed as a clown.
	+ The numbers 66, 69, 666, and 6666, recurring motifs in the show, all represent one thing: "your whole job is a curse, and you are wasting your life". These numbers were used in ancient Remia, as symbols used in sorcery and war to threaten death and illness, that instead became into a mockery of the same sorcerers in modern times after a theocracy was overthrown.
	+ Ragnvald became famous after his debut, where in spite of his average frame, his character as a henchman was the most capable of his gang when fighting a rival gang's incursion. His fans especially cheered when they watched him punch the rival gang members, even pilots of mecha suits that he just threw out of their seats or shot in their faces. His character's name was Alfred Lograrsson, employee number 6693, but his fans called him "the guy who actually did his job right".

### Rukanian

* Ban Rotorisko ("Sir Helicopter")
	+ A comedic anecdote about a young man who completed his knightly training, and spent his birthday money purchasing his own helicopter. He challenges people to motorcycle jousting duels until some guy just rode into the jousting field and beat him in one match, causing others to mock his arrogance and wastefulness.

### Uncertain

* Various shows about horses doing stupid things
* An audience consisting of skeletons - represents a show being more pointless and ridiculous.
* "The Moon is the World's Bus Station" - many space flights rest on the Bujanski side of the Moon, where they refuel on stations before finishing their journey at some other part of Jerde.
	+ "The Moon is the Biggest Bus Station in the World"
	+ "The Moon is a Bus Station"

## Alien nations

### Nandegakkovian

* Mr. Crabface
	+ A popular show about a foolish anthropomorphic lobster-crab who gets subjected to slapstick humour and abuse.
* "Nandegakkovian canon"/Grand Unified Myth
	+ The Nandegakkovian version of Igarin mythology in its past and "heretical" variants, woven into a single canon. Became popular for being one of several remaining sources of ancient history other than the sanitised Imperial Igarin canon.
	+ It also was known for its more optimistic ending, where the god Naeloros turns all virtuous mortals into god-like beings, who will then destroy evil and bring an eternal peace.

### Kuelgon/Konjor

See also: Konjor pop culture

* Mithura (originally Arentosian)
	+ A historical queen who ruled over a small kingdom on the planet Arentos during the Poreseai Empire, and was then worshipped by her people as a guardian with her husband Goruso. She usually appears as a purple-haired queen clad in robes and gold armour, wearing a crown of six stars, and waving a spear-flag tipped with a star or a skull.
	+ The Konjors turned her into a toy franchise, and it angered the Arentosians into revolting against Konjor rule for blaspheming their goddess.
	+ The Ontemazei also worshipped her for her people's similarity with their bodies, and during the Ontemazei Empire she became its patron goddess. The Porasonids and their descendants still worship her, or have revived the worship of her, but without violent rituals.
	+ Because of her association with the Ontemazei Empire and its genocides against humanity, the Vozonids treated her as a bringer of death. In later times, she was treated once again as a tragic heroine, a costume for women, and even as a superheroine.

## Defunct nations

### Ardeschi (Red Ardesch)

* Boesarlo the Valiant
	+ A television show about a pilot that taught moral lessons after each episode. Its main character, Boesarlo Vonnedarnso, had female and male lovers in later seasons.
	+ Thousands of years later, it became the inspiration for the myth of Lashvansh.
* Consider This (Vaalesch Kast)
	+ This movie is a propaganda film about a fictional dictatorship that punishes heterosexual people, as an inversion of how non-heterosexuals were treated in many countries during the Sixteenth Age. It was named after the first two words of its opening monologue:
		- Ardeschi: ***Vaalesch kast**, min frointee, ve 'ch hcaastg-au vy-d onst zta. Vusst vy esren-st gaan-hceer vilt o launs? Laus-st vai zta, sur nae hcaastg-est vy-d. Volau en sger skarnegalree na-uvid baschdach'en.*
		- [ˈʋaːlɛʃ kast mɪn ˈfrɔjntɛː ʋɛːc ˈxaːs(t)gaʊ̯ ʋɯ ˈdonstʌ ʋus(ː)t ʋɯ (ɛ)ˈsrɛnst ˈgaːnxɛːr ˈʋɪlto laʊ̯ns laʊ̯s(ː)t ʋaɪ̯ stʌ sur næː ˈxaːstgɛst ʋɯd ʋoˈlaʊ̯ ɛn skɛr ˈskarnɛgʌ(l)rɛː ˈnaʊ̯vɪd ˈbaʃdacɛn]
		- Translation: "**Consider this**, my friends, if it happened to you instead of them. Would you expect any pity or love? Love for them, so this will not happen to you. Watch and see the consequences of unbound hatred."
	+ Although this film was distributed only to Ardeschi cinemas, other countries interpreted the film as a threat to impose Ardeschi rule throughout the world. They condemned it and declared war against Red Ardesch. On the other hand, many Ardeschis used the film to frighten and threaten their enemies, which fuelled its notorious interpretation elsewhere.
	+ It was also due to Ardesch's wars against other nations which led to its enemies fearing that empire and that particular film.
	+ It is now known in history as "the film that launched a hundred battleships." Some people even consider it a horror film because of Red Ardesch's association with vengeful ghosts and the undead.

* Danrusolto
	+ A romantic drama between two young men. One of several works that were left unaltered in the regime of Red Ardesch.
* Spento
	+ An adaptation of an Ardeschen fairy-tale about a woman who returns as a ghost and kills her abusers.
	+ In the original version, she was merely a wife to a man, and her weapon was a knight's longsword dipped black with his blood.
	+ In the Ardeschi version, her neck was covered with blood, and her weapons were changed to a chainsaw and a coffee jug filled with wrath. The Red Ardeschi government also replaced her husband with a girlfriend.
	+ After the collapse of Red Ardesch, her character was later used as a festive costume by women to scare or fight in mock duels with their friends.
	+ Various remakes known as "The Blood Knight" are popular among young women and men for the characters' armour and personality. To a lesser extent, some remakes were also popular due to blood and sex appeal to men.

### Rannarisk

* Ljósti
	+ A doll franchise during the latter days of the Rannarisk Empire.
	+ Originally, it was designed by Helgea Vilarmostir as a reflection of her childhood, but it became into an educational toy for younger girls.
	+ When the Rannarisk Empire collapsed, the doll became a subject of ridicule. The successors of the Rannarisk Empire used it in satirical stories, especially to mock the Glassamyntid Dynasty's obsession with blonde-blue-eyed people.
	+ In the northerly federation of Gylhar, the mutated blonde people used the doll as a symbol of their rebellion. They reclaimed the doll from the emperors who tormented them, embracing it as a reminder not of their suffering, but of their desire for freedom to pursue the wisdom of Odin.
	+ When the Heronoi conquered/liberate Solburd, the Norse kingdoms compared the Heronoi to the Ljósti dolls, as they were disgusted by the Heronoi's obsession with beauty, their excitement, and their frustration. It began the practice of referring Heronoi people as "dolls".
